Due to the lightweight and compliance, fabric-based pneumatic exosuits are promising in the assistance and rehabilitation of elbow impairments. However, existing elbow exosuits generally suffer from remarkable mechanical resistance on the flexion of the elbow, thus limiting the output force, range of motion(ROM), and comfortability. To address these challenges, we develop a fabric-based soft elbow exosuit with an adaptive mechanism and composite bellows in this work. With the elbow kinesiology considered, the adaptive mechanism is fabricated by sewing the interface of the exosuit into spring-like triangle pleats, following the profile of the elbow to elongate or contract when the elbow flexes or extends. The composite bellows are implemented by further sealing a single blade of bellows into two branches to enhance the output force. Based on these structural features, we characterize the mechanical performance of different soft elbow exosuits: exosuit with normal bellows-NB, exosuit with adaptive mechanism and normal bellows-AMNB, exosuit with adaptive mechanism and composite bellows-AMCB. Experimental results demonstrate that by comparing with NB, the mechanical resistance of AMNB and AMCB decreases by 80.6% and 78.6%, respectively;on the other hand, the output torque of AMNB and AMCB increases to 120.3% and 207.0%, respectively, at50 k Pa when the joint angle is 120°. By wearing these exosuits on a wooden arm model(1.25 kg), we further verify that AMCB can cover a full ROM of 0°–130° at the elbow with 500 g weight. Finally, the application on a health volunteer with AMCB shows that when the volunteer flexes the elbow to lift a weight of 500 g, the s EMG activity of the biceps and triceps is markedly reduced.

Along with the improvement of social productivity and living standard,residential buildings generate a growing portion of carbon emissions,especially during the operation stage.However,energy use behaviors are usually ignored in carbon emission calculation.This study focuses on calculating carbon emissions during the operation stage for residential buildings based on the characteristics of energy use behaviors in different regions.Firstly,we investigated energy use behaviors in dwellings across three cities in China:Xi'an,Shanghai and Fuzhou.Then,we established calibrated carbon emission models and optimization models with different green building measures for residential buildings.The results of this research reveal a significant disparity between the energy usage habits of residents in different climate regions.The carbon emissions of residential electricity bills in Xi'an,Shanghai and Fuzhou are 13.6 kgCO_(2)/(m^(2)·a)(excluding central heating),29.3 kgCO_(2)/(m^(2)·a)and 17.2 kgCO_(2)/(m^(2)·a),respectively.Equipment carbon emissions account for 32.2%-64.1% of the total.In comparison to the model based on internal standard setting,the accuracy of the models using actual internal has improved by 25.9%-37.4%.The three-star green building methods have the highest carbon reduction rate among different star buildings,the emission reduction rates are around 30%.This study's findings are useful for carbon emission calculation and green building design of residential buildings in the future.

Meiotic recombination is essential for sexual reproduction and its regulation has been extensively studied in many taxa.However,genome-wide recombination landscape has not been reported in ciliates and it remains unknown how it is affected by the unique features of ciliates:the synaptonemal complex(SC)-independent meiosis and the nuclear dimorphism.Here,we show the recombination landscape in the model ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila by analyzing single-nucleotide polymorphism datasets from 38 hybrid progeny.We detect 1021 crossover(CO)events(35.8 per meiosis),corresponding to an overall CO rate of 9.9 cM/Mb.However,gene conversion by non-crossover is rare(1.03 per meiosis)and not biased towards G or C alleles.Consistent with the reported roles of SC in CO interference,we find no obvious sign of CO interference.CO tends to occur within germ-soma common genomic regions and many of the 44 identified CO hotspots localize at the centromeric or subtelomeric regions.Gene ontology analyses show that CO hotspots are strongly associated with genes responding to environmental changes.We discuss these results with respect to how nuclear dimorphism has potentially driven the formation of the observed recombination landscape to facilitate environmental adaptation and the sharing of machinery among meiotic and somatic recombination.

Egfr,a member of the ErbB gene family,plays a critical role in tissue development and homeostasis,wound healing,and disease.However,expression and regulators of Egfr during spinal cord development remain poorly understood.In this study,we investigated ErbB evolution and analyzed co-expression modules,miRNAs,and transcription factors that may regulate Egfr expression in rats.We found that ErbB family members formed via Egfr duplication in the ancient ve rtebrates but dive rged after speciation of gnathostomes.We identified a module that was co-expressed with Egfr,which involved cell proliferation and blood vessel development.We predicted 25 miRNAs and nine transcription factors that may regulate Egfr expression.Dual-luciferase reporter assays showed six out of nine transcription factors significantly affected Egfr promoter reporter activity.Two of these transcription factors(KLF1 and STAT3)inhibited the Egfr promoter repo rter,whereas four transcription factors(including FOXA2)activated the Egfr promoter reporter.Real-time PCR and immunofluorescence expe riments showed high expression of FOXA2 during the embryonic period and FOXA2 was expressed in the floor plate of the spinal cord,suggesting the importance of FOXA2 during embryonic spinal cord development.Considering the importance of Egfr in embryonic spinal cord development,wound healing,and disease(specifically in cancer),regulatory elements identified in this study may provide candidate targets for nerve regeneration and disease treatment in the future.

