摘要：肿瘤微环境中的血管生成是肿瘤细胞对放化疗不敏感的主要原因.在本项研究中,我们设计了一种微环境响应型的纳米颗粒,利用ZrMOF的分解产物抑制肿瘤细胞中的PI3K/AKT/mTOR/VEGF通路,从而克服A549R细胞对顺铂的耐药性.我们将顺铂包裹在Zr-MOF中,并在表面修饰BSA,形成了CDDP@Zr-MOF-BSA纳米复合体,该复合体在肿瘤微环境中有良好的响应性,有助于在肿瘤区域蓄积,展现出卓越的血管生成抑制能力,并能明显降低药物的外排.此外,CDDP@Zr-MOFBSA能显著抑制多药耐药相关蛋白1(MRP1)的表达,从而逆转A549R细胞的耐药性.总体而言,CDDP@Zr-MOF-BSA对A549R有细胞毒性,能抑制肿瘤微环境中的血管生成,最终有效提高顺铂耐药肿瘤的治疗效果.CDDP@Zr-MOF-BSA为放化疗治疗耐药肿瘤提供了一种多功能协同的方法.

摘要：理解铁电材料畴结构在低温条件下的翻转行为,对于铁电物理以及其在宽温域的应用都非常重要;然而,目前在低温条件下直接观测介观尺度下的畴翻转仍然面临着巨大的挑战.本论文利用铁酸铋(BiFeO_(3))作为模型来研究3.6–260 K温度范围内的铁电畴翻转行为.菱形相的BiFeO_(3)在温度为130 K时观测到了明显的铁电保持失效现象;这是因为BiFeO_(3)在130 K附近有较大的热释电系数,从而使其升温到该温度附近时释放了大量的热释电电荷,进而产生较强的退极化场,导致铁电极化翻转.另外,本论文还发现通过纳米尺度设计相界可以有效地抑制铁电保持失效.本研究为变温条件下,尤其是低温温域,研究铁电翻转提供了实验范式.

摘要：目的:对视网膜映射皮层区V1及V2的视觉调节作用进行初步探讨。方法:利用fMRI方法,对7例健康志愿者采用旋转及扩展棋盘格的视觉刺激进行视网膜皮层映射成像来确定早期视区的位置及大小;然后应用组块设计通过两个不同空间距离的楔形棋盘块进行视觉刺激,将V1及V2皮层区的激活采用ANOVA方法分析比较其变化及意义,以判定不同视区视觉内容的调节方式。结果:上视野对应的V2v区域激活变化显著(P=0.047),并且两个小楔形棋盘块在视野中及映射在皮层表面位置为空间最短距离时激活反应最强烈,激活强度随其中一个楔形棋盘块距离增加而衰减。在V2d区域,有显著调节趋势(P=0.054),在两个楔形棋盘块于同一视野而皮层投影最长距离时反应最弱。初级视皮层V1区域没有发现明显的变化趋势(P=0.073)。结论:视觉内容调节在早期视区主要发生在V2区域,V1区域没有调节功能。如果视觉刺激分别位于左右不同视野内时,V2区域也不发生调节作用。

摘要：We report on two strategies to design and implement the galvanometer-based laser-scanning mechanisms for the realization of reflectance confocal microscopy(RCM) and stimulated Raman scattering(SRS) microscopy systems. The RCM system uses a resonant galvanometer scanner driven by a home-built field-programmable gate array circuit with a novel dual-trigger mode and a home-built high-speed data acquisition card. The SRS system uses linear galvanometers with commercially available modules. We demonstrate video-rate high-resolution imaging at 11 frames per second of in vivo human skin with the RCM system and label-free biomolecular imaging of cancer cells with the SRS system. A comparison of the two strategies for controlling galvanometer scanners provides scientific and technical reference for future design and commercialization of various laser-scanning microscopes using galvanometers.

摘要：智能仿生软材料是近年来科学研究的重点之一.液晶高分子材料是众多软材料中最有发展潜力的材料之一.目前通过液晶高分子材料制备具有复杂功能和多种响应的仿生器件主要通过两种方法,其一是引入多种响应性基团,赋予材料多重响应.另一个是构建单一刺激下具有变形变色协同功能的材料.然而,结合这两种策略,构建既具有多重刺激响应,又能协同变形变色的新型液晶高分子仍然是一个挑战.为此,本工作通过结合光响应性液晶网络和亲水的聚(2-羧乙基丙烯酸酯共丙烯酸)层(PC),制备了一种光和湿度双重响应的软驱动器.在紫外光的驱动下,偶氮苯的分子异构驱动复合薄膜的各向异性形变.环境湿度的变化能使亲水的PC层发生溶胀和脱水,使薄膜发生另一模式的形变.由于薄膜内部荧光分子与水分子的协同作用,PC膜的荧光强度增强.由于整合了双重响应性和协同行为,这种新型的双响应驱动器在制造智能软体机器人方面具有较大的潜力.通过合理的设计,我们制备了一个光驱动的智能软体机器人.该机器人表现出检测水、改变运动模式和荧光强度的能力,在构筑具有识别、响应和自我调整能力的多功能软体机器人方面具有实际应用潜力.
