Simultaneous Imaging of Endogenous Survivin mRNA and On‐Demand Drug Release in Live Cells by Using a Mesoporous Silica Nanoquencher

The design of multifunctional drug delivery systems capable of simultaneous target detection, imaging, and therapeutics in live mammalian cells is critical for biomedical research. In this study, by using mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) chemically modified with a small‐molecule dark quencher, followed by sequential drug encapsulation, MSN capping with a dye‐labeled antisense oligonucleotide, and bioorthogonal surface modification with cell‐penetrating poly(disulfide)s, the authors have successfully developed the first mesoporous silica nanoquencher (qMSN), characterized by high drug‐loading and endocytosis‐independent cell uptake, which is able to quantitatively image endogenous survivin mRNA and release the loaded drug in a manner that depends on the survivin expression level in tumor cells. The authors further show that this novel drug delivery system may be used to minimize potential cytotoxicity encountered by many existing small‐molecule drugs in cancer therapy.     

3D strain mapping in rocks using digital volumetric speckle photography technique

Speckle photography technique is a versatile displacement/deformation mapping technique that can be applied to almost any material. It has its genesis in the laser speckle interferometry technique whereby the natural speckles created by illuminating an optically rough surface using a coherent laser beam are used as displacement gauging elements. It evolves into the white light speckle photography technique whereby a random pattern of any type is used as a displacement measurement transducer. With the advent of digital cameras and ubiquitous usage of computers, the digital version of the technique is developed. Up to now, the technique is essentially limited to 2D applications. Recently, we extended the technique into the 3D domain by using the volumetric imaging capabilities of CT or MRI. In this paper, we apply this technique to measuring the internal deformation of rocks. It so happens that certain rocks have natural density variation at various places such that when imaged by CT these impurities can be treated as 3D speckles. The elements of volumetric speckle photography technique are as follows. A reference volumetric image of the rock is recorded by a micro-CT scan and stored as a reference. Under load, the deformed CT image of the rock is also recorded. Both volume images are divided into subsets of certain voxel arrays. Each corresponding pair of the subsets is “compared” via a two-step 3D Fourier transform analysis. The result is a 3D map of displacement vectors representing the collective displacement experienced by all the speckles within the subset of voxels. The strain distribution of the entire rock specimen can then be calculated using appropriate displacement strain relations. The application of this technique to strain mapping of red sandstone and argillite rocks is presented.

Research Advances in Microfiber Humidity Sensors

An overview of the numerous latest research in microfiber humidity sensors is carried out with a specific focus on measurement methods, humidity sensitive materials, probe structures, and sensing properties of different sensors. First, five mainstream measurement structures, including taper, fiber grating, coupler, resonator, and interferometer are reviewed. It is concluded that these measurement structures sense the physicochemical property variations of microfibers or sensitive films and exhibit the change of optical signal when exposed to environment. Second, the basic preparation methods, humidity‐sensing properties, and their advantages and disadvantages as humidity sensitive material are addressed. Then, the advantages and disadvantages of all the above sensing structures are also discussed and compared. Finally, the main existing problems and potential solutions of microfiber humidity sensors are pointed out.
