RESUMO

With the rapid growth of global energy consumption, the environment will further deteriorate, and the competition among countries to reduce emissions will become more intense. Photovoltaic power generation using solar energy as a clean energy source is of strategic importance for achieving a carbon-neutral planet. Therein, centralized photovoltaic power stations in terrestrial ecosystems cover the earth's surface, which leads to changes in land use and has a significant effect on the surface energy balance and precipitation regimes, altering soil nutrient cycling and plant productivity, and ultimately significantly affects ecosystem functions and services. By synthesizing relevant studies on this topic over the past 20 years, we summarized the effects of photovoltaic power station construction on microclimate, soil, flora and fauna, and potential changes in terrestrial ecosystem functions. Overall, the photovoltaic power stations improved the quality of the soil condition, especially in harsh environments, and increased the vegetation coverage. In addition, photovoltaic power stations could affect ecosystem functions including plant productivity, soil erosion resistance, and soil carbon sequestration by regulating microclimatic factors such as solar radiation intensity, air temperature and humidity, wind speed, and wind direction. Although numerous studies have anticipated the potential effect of photovoltaic power stations on ecosystem structure and functions, empirical evidence remains scarce. Therefore, more studies focusing on the regional variability of the ecological impacts of photovoltaic power stations and the potential pathways of photovoltaic power stations affecting ecosystem functions are needed in the future. Improving the understanding of the ecological effects of photovoltaic power stations may help to provide a basis for ecological protection and restoration.

RESUMO

The global warming and other environmental problems caused by SF6 emissions can be reduced due to the widespread use of eco-friendly insulating gas, perfluoropentanone (C5F10O). However, there is an exposure risk to populations in areas near C5F10O equipment, so it is important to clarify its biosafety and pathogenesis before large-scale application. In this paper, histopathology, transcriptomics, 4D-DIA proteomics, and LC-MS metabolomics of rats exposed to 2000 ppm and 6000 ppm C5F10O are analyzed to reveal the mechanisms of toxicity and health risks. Histopathological shows that inflammatory cell infiltration, epithelial cell hyperplasia, and alveolar atrophy accompanied by alveolar wall thickening are present in both low-dose and high-dose groups. Analysis of transcriptomic and 4D-DIA proteomic show that Cell cycle and DNA replication can be activated by both 2000 ppm and 6000 ppm C5F10O to induce cell proliferation. In addition, it also leads to the activation of pathways such as Antigen processing and presentation, Cell adhesion molecules and Complement and coagulation cascades, T cell receptor signal path, Th1 and T cell receptor signal path, Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation, complement and coagulation cascades. Finally, LC-MS metabolomics analysis confirms that the metabolic pathways associated with glycerophospholipids, arachidonic acid, and linoleic acid are disrupted and become more severe with increasing doses. The mechanism of lung toxicity caused by C5F10O is systematically expounded based on the multi-omics analysis and provided biosafety references for further promotion and application of C5F10O.

RESUMO

A new high-strength, thermally stable, and degradable covalent organic framework (COF) -modified polylactic acid fiber (PLA) material (COF-PLA) was constructed for reinforcing the PLA material, to be used to produce environmentally friendly sand barriers. The micrographs, structure, thermal stability, and photodegradation products of COF-PLA were investigated. The results indicated that the COF material was compatible with PLA, and that the COF-PLA material took on the merits of the COF, so that it had a more regular arrangement, smoother surface, and smaller size, and was more thermostable than PLA alone. The successful incorporation of the COF improved the thermal stability of PLA. The initial pyrolysis temperature of the COF-PLA material is 313.7 °C, higher than that of the PLA material at 297.5 °C. The photodegradation products of COF-PLA and PLA indicated that the COF and PLA materials were mixed in a complex manner. After photodegradation, the COF-PLA material can produce melamine molecules that can neutralize the lactic acid and CO2 produced by PLA, which can maintain the acid-base balance in sandy soil and is beneficial to plant growth. Therefore, COF-PLA degradation does not cause pollution, making it a promising sand-control material.

