Due to its potential harm to human health, its use has been restricted in many materials that come into contact with the human body. Other bisphenol compounds have emerged as alternatives, but they have similar structures and characteristics, with varying degrees of estrogenic activity and toxicity. With the rapid economic development in China, the demand for bisphenol compounds has been increasing, and so has the production capacity. The sources and distribution of bisphenol pollutants are emerging pollutants in various environmental media and human exposure to them in China deserve in-depth research. In this study, we reviewed the literature published in the past ten years (2014—2024), systematically summarized the sources and distribution patterns, human exposure levels, and health risks of bisphenol pollutants in various environmental media (surface water, sediments, and soil), and proposed various control measures and policy recommendations for bisphenol pollutants in China, aiming to provide a reference for the environmental risk control and environmental governance of bisphenol pollutants in China.

Thermodynamic analysis of the regenerative cycle in an ammonia gas turbine SHEN Zhixuan, LIANG Shiqiang Shandong Science    2025, 38 (1): 64-73.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20240041 Abstract （820）   HTML （39）    PDF（pc） （3420KB）（1019）       Knowledge map    In the pursuit of bridging the energy demand gap and striving for a pristine environment, ammonia fuel has emerged as one of the most promising fuels of the future. Zero carbon emissions, high energy density, and low production and transportation costs make it a promising candidate. However, challenges persist regarding the overall efficiency of pure ammonia combustion. This paper proposes a regenerative cycle in an ammonia gas turbine that matches the reheat Rankine cycle, considering the maximum temperature of the exhaust gas from the turbine and phase transition temperature of liquid ammonia in the turbine cycle. We conducted a thermodynamic analysis and evaluated the system performance based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics and analyzed the influence of the inlet temperature and pressure of the ammonia gas turbine on the overall cycle performance. The results indicate that the combined cycle has improved the efficiency of the ammonia gas turbine by up to 33.38% and the maximum efficiency achieved by the combined thermodynamic cycle is 60.13%,when the inlet temperature of an ammonia gas turbine does not exceed 1 400 ℃ and the inlet pressure remains below 0.5 MPa. Furthermore, the combined cycle exhibits outstanding thermodynamic properties and energy recovery rates. Additionally, the efficiency of the regenerative cycle increases with increasing the inlet temperature and pressure of the ammonia gas turbine, provided that the inlet pressure does not exceed 5 MPa. New perspectives have been proposed to enhance the operational efficiency of ammonia-powered gas turbines and promote the efficient utilization of ammonia as a fuel. This study proposes novel perspectives towards enhancing the efficient utilization of ammonia fuel and the actual efficiency of ammonia gas turbine cycles, providing a forward-looking exploration for the energy utilization of ammonia gas turbine systems.

Numerical study on heat transfer characteristics of supercritical CO2 in vertical tubes at far-critical points ZHAO Chongxin, CUI Jianbo, JIN Yanchao, HAN Yazhou, WU Gongpeng, HE Yan, WEI Zhenwen Shandong Science    2025, 38 (1): 83-95.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20240036 Abstract （656）   HTML （23）    PDF（pc） （6387KB）（1185）       Knowledge map    Supercritical CO2 plays an important role in many applications such as nuclear power generation, solar power generation, cryogenic refrigeration, and aerospace. Currently, the majority of studies on supercritical CO2 convective heat transfer in tubes focus on the temperature range near the critical point, while the heat transfer patterns at high temperature and pressure far from the critical point remain unclear and need to be further studied. In this study, numerical simulations were performed to analyze the effects of mass flow, inlet temperature, system pressure, heat flux density, and tube diameter on the convective heat transfer coefficient at high temperature and pressure, as well as the effects of buoyancy and flow acceleration caused by operating conditions on the heat transfer characteristics. The results show that the convective heat transfer coefficient increases with increasing mass flow, inlet temperature, system pressure, and heat flux density. The difference in convective heat transfer coefficient gradually grows along the flow direction under different heat flux densities. Convective heat transfer coefficient decreases with increasing tube diameter. Compared with the heat transfer patterns near the critical point, heat flux density and tube diameter exert different effects on the convective heat transfer coefficient. In general, the effects of pressure on the convective heat transfer coefficient are small. This study provides significant values to understand the law of supercritical fluid heat transfer and guide the design of efficient and safe heat exchanger.

