基于放电检测和机器视觉技术的火花塞缺陷检测系统

为了减少传统人眼目测检测造成的误差,提高火花塞的缺陷检测效率,设计了1种基于放电检测技术和机器视觉技术的火花塞缺陷检测系统.火花塞缺陷检测系统由工控机、NI DAQ数据采集卡、IGBT驱动板、IGBT模块、点火线圈、分压模块和工业相机构成.利用脉宽调制技术和电磁感应原理,对火花塞施加电压,通过抓拍点火线圈电压输出下火花塞放电火花的位置信息,检测火花塞陶瓷件是否存在缺陷.试验结果表明:该火花塞缺陷检测系统输出的放电高电压安全可测,检测精度更是高达95％,满足了火花塞缺陷检测的实际应用需求.     

基于系统动力学的区块链技术扩散机制研究

区块链技术凭借其去中心化、去信任化及不可篡改等优势,一经提出便引起了学术界和业界的广泛关注。然而区块链技术发展中也遇到了如政府监管难、行业标准化不完善及违规违法行为频发等挑战。社会各界对于区块链技术发展前景各执己见,政府提出的各类扶植与管制政策对区块链技术发展的影响及其程度尚不明确。基于此,对区块链这一典型的共性技术扩散与演化趋势进行模拟研究。首先,结合Bass技术创新扩散模型的理论基础和区块链的特点筛选了影响区块链技术扩散的因素;其次,构建了区块链技术扩散的系统动力学模型,在参数估计的基础上对三种不同政策组合下区块链技术扩散机制进行模拟,分析了不同政策环境下区块链技术发展趋势;最后,依据模拟结果提出了引导区块链技术发展的政策建议。     

Blockage of the NLRP3 inflammasome by MCC950 improves anti-tumor immune responses in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

The NLRP3 inflammasome is a critical innate immune pathway responsible for producing active interleukin (IL)-1β, which is associated with tumor development and immunity. However, the mechanisms regulating the inflammatory microenvironment, tumorigenesis and tumor immunity are unclear. Herein, we show that the NLRP3 inflammasome was over-expressed in human HNSCC tissues and that the IL-1β concentration was increased in the peripheral blood of HNSCC patients. Additionally, elevated NLRP3 inflammasome levels were detected in tumor tissues of Tgfbr1/Pten 2cKO HNSCC mice, and elevated IL-1β levels were detected in the peripheral blood serum, spleen, draining lymph nodes and tumor tissues. Blocking NLRP3 inflammasome activation using MCC950 remarkably reduced IL-1β production in an HNSCC mouse model and reduced the numbers of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), regulatory T cells (Tregs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Moreover, inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation increased the numbers of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells in HNSCC mice. Notably, the numbers of exhausted PD-1⁺ and Tim3⁺ T cells were significantly reduced. A human HNSCC tissue microarray showed that NLRP3 inflammasome expression was correlated with the expression of CD8 and CD4, the Treg marker Foxp3, the MDSC markers CD11b and CD33, and the TAM markers CD68 and CD163, PD-1 and Tim3. Overall, our results demonstrate that the NLRP3 inflammasome/IL-1β pathway promotes tumorigenesis in HNSCC and inactivation of this pathway delays tumor growth, accompanied by decreased immunosuppressive cell accumulation and an increased number of effector T cells. Thus, inhibition of the tumor microenvironment through the NLRP3 inflammasome/IL-1β pathway may provide a novel approach for HNSCC therapy.     

Microsatellite instability in gastric cancer: molecular bases,clinical perspectives,and new treatment approaches

Gastric cancer is one of the most aggressive malignancies, with limited treatment options in both locally advanced and metastatic setting, resulting in poor prognosis. Based on genomic characterization, stomach tumour has recently been described as a heterogeneous disease composed by different subtypes, each of them with peculiar molecular aspects and specific clinical behaviour. With an incidence of 22% among all western gastric tumour cases, stomach cancer with microsatellite instability was identified as one of these subgroups. Retrospective studies and limited prospective trials reported differences between gastric cancers with microsatellite stability and those with instability, mainly concerning clinical and pathological features, but also in regard to immunological microenvironment, correlation with prognostic value, and responses to treatment. In particular, gastric cancer with microsatellite instability constitutes a small but relevant subgroup associated with older age, female sex, distal stomach location, and lower number of lymph-node metastases. Emerging data attribute to microsatellite instability status a favourable prognostic meaning, whereas the poor outcomes reported after perioperative chemotherapy administration suggest a detrimental role of cytotoxic drugs in this gastric cancer subgroup. The strong immunogenicity and the widespread expression of immune-checkpoint ligands make microsatellite instability subtype more vulnerable to immunotherapeutic approach, e.g., with anti-PD-L1 and anti-CTLA4 antibodies. Since gastric cancer with microsatellite instability shows specific features and clinical behaviour not overlapping with microsatellite stable disease, microsatellite instability test might be suitable for inclusion in a diagnostic setting for all tumour stages to guarantee the most targeted and effective treatment to every patient.