RESUMO

Fibrous sheath CABYR binding protein (FSCB) is regulated by protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation in the spermatozoa capacitation. Recently, we showed that FSCB phosphorylation activated spermatozoa motility. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms have not been completely elucidated. Here, we showed that FSCB phosphorylation inhibited SUMOylation of two crucial proteins ROPN1/ROPN1L that are associated with PKA/A kinase activity and spermatozoa motility. Suppression of SUMOylation of ROPN1/ROPN1L mimicked the effects of FSCB phosphorylation on spermatozoa motility. Immunoprecipitation assay showed that phosphorylated FSCB had a significantly higher affinity to ROPN1/ROPN1L than non-phosphorylated FSCB. Together, our data suggest that FSCB phosphorylation may regulate mouse spermatozoa capacitation through suppressing SUMOylation of ROPN1/ROPN1L, which sheds new light on creating a therapeutic strategy targeting FSCB phosphorylation in the study of infertility.

RESUMO

The airflow field around wind fences with different porosities, which are important in determining the efficiency of fences as a windbreak, is typically studied via scaled wind tunnel experiments and numerical simulations. However, the scale problem in wind tunnels or numerical models is rarely researched. In this study, we perform a numerical comparison between a scaled wind-fence experimental model and an actual-sized fence via computational fluid dynamics simulations. The results show that although the general field pattern can be captured in a reduced-scale wind tunnel or numerical model, several flow characteristics near obstacles are not proportional to the size of the model and thus cannot be extrapolated directly. For example, the small vortex behind a low-porosity fence with a scale of 1:50 is approximately 4 times larger than that behind a full-scale fence.

RESUMO

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) in most human tumors are commonly identified and enriched using similar strategies for identifying normal stem cells, including flow cytometry assays for side population, high aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity, and CD133 positivity. Thus, development of a method for isolating a specific cancer using cancer-specific characteristic appears to be potentially important. Here, we reported extremely high Lgr5 levels in the specimen from skin squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in patients. Using SCC cell line A431, we detected high Lgr5 and CD133 levels in ALDH-high or side population from these cancer cells. To figure out whether Lgr5 is a marker of CSCs in SCC, we transfected A431 cells with a Lgr5-creERT-2A-DTR/Cag-Loxp-GFP-STOP-Loxp-RFP plasmid and purified transfected cells (tA431) based on GFP by flow cytometry. 4-Hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT) was given to label Lgr5-positive cells with RFP, for comparison to GFP-positive Lgr5-negative cells. Lgr5-positive cells grew significantly faster than Lgr5-negative cells, and the fold increase in growth of Lgr5-positive vs Lgr5-negative cells is significantly higher than SP vs non-SP, or ALDH-high vs ALDH-low, or CD133-positive vs CD133-negative cells. Moreover, in Lgr5-negative population, Lgr5-positive re-appeared in culture with time, suggesting that Lgr5-positive cells can be regenerated from Lgr5-negative cells. Furthermore, the growth of tA431 cells significantly decreased upon a single dose of diphtheria toxin (DT)/4-OHT to eliminate Lgr5-positive cell lineage, while multiple doses of DT/4-OHT nearly completely inhibited tA431 cell growth. Taken together, our data provide compelling data to demonstrate that Lgr5-positive cells are CSCs in skin SCC.