Evolution of the wetland ecological pattern and systematic ecological restoration in the Yellow River Delta CUI Baoshan, XIE Tian, WANG Qing, CHEN Cong Shandong Science    2025, 38 (2): 1-12.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.2025016 Abstract （647）   HTML （124）    PDF（pc） （3307KB）（1641）       Knowledge map    The Yellow River Delta is a dynamic-equilibrium wetland system formed via the complex interactions between the Yellow River and the ocean across multiple spatial and temporal scales. Owing to the frequent shifts in the Yellow River’s course, the deltaic wetlands have undergone a cyclical evolution involving rapid formation, development, erosion or succession, and disappearance or remnant persistence. Under the combined stresses of intensive human activities and climate change, the Yellow River Delta is facing a series of challenges, including water and sediment variability, vegetation degradation, species invasion, habitat fragmentation, and functional decline. Many existing ecological problems have emerged throughout the evolutionary process of the delta’s wetlands, characterized by overlapping impacts across multiple spatial and temporal dimensions. Consequently, conservation and restoration strategies based on isolated timeframes, specific sites, or individual elements are increasingly showing limitations in mitigating habitat fragmentation, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem degradation in the delta. This paper reviews extensive literature on ecological conservation and restoration in the Yellow River Delta, elucidating the influence mechanisms of biotic and abiotic disturbance factors on key ecological components, structures, and processes affecting the ecological functions of coastal wetlands. Moreover, it identifies the stability patterns of multifunctional wetland systems under multiple stressors, proposes an integrated optimization framework combining conservation, restoration, and regulation, and develops multiscale correlated and multiprocess coordinated conservation and restoration measures, thereby providing new insights for addressing ecosystem degradation in this region.

In the context of multivehicle single-cell scenarios on public roads, this study explores the task-offloading requirements of vehicles in motion and systematically investigates the allocation of computational resources. To fully utilize computing resources, this study not only considers the computing power of vehicles but also introduces a new approach for offloading tasks to vehicle servers traveling in the same direction or parked along the roadside as well as to edge servers in roadside units. This enables the effective integration and efficient sharing of computing resources, thereby remarkably enhancing the processing capabilities of the IoV. Furthermore, this study employs an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm to optimize offloading power and task allocation ratios. Extensive simulation tests revealed that the proposed method significantly reduced the energy consumption of vehicle tasks and improved the service quality and energy efficiency of the IoV.It helps to promote green transportation and sustainable development, and lays a solid foundation for energy optimization and efficiency improvement of future intelligent transportation systems.

Effect of thermal insulation performance deterioration on the economy of steam pipelines CAO Kai, BAO Wenlong, ZHAO Kun, JIANG Haoyong, YIN Xinglei Shandong Science    2025, 38 (1): 74-82.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20240063 Abstract （638）   HTML （19）    PDF（pc） （4079KB）（145）       Knowledge map    Currently, the steam pipelines in cigarette factories are characterized by numerous points, extensive lengths, and broad coverage. The thermal conversion factor of these pipelines is high, and their steam energy consumption accounts for a large proportion of the total energy consumption. Therefore, investigating the performance of the insulation layer of steam pipes is of considerable importance for improving steam utilization efficiency and reducing heat loss in the steam pipe network. In this study, the thermal conductivities of insulation layers made of four insulation materials were measured using the steady-state method at different temperatures to elucidate the relationship between the thermal conductivity of an insulation material and the steam temperature, thereby identifying the efficient insulation materials suitable for application scenarios. The appropriate insulation layer thickness was determined using the maximum allowable heat loss method and economic thickness method. Moreover, the thermal conductivities of insulation layers with different service lives were measured. Results indicate that the thermal conductivity increased linearly with the increasing service life. Factors causing the deterioration of insulation layer performance were incorporated into the model to study the relationship between the operating cost of an insulation layer and its outer diameter and service life. For insulation layers with different designed service lives, their optimal outer diameters and operating costs were calculated using the economic thickness method. Results show that considering material aging factors in the design of insulation layer thickness can reduce cumulative costs by 10.7% within the designed service life. However, when the service life expires, the operating cost of a design that considered the aging issue is higher than that of a design that did not consider the aging issue owing to increased heat loss as a result of aging of the insulation layer. The insulation layer can be designed to reduce steam heat loss and improve steam utilization efficiency as well as provide theoretical guidance for the green, low-carbon, and high-quality development of cigarette factories.

A study based on network pharmacology and experimental verification exploring the mechanism of quercetin against colorectal cancer through the p53 signaling pathway HAN Huijie, LIU Hui, ZHAO Yongbo, WANG Songpo Shandong Science    2025, 38 (1): 32-43.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20240052 Abstract （636）   HTML （30）    PDF（pc） （4164KB）（1181）       Knowledge map    Based on network pharmacology, molecular docking, and in vitro experiments, this study explores the molecular mechanism of quercetin against colorectal cancer through the p53 signaling pathway. The drug targets quercetin, and the disease targets colorectal cancer, which was obtained via the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform and Gene Cards database, respectively. The common drug and disease targets were mapped using a Venn diagram, and the protein-protein interaction network map was constructed with the help of the String database and Cytoscape_v3.7.2 software. At the same time, GO and KEGG enrichment analysis, molecular docking, core target expression, and survival analysis were also performed. Finally, cell proliferation activity, level of apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and changes in the expression of core targets and key proteins of the p53 pathway were detected through cellular experiments. Network pharmacology suggests that AKT1 and TP53 are the core targets of quercetin against colorectal cancer, GO and KEGG analysis demonstrate that quercetin is mainly involved in the PI3K/Akt and p53 signaling pathways, molecular docking demonstrates that quercetin exhibits strong binding activity with the core targets AKT1 and TP53, and TP53 is found to be both highly expressed in colorectal cancerand also affect the survival and prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer. The results of cellular experiments show that quercetin can inhibit the proliferation of HCT-116 cells, induce G0/G1 cell-cycle arrest in HCT-116 cells, and promote apoptosis. This mechanism may regulate core targets such as TP53 and AKT1, activate the p53 signaling pathway, participate in the proliferation and apoptosis of HCT-116 cells, and thus function to resist colorectal cancer.

