ABSTRACT
Aiming at the existing high-temperature liquid metal flow online accurate measurement by the metal melt characteristics, installation space, and high-temperature environment adaptability limitations, this paper innovatively puts forward a soft measurement method based on the impact force generated in the fluid flow process as an observational variable series. Fluid mechanics theory and simulation software are used to analyze and verify the feasibility of the impact force as an observable variable to measure the flow rate, followed by the construction of the CNN-LSTM-CNN-Double (CLCD) flow measurement model of impact force and flow rate based on the parameters of the learning rate and the number of training times, and finally the construction of a test platform for the flow measurement, and the validity of the method is verified through actual operation.
ABSTRACT
Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) have a unique morphological structure known as "fenestra" that plays a crucial role in liver substance exchange and homeostasis maintenance. In this study, we demonstrate that ADAMTS18 protease is primarily secreted by fetal liver endothelial cells. ADAMTS18 deficiency leads to enlarged fenestrae and increased porosity of LSECs, microthrombus formation in liver vessels, and an imbalance of liver oxidative stress. These defects worsen carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver fibrosis and diethylnitrosamine (DEN)/high-fat-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in adult Adamts18-deficient mice. Mechanically, ADAMTS18 functions as a modifier of fibronectin (FN) to regulate the morphological acquisition of LSECs via the vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) signaling pathways. Collectively, a mechanism is proposed for LSEC morphogenesis and liver homeostasis maintenance via ADAMTS18-FN-VEGFA niches.
ABSTRACT
Developing effective electrochemiluminescence (ECL) platforms is always an essential concern in highly sensitive bioanalysis. In this work, a low-triggering-potential ECL sensor was designed for detecting synthetic cathinone 3,4-methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) based on a dual-signal amplification strategy. Initially, a probe was created by integrating Ruthenium into the hollow porphyrin-based MOF (PCN-222) structure to decrease the excitation potential and enhance ECL performance without external co-reaction accelerators. Additionally, for the first time, photonic crystals (PCs) assembled from covalent organic frameworks (COFs) were employed to amplify the ECL signal, thereby increasing the photon flux and the loading capacity of the ECL emitter to enhance sensitivity of the sensor. In the presence of the target MDPV, the aptamer labeled with Ferrocene (Fc) experienced conformational changes, causing Fc to approach the luminophore and resulting in ECL quenching. This effect was attributed to aptamer's conformational changes induced by the target, directly correlating with the target concentration. The constructed sensor showed good linearity with the target MDPV concentration, covering a dynamic range from 1.0 × 10-14 to 1.0 × 10-6 g/L and achieved an ultra-low detection limit of 4.79 × 10-15 g/L. This work employed dual amplification strategies to enhance ECL signals effectively, providing a novel method for developing highly responsive and bioactive sensors.