RESUMO

The purposes f this study were to (i) explore the possibility of splitting the selected forearm muscles into separate compartments in human subjects; (ii) quantify the architectural properties of each neuromuscular compartment; and (iii) discuss the implication of these properties in split tendon transfer procedures. Twenty upper limbs from 10 fresh human cadavers were used in this study. Ten limbs of five cadavers were used for intramuscular nerve study by modified Sihler's staining technique, which confirmed the neuromuscular compartments. The other 10 limbs were included for architectural analysis of neuromuscular compartments. The architectural features of the compartments including muscle weight, muscle length, fiber length, pennation angle, and sarcomere length were determined. Physiological cross-sectional area and fiber length/muscle length ratio were calculated. Five of the selected forearm muscles were ideal candidates for splitting, including flexor carpi ulnaris, flexor carpi radials, extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor carpi ulnaris and pronator teres. The humeral head of pronator teres contained the longest fiber length (6.23 ± 0.31 cm), and the radial compartment of extensor carpi ulnaris contained the shortest (2.90 ± 0.28 cm). The ulnar compartment of flexor carpi ulnaris had the largest physiological cross-sectional area (5.17 ± 0.59 cm(2)), and the ulnar head of pronator teres had the smallest (0.67 ± 0.06 cm(2)). Fiber length/muscle length ratios of the neuromuscular compartments were relatively low (average 0.27 ± 0.09, range 0.18-0.39) except for the ulnar head of pronator teres, which had the highest one (0.72 ± 0.05). Using modified Sihler's technique, this research demonstrated that each compartment of these selected forearm muscles has its own neurovascular supply after being split along its central tendon. Data of the architectural properties of each neuromuscular compartment provide insight into the 'design' of their functional capability. In addition to improving our understanding of muscle anatomy and function, elucidation of forearm neuromuscular compartments architecture may ultimately provide information useful for selection of muscle subdivisions used in tendon transfer.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To explore the correction for shortened and broaden prolabium deformity following bilateral cleft lip repair. METHODS: We designed the upper lip double flag-shaped flaps. The quadrilateral original surgical scar (flap flag pole part) was resected and the incision was made along the direction of nasolabial groove at the nostrils bottom to form two flag-shaped flaps (the section of the flag face). Lip tubercle were tracted and blunt dissection of upper philtrum were performed to form a wound, 4-6 mm in width. The flag-shaped flaps on both sides were rotated to the central, in order to form a new nasal base and new prolabium, followed by V-Y or Z plasty procedure to correct the defect of tubercle and vermilion. RESULTS: 10 cases were enrolled for the clinical application from January 2008 to December 2012. The height of the prolabium was lengthened by 4-6 mm after operation, which fundamentally corrected shortened and broaden prolabium deformity after bilateral cleft lip operation. The procedure can also correct the depression or defect of tubercle, too wide philtrum, philtrum column scar and the deformity of vermilion border continuity. The patients were followed up for a period of 3 months to 3 years with satisfactory results. CONCLUSION: Double flag-shaped flaps of the upper lip at the nostrils bottom is a simple and good surgery method to correct the shortened and broaden prolabium deformity following bilateral cleft lip repair.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The arrangement and relationship of intramuscular nerves and blood vessels are critical to clinical physicians, but the majority of previous studies could not reflect them precisely. METHODS: In method 1, after rabbits were perfused with barium sulfate liquid silica gel, the specimen muscle was isolated and subjected to Sihler staining. The specimen muscles then underwent optical photography and molybdenum target radiography. The obtained photograph and the radiograph were then overlapped together to draw a map of intramuscular nerves and blood vessels. In method 2, after rabbits and child cadavers were perfused with semitransparent red liquid silica gel, the specimen muscle was isolated and subjected to Sihler staining. Finally, the specimen muscles were placed on an x-ray film viewer for photography. RESULTS: Both methods had ideal outcomes. Through digital subtraction angiography, a distribution map of intramuscular nerves and blood vessels could be obtained in method 1, whereas in the photographs taken through method 2, the intramuscular nerves were counterstained with dark blue and the intramuscular blood vessels were stained red, which was more precise and direct. In method 2, specimens could be made into stereoscopic models. CONCLUSIONS: These two methods that can simultaneously display intramuscular nerves and blood vessels have been significantly improved and lead to a good result. They also have their own advantages. When a muscle studied is small or flat, method 2 is recommended because of its conciseness and convenience. If the muscle is large, method 1 is applicable.