Osmanthus, known for its pleasant and rich aroma, contains a large amount of active and healthy ingredients. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the difference in the quality of different Osmanthus content in craft beer. The process formulation of Osmanthus-infused craft beer is determined through the detection of physicochemical indicators, analysis of volatile components, and sensory evaluation. The experimental results show that the amount of Osmanthus added is positively correlated with the physicochemical indicators of craft beer, such as alcohol content, concentration, and acidity, while it is inversely proportional to fermentation. The volatile components of Osmanthus-infused craft beer are mainly alcohols and esters, contributing to a rich and intense aroma. Craft beer infused with 0.6% Osmanthus exhibits abundant and delicate foam, a refreshing and pure taste, a harmonious body, and no off-flavors or odors, presenting the typical aroma of Osmanthus.

A precise highway toll prediction model based on iTransformer WANG Hengkun, GU Jin, SONG Zhifan, WANG Jiangfeng Shandong Science    2025, 38 (1): 120-128.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20240055 Abstract （601）   HTML （17）    PDF（pc） （3068KB）（679）       Knowledge map    The prediction of highway tolls is affected by complex factors such as holidays and unexpected events. Traditional prediction methods often fail to fully account for intricate interactions between these multiple factors, resulting in less-than-ideal prediction accuracy. By leveraging the self-attention mechanism, large language models can better fit complex spatiotemporal data and have enhanced feature learning capabilities, making them highly effective for precise highway toll prediction. Therefore, this study proposes a highway toll prediction model based on iTransformer. This model embeds temporal information as an independent dimension into the input sequence and reverses the roles of the self-attention mechanism and feed-forward network, thereby allowing the model to more accurately capture the dynamic features of time series and correlations between multiple variables. Case studies show that the proposed model improves the average prediction accuracy by 23.47% and 17.84% compared with the SARIMA and LSTM models, respectively, in regular scenarios. In irregular scenarios, the model demonstrates even better predictive performance, improving the accuracy by 70.92% and 45.64%, respectively. A sensitivity analysis of the proposed model indicates that it is highly sensitive to the number of feed-forward network layers and stacked encoder layers but is less sensitive to changes in the number of attention heads. Thus, this study provides a new methodological approach for addressing the challenges associated with toll prediction in complex traffic environments and has significant implications in terms of improving the accuracy of highway toll predictions.

Prediction of anti-aging mechanism of Panax quinquefolius L. by network pharmacology and molecular docking FAN Wei, SHEN Chuanlin, ZHANG Xuanming, DU Xingshuo, ZHAN Wen, SUN Chen, JIN Meng, LI Xiaobin, ZHANG Sichen, SUN Botong, HE Qiuxia Shandong Science    2024, 37 (6): 42-50.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20240005 Abstract （600）   HTML （23）    PDF（pc） （4085KB）（1212）       Knowledge map    The aim of this study was to explore the potential effective ingredients and mechanism of action of Panax quinquefolius L. in anti-aging based on network pharmacology and molecular docking. The anti-aging activity of P. quinquefolius L. was evaluated in a zebrafish aging model. The active ingredients of P. quinquefolius L. and their potential targets related to anti-aging were screened using databases, and protein-protein interaction networks (PPI) were mapped to screen core targets. Enrichment analysis and molecular docking verification of the core targets were performed. SA-β-Gal staining results showed that P. quinquefolius L. exerted significant anti-aging activity.Database screening identified 11 active ingredients and 53 potential core targets of P. quinquefolius L. in anti-aging, such as AKT1, STAT3, and JUN. The results of GO and KEGG analysis showed that the anti-aging effects of P. quinquefolius L. may involve factors including xenobiotic stimulus response, negative regulation of apoptotic processes, PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, ErbB signaling pathway. Molecular docking results showed that polyacetylene PQ-2 and PQ-2 were tightly bound with their core targets, and tight binding was also seen with AKT1 and HRAS with various active ingredients. P. quinquefolius L. may act on multiple targets such as AKT1, HRAS, and MAPK1 through polyacetylene PQ-2, PQ-2, and other ingredients, and then regulate multiple pathways such as endocrine resistance, ErbB signaling pathway, and other mechanisms to exert an anti-aging effect.Collectively, these dataprovide a theoretical basis for the application of P. quinquefolius L. in anti-aging.

