Highlights Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites integrating structure and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding are gaining interest. This paper uses silane coupling agent KH570 modified Nano‐ZnO to enhance the EMI shielding of 2D carbon fiber cloths (CFC). Boron‐phenolic resin (BPF) was modified by KH570 modified carbonyl iron powder (CIP). The ZnO2@CF/CIP2@BPF composite, modified with 0.4 wt% Nano‐ZnO and 10 wt% CIP, achieves an average EMI SE of 52.72 dB and low transmittance in the X‐band, while significantly improving mechanical properties (Interlayer shear strength by 74.11%, flexural strength by 80.32%, and flexural modulus by 61.07%) compared to the original CF/BPF composite. The composite's electromagnetic shielding properties and mechanical properties make it potentially valuable in military and civilian applications. Enhanced EMI shielding with Nano‐ZnO coated carbon fibers. Modified boron phenolic resin matrix for improved absorption. Composites exhibits superior EMI shielding and mechanical properties. Synergistic surface and matrix modification boosts composite overall performance. Carbon fiber composite achieves 52.72 dB EMI shielding efficacy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Space‐time coding metasurfaces (STCMs) have gained a great deal of achievements in the fields of radar and communication, but they have rarely been explored in the field of electronic jamming. The existing researches use time‐varying surface or phase‐switched screens to realize electronic deceptions, but the deceptions are completely passive and are limited in the time‐frequency domain. Here, a mechanism of STCM‐based deceptions is presented in the space and the time‐frequency domains, and precise designs of the STCM‐based deceptions are achieved by performing shifting operations on the space‐time coding sequences of the STCM. Moreover, STCM‐based DOA (direction‐of‐arrival) estimation is integrated with the deception procedure to achieve trackable electronic deception which cannot be realized by completely passive electronic jamming. A prototype system of the STCM‐based deception is built to verify the deception performance, and the experimental results agree well with the numerical simulations. This work extends the research and the applications of the STCMs, hence showing great scientific and engineering significance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ionic liquids (ILs) are prized for their selective dissolution of carbon dioxide (CO2), leading to their widespread use in ionogel membranes for gas separation. Despite their advantages, creating sustainable ionogel membranes with high IL contents poses challenges due to limited mechanical strength, leakage risks, and poor recyclability. Herein, we leverage copolymerized and supramolecularly bound ILs to develop ionogel membranes with high mechanical strength, zero leakage, and excellent self‐healing and recycling capabilities. These membranes exhibit superior ideal selectivity for gas separation compared to other reported ionogel membranes, achieving a CO2/nitrogen selectivity of 61.7 and a CO2/methane selectivity of 24.6, coupled with an acceptable CO2 permeability of 186.4 Barrer. Additionally, these gas separation ionogel membranes can be upcycled into ionic skins for sensing applications, further enhancing their utility. This research outlines a strategic approach to molecularly engineer ionogel membranes, offering a promising pathway for developing sustainable, high‐performance materials for advanced gas separation technologies.

ION migration & velocity , *LEAD halides , *ACTIVATION energy , *DETECTION limit , *ION energy - Abstract
Ion migration is a major factor affecting the operational stability of perovskite X‐ray detectors, especially under the necessary high working bias. To address this issue, lead‐free tin halide perovskites (FASnI3) being pioneered with the robust Sn─I bond for X‐ray detection. It is observed that the incorporation of propylamine hydroiodide (PAI) to FASnI3‐PAI films can increase activation energy for ion migration (752.18 meV), thereby enhancing the operational stability of X‐ray detectors. The devices based on FASnI3‐PAI demonstrate a significant reduction in dark current drift (1.14 × 10−16 A cm−1 V−1 s−1), with values two orders of magnitude lower than those observed in lead halide perovskites (2.40 × 10−14 A cm−1 V−1 s−1). Moreover, the FASnI3‐PAI films exhibit enhanced film crystallinity, reduced trap density, and improved mobility‐lifetime product, resulting in a high sensitivity of 5535 µC Gyair−1 cm−2 and an ultralow detection limit of 7.95 nGyair s−1. Significantly, high‐contrast X‐ray imaging has also been successfully achieved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Manganese (Mn) ‐based phosphate is poised for commercial applications driven by its cost‐effectiveness, robust NASICON framework, and multi‐dimensional Na+ pathways. However, it encounters insufficient redox reactions and rapid structural collapse with severe lattice distortion as the culprit. Herein, one meticulously engineered substitutional solid solution cathode (integrating Na4MnCr(PO4)3 and Na3MnTi(PO4)3, denoted NMCTP) is proposed to regulate the local crystal structure of Mn─O bond to stabilize and promote the Mn redox reaction for optimizing the electrochemical performance. It is uncovered that the bulk framework with structural stability is constructed by strongly symmetric Mn─O bond lengths of MnO6 octahedrons and strengthened Mn─O covalency. In addition, the sufficient utilization of Mn redox is tightly correlated with redistributed Na2 occupancy and enhanced diffusion kinetics with accelerated electron transportation. By virtue of the above merits, The NMCTP performs ultra‐high capacity (150.3 mAh g−1 at 0.1 C) and appealing cycling stability (84.7% retention over 1000 cycles). Sodium storage mechanisms and potential factors at high potentials are unveiled in NMCTP materials. This work sheds light on fire‐new solid solution strengthening in view of the Mn─O bond structure for high‐performance Mn‐based phosphate cathodes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ION channels , *CHLORIDE channels , *CHLORIDE ions , *MOLECULES , *LIPIDS - Abstract
It has long been an aspirational goal to create artificial channel structures that replicate the feat achieved by ion channel proteins. Biological ion channels occasionally demonstrate multiple conductance states (known as subconductance), remaining a challenging property to achieve in artificial channel molecules. We report a funnel‐shaped single‐molecule channel constructed by an electron‐deficient macrocycle and two electron‐deficient aromatic imide arms. Planar lipid bilayer measurements reveal distinct current recordings, including a closed state, two conducting states, and spontaneous transitions between the three states, resembling the events seen in biological ion channels. The transitions result from conformational changes induced by chloride transport in the channel molecule. Both opening states show a non‐linear and rectifying I–V relationship, indicating voltage‐dependent transport due to the asymmetrical channel structure. This work could enhance our understanding of ion permeation and channel opening mechanism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, but the molecular mechanisms underlying IBD are incompletely understood. In this study, we explored the role and regulating mechanism of otubain 2 (OTUB2), a deubiquitinating enzyme, in IBD. Methods: To study the function of OTUB2 in IBD, we generated Otub2–/– mice and treated them with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) to induce experimental colitis. Bone marrow transplantation was performed to identify the cell populations that were affected by OTUB2 in colitis. The molecular mechanism of OTUB2 in signal transduction was studied by various biochemical methods. Results: OTUB2 was highly expressed in colon‐infiltrating macrophages in both humans with IBD and mice with DSS‐induced experimental colitis. Colitis was significantly aggravated in Otub2–/– mice and bone marrow chimeric mice receiving Otub2–/– bone marrow. OTUB2‐deficiency impaired the production of cytokines and chemokines in macrophages in response to the NOD2 agonist muramyl dipeptide (MDP). Upon MDP stimulation, OTUB2 promoted NOD2 signaling by stabilizing RIPK2. Mechanistically, OTUB2 inhibited the proteasomal degradation of RIPK2 by removing K48‐linked polyubiquitination on RIPK2, which was mediated by the active C51 residue in OTUB2. In mice, OTUB2 ablation abolished the protective effects of MDP administration in colitis. Conclusion: This study identified OTUB2 as a novel regulator of intestinal inflammation.

