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.     

Decoration of disclinations by solidification-induced band texture and focal-conic texture for a low-molar-mass liquid crystal

Two decoration techniques, solidification-induced band texture decora tion and focal-conictexture decoration, have been established to exhibit the director field of disclinations in a low-molar-mass methacrylate liquid crystal. The disclinations with strength s = 1/2 and s = ±1 are observed by the two decor ation methods. For the solidification-induced band texture decoration, the molecular orientation is perpendicular to the direction of the band. While for focal- conictexture decoration, it has been proved by the results of IR dichroism that the direction of the director is parallel to the direction of the focal-conic. Therefore, the sketch map of the molecular director filed can be mapped according to the morphological pattern of the solidification-induced band textureor focal-conic texture.

论峡江地区“烧龙”与“烧畬”的区别和联系

唐宋时期峡江地区“击鼓焚山”的民俗活动是远古时代尚巫之风的残存,其目的是为烧龙祈雨以禳除旱灾;而“烧畬下种”则是自远古“刀耕火种”传承下来的一门农耕技术,但由于“占卜伺雨”的仪式亦使它带上了一些巫风色彩。二者既有明显的区别又有一定的联系。     

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…

Surface morphologies of anthracene single crystals grown from vapor phase

The morphologies and lattice structures of anthracene single crystals grown from the vapor phase were investigated using optical microscopy, phase contrast microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray diffraction analysis. Common morphologies with hexagonal large planes were observed irrespective of crystal size. The observation of certain surface morphologies with a phase contrast microscopy revealed that the spiral steps originated from screw dislocations present on the (0 0 1) planes. Moreover, the center and edge of the (0 0 1) planes had large curvatures, similar to hills. Resultantly, quarter-monolayer (ML) steps were observed on the large and flat planes between both hills.