Object detection model YOLO-T for complex traffic scenarios LIU Yu, GAO Shangbing, ZHANG Qintao, ZHANG Yingying Shandong Science    2024, 37 (6): 104-115.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20240047 Abstract （591）   HTML （18）    PDF（pc） （5610KB）（275）       Knowledge map    To address the challenges posed by complex traffic scenarios, particularly congested roads where traffic objects are densely packed and often occlude each other and small-scale objects are detected inaccurately, a new object detection model called YOLO-T (You Only Look Once-Transformer) is proposed. First, the CTNet backbone network is introduced, which has a deeper network structure and multiscale feature extraction module compared with CSPDarknet53. Not only can it better learn the multilevel features of dense objects but can also improve the model’s ability to handle complex traffic scenarios. Moreover, it directs the model’s focus toward the feature information of small objects, thereby improving the detection performance for small-scale objects. Second, Vit-Block is incorporated, which integrates more features by parallelly combining convolution and Transformer. This approach balances the relevance of local and contextual information, thereby enhancing detection accuracy. Finally, the Reasonable module is added after the Neck network, introducing attention mechanisms to further improve the robustness of the object detection algorithm against complex scenarios and occluded objects. Experimental results indicate that compared with baseline algorithms, YOLO-T achieves a 1.92% and 12.78% increase in detection accuracy on the KITTI and BDD100K datasets, respectively. This enhancement effectively boosts detection performance in complex traffic scenarios and can assist drivers to better predict the behaviors of other vehicles, thus reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents.

Properties of radiative-cooling nylon filaments and their knitted fabrics HUANG Jing, BAI Zhihao, WU Ke, DU Lixin, ZHANG Ruiyun, LI Hong, HUANG Liqian Shandong Science    2024, 37 (4): 65-74.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20240031 Abstract （562）   HTML （3）    PDF（pc） （3985KB）（1631）       Knowledge map    Radiative-cooling nylon is a filament with a passive radiative cooling function and is made of high-infrared-emitting inorganic particle SiO2 and infrared-transmitting material polyamide 6 (PA6) using the industrial melt spinning method. In this study, the surface morphology, aggregated structure, chemical composition, mechanical properties, thermal properties, and surface friction properties of three types of radiative-cooling nylon filaments and an ordinary nylon filament were compared. The thermal conductivity, cool feeling at instant contact, and indoor cooling performance of the four knitted fabrics were further tested. The results show that the knitted fabric interwoven with the radiative-cooling PA6/PE sheath-core composite yarn, which is spun with SiO2-added radiative-cooling PA6 as the skin material and polyethylene (PE) as the core material, and radiative-cooling nylon filament with circular cross-section demonstrate the best thermal conductivity and cooling performance. Its infrared thermal imaging temperature was approximately 1.8 ℃ higher than that of the ordinary nylon knitted fabric, indicating that the knitted fabric exhibits a higher infrared transmittance and better cooling effect. Thus, the radiative-cooling nylon knitted fabric possesses excellent radiative cooling performance and wearability and can be used for the development of radiative-cooling textiles.

Lane segmentation algorithm based on attention mechanism and dynamic snake convolution SONG Bailing, LI Xingyu, LIU Wei, DENG Junxi, MU Junqi Shandong Science    2025, 38 (1): 129-140.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20240066 Abstract （550）   HTML （32）    PDF（pc） （5638KB）（219）       Knowledge map    Lane detection is a remarkable practical application of computer vision technology in the field of transportation. However, existing semantic segmentation network models still face certain challenges such as insufficient accuracy and blurred edges in road semantic segmentation tasks. To address these issues, an improved lane segmentation network architecture based on the UNet model is proposed. First, a dual attention module (DAM) is introduced in the skip connections of the UNet model, which prioritizes the importance of lane lines and effectively reduces noise interference. Additionally, dynamic snake convolution (DSConv) is employed to replace traditional convolution methods, enhancing the network’s lane detection ability. To enhance the comprehensiveness and accuracy of lane detection in underexposed or dark backgrounds, an improved adaptive Gamma correction method is introduced in the image preprocessing stage. Furthermore, atrous spatial pyramid pooling (ASPP) technology is introduced at the end of the encoder to enhance network performance. Experimental results show that this model achieves an accuracy of 98.93% on the TuSimple dataset while meeting real-time requirements. Compared to five other semantic segmentation-based lane detection algorithms, the proposed algorithm demonstrates superior recognition performance, thus validating its effectiveness.

