Mixed transition metal oxides (MTMOs) have received intensive attention as promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). In this work, we demonstrate a facile one-step water-bath method for the preparation of graphene oxide (GO) decorated Fe2(MoO4)3 (FMO) microflower composite (FMO/GO), in which the FMO is constructed by numerous nanosheets. The resulting FMO/GO exhibits excellent electrochemical performances in both LIBs and SIBs. As the anode material for LIBs, the FMO/GO delivers a high capacity of 1,220 mAh·g–1 at 200 mA·g–1 after 50 cycles and a capacity of 685 mAh·g–1 at a high current density of 10 A·g–1. As the anode material for SIBs, the FMO/GO shows an initial discharge capacity of 571 mAh·g–1 at 100 mA·g–1, maintaining a discharge capacity of 307 mAh·g–1 after 100 cycles. The promising performance is attributed to the good electrical transport from the intimate contact between FMO and graphene oxide. This work indicates that the FMO/GO composite is a promising anode for high-performance lithium and sodium storage.
The self-assembly of peptidyl virus-like nanovesicles (pVLNs) composed of highly ordered peptide bilayer membranes that encapsulate the small interfering RNA (siRNA) is reported. The targeting and enzyme-responsive sequences on the bilayer's surface allow the pVLNs to enter cancer cells with high efficiency and control the release of genetic drugs in response to the subcellular environment. By transforming its structure in response to the highly expressed enzyme matrix metalloproteinase 7 (MMP-7) in cancer cells, it helps the siRNA escape from the lysosomes, resulting in a final silencing efficiency of 92%. Moreover, the pVLNs can serve as reconfigurable “Trojan horse” by transforming into membranes triggered by the MMP-7 and disrupting the cytoplasmic structure, thereby achieving synergistic anticancer effects and 96% cancer cell mortality with little damage to normal cells. The pVLNs benefit from their biocompatibility, targeting, and enzyme responsiveness, making them a promising platform for gene therapy and anticancer therapy. 相似文献
Purpose: Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors (DI) ameliorates dystrophic muscle regeneration restoring muscular strength in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The further development of these compounds as drugs for DMD treatment is currently hampered by the lack of knowledge about DIs effect in large dystrophic animal models and that of suitable biomarkers to monitor their efficacy. Experimental design: In this study we applied proteomic analysis to identify differentially expressed proteins present in plasma samples from mdx mice treated with the Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) and relative normal controls (WT). Results: Several differentially expressed proteins were identified between untreated wild type and mdx mice. Among these, fibrinogen, epidermal growth factor 2 receptor, major urinary protein and glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPX3) were constitutively up‐regulated in mdx, while complement C3, complement C6, gelsolin, leukaemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFr), and alpha 2 macroglobulin were down‐regulated compared to WT mice. SAHA determined the normalization of LIFr and GPX3 protein level while apoliprotein E was de novo up‐regulated in comparison to vehicle‐treated mdx mice. Conclusions and clinical relevance: Collectively, these data unravel potential serological disease biomarkers of mdx that could be useful to monitor muscular dystrophy response to DI treatment. 相似文献
The static and impact fracture toughnesses of a polybutylene terephthalate/polycarbonate/impact modifier (PBT/PC/IM) blend
were studied at different temperatures. The static fracture toughness of the blend was evaluated via the specific fracture
work concept and the J-integral analysis. A comparison of these two analytical methods showed that the specific essential fracture work, We, was equivalent to the
obtained by the ASTM E813-81 procedure, representing the crack initiation resistance of the material. The discrepancy between
We and
of ASTM E813-89 was caused by the extra energy component in
consumed by a 0.2 mm crack growth. Impact fracture toughness was also analysed using the specific essential fracture work
approach. When the fracture was elastic, We was equivalent to the critical potential energy release rate, GIC, obtained via LEFM analysis. Temperature and strain-rate effects on the fracture toughness were also studied. The increase
in impact toughness with temperature was attributed to two different toughening mechanisms, namely, the relaxation processes
of the rubbery particles and the parent polymers in a relatively low-temperature range and thermal blunting of the crack tip
at higher temperatures. The enhancement in static fracture toughness at temperatures below — 60 °C was thought to be caused
by plastic crack-tip blunting, but the monotonic reduction in yield stress was largely responsible for the toughness decreasing
with higher temperatures. The temperature-dependent fracture toughness data obtained in static tests could be horizontally
shifted to match roughly the data for the impact tests, indicating the existence of a time-temperature equivalence relationship. 相似文献
