BACKGROUND: Nowadays, biological tissue engineering is a growing field of research. Biocompatibility is a key indicator for measuring tissue engineering biomaterials, which is of great significance for the replacement and repair of damaged tissues. METHODS: In this study, using gelatin, carboxymethyl chitosan, and sodium alginate, a tissue engineering material scaffold that can carry cells was successfully prepared. The material was characterized by Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy. In addition, the prepared scaffolds have physicochemical properties, such as swelling ratio, biodegradability. we observed the biocompatibility of the hydrogel to different adult stem cells (BMSCs and ADSCs) in vivo and in vitro. Adult stem cells were planted on gelatin-carboxymethyl chitosan-sodium alginate (Gel/SA/CMCS) hydrogels for 7 days in vitro, and the survival of stem cells in vitro was observed by live/died staining. Gel/SA/CMCS hydrogels loaded with stem cells were subcutaneously transplanted into nude mice for 14 days of in vivo culture observation. The survival of adult stem cells was observed by staining for stem cell surface markers (CD29, CD90) and Ki67. RESULTS: The scaffolds had a microporous structure with an appropriate pore size (about 80 lm). Live/died staining showed that adult stem cells could stably survive in Gel/SA/CMCS hydrogels for at least 7 days. After 14 days of culture in nude mice, Ki67 staining showed that the stem cells supported by Gel/SA/CMCS hydrogel still had high proliferation activity. CONCLUSION: Gel/SA/CMCSs hydrogel has a stable interpenetrating porous structure, suitable swelling performance and degradation rate, can promote and support the survival of adult stem cells in vivo and in vitro, and has good biocompatibility. Therefore, Gel/SA/CMCS hydrogel is a strong candidate for biological tissue engineering materials.

Wang, Yanting,Hodas, Nathan O.,Jung, Yousung,Marcus, R. A. Royal Society of Chemistry 2011 Physical chemistry chemical physics Vol.13 No.12

<P>The air/water interface was simulated and the mode amplitudes and their ratios of the effective nonlinear sum-frequency generation (SFG) susceptibilities (<I>A</I><SUB>eff</SUB>'s) were calculated for the <I>ssp</I>, <I>ppp</I>, and <I>sps</I> polarization combinations and compared with experiments. By designating “surface-sensitive” free OH bonds on the water surface, many aspects of the SFG measurements were calculated and compared with those inferred from experiment. We calculate an average tilt angle close to the SFG observed value of 35, an average surface density of free OH bonds close to the experimental value of about 2.8 × 10<SUP>18</SUP> m<SUP>−2</SUP>, computed ratios of <I>A</I><SUB>eff</SUB>'s that are very similar to those from the SFG experiment, and their absolute values that are in reasonable agreement with experiment. A one-parameter model was used to calculate these properties. The method utilizes results available from independent IR and Raman experiments to obtain some of the needed quantities, rather than calculating them <I>ab initio</I>.

Double Sieve Collision Attack Based on Bitwise Detection

( Yanting Ren ),( Liji Wu ),( An Wang ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2015 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.9 No.1

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is widely used for protecting wireless sensor network (WSN). At the Workshop on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems (CHES) 2012, Gerard et al. proposed an optimized collision attack and break a practical implementation of AES. However, the attack needs at least 256 averaged power traces and has a high computational complexity because of its byte wise operation. In this paper, we propose a novel double sieve collision attack based on bitwise collision detection, and an improved version with an error-tolerant mechanism. Practical attacks are successfully conducted on a software implementation of AES in a low-power chip which can be used in wireless sensor node. Simulation results show that our attack needs 90% less time than the work published by Gerard et al. to reach a success rate of 0.9.

Resveratrol Exerts Dosage-Dependent Effects on the Self-Renewal and Neural Differentiation of hUC-MSCs

Wang, Xinxin,Ma, Shanshan,Meng, Nan,Yao, Ning,Zhang, Kun,Li, Qinghua,Zhang, Yanting,Xing, Qu,Han, Kang,Song, Jishi,Yang, Bo,Guan, Fangxia Korean Society for Molecular and Cellular Biology 2016 Molecules and cells Vol.39 No.5

Resveratrol (RES) plays a critical role in the fate of cells and longevity of animals via activation of the sirtuins1 (SIRT1) gene. In the present study, we intend to investigate whether RES could promote the self-renewal and neural-lineage differentiation in human umbilical cord derived MSCs (hUC-MSCs) in vitro at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to $10{\mu}M$, and whether it exerts the effects by modulating the SIRT1 signaling. Herein, we demonstrated that RES at the concentrations of 0.1, 1 and $2.5{\mu}M$ could promote cell viability and proliferation, mitigate senescence and induce expression of SIRT1 and Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) while inhibit the expression of p53 and p16. However, the effects were reversed by 5 and $10{\mu}M$ of RES. Furthermore, RES could promote neural differentiation in a dose-dependent manner as evidenced by morphological changes and expression of neural markers (Nestin, ${\beta}III-tubulin$ and NSE), as well as pro-neural transcription factors Neurogenin (Ngn)1, Ngn2 and Mash1. Taken together, RES exerts a dosage-dependent effect on the self-renewal and neural differentiation of hUC-MSCs via SIRT1 signaling. The current study provides a new strategy to regulate the fate of hUC-MSCs and suggests a more favorable in vitro cell culture conditions for hUCMSCs-based therapies for some intractable neurological disorders.