RESUMO

The nerve map of the human face, although important in guiding facial surgery, has not been well defined. In this study we applied a modified Sihler's technique to profile intramuscular innervation of human mimetic muscles. Six fresh cadaveric heads were used. The intramuscular distribution of the facial nerve in human mimetic muscles was visualized using a modified Sihler's technique. Modified Sihler's staining revealed a three-dimensional picture of the clearly purple-black intramuscular facial and sensory nerves. The nerve branching patterns of both facial halves were asymmetrical. None of the fine nerve branches crossed over the midline. The facial nerve branches divided into secondary rami and formed a mesh-like plexus before entering the target muscles at a right angle. The modified Sihler's technique can profile intramuscular innervation of human mimetic muscles. Our nerve map of the face offers valuable guidance for facial reanimation surgery, facial cosmetic surgery, and parotid surgery.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The concept of muscle subunits has been introduced for limb reconstruction and functional conservation of donor site, yet it requires thorough understanding of neurovascular anatomy of muscles. The present study provides neurovascular details of forearm skeletal muscles. METHODS: Twenty-eight forearms were dissected totally, ten for observing extramuscular nerve distribution, ten for observing intramuscular nerve distribution by modified Sihler's technique, and the other eight for observing intramuscular artery distribution by aqueous barium sulfate infusion. The forearm muscles were classified into three different types according to Lym's classification. Numbers of extramuscular and intramuscular nerves were counted and compared between the types. Intramuscular vascular distribution was also classified into three different types according to Mathes' method. Intramuscular vascular distribution was compared with nerve distribution as well. RESULTS: There were also some variations in the composition of muscular branches. Numbers of intramuscular nerve branches were significantly higher in muscle types IIa and III. Morphology and intramuscular neurovascular distribution of type II muscles are easy to split into two independent parts for functional muscular flap transfer according to morphology and intramuscular neurovascular distribution. CONCLUSIONS: The present study elucidated that flexor carpi ulnaris and radialis, extensor carpi ulnaris, and carpi radialis brevis were suitable for functional muscular transfer from several different insights, but the roles of pronator teres and supinator remained to be controversial. This study might be very helpful to plastic surgeons and anatomists.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic effect and safety of acupuncture at points of The Liver and Gallbladder Meridians for treatment of migraine. METHODS: Multi-central, randomized and controlled trial was used and 253 cases of migraine were divided into an acupuncture group and a western medicine group. The acupuncture group was treated with acupuncture at points of The Liver and Gallbladder Channels with Taichong (LR 3), Yang-lingquan (GB 34), Fengchi (GB 20), Ququan (LR 8) selected as main points, and the western medicine group with oral administration of Flunarizine tablets for 4 therapeutic courses. The total therapeutic effects 3 and 6 months after the treatment, the scores of various symptoms of migraine before and after treatment, and the stability of therapeutic effect in one-year following-up survey were observed in the two groups. RESULTS: After treatment, mean times and duration of the headache attack were significantly improved in the two groups (all P < 0.01) with the acupuncture group better than the western medicine group (P < 0.05). The total effective rates for stopping pain after treatment, 3 months and 6 months after treatment in the acupuncture group were 93.0%, 93.0% and 87.7%, respectively, which were better than 85.6%, 86.5% and 69.2% in the western medication group (all P < 0.01). One year later, the stability of the therapeutic effect in the acupuncture group was better than that in the western medicine group (P < 0.05); the adverse reaction and the compliance in the acupuncture group were significantly superior to those in the western medicine group. CONCLUSION: Acupuncture at points of The Liver and Gallbladder Meridians for treatment of migraine is safe, effective, and with stable long-term therapeutic effect.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To reveal morphologic features and physiological function in compartments of human forearm muscles, and investigate the possibility of transplantation of neuromuscular compartments. METHODS: Sohier's neural staining technique was used to study the nerve branches distribution of forearm skeletal muscles in 5 human cadavers (aging 26-39 years), including flexor carpi radialis, flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU), extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor carpi ulnaris, palmaris longus (PL), flexor pollicis longus, pronator teres (PT). According to Wickiewicz's methods, Ulnar compartment and radial compartment of forearm skeletal muscles above mentioned from 10 human cadavers were used to study the muscle architectural features. RESULTS: Each nerve branches run into the ulnar compartment and radial compartment respectively. There was statistically significant difference between the two physiological cross section areas (PSCA) of each neuromuscular compartment from forearm muscles (P < 0.05). Among them, PSCA of ulnar compartment of FCU was the largest. The PSCA of ulnar compartment of PT was the smallest. There was no statistically difference between the ratio (PSCA/muscle wet weight) of each neuromuscular compartment from forearm muscles (P > 0.05). As the ratio of PSCA to the muscle fiber length, the ulnar compartment of PT and the two compartments of PL had the highest one while the ulnar compartment of FCU had the smallest; and there was no statistically difference among the other neuromuscular compartments (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Each of forearm muscles be divided into ulnar compartment and radial compartment and they have their own nerve supply. And there are significant differences in the physiological function in compartments of forearm muscles, which can be references in muscular compartment transplantation.
