Oxidative Epigallocatechin Gallate Coating on Polymeric Substrates for Bone Tissue Regeneration

Plant derived flavonoids have not been well explored in tissue engineering applications due to difficulties in efficient formulations with biomaterials for controlled presentation. Here, the authors report that surface coating of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on polymeric substrates including poly (L‐lactic acid) (PLLA) nanofibers can be performed via oxidative polymerization of EGCG in the presence of cations, enabling regulation of biological functions of multiple cell types implicated in bone regeneration. EGCG coating on the PLLA nanofiber promotes osteogenic differentiation of adipose‐derived stem cells (ADSCs) and is potent to suppress adipogenesis of ADSCs while significantly reduces osteoclastic maturation of murine macrophages. Moreover, EGCG coating serves as a protective layer for ADSCs against oxidative stress caused by hydrogen peroxide. Finally, the in vivo implantation of EGCG‐coated nanofibers into a mouse calvarial defect model significantly promotes the bone regeneration (61.52 ± 28.10%) as compared to defect (17.48 ± 11.07%). Collectively, the results suggest that EGCG coating is a simple bioinspired surface modification of polymeric biomaterials and importantly can thus serve as a promising interface for tuning activities of multiple cell types associated with bone fracture healing.     

电站锅炉系统性能仿真模型的建立

1引言根据热力学第二定律，燃料中的化学拥将近一半损失在锅炉的燃烧与传热过程中。因此，优化锅炉性能对降低整个火电机组的煤耗率具有明显效果。完整的锅炉系统由磨煤机、送风机、一次风机、弓讯机、炉膛、汽包、过热器、再热器、省煤器、空气预热器等单元组成，这些单元之间的联结错综复杂。本文建立了锅炉系统中通用单元的性能模型，并在此基础上，对锅炉系统的结构特点进行了分析，利用过程系统工程中的序贯模块法建立了整个锅炉系统的性能模型。对单元的划分、回路的切断及断裂流股的收敛与迭代策略提出了自己的观点。最后根据生产厂…

Improved dust capture methods for crushing plant

The use of compressive crushing equipment such as gyratory crushers within minerals processing plants can potentially generate large quantities of dust. Remedies to this problem include the retrofitting of shrouds, enclosures, local exhaust ventilation (LEV) systems and water suppression systems. The single or combined application of these systems must be optimised to ensure they operate efficiently. It is desirable that the future design planning of such facilities include integrated dust suppression and/or removal systems to ensure material delivery rates are maintained and the welfare of the workforce is protected.

Growth kinetics and phenolics production inGlycine Max cell suspension cultures

Glycine max was used as a model plant cell suspension culture to establish relationships among growth kinetics, phenolics production, elicitor action, and peroxidase activity. Timing of elictor addition through monitoring of peroxidase provided an excellent means of optimizing yields of phenolics and reduced the time span during which phenolics were formed, negating the need for a secondary production medium. We have also determined that calcium and other cellular effectors like polyamines and organic osmolytes, when used in conjunction with elicitors, enhance phenolics production. Calcium directly enhanced elicitation, whereas polyamines and other osmolytes such as glycerol and proline extended cell viability. The study also demonstrated potential for enhancing secondary metabolite production by a combination of elicitation, cell viability stabilizers, and by addition of nutrients at the time of elicitation.     

Chromium and yttrium-doped magnesium aluminum oxides prepared from layered double hydroxides

Layered double hydroxides with the hydrotalcite-like structures, containing Mg²⁺ and Al³⁺, doped with Cr³⁺ and Y³⁺, have been prepared by precipitation at constant pH. The weight percentages of Cr³⁺ and Y³⁺ were 1, 2, or 3%, and 0.5 or 1%, respectively. Single phases were obtained in all cases, whose crystallinity decreased as the content in Cr and Y was increased. The solids have been characterised by element chemical analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, thermal analyses (differential, thermogravimetric and programmed reduction), FT-IR and UV–vis spectroscopies; the specific surface areas have been determined from nitrogen adsorption isotherms at −196 °C. Upon calcination at 1200 °C for 5 h in air all solids display a mixed structure (spinel and rock salt for MgO); these solids have also been characterised by these techniques and their chromatic coordinates (CIE – L^*a^*b^*) have been determined. Their pink colour makes these solids suitable for being used as ceramic pigments.