Hao-Kai Peng,YanTing Wang,Ting-Ting Li,Ching-Wen Lou,XiaoXiao Wang,Jia-Horng Lin 한국섬유공학회 2020 Fibers and polymers Vol.21 No.4

In order to make conductive woven fabrics with electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) and flameretardance, polysufonamide (PSA)/stainless steel (SS) core yarn are used as the weft yarns and PSA yarns are used as thewarp yarns. The conductive woven fabrics are denoted as SS-60, SS-80, SS-100, SS-120, and SS-140 according to the twistcounts of the core yarn, and evaluated in terms of mechanical properties, flame retardance, surface resistivity. The test resultsshow that the best twist of the core yarn is 120 turns/10 cm. SS-60 has the maximum burnt length, while SS-140 has theminimum burnt length. Moreover, the surface resistivity of the PSA/SS woven fabrics is proportional to the twist counts, andthe surface resistivity along the warp direction is higher than that along the weft direction. Changing the fabric laminationangle can form a complete shielding network, and the EMSE is significantly increased. For SS-80, SS-100, and SS-120,when they are composed of 4-6 layers with lamination angles of 0 o/45 o/90 o/-45 o/0 o/45 o and 0 o/90 o/0 o/90 o/0 o/90 o, theEMSE is above 40 dB and the shielding effect is above 99.99 % against the incident waves at 2000-3000 MHz. Specifically,SS-120 has the maximum EMSE of 64 dB against incident waves at 2844 MHz.

Understanding soybean (Glycine max) domestication and improvement at a genetic level is important to inform future efforts to further improve a crop that provides the world's main source of oilseed. We detect 230 selective sweeps and 162 selected copy number variants by analysis of 302 resequenced wild, landrace and improved soybean accessions at >11× depth. A genome-wide association study using these new sequences reveals associations between 10 selected regions and 9 domestication or improvement traits, and identifies 13 previously uncharacterized loci for agronomic traits including oil content, plant height and pubescence form. Combined with previous quantitative trait loci (QTL) information, we find that, of the 230 selected regions, 96 correlate with reported oil QTLs and 21 contain fatty acid biosynthesis genes. Moreover, we observe that some traits and loci are associated with geographical regions, which shows that soybean populations are structured geographically. This study provides resources for genomics-enabled improvements in soybean breeding.

A novel negative dislocated seal and influential parameter analyses of static/rotordynamic characteristics

Dan Sun,Xudong Wang,Chengwei Fei,Shuang Wang,Yanting Ai 대한기계학회 2018 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.32 No.9

This paper proposes a new type of negative dislocated seal (NDS) based on the dislocated bearing theory to investigate the influential parameters of static rotor eccentricity and dislocated ratio on the static and rotordynamic characteristics of an example seal solved with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) the flow field. The rotordynamic characteristics of the NDS were investigated in respect of the effects of rotor whirling frequency on response force, stiffness coefficients, damping coefficients and rotor system stability, by multifrequency elliptical orbit rotor whirling model. Based on the studies, we reached the following conclusions. The circumferential pressure distribution of NDS and conventional labyrinth seal (LS) presents sine periodic variation approximately, while relative to the LS, the NDS has two divergent wedge gaps and reduces the hydrodynamic pressure effects, then the circumferential pressure difference and tangential force on rotor surface decreases by about 40 %~190 %. The leakage of the NDS linearly increases with the rising eccentricity ratio and dislocation ratio approximately, and is larger (about 0.9 %~1.5 %) than the LS. The direct stiffness coefficients of the two seals increase with the rise of rotor whirling frequency, while the absolute values of both the cross-coupled stiffness coefficients and the damping coefficients decrease with raising rotor whirling frequency. Compared with the LS, the NDS has smaller (about 28.8 %~206.2 %) cross-coupled stiffness coefficient, larger (about 26.15 %~60.39 %) effective damping coefficient, and good stability of rotor system. This study has developed a novel seal structure to improve the seal performance of turbomachinery such as aeroengine.

Xuanji Zhang,Ni Deng,Xianjia Chen,Yanting Yang,Jing Li,BO HONG,DINGFENG JIN,Xiaoling Peng,XINQING WANG,Hongliang Ge,HONGXIAO JIN 성균관대학교(자연과학캠퍼스) 성균나노과학기술원 2019 NANO Vol.14 No.3

In2O3 and metal-doped (Ni or Ce) In2O3 mesoporous three-dimensional (3D) nanospheres arrays were synthesized via nanocasting using mesoporous silica as hard templates. Effects of Ni or Ce doping on the structure, optical and gas-sensing properties of the In2O3 nanospheres were investigated. Both the undoped and the doped In2O3 nanospheres showed single-phase structure without any impurity. The nanospheres were about 20 nm in size and they stacked closely to formrigid 3D mesoporous structure. Achange in the value of optical band gap was observed upon metal doping. The room temperature photo luminescence behavior also showed some differences between pure and doped In2O3. Compared with pure In2O3 nanospheres, the metal-doped In2O3 exhibited superior response, fast recovery and good selectivity to ethanol. The enhanced gas-sensing properties might be related to the doping of metal ion and its effective contribution towards the oxygen vacancies, conductivity and crystallite size of the grains.