BACKGROUND: Dermanyssus gallinae, the poultry red mite (PRM), is a worldwide ectoparasite posing significant economic challenges in poultry farming. The extensive use of pyrethroids for PRM control has led to the emergence of pyrethroid resistance. The objective of this study is to detect the pyrethroid resistance and explore its associated point mutations in the voltage‐gated sodium channel (VGSC) gene among PRM populations in China. RESULTS: Several populations of D. gallinae, namely CJF‐1, CJP‐2, CJP‐3, CSD‐4 and CLD‐5, displayed varying degrees of resistance to beta‐cypermethrin compared to a susceptible field population (CBP‐5). Mutations of VGSC gene in populations of PRMs associated with pyrethroid resistance were identified through sequencing its fragments IIS4–IIS5 and IIIS6. The mutations I917V, M918T/L, A924G and L925V were present in multiple populations, while no mutations were found at positions T929, I936, F1534 and F1538. CONCLUSION: The present study confirmed the presence of extremely high levels of pyrethroid resistance in PRM populations in China, and for the first time detected four pyrethroid resistance mutations in the VGSC gene. Identifying pyrethroid resistance in the field population of PRM in China can be achieved through screening for VGSC gene mutations as an early detection method. Our findings underscore the importance of implementing chemical PRM control strategies based on resistance evidence, while also considering the management of acaricide resistance in the control of PRMs. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Purpose: Tractography of the facial nerve based on diffusion MRI is instrumental before surgery for the resection of vestibular schwannoma, but no excellent methods usable for the suppression of motion and image noise have been proposed. The aim of this study was to effectively suppress noise and provide accurate facial nerve reconstruction by extend a fiber trajectory distribution function based on the fourth‐order streamline differential equations. Methods: Preoperative MRI from 33 patients with vestibular schwannoma who underwent surgical resection were utilized in this study. First, T1WI and T2WI were used to obtain mask images and regions of interest. Second, probabilistic tractography was employed to obtain the fibers representing the approximate facial nerve pathway, and these fibers were subsequently translated into orientation information for each voxel. Last, the voxel orientation information and the peaks of the fiber orientation distribution were combined to generate a fiber trajectory distribution function, which was used to parameterize the anatomical information. The parameters were determined by minimizing the cost between the trajectory of fibers and the estimated directions. Results: Qualitative and visual analyses were used to compare facial nerve reconstruction with intraoperative recordings. Compared with other methods (SD_Stream, iFOD1, iFOD2, unscented Kalman filter, parallel transport tractography), the fiber‐trajectory‐distribution‐based tractography provided the most accurate facial nerve reconstructions. Conclusion: The fiber‐trajectory‐distribution‐based tractography can effectively suppress the effect of noise. It is a more valuable aid for surgeons before vestibular schwannoma resection, which may ultimately improve the postsurgical patient's outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Photoactive black‐phase formamidinium lead triiodide (α‐FAPbI3) perovskite has dominated the prevailing high‐performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs), normally for those spin‐coated, conventional n‐i‐p structured devices. Unfortunately, α‐FAPbI3 has not been made full use of its advantages in inverted p‐i‐n structured PSCs fabricated via blade‐coating techniques owing to uncontrollable crystallization kinetics and complicated phase evolution of FAPbI3 perovskites during film formation. Herein, a customized crystal surface energy regulation strategy has been innovatively developed by incorporating 0.5 mol % of N‐aminoethylpiperazine hydroiodide (NAPI) additive into α‐FAPbI3 crystal‐derived perovskite ink, which enabled the formation of highly‐oriented α‐FAPbI3 films. We deciphered the phase transformation mechanisms and crystallization kinetics of blade‐coated α‐FAPbI3 perovskite films via combining a series of in‐situ characterizations and theoretical calculations. Interestingly, the strong chemical interactions between the NAPI and inorganic Pb−I framework help to reduce the surface energy of (100) crystal plane by 42 %, retard the crystallization rate and lower the formation energy of α‐FAPbI3. Benefited from multifaceted advantages of promoted charge extraction and suppressed non‐radiative recombination, the resultant blade‐coated inverted PSCs based on (100)‐oriented α‐FAPbI3 perovskite films realized promising efficiencies up to 24.16 % (~26.5 % higher than that of the randomly‐oriented counterparts), accompanied by improved operational stability. This result represented one of the best performances reported to date for FAPbI3‐based inverted PSCs fabricated via scalable deposition methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

