    Description: To better understand smoking cessation, we examined the actions of varenicline (Chantix) during long-term nicotine exposure. Varenicline reduced nicotine upregulation of α4β2-type nicotinic receptors (α4β2Rs) in live cells and neurons, but not for membrane preparations. Effects on upregulation depended on intracellular pH homeostasis and were not observed if acidic pH in intracellular compartments was neutralized. Varenicline was trapped as a weak base in acidic compartments and slowly released, blocking 125I-epibatidine binding and desensitizing α4β2Rs. Epibatidine itself was trapped; 125I-epibatidine slow release from acidic vesicles was directly measured and required the presence of α4β2Rs. Nicotine exposure increased epibatidine trapping by increasing the numbers of acidic vesicles containing α4β2Rs. We conclude that varenicline as a smoking cessation agent differs from nicotine through trapping in α4β2R-containing acidic vesicles that is selective and nicotine-regulated. Our results provide a new paradigm for how smoking cessation occurs and suggest how more effective smoking cessation reagents can be designed.

P., Jeyifous, O., Russell, T. A., Yi, Z., Weigel, A., Ramaprasad, A., Newell, L., Ramos, W., Valbuena, F. M., Casler, J. C., Yan, J.-Z., Glick, B. S., Swanson, G. T., Lippincott-Schwartz, J., & Green, W. N. Activity-dependent Golgi satellite formation in dendrites reshapes the neuronal surface glycoproteome. Elife, 10, (2021): e68910, https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.68910.
    Description: Activity-driven changes in the neuronal surface glycoproteome are known to occur with synapse formation, plasticity, and related diseases, but their mechanistic basis and significance are unclear. Here, we observed that N-glycans on surface glycoproteins of dendrites shift from immature to mature forms containing sialic acid in response to increased neuronal activation. In exploring the basis of these N-glycosylation alterations, we discovered that they result from the growth and proliferation of Golgi satellites scattered throughout the dendrite. Golgi satellites that formed during neuronal excitation were in close association with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) exit sites and early endosomes and contained glycosylation machinery without the Golgi structural protein, GM130. They functioned as distal glycosylation stations in dendrites, terminally modifying sugars either on newly synthesized glycoproteins passing through the secretory pathway or on surface glycoproteins taken up from the endocytic pathway. These activities led to major changes in the dendritic surface of excited neurons, impacting binding and uptake of lectins, as well as causing functional changes in neurotransmitter receptors such as nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Neural activity thus boosts the activity of the dendrite’s satellite micro-secretory system by redistributing Golgi enzymes involved in glycan modifications into peripheral Golgi satellites. This remodeling of the neuronal surface has potential significance for synaptic plasticity, addiction, and disease.

    Notes: Temperature and frequency dependence of the real (ε′) and imaginary (ε″) parts of the dielectric permittivity of Ba(Ti1−yYy)O3 (0.028≤y≤0.258) ceramic samples were studied in the temperature range 12–500 K at 102, 103, and 104, and 105 Hz. The permittivity peaks are rounded and frequency dispersive when y〉0.028. The maximum of the rounded peak (εm′) decreases with an increase in the yttrium concentration. The temperature corresponding to the permittivity maximum is linearly shifted to lower temperatures at a rate of 29 K per molar percent of yttrium when y≤0.122, but it remains constant when y≥0.122. The solid solubility limit of 0.122 is confirmed. Typical relaxor behavior was observed and characterized with empirical parameters in Ba(Ti1−yYy)O3 solid solutions. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We give the analytical fundamental dark soliton solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrodinger equation [(2+1)-D NSE]. The solutions reduce to (1+1)-D dark soliton solutions when the width of soliton in one transverse direction is much wider than that in the other direction, which is in good agreement with the experimental observation of the dark spatial solitons. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The effects of finite temporal duration on the spatial solitons in a planar optical waveguide are analyzed. The results show that (i) the self-trapped pulses with finite temporal duration are unstable and collapse at higher peak power in a planar optical waveguide with the anomalous group velocity dispersion (GVD), but the collapse does not occur in a planar optical waveguide with the normal GVD; (ii) the spatial soliton with finite temporal duration has a transverse velocity which is proportional to the spatial width and inversely proportional to the temporal duration of the soliton, and the bright spatiotemporal solitons do not form multiple soliton bound states; and (iii) the peak power required for self-trapping of the pulse in a planar optical waveguide with the normal GVD is less than the critical peak power for collapse of the pulses in a planar optical waveguide with the anomalous GVD. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Rod-shaped oxide eutectic ceramics fabricated through SHS process can acquire outstandingmechanical properties. First, Eshebly-Mori-Tanaka method was used to study Thermal Stress Field ofrod-shaped oxide eutectic ceramics, and then average strain of rod-shaped oxide eutectic ceramicsaroused thermal inconsistency is obtained. The effective thermal expansion longitudinal strain andtransverse strain of rod-shaped oxide eutectic ceramics are determined by the average strain. Rod-shapedoxide eutectic ceramics is transverse isotropy and has two independent thermal expansion coefficients.The results show that the thermal expansion coefficients of rod shaped oxide eutectic ceramics aredependent on the diameter of nano-fiber. The thermal expansion coefficients will decrease when thediameter of nano-fiber decrease. When the diameter of nano-fiber is bigger than 300nm, the thermalexpansion coefficients of rod shaped oxide eutectic ceramics is constants

    Notes: In electric discharge manufacturing, especially to the complex part finishing machining, electrode wear effects the electrode’s life-span and the work pieces precision in both dimension and geometry. Although it is more difficult to explain the exact mechanism of metal erosion in sparking, the basic phenomenon that the work materials near the channels melted, vaporized, and then flushed off in the dielectric liquid has suggested that the mechanism of electrode wear is based on a thermalconduction process governed by heat generating from arc channels and dissipating into the tool and the work. On the basis of a review of the other researchers’ work and analysis to the thermal conduction phenomenon, this paper presents an electrode wear model based on heat conduction. Finite element is employed to solve the heat conduction model of wear, and in addition, a theoretic planar sunken function at electrode surface impacted by plasma flow is established. Someexperiments and simulations are made to verify the hypothetic model, and the conclusions that the simulation result of erosion figure and erosion trend of the material are correspond to the hypothetic model are confirmed

    Notes: The chemical ionization mass spectra of cyclic glycols and monosaccharides using formaldehyde dimethyl acetal as reagent gas have been studied. In the gas phase, the stereospecific reaction of methylene acetal formation was observed. From the relative abundances of the characteristic ions the stereoisomers of these compounds may be definitely distinguished.