TX mice were divided into five groups: control, model, GDL tablet, Fer-1, and Glutathione. HT22 cells were also divided into five groups: control, model, GDL tablet, Fer-1, and GDL tablet + Fer-1. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to detect the pathological changes in the hippocampus tissues of the mice. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of PKCβⅡ, ACSL4, and ALOX5 in the hippocampus tissues and HT22 cells of the mice, as well as the expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4 in HT22 cells. The content of Fe2+ in the hippocampus tissues of the mice was detected via microassay. The levels of SOD, MDA, and GSH-Px in HT22 cells were detected by microplate assay. Finally, the expression of PKCβⅡ, ACSL4, and ALOX5 mRNA in HT22 cells was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Compared with the control group, the hippocampus tissues of mice in the model group showed clear damage; the protein expression of PKCβⅡ, ACSL4, and ALOX5 showed a clear increase; the protein expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4 decreased significantly; and Fe2+content increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the pathological damage to hippocampus tissues showed improvements in the GDL tablet, Fer-1, and Glutathione group with the effects being noticeable in the GDL tablet group. It was possible to inhibit ferroptosis of HT22 cells in the GDL tablet and Fer-1 group and significantly lower their expression of PKCβⅡ, ACSL4, and ALOX5 protein and mRNA in comparison to the model group(P<0.05). The MDA contentalso decreased significantly (P<0.05) while the SOD activity and the GSH-Px content increased significantly(P<0.05). Thus, GDL tablets can inhibit ferroptosis in hippocampus tissues of TX mice andinhibit ferroptosis induced by CuCl2 in HT22 cells. Moreover, the ferroptosis mechanism may be related to the down-regulation of the PKCβⅡ, ACSL4, and ALOX5 signaling pathway and the attenuation of intracellular lipid peroxidation.

The spatiotemporal variation characteristics and climate impact analysis of vegetation NPP in Shandong Province LIU Jianjun, SUN Kaizheng, GONG Hualin, ZHU Yuling Shandong Science    2024, 37 (5): 103-110.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20240008 Abstract （529）   HTML （7）    PDF（pc） （5199KB）（498）       Knowledge map    Based on MOD17A3 product data for Shandong Province from 2010 to 2022, this study uses univariate regression trend analysis, the coefficient of variation method, partial correlation analysis, and the Hurst index method to investigate the spatiotemporal distribution of vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) for the ecosystem of Shandong Province and analyze the impact of climate factors. Results demonstrate the fluctuating upward trend of vegetation NPP for Shandong Province in recent years, with an annual average of (398.03±150.20) g/(m2·a), higher than the national average and comparable with that of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Vegetation NPP varies considerably across different areas. The vegetation NPP in the eastern coastal hilly area is higher than that in the inland plain area. With respect to interannual variation, the overall vegetation NPP in Shandong Province is relatively stable. With regard to the variation trend of vegetation NPP, the areas of positive and negative trends are equivalent. The trend analysis shows that 27.86% of the areas show an increasing trend, whereas 33.49% show a decreasing trend. However, the areas that have shifted from the increasing trend to the decreasing trend are mostly in woodland areas with high vegetation NPP levels, and further research is needed. In general, a positive correlation exists between vegetation NPP and climate factors. Temperature has a wider and more considerable impact on vegetation NPP than precipitation; moreover, the correlation between vegetation NPP and climate factors is poor in plain agricultural areas.

Advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage (AA-CAES) is an effective method to address the intermittency of renewable energy. In this study, a mathematical model for the energy storage stage of AA-CAES is established, and dynamic and sensitivity analysis of the conservation of energy, energy balance, and key parameters of each component are conducted. The results reveal that the proposed mathematical model follows the laws of conservation of energy and exergy balance; the exergy loss of the compressor is greater than that of the heat exchanger; energy and heat are mainly stored in heat transfer oil and high-pressure air, respectively; the deviation between compressor operating and design condition reduces the efficiency; the effect of the air flow rate and inlet temperature of the first-stage turbine on the operation time is greater than that of the storage temperature, adiabatic efficiency and stored air mass. This paper provides reference for adjusting parameters and optimizing energy storage system according to actual demand. Table and Figures | Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Additionally,the preparation conditions of BXD drug-containing serums were examined toobserve the pharmacodynamics of gastric cancer cells. Blood was collected at intervals of 30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 minutes after high, medium, and low intragastric gavage of BXD to prepare drug-containing serums. Based on the selected gavage doses and blood collection times, MGC803, MKN45, AGS, and HGC27 cells were exposed to 5%~50% concentrations of drug-containing serum, and CCK8 assay was employed to detect the inhibitory effects of different gavage doses, blood collection times, and volume fractions of BXD drug-containing serum on the proliferation of gastric cancer cells. The test results showed that compared with other time points, all BXD drug-containing serums had the strongest inhibitory effect on gastric cancer cells at the blood collection time of 120 minutes. Compared with the low-dose BXD group, the medium-dose BXD group had a strong inhibitory effect on gastric cancer cells, and there was no significant difference between the medium-dose and high-dose BXD groups. Based on the analysis of the inhibitory effects of 10 concentrations ranging from 5% to 50% on different gastric cancer cells, the IC50 values of all drug-containing serums collected 120 minutes after gavage in the medium-dose BXD group were 20%. Analysis of the inhibitory effects of different gavage doses, blood collection times, and volume fractions on different gastric cancer cells revealed that a medium dose of BXD, blood collection time of 120 minutes,and a volume fraction of 20% had the strongest inhibitory effect on gastric cancer cells. Therefore, the medicated serum with a blood collection time of 120 minutes and a volume fraction of 20% in the medium-dose BXD group had the best pharmacodynamic effect on gastric cancer cells.

