Steep pulsed electric fields modulate cell apoptosis through the change of intracellular calcium concentration

A steep electric pulsed field with low intensity (150–250 V/cm) and relative long time (10 min) was applied to adherent liver cancer cell line SMMC-7721 and the liver cell line HL-7702. Results showed that the electric field with intensity of 200 and 250 V/cm could trigger cell apoptosis, whereas the SMMC-7721 cell was more sensitive to the electric stimulation than the HL-7702 cell. Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope (LSCM) was used to measuring the real-time change of cytosolic free Ca²⁺ concentration. When cells were exposed electric pulses with 100 V/cm intensity for 10 min, there was no significant change of intracellular calcium concentration. With the intensity increased to 200 and 250 V/cm, intracellular calcium concentration decreased significantly. Results demonstrated the relationship between the apoptosis and change of intracellular calcium concentration. And the steep electric pulsed field can be used to the cancer therapy.     

Two new triterpenoid glycosides isolated from Aesculus assamica GRIFF

Phytochemical study of the ethanol extract of the seeds of Aesculus assamica led to the isolation of two new triterpenoid saponins. The structure of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectral data to be 28-O-acetyl-21-O-(4-O-angeloyl)-6-deoxy-beta-glucopyranosyl-3-O-[beta-glucopyranosyl(1-2)-O-[beta-glucopyranosyl(1-4)]-beta-glucuronopyranosyl]protoaescigenin (1), and 21-O-(4-O-angeloyl)-6-deoxy-beta-glucopyranosyl-3-O-[beta-glucopyranosyl(1-2)-O-[beta-glucopyranosyl(1-4)]-beta-glucuronopyranosyl]protoaescigenin (2). Their in vitro bioactivity against plant pathogenic fungus Pyricularia oryzae and cytotoxicity against K562 and HCT-15 cell lines were evaluated.

Completely prime L-filters,irreducible L-filters and sobriety

In this paper, for a frame L, we characterize modified sobriety in stratified L-topological spaces and strong L-topological spaces internally using certain classes of stratified L-filters. While the first characterization using completely prime L-filters is trivial and applies to all stratified L-topological spaces, the other one using irreducible L-filters generalizes an approach of R.E. Ho?mann to the lattice-valued case but is restricted to either the case that the lattice is a complete Boolean algebra or to the case of completely distributive lattices and strong L-topological spaces.     

Pattern-dependent tunable adhesion of superhydrophobic MnO2 nanostructured film

Tuning the adhesive force on a superhydrophobic MnO(2) nanostructured film was achieved by fabricating different patterns including meshlike, ball cactus-like, and tilted nanorod structures. The marvelous modulation range of the adhesive forces from 130 to nearly 0 μN endows these superhydrophobic surfaces with extraordinarily different dynamic properties of water droplets. This pattern-dependent adhesive property is attributed to the kinetic barrier difference resulting from the different continuity of the three-interface contact line. This finding will provide the general strategies for the adhesion adjustment on superhydrophobic surfaces.     

Ordered Solid‐State Microstructures of Conjugated Polymers Arising from Solution‐State Aggregation

Controlling the solution‐state aggregation of conjugated polymers for producing specific microstructures remains challenging. Herein, a practical approach is developed to finely tune the solid‐state microstructures through temperature‐controlled solution‐state aggregation and polymer crystallization. High temperature generates significant conformation fluctuation of conjugated backbones in solution, which facilitates the polymer crystallization from solvated aggregates to orderly packed structures. The polymer films deposited at high temperatures exhibit less structural disorders and higher electron mobilities (up to two orders of magnitude) in field‐effect transistors, compared to those deposited at low temperatures. This work provides an effective strategy to tune the solution‐state aggregation to reveal the relationship between solution‐state aggregation and solid‐state microstructures of conjugated polymers.     

Strong Convergence of an Iterative Method with Perturbed Mappings for Nonexpansive and Accretive Operators

A new iterative method for finding a zero of m-accretive operators is proposed. This method, involving a so-called perturbed mapping, provides a way to construct sunny nonexpansive retractions. Several strong convergence theorems for this method are established in a Banach space that is either uniformly smooth or reflexive with a weakly continuous duality map.     

高效前缀约简的三维Hilbert空间填充曲线编解码算法

3维Hilbert空间填充曲线(3D HSFC)的编码和解码效率对空间查询处理、图像处理等领域的应用举足轻重。现有的3维编解码算法独立编解码每一个点,忽略了Hilbert曲线的局部保持特性。为了提高编解码效率,该文设计了高效的3D状态视图,并提出一种新的前缀约简的3D HSFC编码算法(PR-3HE)和前缀约简3D HSFC解码算法(PR-3HD),这两个算法通过公共前缀的定义和识别、公共前缀约简及多种优化技术来最小化需要编码的阶数,从而提高3D HSFC的编解码效率。理论上证明：当编码或解码一个$k$阶的窗体(窗体内总共含有${2^k} \times {2^k} \times {2^k}$个点)时,PR-3HE平均每个点的编码阶数不超过2,PR-3HD平均解码阶数不超过8/7。相对于传统的基于迭代的方法,编解码时间复杂度从$O(k)$降低到了$O(1)$。实验结果表明,该文算法在模拟数据集和真实数据集上的表现显著优于现有算法。
