Femtosecond-laser-induced backward transfer of fluorinated ethylene propylene for fabrication of “lotus effect” surfaces

“Lotus effect” glass surfaces with fluorinated ethylene propylene were successfully fabricated by using a femtosecond laser-induced backward transfer(LIBT) method. By space-selectively modifying both the surface morphology and surface chemistry in a single step, LIBT provides a convenient and flexible route to fabricate superhydrophobic surfaces with ultralow adhesion. A systematic mechanism responsible for the anisotropic wetting behaviors and adhesion modulation was proposed with a combination...     

Facile preparation of silver nanoparticles in bulk silicate glass by high-repetition-rate picosecond laser pulses

One-step precipitation of Ag nanoparticles in Ag+-doped silicate glasses was achieved through a focused picosecond laser with a high repetition rate. Absorption spectra and transmission electron microscopy(TEM) confirmed that metallic Ag nanoparticles were precipitated within glass samples in the laser-written domain. The surface plasmon absorbance fits well with the experimental absorption spectrum. The nonlinear absorption coefficient β is determined to be 2.47 × 10-14 m/W by fitting the open aperture Z-scan curve, which originated from the intraband transition in the s-p Ag band. The formation mechanism of Ag-glass nanocomposites is discussed as well.     

蜜环菌β-1,6-葡聚糖通过调节人源巨噬细胞极化发挥抑制结肠癌作用

以人源巨噬细胞THP-1诱导的M2型巨噬细胞为模型,研究从蜜环菌中分离纯化出的β-1,6-葡聚糖(AAMP-A70)对其极化影响,并分析AAMP-A70通过调节巨噬细胞极化抑制结肠癌细胞DLD-1增殖的作用及机制.采用酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)和实时荧光定量PCR(qRT-PCR)检测AAMP-A70处理前后THP-1诱导的M2型巨噬细胞中M1型和M2型巨噬细胞标志物表达情况;将各处理组的细胞培养液处理DLD-1细胞,通过MTT和结晶紫染色检测DLD-1细胞的增殖情况;并通过Western-blot实验检测DLD-1细胞的凋亡蛋白表达情况.实验结果表明：AAMP-A70可显著下调M2型巨噬细胞标志物VEGF,Arg-1,TGF-β的表达,促进M1型巨噬细胞标志物TNF-α,IL-1β,CCR7的表达;AAMP-A70处理组细胞的培养液可显著抑制DLD-1的增殖,且呈浓度依赖趋势;AAMP-A70处理组的细胞上清液可诱导DLD-1细胞中表达的cleaved-PARP和cleaved-Caspase-3上调.
