A Stimulation Method to Assess the Contractile Status of the Lumbar Extensors in a Seated Posture

The purpose of present study was to develop and evaluate methods to assess stimulation responses of the lumbar extensors, as part of a longer‐term goal of detecting fatigue during prolonged sitting. Three stimulation frequencies (2, 5, and 8 Hz) were tested in separate stages, which include 3 stimulation trains and 4 sampling blocks. Repeated measures analyses of variance were used to determine whether any significant differences in mean stimulation responses occurred with respect to stimulation frequency, sampling block, and stimulation train. Reliability of measured stimulation responses was assessed within and between sampling blocks using intraclass correlation coefficients. Stimulation frequencies significantly affected the stimulation responses and time‐to‐potentiation differed between the 3 stimulation frequencies; it was highest for 2 Hz stimulation. All 3 stimulation frequencies resulted in excellent reliability within and between sampling blocks. Use of the current protocol at 2 Hz is recommended as appropriate to measure the lumbar extensors status during prolonged sitting.     

Lead-free sodium niobate nanowires with strong piezo-catalysis for dye wastewater degradation

In this work, the hydrothermally-synthesized sodium niobate nanowires were used to decompose Rhodamine B dye solution through the piezo-catalytic effect. With the sodium niobate catalyst, a high piezo-catalytic degradation ratio of ～80% was achieved under the excitation of vibration for the Rhodamine B dye solution (～5?mg/l). These active species in the catalytic process, hydroxyl radicals and superoxide radicals with the strong oxidation ability, were also observed, which confirmed the key role of piezoelectric effect for piezo-catalysis. The piezo-catalysis of sodium niobate nanowires provides a high-efficiency and reusable tool in application in depredating the dye wastewater.

植物细胞分裂素ortho-Topolin Riboside对人白血病细胞株THP-1的抗癌活性及机制初探

本研究以人急性髓性白血病细胞株THP-1为研究对象,初步探讨其抗癌活性及作用机制。通过光学显微镜观察N6-2-苄胺羟基腺苷(oTR)作用后THP-1细胞形态学和数目变化;CCK-8法检测oTR对THP-1细胞的增殖抑制作用,并用核苷转运体拮抗剂和腺苷受体拮抗剂预处理细胞检测oTR进入细胞的方式;用流式细胞仪分析oTR作用对THP-1细胞凋亡和分化的影响。结果表明,oTR可显著(P<0.05)抑制THP-1细胞的增殖能力,且呈浓度依赖性;核苷转运体拮抗剂Dipyridamole预处理THP-1细胞后,可明显逆转oTR的增殖抑制作用,而4种腺苷受体拮抗剂(DPCPX、SCH58261、MRS1754和MRA1191)则无显著影响;oTR可诱导处理组细胞亚倍体峰比例显著(P<0.05)高于对照组,且细胞髓系分化标志蛋白CD11b表达明显升高。以上结果表明细胞分裂素oTR通过核苷转运体途径进入THP-1细胞,显著(P<0.05)抑制细胞的增殖,并可诱导THP-1细胞发生凋亡和髓系分化。

NSGA-Ⅱ和NSGA-Ⅲ应用于换热网络多目标优化的对比

针对换热网络多目标优化问题，采用目前应用较广泛的两种多目标遗传算法，即NSGA-Ⅱ和NSGA-Ⅲ，对两种算法的性能进行对比研究。案例研究结果表明，NSGA-Ⅱ算法比NSGA-Ⅲ算法运行效率更高，NSGA-Ⅲ的运行时间是NSGA-Ⅱ的2倍以上；NSGA-Ⅱ算法的应用并不严格地受限于3个目标的最大目标数量，NSGA-Ⅱ在求解大于3个目标的多目标优化问题时也可能具有良好的性能，目标数量并非选择NSGA-Ⅱ和NSGA-Ⅲ算法的严格标准。对10×5换热网络案例进行4个相关目标改造优化时，从换热网络的单一性能指标来看，NSGA-Ⅱ算法更容易获得各目标的极值。从最小年度总费用的评价指标来看，两种算法的最优方案效果相近。对7×3换热网络案例进行6个目标的优化时，NSGA-Ⅲ算法得到各目标的极值较优。从最小年度总费用的评价指标来看，NSGA-Ⅲ算法获得的投资费用和年度总费用更小。对于目标函数数量不超过3个，或者3个以上具有一定相关性的多目标优化问题，推荐优先使用NSGA-Ⅱ算法实现快速寻优；而NSGA-Ⅲ算法由于其基于参考点的选择机制，运行效率较慢，更适合用于收敛困难的高维多目标优化问题。

A Dual Inhibitor of DYRK1A and GSK3β for β-Cell Proliferation: Aminopyrazine Derivative GNF4877

Loss of β-cell mass and function can lead to insufficient insulin levels and ultimately to hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus. The mainstream treatment approach involves regulation of insulin levels; however, approaches intended to increase β-cell mass are less developed. Promoting β-cell proliferation with low-molecular-weight inhibitors of dual-specificity tyrosine-regulated kinase 1A (DYRK1A) offers the potential to treat diabetes with oral therapies by restoring β-cell mass, insulin content and glycemic control. GNF4877, a potent dual inhibitor of DYRK1A and glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) was previously reported to induce primary human β-cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Herein, we describe the lead optimization that lead to the identification of GNF4877 from an aminopyrazine hit identified in a phenotypic high-throughput screening campaign measuring β-cell proliferation.     

Smart firefighting construction in China: Status,problems, and reflections

“Smart firefighting” construction as a part of the “smart city” has been a concern of the public security and fire agencies at all levels. In this study, the status, problems, and reflections of “smart firefighting” construction in China are discussed. A recent survey indicates that China has launched its smart firefighting construction and initially created a new perspective on its regional smart firefighting work based on three main aspects: intelligent disaster perception by Internet of Things (IoT) construction, intelligent disaster prevention by big data construction, and intelligent disaster disposal by emergency rescue platform construction. However, the current smart firefighting construction in China still has some prominent problems such as the data interconnectivity and normalized management of various platforms, the extensibility of smart firefighting platforms, and the intelligent level of smart firefighting researches, which need to be solved urgently. Therefore, we argue that smart firefighting construction in China should establish data interconnectivity, industrial normalized management, 2D/3D geographic information interaction and extension, high-integration fire protection theory, and many other aspects in the near future and truly realize firefighting visualization and efficient data applications for 4D time space. This study could provide valuable reference for smart firefighting and smart city construction.