EphrinB2, a member of the Ephrin family, has been linked to several orthopaedic conditions. Nevertheless, the correlation between ephrinB2 and post‐traumatic arthritis (PTOA) remains unclear. Human PTOA cartilage from human and mouse knee joints was systematically analysed to investigate the relationship between EphrinB2 and PTOA using SO‐FG and toluidine blue staining, micro‐CT, histomorphometry, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, lentiviral articular injection and in situ end labeling (TUNEL) assays. EphrinB2 expression was significantly downregulated in PTOA chondrocytes. Blocking EphrinB2 increased the breakdown of cartilage matrix in mice with PTOA via reducing the process of chondrocyte autophagy. The presence of severe cartilage damage was evident, as indicated by a considerable decrease in both cartilage thickness and area, accompanied by an increase in chondrocyte death. Altogether, EphrinB2 is required for the maintenance of cartilage homeostasis in post‐traumatic arthritis, and EphrinB2 ablation is associated with accelerated chondrocyte matrix degeneration, finally causing damage to the articular cartilage.

To explore the chirality induction and switching of topological chirality, poly[2]catenanes composed of helical poly(phenylacetylenes) (PPAs) main chain and topologically chiral [2]catenane pendants are described for the first time. These poly[2]catenanes with optically active [2]catenanes on side chains were synthesized by polymerization of enantiomerically pure topologically chiral [2]catenanes with ethynyl polymerization site and/or point chiral moiety. The chirality information of [2]catenane pendants was successfully transferred to the main chain of polyene backbones, leading to preferred‐handed helical conformations, while the introduction of point chiral units has negligible effect on the overall helices. More interestingly, attributed to unique dynamic feature of the [2]catenane pendants, these polymers revealed dynamic response behaviors to solvents, temperature, and sodium ions, resulting in the fully reversible switching on/off of the chirality induction. This work provides not only new design strategy for novel chiroptical switches with topologically chiral molecules but also novel platforms for the development of smart chiral materials.

The plastic deformation of the microfibrils governs the formation and development of orientation, crystallization, and structural defects in polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers due to the flow‐fiber coupling effect during stretching process. In this study, we investigated the morphological changes of microfibrils in PAN fibers during wet‐fiber stretching using ultrathin section technology and electron microscopy observation. Their plastic deformation mechanism was also revealed. An interconnected network was formed and separated by the pore/voids during coagulation process. Stretching forces facilitated the plastic deformation of microfibrils, resulted in their elongation and orientation. Moreover, the inter‐fibril distance reduced and pore/void shape and dimensions were changed. The distinct response of microfibril elements under stretching force resulted in skin‐core structures within the fiber. Tensile strength increased from 27 to 382 MPa, while elongation at break decreased from 225% to 28%. Aligned microfibrils exhibited high tensile strength, whereas unoriented microfibrillar networks showed relatively high elongation properties. Additionally, we proposed a relationship between microfibril morphology changes and fiber mechanical properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Exploring special anode materials with high capacity, stable structure, and extreme temperature feasibility remains a great challenge in secondary sodium based energy systems. Here, a bimetallic Cu‐Fe selenide nanosheet with refined nanostructure providing confined internal ion transport channels are reported, in which the structure improves the pseudocapacitance and reduces the charge transfer resistance for making a significant contribution to accelerating the reaction dynamics. The CuFeSe2 nanosheets have a high initial specific capacity of 480.4 mAh g−1 at 0.25 A g−1, showing impressively excellent rate performance and ultralong cycling life over 1000 cycles with 261.1 mAh g−1 at 2.5 A g−1. Meanwhile, it exhibits a good sodium storage performance at extreme temperatures from −20 °C to 50 °C, supporting at least 500 cycles. Besides, the CuFeSe2||Na3V2(PO4)3/C full cell delivers a high specific capacity of 168.5 mAh g−1 at 0.5 A g−1 and excellent feasibility for over 600 cycles long cycling. Additionally, the Na+ storage mechanisms are further revealed by ex situ X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. A feasible channelized structural design strategy is provided that inspires new instruction into the development of novel materials with high structural stability and low volume expansion rate toward the application of other secondary batteries.

Compound/silicon heterojunction (SCH) solar cells have been widely studied because of the low parasitic absorption of the window layer, high short‐circuit current, and simple preparation process. So far, most reported SCH solar cells are small‐area devices. By depositing MoOx hole transport layer using hot‐wire oxidation–sublimation deposition technique and employing a front‐contact back‐junction cell architecture, the large‐area SCH solar cells are successfully fabricated on M6 (166 mm) n‐type silicon wafers. Indium cerium oxide (ICO) film with the optimal thickness of about 110 nm is inserted between MoOx and Ag. The ICO/Ag stack functions well as a back reflector and is beneficial for increasing the short‐circuit current density, reducing the contact resistance, and improving the device stability. A power conversion efficiency of 21.59% is achieved on the champion SCH solar cell with the device area of 274.15 cm2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Inorganic membranes are used to effectively capture particulate matter in dust without causing secondary pollution. However, fine dust particles accumulate on the surface and penetrate the structure of inorganic membranes, thereby degrading their performance. This study investigated the influence of the precoating of inorganic membranes with needle‐shaped wollastonite particles on their regeneration efficiency. The filter‐cake‐curing technique was employed, and the results were obtained by characterization methods, including scanning electron microscopy and energy‐dispersive spectroscopy. The mechanism for controlling membrane fouling was examined based on the quantity and depth of particle penetration to the filtration medium and pore structure of the filter cake. The results demonstrated that precoating can prevent fine particles from penetrating the membrane pores, thereby alleviating pore blocking in inorganic membranes. Furthermore, this increased the porosity and decreased the fractal dimension of the pore in the cake, thereby reducing the structural complexity and resistance during cake removal. The regeneration efficiency of the inorganic membrane increased from 59.4% without a precoating to 94.1% when wollastonite particles with an aspect ratio of 10 were used for precoating.

