Real-Time analysis of exosome secretion of single cells with single molecule imaging

The exosome-mediated response can promote or restrain the diseases by regulating the intracellular pathways, making the exosome become an effective marker for diagnosis and therapeutic control at the single-cell level. However, real-time analysis is hard to be achieved with traditional approaches because the exosomes usually need to be enriched by ultracentrifugation for a measurable signal-to-noise ratio. Recently developed label-free single-molecule imaging approaches may become an real-time quantitative tool for the analysis of single exosomes and related secretion behaviors of single living cells owing to their extreme sensitivity.

煤泥燃烧过程中汞的迁移行为研究

采用在线汞测试方法，以山西省低热值煤电厂中掺烧的煤泥为研究对象，利用实验室小型流化床，研究煤泥中汞的热转化行为差异及共性特征、影响煤泥热转化过程中汞迁移的关键因素，以揭示煤泥热转化过程中汞污染物的迁移机理。结果表明，同一种煤泥，相同气氛，800、900、1 000 ℃下，燃烧温度对煤泥中的汞的释放比例没有变化；相同温度，汞的释放比例为氮气>空气>氧气。3种煤泥在相同燃烧条件下，汞的释放特征相似，元素汞的释放量和释放比例差异较大。释放量与煤泥中的汞含量正相关，释放比例与煤泥中汞的赋存形态有一定关系。

Experimental and numerical study on tube-side flow and heat transfer characteristics of superheated vapor flow in catalyst-filled LH2 spiral wound heat exchanger

High energy consumption is considered to be one of the most persistent problems in liquid hydrogen (LH₂) plants. The combination of heat exchanger and ortho-para (O–P) hydrogen conversion has attracted considerable attention as a cutting-edge technology to reduce energy consumption. The flow and heat transfer characteristics of O–P hydrogen conversion catalyst-filled spiral wound heat exchanger (SWHE) were investigated in this study in two steps. In the first step, pressure-drop experiments were performed in a tube filled with porous media. The results indicated that the pressure drop was overestimated when using Ergun's equation. Therefore, a new empirical pressure-drop correlation for a channel filled with O–P catalyst was formulated. Subsequently, a novel heat transfer model was established based on this correlation for further numerical simulations. The distributions of the temperature, pressure, and para hydrogen content in a catalyst-filled tube were determined. In addition, the influence of the flow rate on the heat exchange coefficient and outlet para hydrogen was clarified; it was found that, with an increase in the flow rate, the heat exchange coefficient increased, whereas the outlet para hydrogen content decreased. At a flow rate of 0.5 m³/h, the para hydrogen content increased by 44% after hydrogen flowed through the channel filled with the O–P catalyst. Furthermore, a prediction model for the para hydrogen content with a flow rate range of 0–1.5 m³/h was derived. This study provides promising theoretical evidence for the engineering application of SWHEs filled with O–P catalysts in large-scale hydrogen liquefaction units.     

猪胴体冷却降温特性及耗能分析

猪肉是我国消耗量最大的肉类品，尤其是冷鲜猪肉更受人们青睐。猪胴体冷却保鲜加工工艺既要满足优质猪肉的成熟条件，又要保证猪肉的安全卫生。猪胴体冷却温度和降温速度对保证加工工艺合理性和降低耗能都至关重要。在实测数据基础上经过判断、分析提出，在常规0～4 ℃冷却前先在-10～-5 ℃低温快速冷却猪胴体1 h从而更好地保证猪胴体的冷却效果。实验发现：猪胴体开始冷却时，内部温度先有2～4 ℃的升温，然后才会降温，因此需对热负荷计算进行修正；根据两段冷却过程中猪胴体的冷却降温特点，提出了对应的冷量要求，为配备冷却装置提供了依据。     

Lactobacillus reuteri-fortified camel milk infant formula: Effects of encapsulation,in vitro digestion,and storage conditions on probiotic cell viability and physicochemical characteristics of infant formula

