Bacterial infections remain a leading threat to global health because of the misuse of antibiotics and the rise in drug-resistant pathogens. Although several strategies such as photothermal therapy and magneto-thermal therapy can suppress bacterial infections, excessive heat often damages host cells and lengthens the healing time. Here, a localized thermal managing strategy, thermal-disrupting interface induced mitigation (TRIM), is reported, to minimize intercellular cohesion loss for accurate antibacterial therapy. The TRIM dressing film is composed of alternative microscale arrangement of heat-responsive hydrogel regions and mechanical support regions, which enables the surface microtopography to have a significant effect on disrupting bacterial colonization upon infrared irradiation. The regulation of the interfacial contact to the attached skin confines the produced heat and minimizes the risk of skin damage during thermoablation. Quantitative mechanobiology studies demonstrate the TRIM dressing film with a critical dimension for surface features plays a critical role in maintaining intercellular cohesion of the epidermis during photothermal therapy. Finally, endowing wound dressing with the TRIM effect via in vivo studies in S. aureus infected mice demonstrates a promising strategy for mitigating the side effects of photothermal therapy against a wide spectrum of bacterial infections, promoting future biointerface design for antibacterial therapy. 相似文献

Creating a synthetic exoskeleton from abiotic materials to protect delicate mammalian cells and impart them with new functionalities could revolutionize fields like cell‐based sensing and create diverse new cellular phenotypes. Herein, the concept of “SupraCells,” which are living mammalian cells encapsulated and protected within functional modular nanoparticle‐based exoskeletons, is introduced. Exoskeletons are generated within seconds through immediate interparticle and cell/particle complexation that abolishes the macropinocytotic and endocytotic nanoparticle internalization pathways that occur without complexation. SupraCell formation is shown to be generalizable to wide classes of nanoparticles and various types of cells. It induces a spore‐like state, wherein cells do not replicate or spread on surfaces but are endowed with extremophile properties, for example, resistance to osmotic stress, reactive oxygen species, pH, and UV exposure, along with abiotic properties like magnetism, conductivity, and multifluorescence. Upon decomplexation cells return to their normal replicative states. SupraCells represent a new class of living hybrid materials with a broad range of functionalities. 相似文献

A new strategy for the synthesis of thiolated carboxymethyl chitosan-g-cyclodextrin nanoparticles by an ionic-gelation method is presented. The synthetic approach was based on the utilization of 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate during cyclodextrin grafting onto carboxymethyl chitosan. The use of the 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate resulted in reactions between cyclodextrin and active sites at the C6-position of chitosan, and preserved amino groups of chitosan for subsequent reactions with thioglycolic acid, as the thiolating agent, and tripolyphosphate, as the gelling counterion. Various methods such as scanning electron microscopy, rheology and in vitro release studies were employed to exhibit significant features of the nanoparticles for mucosal albendazole delivery applications. It was found that the thiolated carboxymethyl chitosan-g-cyclodextrin nanoparticles prepared using an aqueous solution containing 1 wt% of tripolyphosphate and having 115.65 (μmol/g polymer) of grafted thiol groups show both the highest mucoadhesive properties and the highest albendazole entrapment efficiency. The latter was confirmed theoretically by calculating the enthalpy of mixing of albendazole in the above thiolated chitosan polymer. 相似文献

Solid state reaction between LiNH2 and LiH potentially offers a practical pathway for hydrogen supply to fuel cell powered vehicles, particularly if the reaction kinetics can be further improved. Here we performed a comparative study of the effects of selected micron and nano-sized nitrides using temperature programmed desorption, mass spectrometry, X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. It was found that both micron and nano-sized BN and TiN act as effective catalysts within the system. While an increase in the concentration of TiN reduces dehydrogenation temperature, the opposite was observed for BN catalyst. Employment of both nano and micron-sized BN catalysts resulted in an almost similar dehydrogenation temperature; but dehydrogenation temperature was decreased about 20 °C by switching from micron to nano-sized TiN. The catalytic effects of the additives were proposed to be an improvement of surface reactivity and diffusion enhancement across the interface of the reactants. However, the role of BN and TiN are different in the way that TiN is likely to improve the surface reactivity of LiNH2, while BN mainly enhances diffusion across the interface of the reactants. Our findings also indicate that TiCl3 behaves like TiN, as a catalyst in Li-N-H system. 相似文献

The pendulum model is a cost effective tool for the simulation of sloshing. However, the accuracy and applicability of the model has not been well established. In this article, we compare the simulation results obtained from the pendulum model and a more complicated finite element model for sloshing of liquids in tanker trucks. In the pendulum model, we assume that the liquid in the tanker is a point mass oscillating like a frictionless pendulum subjected to an external acceleration. In the finite element model, we solve the full Navier-Stokes equations written for two fluids to obtain the location and motion of the free surface. Stabilized finite element formulations are used in these complex 3D simulations. These finite element formulations are implemented in parallel using the message-passing interface libraries. The numerical example includes the simulation of sloshing in tanker trucks during turning. 相似文献

Stomatopods are aggressive crustacean predators that use a pair of ultrafast raptorial appendages to strike on prey. This swift movement is driven by a power amplification system comprising components that must be able to repetitively store and release a high amount of elastic energy. An essential component of this system is the saddle structure, in which the elastic energy is stored by bending prior to striking. Here, a comprehensive study that sheds light on the microstructural and chemical designs of the stomatopod's saddle is conducted. MicroCT scans combined with electron microscopy imaging, elemental mapping, high‐resolution confocal Raman microscopy, and nanomechanical mapping show that the saddle is a bilayer structure with sharp changes in chemical composition and mechanical properties between the layers. The outer layer is heavily mineralized whereas the inner layer contains a high content of chitin and proteins, leading to a spatial organization of phases which is optimized for load distribution during saddle bending. The mineralized outer layer sustains compressive stresses, whereas the inner biopolymeric layer provides tensile resistance. These findings reveal that the saddle chemical composition and microstructure have been spatially tuned to generate a stiff, yet flexible structure that is optimized for storage of elastic energy. 相似文献

A new technique for improving the transconductance and low frequency output impedance of recycling folded cascode (RFC) amplifiers is presented. This enhancement was achieved by using a positive feedback and upgrading the recycling structure. The new structure profits from better transconductance, slew rate, and DC gain in comparison with conventional folded cascode (FC) amplifier. Moreover, the input referred noise is reduced and the phase-margin improved. The enhanced amplifier, simulated in 0.18 μm CMOS technology, exhibits a DC gain enhancement of 16.3 dB as well as 115.5 MHz increase in gain bandwidth compared to conventional FC configuration. The amplifier consumes 360 μW @ 1.2 V which makes it suitable for low-voltage applications. 相似文献

A hybrid numerical scheme based on finite element and finite volume methods is developed to solve shallow water equations. In the recent past, we introduced a series of hybrid methods to solve incompressible low and high Reynolds number flows for single and two‐fluid flow problems. The present work extends the application of hybrid method to shallow water equations. In our hybrid shallow water flow solver, we write the governing equations in non‐conservation form and solve the non‐linear wave equation using finite element method with linear interpolation functions in space. On the other hand, the momentum equation is solved with highly accurate cell‐center finite volume method. Our hybrid numerical scheme is truly a segregated method with primitive variables stored and solved at both node and element centers. To enhance the stability of the hybrid method around discontinuities, we introduce a new shock capturing which will act only around sharp interfaces without sacrificing the accuracy elsewhere. Matrix‐free GMRES iterative solvers are used to solve both the wave and momentum equations in finite element and finite volume schemes. Several test problems are presented to demonstrate the robustness and applicability of the numerical method. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献
