Microstructure of Zr-alloyed coating using pulsed laser

Coatings were synthesized by laser alloying of zirconium (Zr) particles using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser on an austenite stainless steel. The distribution of Zr is uneven, in a depth of 18 mum just below the surface of the pool. The coating consisted of duplex microstructures, i.e. metallic glass (MG) and austenite. The MG formed in Zr-contained regions, with the Zr composition ranging from 7.6 to 16.8 at.%. The formation of the MG was attributed to an increase in glass-forming ability by Zr addition.

Analysis of residual stress gradient in MEMS multi-layer structure

Residual stress and its gradient through the thickness are among the most important properties of as-deposited films. Recently, a new mechanism based on a revised Thomas-Fermi-Dirac (TFD) model was proposed for the origin of intrinsic stress in solid film

A surface energy model and application to mechanical behavior analysis of single crystals at sub-micron scale

Size effects of mechanical behaviors of materials are referred to the variation of the mechanical behavior due to the sample sizes changing from macroscale to micro-/nanoscales. At the micro-/nanoscale, since sample has a relatively high specific surface area (SSA) (ratio of surface area to volume), the surface although it is often neglected at the macroscale, becomes prominent in governing the energy effect, although it is often neglected at the macroscale, becomes prominent in governing the mechanical behavior. In the present research, a continuum model considering the surface energy effect is developed through introducing the surface energy to total potential energy. Simultaneously, a corresponding finite element method is developed. The model is used to analyze the axial equilibrium strain problem for a Cu nanowire at the external loading-free state. As another application of the model, from dimensional analysis, the size effects of uniform compression tests on the microscale cylinder specimens for Ni and Au single crystals are analyzed and compared with experiments in literatures.

Annealing effects of sapphire substrate on properties of ZnO films grown by magnetron sputtering

The annealing effects of sapphire substrates on the quality of epitaxial ZnO films grown by dc reactive magnetron sputtering were studied. The atomic steps formed on (0001) sapphire (alpha-Al2O3) substrates surface by annealing at high temperature were analyzed by atomic force microscopy. Their influence on the growth of ZnO films was examined by X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence measurements. Experimental results indicate that the film quality is strongly affected by annealing treatment of the sapphire substrate surface. The optimum annealing temperature of sapphire substrates for ZnO grown by magnetron sputtering is 1400 degrees C for 1 h in air.

