Seventy male rats were randomly divided into seven groups: Healthy controls(HC), ulcerative colitis model group(UC), UC with 7 d of moxibustion(UC-7), UC with 14 d of moxibustion(UC-14), UC with mesalazine gavage(UC-W), HC with 7 d of moxibustion(HC-7), HC with 14 d of moxibustion(HC-14). Moxibustion was applied to the bilateral Tianshu(ST25). Gut microbiome profiling was conducted by 16 S r RNA amplicon sequencing, and PCR and ELISA determined the expression of inflammatory cytokines in colon mucosa and serum, respectively. RESULTS Moxibustion treatment restored the colonic mucosa and decreased submucosal inflammatory cell infiltration in colitis rats. Rats treated with moxibustion and mesalazine had significantly lower levels of the dominant phyla Proteobacteria and the genera Saccharibacteria, Sphingomonas and Barnesiella than colitis rats, and they could restore the microbiome to levels similar to those observed in healthy rats. UC rats had reduced alpha diversity, which could be alleviated by moxibustion therapy, and UC-7 had a higher alpha diversity than UC-14. This finding suggests that short-term(7 d) but no longer term(14 d) moxibustion treatment may significantly affect the gut microbiome. The potential bacterial functions affected by moxibustion may be ascorbate and aldarate metabolism, and amino acid metabolism. Compared with HC group, the levels of the cytokines interleukin-12(IL-12)(P < 0.05) and IL-6, IL-17, IL-23, interferon-γ, lipopolysaccharide, Ig A, tumour necrosis factor-α and its receptors 1(TNFR1) and TNFR2(P < 0.01) were all increased, whereas anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-2 and IL-10(P < 0.01) and transforming growth factor-β(P < 0.05) were decreased in UC rats. These changes were reversed by moxibustion.CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that moxibustion exerts its therapeutic effect by repairing mucosal tissue damage and modulating the gut microbiome and intestinal mucosal immunity.展开更多

The effects of sintering temperature on phase constitution, pore structure and oxidation resistance of porous Fe-Al intermetallics were systematically investigated. Porous Fe-Al materials with high open porosity（65%） are synthesized via a low-energy consumption method of TE at a temperature of 636 ℃ and FeAl intermetallic is evolved as dominant phase in sintered materials at 1000 ℃. The porous materials are composed of interconnected skeleton, large pores among skeleton and small pores in the interior of skeleton. The interstitial pores in green powder compacts are the important source of large pores of porous Fe-Al intermetallics, and the in-situ pores from the melting and flowing of aluminum powders are also significant to the formation of large pores. Small pores are from the precipitation of Fe-Al intermetallics particles. In addition, the porous specimens exhibit high resistance to oxidation at 650 ℃ in air.展开更多

National standard materials for serum HBV and a worldwide HBV DNA panel were employed for performance verification. The analytical performance, such as limit of detection, limit of quantification, accuracy, precision, reproducibility, linearity, genotype coverage and cross-contamination, was determined using the Tian Long automatic hypersensitive HBV DNA quantification system(TL system). Correlation and Bland-Altman plot analyses were carried out to compare the clinical performance of the TL system assay and the CAP/CTM system. RESULTS The detection limit of the TL system was 10 IU/m L, and its limit of quantification was 30 IU/m L. The differences between the expected and tested concentrations of the national standards were less than ± 0.4 Log10 IU/m L, which showed high accuracy of the system. Results of the precision, reproducibility and linearity tests showed that the multiple test coefficient of variation(CV) of the same sample was less than 5% for 102-106 IU/m L; and for 30-108 IU/m L, the linear correlation coefficient r2 = 0.99. The TL system detected HBV DNA(A-H) genotypes and there was no cross-contamination during the "checkerboard" test. When compared with the CAP/CTM assay, the two assays showed 100% consistency in both negative and positive sample results(15 negative samples and 185 positive samples). No statistical differences between the two assays in the HBV DNA quantification values were observed(P > 0.05). Correlation analysis indicated a significant correlation between the two assays, r2 = 0.9774. The Bland-Altman plot analysis showed that 98.9% of the positive data were within the 95% acceptable range, and the maximum difference was-0.49.CONCLUSION The TL system has good analytical performance, and exhibits good agreement with the CAP/CTM system in clinical performance.展开更多

In this work, fully conjugated block copolymers are synthesized in a one-pot reaction through Stille coupling polycondensation, by utilizing the end-functional polymer copolymerization method. End-functional P3HT are copolymerized with AA （2,7-dihromo-9-（heptadecan-9-yl）-9H- carbazole） and BB （4,7-bis（5-（trimethylstannyl）thiophen-2-yl）benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole, TBT） type monomers, respectively. The orthogonal solubility between the very soluble P3HT donor and the insoluble PCDTBT acceptor block improves the purity of block copolymers as well as distinct nano-scale phase-separation compared with other reports on miscibility of donor and acceptor polymer block. Further purification via preparative GPC is carried out to remove the excess of unreacted P3HT and free PCDTBT as well as to achieve low polydispersity of block copolymers. The chemical structure of the P3HT- b-PCDTBT block copolymers are verified via IH-NMR, and further confirmed by FTIR spectra. The block copolymer shows broad absorption and moderate optical band gap of 1.8 eV. Furthermore, the fully conjugated block copolymer films exhibit significant fine structures, much smoother film morphology compared to P3HT/PCDTBT polymer blends. By adding a small amount of block copolymer P3HT-b-PCDTBT as a compatibilizer into the bulk-heterojunction of P3HT：PC61BM blends, polymer solar ceils with an 8% increase of short circuit current （Jse） and 10% increase of power conversion efficiency （PCE） are achieved owing to the improvement of the active-layer film morphology. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on donor-acceptor type fully conjugated block copolymer as an effective ternary additive in polymer： fullerene bulk heterojunction solar cells.展开更多

