    Abstract To improve the interfacial bonding of dissimilar composites, the interaction mechanism between the surface state and severe plastic deformation to strengthen the interfacial bonding strength was revealed. In this study, the different surface states of the steel strip were designed by louver blade grinding (LBG) and diamond bowl grinding (DBG), and the cold-rolled composite method was developed to prepare the brass/carbon steel composite strips. The results show that the steel surface after DBG has a large roughness of 9.79 μm, a hard hardening layer of 6.2 GPa, and high cleanliness of 1.34 atomic % oxygen content, while that after LBG has a roughness of 1.31 μm, a hardening layer of 4.2 GPa, and an oxygen content of 2.37 atomic %. The large roughness promotes the breaking of the hardening layer; the hardening layer is beneficial to obtain sufficient interfacial stress to expose the fresh metal; and the high cleanliness reduces the barrier to the fresh metal and contributes to the bonding of the fresh metal. The interface of the cold-rolled brass/carbon steel composite strip after LBG and DBG is mechanical bonding and metallurgical bonding, respectively. In the process of the cold-rolling composite, large shear deformation occurs at the interface of brass and steel, resulting in a high concentration of vacancy and dislocation defects, which provides a channel for interdiffusion of atoms at the interface. Under the diffusion driving force provided by the cold-rolling shear deformation heat, a nanodiffusion layer with a thickness of 60 nm and high interfacial bond strength was formed.

    Abstract High-flux measurement characteristics of compressed sensing (CS) imaging causes the imaging system prone to be disturbed by quantization. To realize high-quality CS imaging with limited detector bits, an improved imaging method combining sparse measurements and multiple dithers is proposed to reduce the dynamic range of the measured signals and increase that of effective detection. Simulations and experiments show that compared with traditional CS imaging, the proposed system decreases reconstruction errors caused by quantization distortions and may reduce the required number of detector bits to 1. The effects of detector noise and system parameters are discussed to validate the feasibility and performance of this method.

    Abstract Vitamin C (VC), widely found in vegetables and fruits, operates as an electron donor to perform various biological functions including anti-inflammatory activity. However, the mechanisms by which VC inhibits inflammation remain insufficiently understood. Accordingly, we performed a detail mechanistic study on anti-inflammatory activity of VC at millimolar (pharmacological) concentrations in lipopolysaccharides-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. It was found that VC and its two-electron oxidative product, dehydroascorbate (DHA) constructs an efficient redox cycle with the aid of intracellular glutathione and copper ions, thereby facilitating the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the ROS-dependent inhibition against the NF-κB-mediated inflammation.

    Abstract Objective To investigate the effects of pseudolaric acid B (PAB) on the proliferation and apoptosis of HEp-2 cells. Methods Cell grouping and treatment: cells were treated with 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 μmol/L PAB for 24, 48 and 72 h respectively; MTT assay was used to detect cell viability; flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis; The expression of Bcl-2, Bax and caspase-3 protein and mRNA was detected by Western blot and qPCR. The expression of PARP and c-PARP was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results PAB inhibited HEp-2 proliferation in a time-concentration dependent manner. Compared with the control group, the apoptosis rate of HEp-2 cells in 4 μmol/L and 8 μmol/L PAB groups was significantly increased(P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the expression of Bcl-2 and PARP in HEp-2 cells of 4 μmol/L and 8 μmol/L PAB groups were significantly decreased(P<0.05), and the expression of Bax, caspase-3 and c-PARP was significantly increased(P<0.05). Conclusions PAB can activate the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway thus induce apoptosis of HEp-2 cells and inhibit cell proliferation.

    Abstract Developing nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2 (Nrf2)-dependent cytoprotectors against oxidative damage is of concern because they can effectively reduce the risk of oxidative stress-related diseases, such as cancer and inflammation. This work was aimed to develop more active Nrf2-dependent cytoprotectors than curcumin, a well-known dietary Nrf2 activator and cancer chemopreventive agent. Herein we designed a panel of curcumin-inspired mono-carbonyl piperidinone analogs differentiated by placing distinct electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups on its two aromatic rings in the ortho, meta, or para position to the linker of α, β-unsaturated piperidinone. Among these, the ortho-fluorine-substituted CN-2F surfaced as a promising lead molecule, which was significantly superior to the parent curcumin in protecting HepG2 cells from oxidative damage induced by tert-butyl hydroperoxide. Mechanically, by virtue of its Michael receptor units and ortho-substituted mode, CN-2F activated Nrf2 signaling by covalently modifying Cys-151 and Cys-288 residues at Keap1, promoting phosphorylation of JNK, ERK and p38, as well as inhibiting Nrf2 degradation. This work reveals the structural determinants and the activity mechanisms of CN-2F as an Nrf2-dependent cytoprotector, and gives useful information on how to design curcumin-inspired Nrf2 activators and cytoprotectors.

