The Bulk Osteosarcoma and Osteosarcoma Stem Cell Activity of a Necroptosis-Inducing Nickel(II)–Phenanthroline Complex

We report the anti-osteosarcoma and anti-osteosarcoma stem cell (OSC) properties of a nickel(II) complex, 1 . Complex 1 displays similar potency towards bulk osteosarcoma cells and OSCs, in the micromolar range. Notably, 1 displays similar or better OSC potency than the clinically approved platinum(II) anticancer drugs cisplatin and carboplatin in two- and three-dimensional osteosarcoma cell cultures. Mechanistic studies revealed that 1 induces osteosarcoma cell death by necroptosis, an ordered form of necrosis. The nickel(II) complex, 1 triggers necrosome-dependent mitrochondrial membrane depolarisation and propidium iodide uptake. Interestingly, 1 does not evoke necroptosis by elevating intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) or hyperactivation of poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP-1). ROS elevation and PARP-1 activity are traits that have been observed for established necroptosis inducers such as shikonin, TRAIL and glutamate. Thus the necroptosis pathway evoked by 1 is distinct. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report into the anti-osteosarcoma and anti-OSC properties of a nickel complex.     

电弧离子镀NiAlHf涂层的抗高温氧化性能

目的通过电弧离子镀技术,获得抗氧化性能优良的NiAl涂层。方法采用电弧离子镀技术,在弧流为110 A,偏压为-50 V的参数下沉积NiAlHf涂层。通过X射线衍射仪(XRD)和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)对涂层的物相结构和形貌进行分析,通过能谱仪(EDS)分析涂层的成分。采用恒温氧化增重实验对涂层的氧化动力学进行分析。结果由电弧离子镀技术制备的NiAl涂层致密均匀,无大颗粒、孔洞等缺陷。涂层主要由β-NiAl相组成,活性元素Hf固溶在主相中。NiAlHf涂层表现出良好的抗高温氧化性能,动力学曲线符合抛物线规律,在1150℃下恒温氧化200h的平均氧化速率为0.0841g/(m^2×h),远优于传统MCrAlY涂层体系。NiAlHf涂层在氧化初期形成保护性的α-Al2O3氧化皮以及少量亚稳态的θ-Al2O3,随后θ-Al2O3逐渐转变为稳态的α-Al2O3。Hf在涂层表面富集从而形成HfO2,对氧化皮形成了钉扎作用,增强了氧化皮的粘附性,提高了涂层的抗氧化性能。随着氧化的进行,涂层中的β-NiAl相逐渐转变为γ'-Ni3Al相。结论 NiAlHf涂层在1150℃下仍具备优良的抗高温氧化性能,对下一代耐更高温度涂层开发,电弧离子镀NiAl涂层的技术推广及工业化应用有一定的指导作用。     

‘Nickel Allergy’ arising from decorative nickel plated and alloyed articles: prevention at source

This work builds on papers published in Transactions during 2015 and 2018 reporting research into low-cost commercial methods for the prevention of nickel release from decorative nickel plated articles, rendering them suitable for placement on the European market in accordance with the requirements of REACH. ‘Nickel Allergy’ sometimes occurs when nickel-containing articles are in direct and prolonged contact with the skin, leading to corrosion of elemental nickel by sweat, liberating sufficient nickel ions to be absorbed through the skin and initiate an allergenic effect. The EU ‘Nickel Restrictions’ impose limits on the amount of nickel released from articles intended for use in this application, but permits a non-nickel surface coating that can ensure the rate of nickel release does not exceed 0.5?µg?cm^?2 week^?1 after 2 years of normal use. The official tests for coated items are simulated wear and corrosion under EN 12472 followed by determination of nickel release under EN 1811. Earlier work concluded that suitable barrier coatings over bright electrodeposited nickel are regular chromium deposited from a hexavalent electrolyte, microporous trivalent chromium from a chloride electrolyte and UV cured PU electrophoretic coatings. Further tests reported here focused on nickel release from examples of wearable articles such as costume jewellery and watch cases. A typical flash coating of gold over bright nickel is thin and porous and being more noble, causes the rate of nickel release to be accelerated; but this can be prevented by an intermediate barrier coating of electrodeposited palladium. To round out the relevance of this study on wearable articles, nickel release tests were also conducted on nickel-containing Grades 304 (UNS S30400) and 316 (UNS S31600) austenitic stainless steels, plus a typical gold alloy containing nickel. All passed the nickel release tests satisfactorily.     