Effects of Dioscorea opposita Thunb. polysacchariades on exercise-related fatigue in mice through the PI3K/AKT/Gsk-3β pathway ZENG Ting, YANG Ran, LI Qingjun, GONG Yanan, WANG Shuzhen, LIU Qian Shandong Science    2024, 37 (6): 51-58.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20240034 Abstract （517）   HTML （11）    PDF（pc） （2727KB）（23）       Knowledge map    This study aimed to investigate the antifatigue effects and mechanisms of Dioscorea opposita Thunb. polysaccharides (DTPs) on exercise-related fatigue in mice. In a mouse model of exercise fatigue where mice were subjected to exhaustive swimming and fatigue rotarod, changes in exhaustive swimming duration, body weight, fatigue metabolite accumulation, activity levels of related enzymes, liver tissue structure, and muscle glycogen (MuG) and liver glycogen (LG) contents were assessed. The results demonstrated that DTPs significantly prolonged the exhaustive swimming duration and reduced body weight loss, hepatic damage, and serum lactic acid (LD), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in the mice. DTPs also significantly enhanced superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and MuG and LG contents and significantly reduced aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels. Additionally, in mice administered DTPs, the mRNA expression of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) was significantly upregulated, whereas that of protein kinase B (AKT) and glycogen synthase kinase-3 (Gsk-3β) was significantly downregulated in skeletal muscle. Taken together, DTPs can reduce metabolite accumulation and ameliorate exercise fatigue by regulating the PI3K/AKT/Gsk-3β pathway to promote glycogen synthesis.

Therefore, it has a broad application prospect in the energy storage and conversion. In this study, a dynamic mathematical model for the compressed sCO2 energy storage system (SC-CCES) was established based on the mass conservation and energy conservation laws and the reliability of the model was verified. Additionally, dynamic simulations of the SC-CCES system with single-stage compression and single-stage expansion were performed using Matlab/Simulink. Under the designed operating conditions, the energy storage efficiency of the SC-CCES system was found to be 51.98%, with an energy storage density of 447.8 kWh/m3. The energy storage density of the SC-CCES system was more than 20 times higher than that of a traditional compressed air energy storage system. Furthermore, the impact of different high-pressure tank inlet pressures on system performance was analyzed. The results showed that the energy storage efficiency increases with the increase of the inlet pressure of the high-pressure storage tank, while the energy storage density is exactly the opposite. This study provides a basis for the development of compressed carbon dioxide energy storage. Table and Figures | Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

To mitigate the prevalent issue of excessive TN discharges from WTTPs, we proposed a real-time prediction model based on long short-term memory (LSTM) networks. We performed Pearson correlation analysis to determine model inputs and used grid search algorithm to optimize model hyperparameters. Then, we used the proposed model to predict the actual effluent TN in a WWTP in Chongqing and compared its predictive performance with that of traditional time-series models. Results indicate that the proposed model can effectively predict effluent TN with an average absolute error of 0.911 mg/L, an average root mean square error of 1.074 mg/L, and an average absolute percentage error of 11.28%. All of these performance indicators surpass those of the recurrent neural network and ARIMA models. The proposed model can serve as the foundation for effective monitoring of effluent TN.

However, most existing underwater 3D imaging LiDAR systems suffer from large size and high power consumption, making them unsuitable for the operational requirements of underwater tasks. To overcome these issues, this study proposes a compact solution based on photon-counting technology that integrates single-point ranging with two-dimensional scanning to achieve 3D imaging. A compact underwater photon-counting 3D imaging LiDAR system was developed by optimizing optical and mechanical design, resulting in a device with a diameter of 165 mm and a length of 340 mm, considerably improving portability and underwater adaptability. A dual-axis synchronous scanning control method was implemented based on FPGA to achieve a scanning accuracy at the nanosecond level, ensuring precise alignment between the emitted pulse and measured target point. Laboratory water tank experiments revealed that the system has a detection capability exceeding 3.1 attenuation lengths. Furthermore, this system was used for underwater 3D imaging of a thruster model that validates its centimeter-level ranging accuracy. Owing to its strong compatibility, this system can be integrated into various underwater mobile platforms and holds strong potential for applications such as seabed topographic mapping, underwater cultural heritage detection, and underwater target identification.

