Article Abstract

To study the flow characteristics of water and oil in a free surface vortex with an oil slick on the water surface, the flow phenomenon was simulated using FLUENT software and compared with the experimental phenomenon. The volume of the fluid model was used to obtain the oil-gas-water three-phase eddy current field, yielding the flow structure and evolution process of the free surface vortex. The results reveal that the oil and water distribution follows a specific rule, from the beginning of the vortex at the free surface, through continuous downward extension and finally reaching stability. A few other parameters were also calculated, including the vertical distribution of the vortex core radius, the maximum tangential velocity and the radial velocity at the vortex core radius, and the variation of the velocity components of each phase in the flow field with position and time. The research reveals the oil transportation characteristics of free surface vortices and provides a method for recovering an oil slick using its surface vortex characteristics.

Single-cell surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has emerged as a powerful tool for precision medicine owing to its label-free detection, ultrasensitivity, and unique molecular fingerprinting. Unlike conventional bulk analysis, it enables detailed characterization of cellular heterogeneity, with particular promise in circulating tumor cell (CTC) identification, tumor microenvironment (TME) metabolic profiling, subcellular imaging, and drug sensitivity assessment. Coupled with microfluidic droplet systems, SERS supports high-throughput single-cell analysis and multiparametric screening, while integration with complementary modalities such as fluorescence microscopy and mass spectrometry enhances temporal and spatial resolution for monitoring live cells.

Encapsulation of non-noble bimetallic nanoparticles within a zeolite framework can improve the stability and accessibility of active sites, but the single microporous structure and poor metal stability decreased the catalytic performance of the catalyst. Here, 3D hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite encapsulated NiCo nanoparticles (NiCo@3DHZ5) were synthesized by Bottom-up confined steam-assisted crystallization (SAC) one-pot hydrothermal method and applied to the hydrodeoxygenation of vanillin. A series of characterizations showed that highly stable alloyed NiCo nanoparticles were encapsulated in a framework of 3DHZ5, the strong metal-zeolite interactions resulted in highly dispersed NiCo nano-alloys facilitated hydrogen adsorption and spillover of active hydrogen atoms, and the 3D hierarchical structure promoted oxygenated substrate diffusion, the synergy interaction between the alloy particles confined in the 3DHZ5 pores and the acidic sites on the zeolite surface promoted the selective conversion of vanillin.

Background: Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) is a prominent non-polio enterovirus known to cause severe respiratory infections and poliomyelitis-like illnesses in children. Recently, we identified MFSD6 as a receptor for EV-D68, providing a potential target for blocking viral entry into cells. This study aimed to develop an MFSD6-based decoy receptor to neutralise EV-D68 and elucidate its mechanism of action.

This review concentrates on the electroactive ceramic biointerfaces inspired by bone piezoelectricity for advanced ceramic biomaterials. Bone generates electrical potentials through the piezoelectric properties of collagen fibrils and apatite minerals under mechanical loading. These electrical signals influence osteoconductivity and regenerative capacity by osteogenic cells.

Transcutaneous devices such as dental implants frequently fail due to infections at their interfaces with epithelial tissues. These infections are facilitated by the lack of integration between the devices and the surrounding soft tissues. This study aims to improve epithelial integration through surface modification of a transcutaneous implant material (polyetheretherketone (PEEK)).