Lactobacillus reuteri fortified camel milk infant formula (CMIF) was produced. The effect of encapsulation in different matrices (sodium alginate and galacto-oligosaccharides) via spray drying, simulated infant gastrointestinal digestion (SIGID), and storage conditions (temperature and humidity) on the viability of L. reuteri in CMIF and the physicochemical properties of CMIF were evaluated. Compared with free cells, probiotic cell viability was significantly enhanced against SIGID conditions upon encapsulation. However, L. reuteri viability in CMIF decreased after 60 d of storage, predominantly at higher storage humidity and temperature levels. At the end of the storage period, significant changes in the color values were observed in all CMIF, with a reduction in their greenness, an increase in yellowness, and a wide variation in their whiteness. Moreover, pH values and caking behavior of all CMIF stored at higher temperature (40°C) and humidity [water activity (a_w) = 0.52] levels were found to be significantly higher than the samples stored under other conditions. Over 30 d of storage at lower humidity conditions (a_w = 0.11 and 0.33) and room temperature (25°C), no significant increase in CMIF lipid oxidation rates was noted. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis showed that, compared with the other storage conditions, CMIF experienced fewer changes in functional groups when stored at a_w = 0.11. Microscopic images showed typical morphological characteristics of milk powder, with round to spherical-shaped particles. Overall, camel milk fortified with encapsulated L. reuteri can be suggested as a promising alternative in infant formula industries, potentially able to maintain its physicochemical characteristics as well as viability of probiotic cells when stored at low humidity levels (a_w = 0.11) and temperature (25°C), over 60 d of storage.     

Experimental evaluation of the luminescence performance of fired clay brick coated with SrAl2O4:Eu/Dy phosphor

This study evaluates the luminescence performance of fired clay bricks coated with SrAl₂O₄:Eu/Dy phosphor. To do so, SrAl₂O₄:Eu/Dy phosphor was first produced using the traditional solid-state reaction synthesis technique. The prepared phosphor was then used for coating fired clay bricks to analyze the luminescence performance via spectral analysis, decay characteristics, and microstructure of the bricks. The results reveal that excitation and emission spectra of the phosphor coated bricks range from 200 to 480 nm and 455 to 650 nm, respectively, suggesting that the phosphor coated bricks have the capacity of absorbing light with a wide range of wavelengths. The peak wavelength projected at 511 nm in the emission spectrum is achieved, which indicates 4f⁶5 d¹-4f⁷ transition of Europium (Eu²⁺). The repeated excitation and deexcitation of Eu²⁺ by using hole traps and trap levels offered by Dysprosium (Dy³⁺), exist between the ground and the excited state of Eu²⁺ leads to luminescent phenomenon. Moreover, the decay characteristics has revealed that phosphor coated bricks can emit light for a considerable amount of time (>8.5 min) upon the removal of the excitation source. The results reveal that phosphor coated bricks has the potential of increasing energy efficiency of residential and commercial buildings.     

Oxidative characteristics and gel properties of porcine myofibrillar proteins affected by l-lysine and l-histidine in a dose-dependent manner at a low and high salt concentration

This study investigated the effects of l -lysine (Lys) and l -histidine (His) on the oxidative characteristics and gel properties of porcine myofibrillar proteins (MP). Results showed that Lys and His had a strong ferrous ion-chelating ability and hydroxyl radical-scavenging activity. Moreover, Lys and His inhibited the protein carbonyl formation and MP aggregation at 0.2 M and 0.6 M NaCl, respectively, in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, 2 and 4 mg mL⁻¹ Lys and His decreased the oxidation-induced loss of the tertiary structure of MP accompanied by the lower surface hydrophobicity. The water-holding capacity and gel strength of MP gels increased with increasing Lys and His concentrations due to more regular and lamellar structures with smaller and homogeneous pores at 0.6 M NaCl and more orderly crosslinking via fibrous filament at 0.2 M NaCl. In summary, Lys and His chelated the ferrous ions and scavenged hydroxyl radicals, decreased the oxidation-induced physicochemical changes, thus preventing oxidative damage during the formation of a three-dimensional gel network, which resulted in better gel quality.