However, the geochemical characteristics of soil silicon in different forms in coastal wetlands still need further investigation. In this study, we selected four typical coastal wetlands (nonflooding Phragmites australis, tidal P. australis, freshwater P. australis, and tidal Suaeda salsa wetlands) as sampling sites and collected soils from 0 to 20 cm depth. Furthermore, we determined oxalate-extractable silicon, dithionite-citrate-extractable silicon, pyrophosphate-extractable silicon and analyzed their soil physical and chemical properties, distribution patterns, and influencing factors in typical coastal wetlands. Results showed that dithionite-citrate-extractable silicon and pyrophosphate-extractable silicon showed no significant differences among four wetlands (p>0.05), while oxalate-extractable silicon in nonflooding P. australis wetlands was significantly lower than tidal P. australis wetlands (p<0.05). As for the profile distribution, the three types of extractable silicon in soils from 0 to 10 cm were generally higher than in soils from 10 cm to 20 cm. Additionally, the correlation analysis revealed that soil organic matter, total nitrogen, bulk density, pH, silt and moisture were important factors influencing these three types of extractable silicon.

Ship heave motion prediction method based on wavelet transform and improved time series model LIU Zhizhen, HUANG Lumeng, SUN Yapeng, ZHANG Ying, LIU Zhendong Shandong Science    2024, 37 (6): 1-11.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20240019 Abstract （478）   HTML （381）    PDF（pc） （6283KB）（384）       Knowledge map    Lag in detecting ship heave motion signals severely affects the performance of ocean heave compensation systems. Therefore, accurate heave motion prediction can effectively improve the stability and real-time performance of these systems. To improve the engineering practicability of a heave motion prediction model, we designed an autoregressive time-series model featuring high calculation efficiency, simple programing, and a small accumulation error. Moreover, to further address the poor adaptability of the model to nonlinear and nonstationary complex sea conditions and long-term predictions, we developed a combined prediction model based on wavelet transform and improved autoregression using the wavelet multiscale analysis method and achieved online multistep prediction of heave motions by decomposing and transforming historical data, reconstructing sub-sequence prediction, and forecasting data synthesis. Finally, theoretical testing and experiments were conducted on stationary random waveforms and nonstationary waveforms measured on ships. The analysis results show that the combined model exhibits good prediction performance and can effectively reduce the control error of the ocean heave compensation system caused by the lag in the heave motion signal detection.

Quality evaluation of Ganoderma lucidum as a medicinal material based on polysaccharides and entropy-weighted TOPSIS YANG Zhicheng, SUN Caihong, YE Guan Shandong Science    2024, 37 (6): 31-41.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20240044 Abstract （477）   HTML （10）    PDF（pc） （1933KB）（63）       Knowledge map    A comprehensive quantitative model that evaluates Ganoderma lucidum as a medicinal material was established based on polysaccharides and entropy-weighted technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution(TOPSIS) to provide a reference for the quality evaluation of G. lucidum as a medicinal material and selecting the best batches. Initially, the yield, sugar composition, total sugar content, protein content, and uronic acid content of crude polysaccharides were determined formultiple batches of G. lucidum medicinal materials from the same origin. Subsequently, the data were nondimensionalized. Finally, entropy-weighted TOPSIS was used to comprehensively evaluate the quality of G.lucidum polysaccharides from different batches to establish the optimal standard. The yield, component content detection, and cluster heat map analysis of the polysaccharides showed that the polysaccharide yield and the total sugar and uronic acid content of G. lucidum medicinal materials from different batches varied significantly, whereas differences in the sugar composition and protein content were relatively minor. Polysaccharide yield and intrinsic indicators of the G. lucidum medicinal materials were not related to their origin. Entropy weight analysis showed that the polysaccharide yield weight coefficient was the largest at 23.68%, followed by total sugar at 21.35% and uronic acid content at 13.24%. The TOPSIS ranking and grouping results showed that cultivated G. lucidum fruiting bodies and red G. lucidum polysaccharides had better comprehensive scores.