Objective: This study aims to provide a scoping review and attempts to uncover the possible association between burning mouth disorder and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Ovid, Scopus, and a search platform (EBSCOhost) were searched from their inception to August 22, 2023. Results: After screening 2795 records, 18 articles were included in the final review, comprising cross‐sectional studies (n = 9), case–control studies (n = 5), case reports (n = 2), case series (n = 1), and experimental study (n = 1). The prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease and its extraesophageal manifestations of laryngopharyngeal reflux in burning mouth patients was reported 3.39%–23.4% and 50%–93.8%, respectively, while oral burning was reported in 9%–45% of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. In case–control studies, gastroesophageal reflux disease was more prevalent in patients with burning mouth disorder compared with controls. Burning mouth would be resolved after antireflux therapy in laryngopharyngeal reflux patients in case series. PH value and saliva alternation might be the possible mechanisms. Conclusion: The possibility of the correlation between burning mouth disorder and gastroesophageal reflux disease still needs to be clearly demonstrated through better‐conducted studies. The link between them is worth to be explored in future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The isolation and catalytic enantioselective synthesis of configurationally stable
S ‐stereogenic sulfonium ylides have been significant challenges in the field of asymmetric synthesis. These reactive intermediates are crucial for a variety of synthetic transformations, yet their inherent tendency towards rapid inversion at the sulfur stereocenter has hindered their practical utilization. Conventional approaches have focused on strategies that incorporate a C=S bond‐containing cyclic framework to help mitigate this stereochemical lability. In this work, we present an alternative tactic that leverages the stabilizing influence of an adjacentN ‐atom and cyclic sulfide moiety. Exploiting a copper catalyzed enantioselective intermolecular carbene transfer reaction, structurally diverseS ‐stereogenic aminosulfonium ylides have been achieved in excellent yields and enantioselectivities. Experimental results indicate that the careful selection of 2‐diazo‐1,3‐diketone precursors is crucial for achieving optimal stereoinduction in this transformation. The resulting highly enantioenriched aminosulfonium ylides allow for further stereospecific elaborations to furnish aminosulfonium ylide oxides and sulfinamide. This work expands the boundaries of chiral sulfonium ylide chemistry, providing access to a broad range of previously elusiveS ‐stereogenic aminosulfonium ylide scaffolds.

Comprehensive Summary Tin oxide (SnO2) has been widely used as an electron transport layer (ETL) in optoelectronic devices. However, there are numerous surface or bulk defects in SnO2, working as charge recombination centers to degrade device. Here, an electroactive and self‐healing polyurethane (PHNN) was designed by integrating conjugated unit – naphthalene diimide (NDI) into a typical polyurethane backbone. Numerous hydrogen bonds and π interactions in PHNN work as non‐covalent interactions to endow this polymer with superior self‐healing properties. PHNN contains lots of aliphatic amine and carbonyl groups, which effectively passivate the defects in SnO2. The π stacking of NDI units will facilitate electron delocalization, endowing PHNN with electrical activity compared with traditional polyurethane. Doping SnO2 with PHNN can improve the conductivity and reduce the work function of SnO2 layer, which is conducive to efficient charge extraction and transport. Using PHNN doped SnO2 as ETL for PM6: Y6 and PM6: BTP‐eC9 based inverted organic solar cells can achieve a high efficiency of 17.16% and 17.51%, respectively. Devices containing doped SnO2 ETL show significantly improved efficiency and stability. Thus, the electroactive polyurethane doped SnO2 interlayers show high performance interfacial modification to align energy‐levels in solar cell devices, which have promising applications in organic electronics.

In alkali metal‐doped optical temperature measurement materials, the influence of the electronegativity difference of alkali metal ions on optical temperature measurement performance is rarely reported. This study investigates and analyzes the performance of optical temperature measurement of Na0.5Gd0.5TiO3: Yb, Er doped with Li+ and K+ ions, utilizing the Judd‐Ofelt theory and the first‐principles method. The results reveal that the sensitivities increase with the increase of atomic number of doped alkali metal ions. The reason is that a difference in ionic radius between the dopant and the replaced ion decreases the symmetry of the crystal field and increases the value of Ω2. The doping K+ with low electronegativity leads to an increase in the s orbital electron density of rare earth ions, thereby repelling the d orbital electrons, reducing the d electron density, and decreasing the value of Ω6. Based on the Judd‐Ofelt theory, a combination of a large Ω2 and a small Ω6 is expected to enhance the absolute sensitivity of optical temperature‐measuring materials doped with rare earth ions. Therefore, it can be concluded that doping an ion with low electronegativity and a significant radius difference from the substitution site is beneficial for enhancing the optical temperature sensitivity.

