In the given investigation contents of potassium and its physiological analog, rubidium, are determined in cardiomyocyte. Applying Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA), cytoplasmic concentrations of elements (K, Rb) are measured. The data obtained exhibit that for initial acute ischemia phase the active transport is involved in the uptake of rubidium which competes with potassium entry in cardiac myocell. Then, deep deenergization leads to the intracellular potassium depletion and rubidium retention. This suggests that Rb+ is physiologically not complete analog for K+. Results of combined perfusion with and without rubidium allow us to hypothesize the appearance of cascade of ionic transports to compensate acute ischemic disturbances following the oxygen and substrate deficiency.

Domain walls are quasi-one-dimensional topological defects in ferroic materials, which can harbor emergent functionalities. In the case of ferroelectric domain wall (FEDW) devices, an exciting frontier has emerged: memristor-based information storage and processing approaches. Memristor solid-state FEDW devices presented thus far, however predominantly utilize a complex network of domain walls to achieve the desired regulation of density and charge state.

A method has been developed for manufacturing biological microchips on an aluminum substrate with hydrophilic cells from brush copolymers with the formation of a matrix of cells using photolithography. The surface of aluminum substrates was previously coated with a thin, durable, moderately hydrophobic layer of cross-linked polymer to prevent contact with the aluminum surface of the components used in the analysis of nucleic acids. Aluminum biochip substrates have high thermal conductivity and low heat capacity, which is important for the development of methods for multiplex PCR analysis on a chip.

Big data and artificial intelligence are driving increasing demand for high-density data storage. Probe-based data storage, such as mechanical storage using an atomic force microscope tip, is a potential solution with storage densities exceeding hard disks. However, the storage medium must be modifiable on the nanoscale.

Article Synopsis
  • The Chepaizi Uplift in northwestern China is a key area for exploring uranium resources, particularly in the newly identified Neogene Shawan Formation.
  • This study employs advanced techniques like scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction to analyze uranium minerals and understand their geochemical properties.
  • The research reveals that uranium mineralization in the Shawan Formation occurred in two stages, influenced by a dry climate and processes involving lateral migration of oxygenated waters followed by hydrocarbons affecting mineral deposits.

Article Synopsis
  • The review discusses the pathobiology of acute myocardial infarction, highlighting the mechanisms behind ischemic and toxic injury in heart cells, with insights gained over the past seventy years from the author's extensive research experience.
  • It emphasizes the role of increased intracellular calcium and ATP depletion in the progression of cardiomyocyte injury, identifying oncosis as a key early stage of injury that can lead to irreversible cell damage.
  • The study also explores how different energy impairment levels in cardiomyocytes can result in varying types of cell death, including apoptosis and autophagy, and discusses ongoing efforts to translate these findings into treatments for heart conditions.
