氨对硅基铁纳米薄膜高温重凝核的影响

采用弧过滤离子沉积系统（arc filtered deposition,AFD）在纯硅表面制备铁纳米薄膜。研究了750℃下铁纳米薄膜在氢气氛围以及氨气氛围中重凝核的规律。研究表明,在氢气氛围中,铁纳米薄膜重凝核以后形成的铁纳米颗粒随薄膜的厚度增加以及保温时间的延长而增大;但在氨气氛围中,铁纳米薄膜重凝核后形成的纳米颗粒的尺寸随保温时间的变化更为复杂：在氨气作用的初始阶段,铁颗粒的尺寸随氨气作用时间的延长而逐渐变大,但一段时间以后,铁颗粒的尺寸又随氨气作用时间的延长而变小,直到铁颗粒平均直径达到一个最小值（大约在氨气介入后的12min）,随后铁颗粒的尺寸又逐渐变大,并最终达到一稳定值。     

大功率固态调制器的仿真研究

 设计了大功率固态调制器的新型固态脉冲开关模块。通过分析电力电子仿真软件Saber中绝缘栅双极晶体管(IGBT)物理模型的概念和等效电路,结合实验数据建立了IXDH20N120型IGBT的模型,研究了Saber环境下,不同参数条件和拓扑结构对调制器电路输出特性的影响。仿真结果表明：动态均压网络在有效地保护开关的同时,可以减少IGBT的开关损耗;电路中器件离散性与系统分布参数会造成调制器输出波形质量下降,效率降低。并对调制器在负载打火情况下,因严重不均流而损坏器件故障的机理作了分析,实验证明仿真结果和分析与实际相符。     

The Extracts of Polygonum cuspidatum Root and Rhizome Block the Entry of SARS-CoV-2 Wild-Type and Omicron Pseudotyped Viruses via Inhibition of the S-Protein and 3CL Protease

COVID-19, resulting from infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, caused a contagious pandemic. Even with the current vaccines, there is still an urgent need to develop effective pharmacological treatments against this deadly disease. Here, we show that the water and ethanol extracts of the root and rhizome of Polygonum cuspidatum (Polygoni Cuspidati Rhizoma et Radix), a common Chinese herbal medicine, blocked the entry of wild-type and the omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 pseudotyped virus into fibroblasts or zebrafish larvae, with IC₅₀ values ranging from 0.015 to 0.04 mg/mL. The extracts were shown to inhibit various aspects of the pseudovirus entry, including the interaction between the spike protein (S-protein) and the angiotensin-converting enzyme II (ACE2) receptor, and the 3CL protease activity. Out of the chemical compounds tested in this report, gallic acid, a phytochemical in P. cuspidatum, was shown to have a significant anti-viral effect. Therefore, this might be responsible, at least in part, for the anti-viral efficacy of the herbal extract. Together, our data suggest that the extracts of P. cuspidatum inhibit the entry of wild-type and the omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2, and so they could be considered as potent treatments against COVID-19.     

液相色谱法测定酱油中的乙酰丙酸

建立了高效液相色谱测定配制酱油中乙酰丙酸的方法,并测定了市售30个酱油中的乙酰丙酸含量。确定了酱油样品的最佳前处理方法,有效去除了酱油中的大量干扰成分。采用DIAMONSIL C18柱分离,以0．1％磷酸溶液为流动相。用紫外检测器在268nm波长下检测,分离效果良好,结果准确。采用外标法定量,乙酰丙酸浓度与其峰面积在一定范围内有良好的线性关系,相关系数为0．9999。平均加标回收率为95．6％～98．0％（相对标准偏差为1．3％～5．4％）,检出限为0．0015mg／mL。在市售酱油中检出了乙酰丙酸,表明有部分厂家在酿造酱油中添加了酸水解植物蛋白液。     

Repurposing of intestinal defensins as multi-target,dual-function amyloid inhibitors via cross-seeding

Amyloid formation and microbial infection are the two common pathological causes of neurogenerative diseases, including Alzheimer''s disease (AD), type II diabetes (T2D), and medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). While significant efforts have been made to develop different prevention strategies and preclinical hits for these diseases, conventional design strategies of amyloid inhibitors are mostly limited to either a single prevention mechanism (amyloid cascade vs. microbial infection) or a single amyloid protein (Aβ, hIAPP, or hCT), which has prevented the launch of any successful drug on the market. Here, we propose and demonstrate a new “anti-amyloid and anti-bacteria” strategy to repurpose two intestinal defensins, human α-defensin 6 (HD-6) and human β-defensin 1 (HBD-1), as multiple-target, dual-function, amyloid inhibitors. Both HD-6 and HBD-1 can cross-seed with three amyloid peptides, Aβ (associated with AD), hIAPP (associated with T2D), and hCT (associated with MTC), to prevent their aggregation towards amyloid fibrils from monomers and oligomers, rescue SH-SY5Y and RIN-m5F cells from amyloid-induced cytotoxicity, and retain their original antimicrobial activity against four common bacterial strains at sub-stoichiometric concentrations. Such sequence-independent anti-amyloid and anti-bacterial functions of intestinal defensins mainly stem from their cross-interactions with amyloid proteins through amyloid-like mimicry of β-sheet associations. In a broader view, this work provides a new out-of-the-box thinking to search and repurpose a huge source of antimicrobial peptides as amyloid inhibitors, allowing the blocking of the two interlinked pathological pathways and bidirectional communication between the central nervous system and intestines via the gut–brain axis associated with neurodegenerative diseases.