The mechanism of Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus-Trichosanthis Fructu pairing in regulating heart failure complicated by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease based on systems pharmacology and molecular docking FANG Mengxiang, CHENG Cheng, CAO Mingchen, REN Wei, YANG Zhiwei, LI Wenjing, XIN Xiaowei, LIU Yuefen, XU Long Shandong Science    2024, 37 (4): 45-55.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20230131 Abstract （474）   HTML （10）    PDF（pc） （7528KB）（2202）       Knowledge map    We used the Gene Expression Omnibus database to identify targets associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart failure(HF). Then, we explored the chemical composition and targets of Fritillaria thunbergii-Trichosanthis fructus to determine their potential to regulate COPD complicated by HF. We analyzed the target function and pathway annotation to create a network of tissue-specific protein-protein interactions (PPI).A total of 227 targets were involved in regulating COPD complicated by HF progression through Fritillaria thunbergii-Trichosanthis fructus, including 153 upregulated and 74 downregulated genes.Topological analysis showed that the average median of the PPI network was 0.4, and the average degree value was 1.83, with key targets including RPS23, SNU13, NOL6, ELAVL1. The cellular components were mainly located in the endomembrane system, nuclear endosomes, and extracellular vesicles. Biological processes mainly involved vesicle-mediated transport, microtubule-based motility, and intracellular protein transport.The relevant signaling pathway was the MAPK signaling pathway.MCODE analysis revealed two core clusters: Cluster 1 involves genes such as TKT,ENO1, NCL, and KIF1B, which are involved in regulating the Golgi transport of kinesin and estrogen, and Cluster 2 involves genes such as SIN3B, PHF20, CTBP1, and XPNPEP1, which are involved in the regulation of histone-associated responses.Tissue-specific PPI networks in the auricles, left ventricle, and lungs suggest that the Fritillaria thunbergii-Trichosanthis fructus pairing may affect the progression of COPD complicated by HF through the regulation of the ELAVL1-ENO1-NCL axis.Molecular docking showed that the binding of trichosanic acid, the main active ingredient involved in relieving the chest and dispersing mass, and peimisine, the main ingredient involved in dissipating phlegm and dispersing mass, to the protein targets ELAVL1, ENO1, and NCL was highly stable, and that the binding of peimisine to said three target proteins was stronger than that of trichosanic acid.This indicates that the combination of the two ingredients is first used to treat the lungs and then to regulate the heart, and that they are mutually necessary, resulting in therapeutic effects on both the heart and lungs.

Optimization of activated charcoal impurity removal process for Xiaojianzhong mixture and its impacton the stability of the mixture’s preparations ZHANG Wei, LIU Zhenyuan, DU Haochen, GUO Tiantian, YANG Mei, WANG Shandong, HAN Pei, SONG Xiangyun, ZHANG Guimin Shandong Science    2024, 37 (4): 1-8.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20230126 Abstract （472）   HTML （13）    PDF（pc） （1222KB）（322）       Knowledge map    To improve the clarity and stability of Xiaojianzhong mixture, the activated charcoal impurity removal process was selected to purify Xiaojianzhong mixture. The orthogonal test evaluation method was used; the evaluation factors were the amount of activated charcoal, boiling time, and the temperature of the solution during charcoal removal. Furthermore, the transfer rates of paeoniflorin and dry matter were used as evaluation indicators. Variance and visual analyses as well as accelerated stability tests were conducted to optimize the activated charcoal purification process for Xiaojianzhong mixture.In order to carry out these above experiments, three batches of Xiaojianzhong mixture preparations were produced for long-term stability testing. Results showed that the optimal parameters for the activated charcoal boiling purification process of Xiaojianzhong mixture preparations were 0.4% activated charcoal usage, 30 min of activated charcoal boiling time, and a liquid temperature of 100 ℃ during filtration. The average transfer rates of paeoniflorin and dry matter in expanded production under these process conditions were 75.24% and 89.08%, respectively. The optimal activated charcoal boiling purification process obtained from this test can ensure the clarity and stability of Xiaojianzhong mixture preparations while maximizing the retention of paeoniflorin and dry matter, thereby ensuring stable and uniform drug efficacy. This study provides a scientific and reasonable basis forclarifying and optimizing the parameters of the activated charcoal boiling purification process for Xiaojianzhong mixture.

Durability and resilience of Nanjing Rail Transit Network GAO Zhanyi, ZHU Chengjuan, HAN Linghui Shandong Science    2024, 37 (4): 105-111.   DOI: 10.3976/j.issn.1002-4026.20230093 Abstract （462）   HTML （5）    PDF（pc） （2155KB）（731）       Knowledge map    This study first constructs a topological structure model of the rail transit network based on the Space L network topology method. Herein, upon analyzing network characteristics using UCINET as a basis, the maximum connected subgraph ratio and overall network efficiency are selected as indicators to analyze the resilience of the rail transit network. Then, the article comprehensively analyzes the attribute values of nodes and employs the TOPSIS method to rank the importance of nodes using the coefficient of variation for weighting. Then network resilience is analyzed by destroying individual nodes with high importance, and network recovery is achieved through indicator-based ranking restoration strategies, ultimately yielding the average resilience value of the rail transit network. Furthermore, the resilience and robustness of the rail transit network of Nanjing in 2022 is analyzed based on the established model. Results show that nodes with high degree values often have a greater impact on resilience than other indicators. Prioritizing the repair of nodes with the highest degree values leads to the greatest increase in network efficiency, whereas repairing nodes with the highest closeness to the center has less impact on network efficiency.