This paper develops a general and complete solution for the undrained cylindrical cavity expansion problem in nonassociated Mohr‐Coulomb soil under nonhydrostatic initial stress field (i.e., arbitrary K0${{K}_0}$ values of the earth pressure coefficient), by expanding a unique and efficient graphical solution procedure recently proposed by Chen and Wang in 2022 for the special in situ stress case with K0=1${K}_{0}=1$. It is interesting to find that the cavity expansion deviatoric stress path is always composed of a series of piecewise straight lines, for all different case scenarios of K0 being involved. When the cavity is sufficiently expanded, the stress path will eventually end, exclusively, in a major sextant with Lode angle θ in between 5π3$\frac{{5\pi }}{3}$ and 11π6$\frac{{11\pi }}{6}$ or on the specific line of θ=11π6$\theta = \frac{{11\pi }}{6}$. The salient advantage/feature of the present general graphical approach lies in that it can deduce the cavity expansion responses in full closed form, nevertheless being free of the limitation of the intermediacy assumption for the vertical stress and of the difficulty existing in the traditional zoning method that involves cumbersome, sequential determination of distinct Mohr–Coulomb plastic regions. Some typical results for the desired cavity expansion curves and the limit cavity pressure are presented, to investigate the impacts of soil plasticity parameters and the earth pressure coefficient on the cavity responses. The proposed graphical method/solution will be of great value for the interpretation of pressuremeter tests in cohesive‐frictional soils. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MYELIN , *GENERAL anesthesia , *OPTICAL fibers , *ISOFLURANE , *OLIGODENDROGLIA - Abstract
Aims: The mechanism underlying the reversible unconsciousness induced by general anesthetics (GA) remains unclear. Recent studies revealed the critical roles of myelin and oligodendrocytes (OLs) in higher functions of the brain. However, it is unknown whether myelin actively participates in the regulation of GA. The aim of this study is to investigate the roles and possible mechanisms of myelin in the regulation of consciousness alterations induced by isoflurane anesthesia. Methods: First, demyelination models for the entire brain and specific neural nuclei were established to investigate the potential role of myelination in the regulation of GA, as well as its possible regional specificity. c‐Fos staining was then performed on the demyelinated nuclei to verify the impact of myelin loss on neuronal activity. Finally, the activity of neurons during isoflurane anesthesia in demyelinated mice was recorded by optical fiber photometric calcium signal. The related behavioral indicators and EEG were recorded and analyzed. Results: A prolonged emergence time was observed from isoflurane anesthesia in demyelinated mice, which suggested the involvement of myelin in regulating GA. The demyelination in distinct nuclei by LPC further clarified the region‐specific roles of isoflurane anesthesia regulation by myelin. The effect of demyelination on isoflurane anesthesia in the certain nucleus was consistent with that in neurons towards isoflurane anesthesia. Finally, we found that the mechanism of myelin in the modulation of isoflurane anesthesia is possibly through the regulation of neuronal activity. Conclusions: In brief, myelin in the distinct neural nucleus plays an essential role in regulating the process of isoflurane anesthesia. The possible mechanism of myelin in the regulation of isoflurane anesthesia is neuronal activity modification by myelin integrity during GA. Our findings enhanced the comprehension of myelin function, and offered a fresh perspective for investigating the neural mechanisms of GA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Organic solar cells (OSCs) have attracted much interest in the past few decades because of their advantages, such as being lightweight, low cost, simple preparation process, and environmental friendliness. While researchers have made significant progress on the active layer materials of OSCs, the interface engineering is another entry point for upgrading the photovoltaic performance of OSCs. Significantly, the interface modification materials, including anode interfacial materials and cathode interfacial materials, are two essential parts of interfacial layers for OSCs, in which the excellent interfacial materials can realize the very high‐performance photovoltaic cells. Among these interfacial materials, the anode interfacial layers (AILs) play a crucial role in improving photovoltaic performance. This review expresses a detailed conclusion of the development of anode interfacial materials and an outlook on future trends for OSCs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The semi‐underground double‐storey squat silo (SUDSSS) is a new type of silo with the advantages of preserving grain quality. In this paper, a numerical model of SUDSSS was constructed using solid elements. The proposed numerical model was validated by test results of an experimental underground silo, and the results demonstrated that: (1) Before and after backfilling, the radial and circumferential stress of the underground storey reached their maximum at 2/3 from the bottom and 2/3 from the ground surface, respectively; (2) As the height of grain storage increases, the silo wall stress in the overground storey increases. From the top of the underground storey up to 1/4 height of the overground storey, the stress of silo wall increases. (3) For the underground storey, the maximum stress occurs at 1/3 of the way from the apex of bottom cone. Practical applications: The semi‐underground double‐storey squat silo is a new grain storage device proposed by this paper, which consists of two layers. The lower layer is located in the ground and can utilize the shallow ground temperature to realize the green and low‐temperature storage of grain, the upper layer is conducive to the turnover of grain, which can ensure the quality of grain storage. The new silo has the advantages of saving land, energy saving and carbon reduction. Based on the silo, this paper investigates the stress–strain properties of the silo before and after soil backfilling during the construction stage, and obtains the change pattern of the static mechanical properties of the silo. This paper analyses the mechanical properties of semi‐underground double‐storey squat silo under different storage conditions at the grain storage stage, and studies the change patterns of the mechanical properties of the silo body under different storage heights.

