ABSTRACT
In recent years, China's advanced light sources have entered a period of rapid construction and development. As modern X-ray detectors and data acquisition technologies advance, these facilities are expected to generate massive volumes of data annually, presenting significant challenges in data management and utilization. These challenges encompass data storage, metadata handling, data transfer and user data access. In response, the Data Organization Management Access Software (DOMAS) has been designed as a framework to address these issues. DOMAS encapsulates four fundamental modules of data management software, including metadata catalogue, metadata acquisition, data transfer and data service. For light source facilities, building a data management system only requires parameter configuration and minimal code development within DOMAS. This paper firstly discusses the development of advanced light sources in China and the associated demands and challenges in data management, prompting a reconsideration of data management software framework design. It then outlines the architecture of the framework, detailing its components and functions. Lastly, it highlights the application progress and effectiveness of DOMAS when deployed for the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) and Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility (BSRF).
ABSTRACT
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the influence of the build angle on the surface characteristics, accuracy, and dimensional stability of digital light processing (DLP) printed resin bases. Material and methods: Rectangular and complete denture base samples were fabricated at 0, 45, and 90-degree angles (n = 5 for rectangular samples; n = 10 for maxillary and mandibular denture base samples) using a DLP printer. Surface morphology and roughness were assessed using a profilometer, followed by measuring hydrophilicity with a contact angle meter. Accuracy (trueness and precision) and dimensional stability were evaluated at intervals of 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, and 42 days after base printing using best-fit-alignment and deviation analysis in 3D software. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA for surface characteristics (α = 0.05), multi-way ANOVA for accuracy and dimensional stability data, and Tukey's test for post-hoc comparisons. Results: The 0-degree group exhibited significantly lower mean roughness (1.27 ± 0.19 µm) and contact angle (80.50 ± 3.71°) (P < 0.001) compared to the 90-degree and 45-degree groups. The 0-degree build angle led to superior trueness (maxilla: 77.80 ± 9.35 µm, mandible: 61.67 ± 10.32 µm) and precision (maxilla: 27.51 ± 7.43 µm, mandible: 53.50 ± 15.16 µm) compared to other groups (P < 0.001). Maxillary base precision was superior to mandibular base precision (P < 0.001). The maxillary base exhibited less dimensional deviation than the mandibular base. The 90-degree group showed the highest deviation compared to the other two groups, and all groups' deviations increased over time (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The build angle significantly influences the surface characteristics, accuracy, and dimensional stability of DLP-printed denture bases. A 0-degree build angle provides the most favorable performance. The maxillary base displayed superior precision and dimensional stability than the mandibular base.
ABSTRACT
Dendritic cells (DCs) are important to the immune system and are frequently recruited to hypoxic regions, especially during acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Emerging data indicate that histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors possess immunomodulatory functions. We previously showed in a rat model of AMI that the HDAC inhibitor TSA improved tissue repair, and this was accompanied by increased DC infiltration in the infarct region, suggesting an important role of TSA in modulating DC functions. To study the potential modulatory effect of TSA on DCs, we exploited an in vitro model of hypoxia and glucose deprivation. Culturing of DCs in the presence of 200 nM TSA improved DC survival under hypoxia and glucose deprivation. However, on a phenotypic level, TSA induced the expression of the DC co-stimulatory molecules CD80 and CD86, decreased FITC-dextran uptake, and facilitated DC migration. Moreover, TSA altered cytokine secretion by reducing the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1ß, IL-10, IL-12, and TGF-ß. Furthermore, TSA treatment enhanced HIF-1α-dependent glycolytic gene expression and increased pyruvate kinase M2 by upregulating SRSF3. These results suggest that by TSA alters important DC functions under hypoxia and glucose deprivation, and that TSA is critical for DC function by modulating SRSF3-PKM2-dependent glycolytic pathways.