    Abstract Mid-wave infrared (MWIR) cameras for large number pixels are extremely expensive compared with their counterparts in visible light, thus, super-resolution imaging (SRI) for MWIR by increasing imaging pixels has always been a research hotspot in recent years. Over the last decade, with the extensively investigation of the compressed sensing (CS) method, focal plane array (FPA) based compressive imaging in MWIR developed rapidly for SRI. This paper presents a long-distance super-resolution FPA compressive imaging in MWIR with improved calibration method and imaging effect. By the use of CS, we measure and calculate the calibration matrix of optical system efficiently and precisely, which improves the imaging contrast and signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) compared with previous work. We also achieved the 4x4 times super-resolution reconstruction of the long-distance objects which reaches the limit of the system design in our experiment.

    Abstract Myeloid cells are important cell types that carry human cytomegalovirus. Latent viral DNA is present in CD34+ progenitor cells and their derived monocytes. However, differentiation of latently infected monocytes to mature macrophages or dendritic cells causes reactivation of latent viruses. During hematopoietic development, pluripotent genes are repressed, and lineage specific genes are activated in a step-wise manner. This process is governed by cell-type specific chromatin states. Enhancers in the hematopoietic system are highly dynamic and established by pioneer (first tier) transcription factors (TFs), which set the stage for second and third tier TF binding. In this review, we examine the epigenetic mechanisms that regulate myeloid cell development, cell identity, and activation with a special focus on factors that regulate viral gene expression and the status of viral infection in myeloid cells.

    Abstract Background: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), one of the key enzymes in the process of lipid transport, is involved in the disease progression of various types of tumors. This article is to study the role of PCSK9 in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
    Methods: Immunohistochemistry was used to assess the expression of PCSK9 in tumor specimens from 105 HCC patients who underwent curative resection. Western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR were used to test the protein and mRNA expression levels in HCC cell lines. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and clone formation assays were performed to evaluate the proliferation ability of different kinds of cells in vitro. Flow cytometry was used to analyze cell cycle distribution and apoptosis rate. A xenograft model was established to study the effect of PCSK9 on HCC growth in vivo. TUNEL and immunofluorescence assays were used to detect cell apoptosis.
    Results: High expression of PCSK9 in tumor tissues was related to microvascular invasion (p = 0.036) and large tumor size (p = 0.001) in HCC patients. Overall survival and disease-free survival after surgery were poor in patients with high expression of PCSK9 (p = 0.035 and p = 0.007, respectively). In vivo and in vitro experiments showed that PCSK9 promoted the growth of HCC by inhibiting cell apoptosis. A mechanistic study revealed that PCSK9 increases FASN expression, thereby inhibiting apoptosis of HCC cells via the Bax/Bcl-2/Caspase9/Caspase3 pathway.
    Conclusions: PCSK9 expression level in HCC is an indicator of poor prognosis for patients with HCC. FASN-mediated anti-apoptosis plays an important role in PCSK9-induced HCC progression.

    Abstract The Qinling-Daba Mountains area is the main producing areas of Gynostemma longipes for medicinal usage, and samples of wild whole plants in Pingli, Shaanxi Province and Qingchuan, Sichuan Province were collected. The ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS~E) was used to profile the chemical compositions and analyze the similarities and differences of G. longipes samples in these areas. Based on the accurate molecular weight and fragment information obtained from Q-TOF-MS~E, the structures of the main components were identified by combining with the mass spectra, chromatographic behaviors of reference standards and related literatures. The results showed that the components of wild G. longipes from different places among Qinling-Daba Mountains area were similar. Forty-five chemical components were identified in the whole plant of G. longipes from Pingli, Shaanxi Province, including 43 triterpenoid saponins and 2 flavonoids which contain all main peaks in its fingerprint. The main components are dammarane-type triterpenoid saponins, such asgypenoside ⅩLⅨ, gypenoside A and its malonylated product of glycosyl.