G蛋白在松类植物花粉管发育中的亚细胞定位及调控机制

G蛋白参与了哺乳动物内多种细胞信号途径，但其在植物花粉萌发和花粉管发育过程中的细胞学定位、生化特性及功能研究比较滞后，有关这方面的研究报道较少。在显花植物授粉受精过程中，具顶端极性生长特性的花粉管是雄性生殖单位的载体，也是研究细胞生长分子调控机理的理想体系。与被子植物相比，裸子植物具有生长周期长，花粉管生长缓慢、易分叉等特点，具有不同于被子植物花粉发育的独特发育模式。对于裸子植物花粉萌发和花粉管生长的调控机理，目前尚不十分清楚。本文以松类植物中比较有代表性的裸子植物青杆（Piceawillsonii）和白皮松(Pinus bungeana)花粉为试材，应用免疫分析和间接免疫荧光显微镜技术，结合药理学实验和FTIR手段，研究了异三聚体G蛋白和小G蛋白在花粉管细胞中的定位、生化特性及其在花粉管发育中的调控作用。结果如下： 应用Western Blotting技术和来自于抗哺乳动物中不同序列G蛋白O【亚基抗体，我们在白皮松花粉管中检测到一条分子量为40 kDa左右的蛋白。去污剂处理显示，该蛋白与质膜偶联。间接免疫荧光显微镜实验发现，在花粉管发育的整个时期，代表Ga蛋白的荧光均一的分布在整个质膜区域，尤其在尖端皮层区域荧光最亮，显示此处该蛋白浓度最高。无论是在正常发育的花粉管抑或是发生弯曲或扭曲生长的花粉管，均呈现同样的分布模式。随着花粉管发育，Ga蛋白表达量发生变化。在花粉管发育中期，Ga蛋白表达量比较高;随着花粉管离体培养时间的延长，Ga蛋白表达量下降。另外，在花粉刚刚萌发时，Ga蛋白表达量也比较低。 对白皮松花粉萌发进行的药理学实验显示，G蛋白调节剂 CTX和PTX对白皮松花粉管的影响呈现双阶段效应。当添加的药剂浓度小于400 ng mL-I时，无论CTX还是PTX均抑制了花粉萌发和花粉管生长，且花粉管容易破裂;而当二者浓度分别升至500 ng mL-I时，同对照相比，花粉管生长明显受到促进。这一结果不支持Ma等人在百合花粉中的研究结果。进一步应用FTIR技术分析发现，当用浓度为400 ng mL-I CTX或PTX处理花粉管时，花粉管细胞壁酚类物质增加，而纤维素、半纤维素、木聚糖等物质下降，这可能是导致此浓度处理下花粉管易破裂的原因。这些结果显示了G蛋白a亚基参与了白皮松花粉管生长，CTX和PTX可能通过下游对其敏感的功能蛋白而非Ga本身，影响着花粉管生长并调控着花粉管壁的建成。 利用来源于烟草的抗NtRacl抗体和拟南芥的抗ROPs抗体，应用WeternBlotting技术，我们在青杆花粉管中检测到分子量为23kDa的多肽。间接免疫荧光显微镜实验显示，在花粉萌发18和24小时后，Rac蛋白主要定位于花粉管尖端质膜区域，时而会延伸到顶端两侧区域，但从尖端到基部存在浓度梯度，这种分布模式多在花粉管发育的后期观察到。Rac蛋白在青杆花粉管不同发育时期的分布模式变化可能和花粉管的生长状态有关，在花粉管发育早期和中期，正是花粉管旺盛生长期，Rac蛋白的尖端定位保证了花粉管的极性生长。对Rac蛋白在花粉管的分布进行的连续切片扫描发现，Rac蛋白不但分布在质膜上，并与质膜偶联，而且在胞质中亦有分布。通过对一系列正常发育（即极性生长的花粉管）和畸形发育的花粉管进行观察发现，Rac蛋白主要分布在旺盛生长的花粉管尖端质膜或离顶端20 Vm处，在分叉的生长缓慢的分枝端分布较少。而在那些发生分叉生长的花粉管中，处于次要位置的基本停止生长的分枝端几乎没有Rac蛋白存在。在顶端发生膨大的花粉管中，Rac蛋白均匀分布在花粉管整个质膜上，丧失浓度梯度，失去极性生长。这些结果显示了Rac蛋白参与了青杆花粉管生长。 应用抗NtRacl抗体进行的间接免疫荧光显微镜定位实验，我们在正在生长的花粉管的管核中观察到明亮的荧光，显示了有Rac蛋白的存在。当精细胞在花粉粒中未移动到花粉管中时，几乎没有观察到荧光信号。随着花粉管发育，两个精细胞的位置发生变化，当其中一个较大的精细胞移动到花粉管中时，观察到明亮的荧光信号，这些结果显示了Rac蛋白可能参与了管核或精细胞在花粉管内的移动。

HORMONAL-REGULATION OF TISSUE-TYPE PLASMINOGEN-ACTIVATOR AND PLASMINOGEN-ACTIVATOR INHIBITOR TYPE-1 IN CULTURED MONKEY SERTOLI CELLS

Sertoli cells play a central role in the control and maintenance of spermatogenesis. Isolated Sertoli cells of mouse and rat testes have been shown to secrete plasminogen activator (PA) and a plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) in culture. In this study, we have investigated the hormonal regulation of PA and PAI-1 activities in cultured monkey Sertoli cells. Sertoli cells (5x10(5) cells/well) isolated from infant rhesus monkey testes were preincubated at 35 degrees C for 16 h in 24-well plates precoated with poly(D-lysine) (5 mu g/cm(2)) in 0.5 mi McCoy's 5a medium containing 5% of fetal calf serum and further incubated for 48 h in 0.5 mi serum-free medium with or without various hormones or other compounds, PA as well as PAI-1 activities in the conditioned media were assayed by fibrin overlay and reverse fibrin autography techniques respectively. The Sertoli cells in vitro secreted only tissue-type PA (tPA), no detectable amount of urokinase-type PA (uPA) could be observed, Monkey Sertoli cells were also capable of secreting PAI-1, Immunocytochemical studies indicated that both tPA and PAI-1 positive staining localized in the Sertoli cells, spermatids and residual bodies of the seminiferous epithelium; Northern blot analysis further confirmed the presence of both tPA and PAI-1 mRNA in monkey Sertoli cells. Addition of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) or cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) derivatives or cAMP-generating agents and gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist or phorbol ester (PMA) to the cell culture significantly increased tPA activity. PAI-1 activity in the culture was also enhanced by these reagents except 8-bromo-dibutyryl-cAMP, forskolin and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthin (MIX) which greatly stimulated tPA activity, whereas decreased PAI-1 activity, implying that neutralization of PAI-1 activity by tile high level of tPA in the conditioned media may occur. These data suggest that increased intracellular signals which activate protein kinase A (PKA), or protein kinase C (PKC) can modulate Sertoli cell tPA and PAI-1 activities, The concomitant induction of PA and PAI-1 by the same reagents in the Sertoli cells may reflect a finely tuned regulatory mechanism in which PAI-1 could limit the excession of the proteolysis.
