Fabrication strategies and application fields of novel 2D Ti3C2Tx (MXene) composite hydrogels: A mini-review

Ti₃C₂T_x (MXene), a new kind of 2D ceramic nanosheets, is receiving more and more attention in the fields of medicine, biology, energy, electronics, etc. However, the preparation and application of MXene in hydrogel is still in its infancy period. Here, we review the latest progress (after 2018) related to MXene hydrogels in time. Aiming at the key issue of the dispersion stability of MXene in hydrogel systems, the preparation strategy, mechanism, advantages and disadvantages of MXene hydrogels are sorted out in detail, and the potential application prospects of MXene composite hydrogel are introduced. Finally, future viewpoints are put forward for the dispersion stability challenges that need solving in the design of MXene hydrogel.     

Simulation Analysis of the Heat Transfer Performance of an N-type Microchannel Heat Exchanger

A microchannel heat exchanger with a triangular wave and symmetrical triangular wave structure was proposed in this paper. In addition, a new N-type microchannel heat exchanger was developed to balance the heat transfer performance and pressure drop. The relationship between different configurations of the N structure of the microchannel and the heat transfer performance was analyzed. The results showed that, at a high inlet flow rate, the symmetrical triangular wave microchannel had the best heat transfer performance, followed by the triangular wave microchannel and the straight channel. At the same flow rate, the degree of disturbance of the fluid was highest in the symmetrical N-structure microchannel, and an excellent heat transfer effect was observed.     

基于局部分型面的电器外壳注塑模具设计

电器外壳制品形状结构复杂,有两处侧凸(孔)较难处理。通过对矩形孔内侧凸的结构分析,在其局部设计了分型面,避免了使用侧向抽芯机构;对侧孔部位设计了斜顶杆侧向抽芯机构,其结构简单、紧凑。模具采用一模二腔、平衡式布局,采用经扁推杆由制品内部进料的潜伏式浇口,S型流道。在NX 8.0中完成了模具结构设计。经实践证明,该模具结构合理,产品合格。     

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。

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.