The migration and transformation of phosphorus components in wastewater treatment plants(WWTPs)play a crucial role in the convergence and circulation of phosphorus.However,the composition and variation of dissolved organic phosphorus(DOP)in WWTPs were unclear because of its complex nature,hindering its efficient detection.In this study,the DOP species and their transformation during the treatment process in WWTP were comprehensively analyzed.First,two enrichment methods were assessed for their effectiveness at facilitating wastewater analysis:lyophilization and aluminum salt precipitation.Aluminum salt precipitation was found to be better because its application allowed 31P nuclear magnetic resonance(31P NMR)spectroscopy to identify more species in the secondary effluent:orthophosphate(Ortho-P)(81.1%–89.3%of the dissolved total phosphorus),pyrophosphates(Pyro-P)(0%–2.3%),orthophosphate monoesters(Mono-P)(7.0%–10.77%),orthophosphate diesters(Di-P)(1.0%–2.96%),and phosphonate(Phos-P)(1.7%–5.16%).Furthermore,the variation and transformation mechanism of phosphorus,particularly those of DOP,during the entire sewage-treatment process were elucidated.Among the treatment steps,biological treatment combined tertiary treatment achieved better DOP removal efficiencies.Therein,biological treatment mainly removed Mono-P and Di-P with removal efficiencies of 33.3%and 41.7%compared with the effluent of the grit chamber.Di-P has higher bioavailability and is more easily converted and utilized by microorganisms than Mono-P.However,Phos-P,with low bioavailability,was hardly utilized by microorganisms,which showed only 18.4%removal efficiency in biological treatment.In tertiary treatment,coagulation process exhibited higher removal ability of Ortho-P(69.1%)and partial removal efficiencies of DOP,resulting in an increase in the DOP proportion in TP.In addition,Phos-P could not be effectively removed through the biological treatment and was only partially reduced via the adsorption process by large particles,zoogloea or multinuclear

Sepsis is a potentially fatal condition characterized by the failure of one or more organs due to a disordered host response to infection.The development of sepsis is closely linked to immune dysfunction.As a result,immunotherapy has gained traction as a promising approach to sepsis treatment,as it holds the potential to reverse immunosuppression and restore immune balance,thereby improving the prognosis of septic patients.However,due to the highly heterogeneous nature of sepsis,it is crucial to carefully select the appropriate patient population for immunotherapy.This review summarizes the current and evolved treatments for sepsis-induced immunosuppression to enhance clinicians'understanding and practical application of immunotherapy in the management of sepsis.

Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei(BTH)and its surrounding areas are very important to air pollution control in China.To analyze the characteristics of BTH and its surrounding areas of China,we collected 5,641,440 air quality data from 161 air monitoring stations and 37,123,000 continuous monitoring data from air polluting enterprises in BTH and surrounding cities to establish an indicator system for urban air quality portraits.The results showed that particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters of<2.5μm(PM2.5),particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters of<10μm(PM10)and SO2 improved significantly in 31 cities from2015 to 2018,but ozone deteriorated.Air quality in BTH and the surrounding areas showed obvious seasonal characteristics,among which PM2.5,PM10,SO2,and NO2 showed a"U"type distribution from January to December,while O3 had an"inverted U"distribution.The hourly changes in air quality revealed that peaks of PM2.5,PM10 and NO2 appeared from 8:00 to 10:00,while those for O3 appeared at 15:00–16:00.The exposure characteristics of the 31 cities showed that six districts in Beijing had the highest air quality population exposure,and that exposure levels in Zhengzhou,Puyang,Anyang,Jincheng were higher than the average of the 31 investigated cities.Additionally,multiple linear regression revealed a negative correlation between meteorological factors(especially wind and precipitation)and air quality,while a positive correlation existed between industrial pollution emissions and air quality in most of BTH and its surrounding cities.

Powder metallurgy is important in material preparation.Due to the inertness of carbon materials,however,sintering powdered carbon into physically coherent bulks has been a great challenge even at a high temperature(2000).Improving the sintering activity of carbon powders is℃the key to the success of the consolidation of the carbon powders.Here ordered mesoporous carbon(OMC)is used as the starting material to produce highly homogeneous novel carbon bulks.During sintering at 1800,the huge specific surface area of the OMC greatly promotes the migration of℃carbon atoms and thus the sintering of the OMC by surface diffusion mechanism.When nanodiamond(ND)is added,the volume expansion associated with the phase transformation of diamond to graphite facilitates the densification of the powder compacts.The strong connection between the OMC and the graphite onions derived from the ND bestows the as-prepared carbon bulks with excellent mechanical properties.The current research pioneers a novel way to prepare high-strength carbon materials at relatively low temperatures.

Schwann cells in peripheral nerves react to traumatic nerve injury by attempting to grow and regenerate.Howeve r,it is unclear what factors play a role in this process.In this study,we searched a GEO database and found that expression of platelet factor 4 was markedly up-regulated after sciatic nerve injury.Platelet factor is an important molecule in cell apoptosis,diffe rentiation,survival,and proliferation.Further,polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical staining confirmed the change in platelet factor 4 in the sciatic nerve at different time points after injury.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay confirmed that platelet factor 4 was secreted by Schwann cells.We also found that silencing platelet factor 4 decreased the proliferation and migration of primary cultured Schwann cells,while exogenously applied platelet factor 4 stimulated Schwann cell prolife ration and migration and neuronal axon growth.Furthermore,knocking out platelet factor 4 inhibited the prolife ration of Schwann cells in injured rat sciatic nerve.These findings suggest that Schwann cell-secreted platelet factor 4 may facilitate peripheral nerve repair and regeneration by regulating Schwann cell activation and axon growth.Thus,platelet factor 4 may be a potential therapeutic target for traumatic peripheral nerve injury.