He+离子辐照Inconel 718合金表面形貌改变及机理研究

研究了3种不同剂量He⁺离子辐照后Inconel 718合金的形貌变化规律及其形成机理。结果表明，He⁺离子辐照会在合金表面形成纳米多孔结构，其孔径会随辐照剂量的增加而增大。此外，He⁺离子辐照还会破坏合金表面δ相并导致碳化物的持续溅射损耗，且这一现象会随着辐照剂量的增加而愈发严重。由于辐照过程中氦泡间微观应力σ n作用会引起毗邻材料断裂及氦泡合并长大，且辐照溅射作用又会导致氦泡上层薄膜的损耗甚至破裂，因而这也是He⁺离子辐照Inconel 718合金表面纳米多孔结构的形成机制。     

电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱法测定辛酸铑催化剂中铂钯铅铁铜铝镍

准确测定辛酸铑催化剂中杂质元素含量,是判定产品是否合格的重要指标之一。以往常采用直流电弧发射光谱法(摄谱法)进行检测,但测定周期长,且重复性较差。用电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱法(ICP-AES)测定辛酸铑催化剂中微量杂质元素时,辛酸铑催化剂样品中含有的大量有机组分和铑基体会对测定有严重干扰。实验采用反复滴加硝酸消解样品中有机组分,再用王水溶解盐类,选用合适背景点扣除的方式消除铑基体的干扰,建立了使用ICP-AES测定辛酸铑催化剂中0.001%~0.1%(质量分数)Pt、Pd、Pb、Fe、Cu、Al、Ni等7种微量杂质元素的方法。各元素在0.10~10.00μg/mL范围内与其发射强度呈线性关系,相关系数均大于0.9999;方法检出限(μg/mL)为0.075(Pt)、0.0033(Pd)、0.015(Pb)、0.0036(Fe)、0.010(Cu)、0.001(Al)、0.012(Ni)。实验方法用于测定辛酸铑催化剂样品中Pt、Pd、Pb、Fe、Cu、Al、Ni,结果的相对标准偏差为(RSD,n=7)为1.4%~9.6%。按照实验方法测定辛酸铑催化剂中Pt、Pd、Pb、Fe、Cu、Al、Ni,并与直流电弧发射光谱法的测定结果进行比对,结果相一致。     

Influence of nickel on secondary hardening of a modified AISI H13 hot work die steel

This paper focuses on the effects of nickel on secondary hardening of a modified H13 hot work die steel. Both the non‐nickel steel and the nickel‐added steel get a secondary hardening peak at 520 °C, and the secondary hardening peak trends to increase in the nickel‐added steel. On the basis of scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope observation, the rise of the secondary hardening peak is in connection with the precipitation of M₃C type carbides. More strip‐shaped and needle‐shaped M₃C type carbides precipitated from matrix. By means of internal friction, the result suggests that nickel does not affect the position of the Snoek‐Kê‐Köster peak, but the height of Snoek‐Kê‐Köster peak of the nickel‐added steel is higher, which indicates nickel enhances the interaction between dislocations and interstitial atoms, promoting the precipitation of carbides.     

氟橡胶包覆硝酸肼镍及其对雷管撞击感度的影响

利用水悬浮法将氟橡胶包覆在硝酸肼镍(NHN)表面制备出了NHN造型粉,并将其应用于基础雷管。通过DSC研究了NHN造型粉的热性能，测试了NHN造型粉的机械感度和火焰感度以及工业基础雷管的撞击感度和起爆能力。研究结果表明:氟橡胶包覆能够提高NHN的热稳定性，且热稳定性随着氟橡胶包覆量的增加而提高；NHN造型粉的机械感度均低于原料NHN，当氟橡胶包覆量（质量分数）为9%时，撞击感度下降幅度明显，可达142.9%；NHN造型粉用在基础雷管中做起爆药，可以降低基础雷管的撞击感度并保持其起爆能力。     

脉冲频率对纳米晶镍镀层结构及性能的影响

采用脉冲电沉积方法在黄铜基体上制备纳米晶镍镀层。研究了脉冲频率对镀镍层的微观结构、硬度及耐蚀性的影响。结果表明:直流电沉积制备的镀镍层表现为(111)晶面和(200)晶面的双择优取向,而脉冲电沉积制备的镀镍层仅在(111)晶面表现出择优取向;脉冲电沉积制备的镀镍层的硬度和耐蚀性均高于直流电沉积制备的镀镍层的;不同脉冲频率下制备的镀镍层的硬度没有显著差别,约为5 500 MPa;但不同脉冲频率下制备的镀镍层的耐蚀性存在差别,脉冲频率为0.1kHz时制备的镀镍层在3.5%的NaCl溶液中的耐蚀性最好。