In order to clarify the effect of feeding rate ratio (Rsr) for polylactic acid (PLA) to polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the performance of thermal regulation nanofibers, PLA and PEG solutions were used as the outer and inner spinning solutions, respectively, to develop PLA/PEG nanofibers (NFp‐p) through coaxial electrospinning. NFp‐p nanofibers with Rsr of 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1 were labeled PR1, PR2, and PR3, respectively. The morphology, chemical structure, mechanical properties, and thermal performance of NFp‐p were tested, and the thermal regulation function was investigated. The results showed that increasing Rsr could increase the diameter of NFp‐p, with PR1 having the smallest average diameter (520 nm). PR1 had the lowest water contact angle (122.4°), and higher Rsr enhanced the encapsulation effect of PLA on PEG. The mechanical properties of NFp‐p were significantly improved compared to pure PLA, with PR1 and PR3 exhibiting the highest breaking stress (2.5 MPa) and breaking strain (213%). The thermal performance of NFp‐p could be regulated by Rsr, with PR1 showing a more pronounced endothermic peak due to the melting of PEG, and the highest phase‐change enthalpy (13.2 J/g). Lower Rsr enhanced the thermal regulation function of NFp‐p, and PR1 showed superior thermal regulation performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The performance of a stirred bioreactor was evaluated in this study in terms of the bubble hydrodynamics and the mass transfer efficiency, using a non‐viscous Newtonian fluid of water, a viscous non‐Newtonian fluid of xanthan, and a viscous non‐Newtonian fluids of xanthan with dispersed soybean powder, respectively. The computational fluid dynamics–population balance model (CFD‐PBM) method coupled with the viscosity model and the mass transfer model is established to simulate the gas–liquid mass transfer process and bubble size distribution in the stirred bioreactor. The results demonstrate that the rheological properties of the fluid play an important role in determining the gas holdup, the mass transfer efficiency, and the bubble size distribution. Viscosity of the fluid exhibits a negative impact on gas–liquid mass transfer rate and gas holdup. Moreover, by properly adjusting the operating conditions such as the stirrer speed, it is possible to modulate the gas dispersion and mass transfer rate in the reactor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Globally, traumatic injury is a leading cause of suffering and death. The ability to curtail damage and ensure survival after major injury requires a time‐sensitive response balancing organ perfusion, blood loss, and portability, underscoring the need for novel therapies for the prehospital environment. Currently, there are few options available for damage control resuscitation (DCR) of trauma victims. We hypothesize that synthetic polymers, which are tunable, portable, and stable under austere conditions, can be developed as effective injectable therapies for trauma medicine. In this work, we design injectable polymers for use as low volume resuscitants (LVRs). Using RAFT polymerization, we evaluate the effect of polymer size, architecture, and chemical composition upon both blood coagulation and resuscitation in a rat hemorrhagic shock model. Our therapy is evaluated against a clinically used colloid resuscitant, Hextend. We demonstrate that a radiant star poly(glycerol monomethacrylate) polymer did not interfere with coagulation while successfully correcting metabolic deficit and resuscitating animals from hemorrhagic shock to the desired mean arterial pressure range for DCR – correcting a 60 % total blood volume (TBV) loss when given at only 10 % TBV. This highly portable and non‐coagulopathic resuscitant has profound potential for application in trauma medicine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the current challenging energy storage and conversion landscape, solid‐state lithium metal batteries with high energy conversion efficiency, high energy density, and high safety stand out. Due to the limitations of material properties, it is difficult to achieve the ideal requirements of solid electrolytes with a single‐phase electrolyte. A composite solid electrolyte is composed of two or more different materials. Composite electrolytes can simultaneously offer the advantages of multiple materials. Through different composite methods, the merits of various materials can be incorporated into the most essential part of the battery in a specific form. Currently, more and more researchers are focusing on composite methods for combining components in composite electrolytes. The ion transport capacity, interface stability, machinability, and safety of electrolytes can be significantly improved by selecting appropriate composite methods. This review summarizes the composite methods used for the components of composite electrolytes, such as filler blending, embedded framework, and multilayer bonding. It also discusses the future development trends of all‐solid‐state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Benzocyclobutene‐functionalized polysiloxane microspheres with high sphericity and narrow size distribution on the nanometer (BPNS) and micrometer (BPMS) scale were prepared by the hydrolysis‐condensation reaction of benzocyclobutene vinyl trimethoxysiloxane (BCBVST) in the absence of surfactants, respectively. In this paper, we systematically investigate the relationship between hydrolysis conditions and BPNS/BPMS size. The results show that the method developed in this paper is characterized by simple manipulation, controllable microsphere size, and high repeatability. A possible mechanism for the formation of BPMS has been proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a new type of foldcore sandwich panel (tentatively called X‐type foldcore sandwich panel) is proposed by combining the X‐type corrugated sandwich panel and the Miura‐ori sandwich panel. The experimental specimens are prepared by using a glass fiber‐reinforced polymer. To systematically reveal the low‐velocity response mechanism and impact resistance of sandwich panels, a hemispherical impactor is used to impact panels. The effects of impact energy, impact position, diameter of tup, and impact mass on low‐velocity impact performance of X‐type foldcore sandwich panels are considered. The damage morphology, response process, and failure mechanism are analyzed under different working conditions. The results show that under the impact of 75 and 125 J, the impact resistance of the node is better than that of the base. Under 200 J impact, the impact resistance of the base is better than that of the node. Compared with the traditional foldcore sandwich panel, the new configuration reduces the impact resistance difference between two positions (node and base). Highlights: A new foldcore sandwich panel is proposed.The impact effect of energy, mass, position, and tup diameter is investigated.Damage morphology, response process, and impact resistance are analyzed.The new structure reduces differences in impact resistance.

Constructing heterojunctions with vacancies has garnered substantial attention in the field of piezo‐photocatalysis. However, the presence of interfacial vacancies can serve as charge‐trapping sites, leading to the localization of electrons and hindering interfacial charge transfer. Herein, dual oxygen vacancies in the NiFe‐layered double hydroxide and Bi2MoO6−x induced interfacial bonds have been designed for the piezo‐photocatalytic N2 oxidation to NO3−. Fortunately, it achieves sensational nitric acid production rates (7.23 mg g−1 h−1) in the absence of cocatalysts and sacrificial agents, which is 6.03 times of pure Bi2MoO6 that under ultrasound and light illumination. Theoretical and experimental results indicate that interfacial bonds act as "charge bridge" and "strain center" to break the carrier local effect and negative effects with piezocatalysis and photocatalysis for promoting exciton dissociation and charge transfer. Moreover, the strong electronic interaction of the interfacial bond induces internal reconstruction under ultrasound for promoting the local polarization and adsorption of N2, which accelerates the fracture of the N≡N bonds and reduces the activation energy of the reaction. The research not only establishes a novel approach for optimizing the combined effects of piezo‐catalysis and photocatalysis, but also achieves equilibrium between the synergistic impacts of vacancies and heterojunctions.

Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) are highly promising for grid‐scale energy storage due to their high‐safety and low‐cost characteristics. Nevertheless, the progress in AZIBs has been impeded due to challenges encompassing corrosion, hydrogen evolution reaction, and the formation of dendrites on Zn anodes. These issues arise from the decomposition of active water molecules in the Zn2+ solvation structure in the electrolyte. Various strategies have been proposed to regulate the electrode/electrolyte interface to effectively address these problems. In spite of remarkable headway, an inadequacy of comprehensive studies addressing the mechanisms and evolutionary dynamics of the electrode/electrolyte interface is evident within scientific literature. This overview aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the strategies for regulating the electrode/electrolyte interface, focusing on dendrite‐free and side reactions‐suppressed AZIBs. These strategies include the introduction of metal ion additives, inorganic additives, surfactant additives, polymer additives and organic additives. Furthermore, a detailed examination is made on the effects and underlying mechanisms associated with modifying the electrolyte at the interface between the electrode and electrolyte. Moreover, an appraisal is provided on the performance metrics of diverse strategies and prospective research directions are recommended as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Comprehensive Summary: In the endeavor of searching for highly active and stable electrocatalysts toward overall water splitting, high‐entropy‐alloys have been the intense subjects owing to their advanced physicochemical property. The non‐noble metal free‐standing multiscale porous NiFeCoZn high‐entropy‐alloy is in situ constructed on the surface layer of NiZn intermetallic and Ni heterojunction over nickel foam (NiFeCoZn/NiZn‐Ni/NF) by one scalable dealloying protocal to fulfill the outstanding bifunctional electrocatalytic performances toward overall water splitting. Because of the high‐entropy effects and specific hierarchical porous architecture, the as‐made NiFeCoZn/NiZn‐Ni/ NF displays high intrinsic catalytic activities and durability toward both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media. In particular, the in‐situ construction of bimodal porous NiFeCoZn high‐entropy‐alloy results in the small overpotentials (η1000 = 254/409 mV for HER and OER), low Tafel slopes, and exceptional long‐term catalytic durability for 400 h. Expressively, the electrolyzer constructed with NiFeCoZn/NiZn‐Ni/NF as both cathode and anode exhibits a low cell voltage of 1.72 V to deliver the current density of 500 mA·cm–2 for overall water splitting. This work not only provides a facile and scalable protocol for the preparation of self‐supporting high‐entropy‐alloy nanocatalysts but also enlightens the engineering of high performance bifunctional electrocatalysts toward water splitting.

The dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA, CaHPO4) bioceramic has long been difficult to prepare by conventional sintering techniques due to its weak thermal stability. Here, the DCPA ceramic is prepared at 250°C by cold sintering process (CSP) using the dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD, CaHPO4·2H2O) as the starting powder. It is found that the dehydration temperature of DCPD powder is greatly reduced during CSP, which facilitates the densification even without additive water. However, the ceramic only reaches a relatively low density of around 90% without additive water, which can be ascribed to the lack of particle rearrangement and the readily loss of dehydration water during sintering. In comparison, a high relative density of 95% can be obtained when the DCPD hydrate is densified with additive water, in which both hydration water and additive water play important roles. The obtained DCPA ceramic with high density exhibits a flexural strength of 46.17 MPa and Young's modulus closer to human bones compared with hydroxyapatite. Combined with the low cytotoxicity, the DCPA bioceramic has great potential to be applied for bone tissue engineering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Plasma medicine has attracted tremendous interest in a variety of medical conditions, ranging from wound healing to antimicrobial applications, even in cancer treatment, through the interactions of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) and various biological tissues directly or indirectly. The underlying mechanisms of CAP treatment are still poorly understood although the oxidative effects of CAP with amino acids, peptides, and proteins have been explored experimentally. In this study, machine learning (ML) technology is introduced to efficiently unveil the interaction mechanisms of amino acids and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in seconds based on the data obtained from the reactive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, which are performed to probe the interaction of five types of amino acids with various ROS on the timescale of hundreds of picoseconds but with the huge computational load of several days. The oxidative reactions typically start with H‐abstraction, and the details of the breaking and formation of chemical bonds are revealed; the modification types, such as nitrosylation, hydroxylation, and carbonylation, can be observed. The dose effects of ROS are also investigated by varying the number of ROS in the simulation box, indicating agreement with the experimental observation. To overcome the limits of timescales and the size of molecular systems in reactive MD simulations, a deep neural network (DNN) with five hidden layers is constructed according to the reaction data and employed to predict the type of oxidative modification and the probability of occurrence only in seconds as the dose of ROS varies. The well‐trained DNN can effectively and accurately predict the oxidative processes and productions, which greatly improves the computational efficiency by almost ten orders of magnitude compared with the reactive MD simulation. This study shows the great potential of ML technology to efficiently unveil the underpinning mechanisms in plasma medicine based on the data from reactive MD simulations or experimental measurements.

