The Use of Molecular Dynamics Simulation Method to Quantitatively Evaluate the Affinity between HBV Antigen T Cell Epitope Peptides and HLA-A Molecules

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV), a potentially life-threatening liver disease, makes people vulnerable to serious diseases such as cancer. T lymphocytes play a crucial role in clearing HBV virus, while the pathway depends on the strong binding of T cell epitope peptide and HLA. However, the experimental identification of HLA-restricted HBV antigenic peptides is extremely time-consuming. In this study, we provide a novel prediction strategy based on structure to assess the affinity between the HBV antigenic peptide and HLA molecule. We used residue scanning, peptide docking and molecular dynamics methods to obtain the molecular docking model of HBV peptide and HLA, and then adopted the MM-GBSA method to calculate the binding affinity of the HBV peptide–HLA complex. Overall, we collected 59 structures of HLA-A from Protein Data Bank, and finally obtained 352 numerical affinity results to figure out the optimal bind choice between the HLA-A molecules and 45 HBV T cell epitope peptides. The results were highly consistent with the qualitative affinity level determined by the competitive peptide binding assay, which confirmed that our affinity prediction process based on an HLA structure is accurate and also proved that the homologous modeling strategy for HLA-A molecules in this study was reliable. Hence, our work highlights an effective way by which to predict and screen for HLA-peptide binding that would improve the treatment of HBV infection.

基于电磁感应的钢筋定位及埋深检测新方法研究

钢筋混凝土结构广泛运用于电力基础设施中,对其内部钢筋参数进行检测能够有效判断其结构耐久性,对保障电力系统安全稳定运行有重要的意义。针对传统钢筋混凝土检测方法无法判断混凝土内钢筋走向及埋深测量不够精确的问题,通过对钢筋测量原理分析和霍尔传感器布局设计,提出了一种基于电磁感应的钢筋定位及埋深检测方法。该方法用于判断钢筋的中心位置并测量其偏转角度,同时利用拟合得到的函数反应检测值与钢筋埋深之间的关系。实验表明,埋深检测值受到相邻钢筋的影响而存在较大误差,间距越小误差越大,因此通过BP（Back propagation）神经网络对不同间距下的检测值进行了数据修正,有效地提高了混凝土中钢筋埋深的检测精度。

Coating of TiB2 dispersed Ti50Ni50 superelastic alloy layer onto Ti-6Al-4V alloy by spark and resistance sintering

The spark and resistance sintering (SRS) of a mixture of Ti, Ni, and TiB₂ powders was carried out to form a TiB₂ dispersed TiNi alloy layer onto a Ti-6Al-4V alloy substrate. The strength and delamination resistance of the surface layer were evaluated by three-point bending tests. The results showed that the bending strength of the specimen with the TiNi alloy surface layer without TiB₂ particles sintered at 1273 K was low because the crack initiation occurred at an early stage of loading in a thick interface layer containing brittle Ti-Ti₂Ni eutectic. By decreasing the sintering temperature to 1200 K, the bending strength increased and the crack initiation occurred from the surface because the interface layer was thin and did not contain the brittle Ti-Ti₂Ni eutectic. For the specimens with TiB₂ dispersed TiNi surface layer that was sintered at 1273 K, the bending strength was larger than that of the specimens with TiNi surface layer because the interface layer does not contain the Ti-Ti₂Ni eutectic and compressive residual stress generated in the surface layer during cooling process after SRS suppresses the crack initiation on the surface. The coating of TiB₂ dispersed TiNi alloy onto titanium alloys by SRS provides strong interface to prevent delamination of the surface layer, strong surface due to residual compressive stress, and wear-resistant surface due to the existence of hard TiB₂ particles and superelastic deformation of TiNi matrix.     

Relationship Between Embedding Depth and Residual Stress in the cBN Grain of Monolayer Brazed Abrasive Tools

The relationship between the embedding depth and the residual stress in the brazed cBN grains is analyzed experimentally in order to optimize the embedding depth of grains in the monolayer brazed abrasive tools. It is found that the residual stress is stable without remarkable gradient in the core zones of the brazed grains. However, the stress distribution gradient is rather great in the regions such as both ends of the central axis, the margin region of the central plane in the cBN grains, and the margin region of the section plane between the grains and the filler top. The maximum tensile stress in the margin zone of the brazed cBN grains has the most important influence on the mechanical property of the grains. The embedding depth is accordingly optimized at 30-40% of the total height of cBN grain.
