Piezo channels in the urinary system

The Piezo channel family, including Piezo1 and Piezo2, includes essential mechanosensitive transduction molecules in mammals. Functioning in the conversion of mechanical signals to biological signals to regulate a plethora of physiological processes, Piezo channels, which have a unique homotrimeric three-blade propeller-shaped structure, utilize a cap-motion and plug-and-latch mechanism to gate their ion-conducting pathways. Piezo channels have a wide range of biological roles in various human systems, both in vitro and in vivo. Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of their antagonists and agonists, and therefore further investigation is needed. Remarkably, increasingly compelling evidence demonstrates that Piezo channel function in the urinary system is important. This review article systematically summarizes the existing evidence of the importance of Piezo channels, including protein structure, mechanogating mechanisms, and pharmacological characteristics, with a particular focus on their physiological and pathophysiological roles in the urinary system. Collectively, this review aims to provide a direction for future clinical applications in urinary system diseases.Subject terms: Bladder disease, Bladder cancer, Prostate cancer, Oncogenesis     

Anisotropic Superconducting Properties of Kagome Metal CsV_3Sb_5

We systematically measure the superconducting(SC) and mixed state properties of high-quality CsV_3 Sb_5 single crystals with T_c～3.5 K.We find that the upper critical field H_(c2)(T) exhibits a large anisotropic ratio of H_(c2)~(ab)/H_(c2)~c～9 at zero temperature and fitting its temperature dependence requires a minimum two-band effective model.Moreover,the ratio of the lower critical field,H_(c1)~(ab)/H_(c1)~c,is also found to be larger than 1,which indicates that the in-plane energy dispersion is strongly renormalized near Fermi energy.Both H_(c1)(T) and SC diamagnetic signal are found to change little initially below T_c～3.5 K and then to increase abruptly upon cooling to a characteristic temperature of ～2.8 K.Furthermore,we identify a two-fold anisotropy of in-plane angular-dependent magnetoresistance in the mixed state.Interestingly,we find that,below the same characteristic T～2.8 K,the orientation of this two-fold anisotropy displays a peculiar twist by an angle of 60° characteristic of the Kagome geometry.Our results suggest an intriguing superconducting state emerging in the complex environment of Kagome lattice,which,at least,is partially driven by electron-electron correlation.

超声喷雾电离源的研制与表征

研制了超声喷雾电离源(SSI)。采用核糖核酸A、溶菌酶等样品和商品化的线性离子阱质谱仪对该电离源进行了表征。实验发现,对于生物大分子,超声喷雾电离质谱(SSI-MS)能够获得与电喷雾质谱(ESI-MS)类似的多电荷离子。但与同等条件下ESI-MS所获得的谱图相比,SSI主要获得低价态的多电荷离子。在此基础上,系统考察了SSI-MS各主要操作参数对不同价态蛋白质多电荷离子信号强度的影响,并提出了SSI离子化的可能机理。结果表明,在喷雾气压3.4~3.6 MPa、喷雾口到质谱入口的距离4~6 mm、离子传输管温度250~300℃、样液流速50~100μL/min、2%~5%甲酸酸性且不含甲醇的条件下,各价态蛋白质离子信号强度及信号分布均达到最优;而离子传输管温度越高,喷雾压力越大或溶剂中甲醇等挥发性成分越高,则越有利于低价态离子的形成。

PCBs的超(亚)临界水催化氧化及还原裂解

简要分析了多氯联苯(PCBs)的来源及其对环境构成的危害,介绍了PCBs在超（亚）临界水中的反应及其处理效果。分别从超临界水氧化、超临界水裂解及亚临界水还原三个方面阐明了超临界反应过程中PCBs降解的反应路径和降解效率,解释了共溶剂（甲醇、苯）、碱催化剂（Na₂CO₃、NaOH）、氧化剂（NaNO₃、NaNO₂）等对PCBs脱氯和分解的增效作用机理。发现在超临界水氧化与超临界水裂解条件下CH3OH对PCBs降解反应的促进机制有所不同,碱催化剂通过中和反应过程中产生的HCl生成NaCl沉淀导致体系中Cl的含量降低,从而促进脱氯反应的进行。对反应器防腐、处理的经济性方面略作讨论,在总结上述研究工作的基础上提出了PCBs的超临界反应处理技术未来发展的若干研究方向。