DIABETIC foot ,MICROCIRCULATION ,BLOOD flow - Abstract
Objective: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a severe complication with high mortality. High plantar pressure and poor microcirculation are considered main causes of DFU. The specific aims were to provide a novel technique for real‐time measurement of plantar skin blood flow (SBF) under walking‐like pressure stimulus and delineate the first plantar metatarsal head dynamic microcirculation characteristics because of life‐like loading conditions in healthy individuals. Methods: Twenty young healthy participants (14 male and 6 female) were recruited. The baseline (i.e., unloaded) SBF of soft tissue under the first metatarsal head were measured using laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF). A custom‐made machine was utilized to replicate daily walking pressure exertion for 5 min. The exerted plantar force was adjusted from 10 N (127.3 kPa) to 40 N (509.3 kPa) at an increase of 5 N (63.7 kPa). Real‐time SBF was acquired using the LDF. After each pressure exertion, postload SBF was measured for comparative purposes. Statistical analysis was performed using the R software. Results: All levels of immediate‐load and postload SBF increased significantly compared with baseline values. As the exerted load increased, the postload and immediate‐load SBF tended to increase until the exerted load reached 35 N (445.6 kPa). However, in immediate‐load data, the increasing trend tended to level off as the exerted pressure increased from 15 N (191.0 kPa) to 25 N (318.3 kPa). For postload and immediate‐load SBF, they both peaked at 35 N (445.6 kPa). However, when the exerted force exceeds 35 N (445.6 kPa), both the immediate‐load and postload SBF values started to decrease. Conclusions: Our study offered a novel real‐time plantar soft tissue microcirculation measurement technique under dynamic conditions. For the first metatarsal head of healthy people, 20 N (254.6 kPa)‐plantar pressure has a fair microcirculation stimulus compared with higher pressure. There might be a pressure threshold at 35 N (445.6 kPa) for the first metatarsal head, and soft tissue microcirculation may decrease when local pressure exceeds it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Three‐dimensional multi‐axial warp knitted (3D MWK) reinforced composites are important components of advanced structural composites. The interfacial bonding between fiber and matrix is key to achieving high mechanical properties. In this work, graphene oxide (GO) and poly(oxypropylene) diamines (D400) were grafted on glass fiber (GF) multi‐axial warp knitted (MWK) fabrics to construct a "flexible‐rigid" structure. The surface morphologies of GF were characterized by SEM and EDS. Then, 3D MWK‐reinforced composites were prepared based on four kinds of modified fabrics using the VARTM method. The in‐plane compression properties were obtained at different high temperatures and their failure modes were analyzed. The strain–stress curves showed that the composites exhibited brittle fracture modes. D400 and GO‐modified multi‐scale composites exhibited outstanding compression properties. The strength of the related composited was improved by 55.78%, 76.78%, 52.19%, and 56.78% compared to that of desized composite at 30°C, 60°C, 120°C and 150°C, respectively. The damage to D400‐GO modified and D400 modified composites was the most serious, where shear fracture modes were obvious in addition to layer debonding features. This protocol provides a potential strategy to manufacture of D400 and GO‐modified hierarchical reinforced composites. Highlights: The modified 3D MWK glass fabrics based on poly(oxypropylene) diamines (D400) and graphene oxide (GO) were prepared.The compressive properties of 3D desized, D400‐, D400‐GO‐, and GO‐MWK fabrics reinforced epoxy composites were obtained and analyzed at different temperatures of 30°C, 60°C, 120°C, and 150°C.The failure mechanisms of 3D desized, D400‐, D400‐GO‐, and GO‐MWK fabrics reinforced epoxy composites at different temperatures were analyzed.

Activating autologous stem cells after the implantation of biomaterials is an important process to initiate bone regeneration. Although several studies have demonstrated the mechanism of biomaterial‐mediated bone regeneration, a comprehensive single‐cell level transcriptomic map revealing the influence of biomaterials on regulating the temporal and spatial expression patterns of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is still lacking. Herein, the osteoimmune microenvironment is depicted around the classical collagen/nanohydroxyapatite‐based bone repair materials via combining analysis of single‐cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics. A group of functional MSCs with high expression of matrix Gla protein (Mgp) is identified, which may serve as a pioneer subpopulation involved in bone repair. Remarkably, these Mgp high‐expressing MSCs (MgphiMSCs) exhibit efficient osteogenic differentiation potential and orchestrate the osteoimmune microenvironment around implanted biomaterials, rewiring the polarization and osteoclastic differentiation of macrophages through the Mdk/Lrp1 ligand–receptor pair. The inhibition of Mdk/Lrp1 activates the pro‐inflammatory programs of macrophages and osteoclastogenesis. Meanwhile, multiple immune‐cell subsets also exhibit close crosstalk between MgphiMSCs via the secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) signaling pathway. These cellular profiles and interactions characterized in this study can broaden the understanding of the functional MSC subpopulations at the early stage of biomaterial‐mediated bone regeneration and provide the basis for materials‐designed strategies that target osteoimmune modulation.

For obtaining flame retardant, oil resistance, high strength, and softness EVA/POE‐g‐MAH composites for cables, multifunctional modified magnesium hydroxide (MH‐KH570), and aluminum hydroxide (ATH‐KH570) were prepared by grafting γ‐(methacryloyloxy) propyltrimethoxysilane (KH570) onto the surface of MH and ATH. The successful grafting was confirmed by Fourier‐transform infrared spectrometer, scanning electron microscope, thermogravimetric analysis, and contact angle test. The hydrophobicity of MH and ATH was enhanced and the decompose time was extended, called the "sustained release" effect. The ethylene‐vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA)/maleic anhydride grafted polyolefin elastomer (POE‐g‐MAH) composites containing 62.5 wt% the mixture of MH‐KH570 and ATH‐KH570 in a 1:1 mass ratio was prepared. The vertical combustion test, limited oxygen index (LOI), and cone calorimetry proved the flame retardancy performance of the EVA/POE‐g‐MAH composites were enhanced, because of the homogeneous dispersion and the "sustained release" effect of MH‐KH570 and ATH‐KH570. The vertical combustion and LOI reached V‐0 and 38.1%. Importantly, the "crosslinking" effect of MH‐KH570 and ATH‐KH570 further enhanced the tensile strength after the composites crosslinked, and reached 19.9 MPa. In a word, a simple method for preparing flame retardant EVA/POE‐g‐MAH composites with high tensile strength was provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