The dynamic reliability analysis for the project is still in search of domestic and international research in the exploration stage. By now, dynamic reliability research mainly concentrates on the reliability assessment; the methods mainly include dynamic fault tree, extension of event sequence diagram and Monte Carlo simulation, and et al. The paper aims to research the dynamic reliability optimization. On the basis of analysis of the four quality influence factors in the construction engineering, a method based on gray correlation degree is employed to calculate the weights of factors affecting construction process quality. Then the weights are added into the reliability improvement feasible index （RIFI）. Furthermore, a novel nonlinear programming mathematic optimization model is established. In the Insight software environment, the Adaptive Simulated Annealing （ASA） algorithm is used to get a more accurate construction subsystem optimal reliability under different RIFI conditions. In addition, the relationship between construction quality and construction system reliability is analyzed, the proposed methods and detailed processing can offer a useful reference for improving the construction system quality level.展开更多

Compared with HC group, the levels of the cytokines interleukin-12(IL-12)(P < 0.05) and IL-6, IL-17, IL-23, interferon-γ, lipopolysaccharide, Ig A, tumour necrosis factor-α and its receptors 1(TNFR1) and TNFR2(P < 0.01) were all increased, whereas anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-2 and IL-10(P < 0.01) and transforming growth factor-β(P < 0.05) were decreased in UC rats. These changes were reversed by moxibustion.CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that moxibustion exerts its therapeutic effect by repairing mucosal tissue damage and modulating the gut microbiome and intestinal mucosal immunity.

文摘Porous FeAl-based intermetallics were fabricated by thermal explosion（TE） from Fe and Al powders. The effects of sintering temperature on phase constitution, pore structure and oxidation resistance of porous Fe-Al intermetallics were systematically investigated. Porous Fe-Al materials with high open porosity（65%） are synthesized via a low-energy consumption method of TE at a temperature of 636 ℃ and FeAl intermetallic is evolved as dominant phase in sintered materials at 1000 ℃. The porous materials are composed of interconnected skeleton, large pores among skeleton and small pores in the interior of skeleton. The interstitial pores in green powder compacts are the important source of large pores of porous Fe-Al intermetallics, and the in-situ pores from the melting and flowing of aluminum powders are also significant to the formation of large pores. Small pores are from the precipitation of Fe-Al intermetallics particles. In addition, the porous specimens exhibit high resistance to oxidation at 650 ℃ in air.

文摘BACKGROUND Ulcerative colitis(UC)is a chronic,nonspecific intestinal inflammatory disease.Acupuncture and moxibustion is proved effective in treating UC,but the mechanism has not been clarified.Proteomic technology has revealed a variety of biological markers related to immunity and inflammation in UC,which provide new insights and directions for the study of mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of UC.AIM To investigate the mechanism of electroacupuncture(EA)and herb-partitioned moxibustion(HM)on UC rats by using proteomics technology.METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the normal(N)group,the dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)-induced UC model(M)group,the HM group,and the EA group.UC rat model was prepared with 3%DSS,and HM and EA interventions at the bilateral Tianshu and Qihai acupoints were performed in HM or EA group.Haematoxylin and eosin staining was used for morphological evaluation of colon tissues.Isotope-labeled relative and absolute quantification(iTRAQ)and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry were performed for proteome analysis of the colon tissues,followed by bioinformatics analysis and protein-protein interaction networks establishment of differentially expressed proteins(DEPs)between groups.Then western blot was used for verification of selected DEPs.RESULTS The macroscopic colon injury scores and histopathology scores in the HM and EA groups were significantly decreased compared to the rats in the M group(P<0.01).Compared with the N group,a total of 202 DEPs were identified in the M group,including 111 up-regulated proteins and 91 down-regulated proteins,of which 25 and 15 proteins were reversed after HM and EA interventions,respectively.The DEPs were involved in various biological processes such as biological regulation,immune system progression and in multiple pathways including natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity,intestinal immune network for immunoglobulin A(IgA)production,and FcγR-mediated phagocytosis.The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways of DEPs between HM and M groups,EA and M groups both included immuneassociated and oxidative phosphorylation.Network analysis revealed that multiple pathways for the DEPs of each group were involved in protein-protein interactions,and the expression of oxidative phosphorylation pathway-related proteins,including ATP synthase subunit g(ATP5L),ATP synthase beta subunit precursor(Atp5f),cytochrome c oxidase subunit 4 isoform 1(Cox4i1)were down-regulated after HM and EA interventions.Subsequent verification of selected DEPs(Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A;nuclear cap binding protein subunit 1;carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1;Cox4i1;ATP synthase subunit b,Atp5f1;doublecortin like kinase 3)by western blot confirmed the reliability of the iTRAQ data,HM and EA interventions can significantly downregulate the expression of oxidative phosphorylation-associated proteins(Cox4i1,Atp5f1)(P<0.01).CONCLUSION EA and HM could regulate the expression of ATP5L,Atp5f1,Cox4i1 that associated with oxidative phosphorylation,then might regulate immune-related pathways of intestinal immune network for IgA production,FcγR-mediated phagocytosis,thereby alleviating colonic inflammation of DSSinduced UC rats.

文摘Casing corrosion during CO2 injection or storage results in significant economic loss and increased production risks.Therefore,in this paper,a corroded casing risk assessment model based on analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation is established to identify potential risks in time.First,the corrosion rate and residual strength characteristics are analyzed through corrosion tests and numerical simulations,respectively,to determine the risk factors that may lead to an accident.Then,an index system for corroded casing risk evaluation is established based on six important factors:temperature,CO2 partial pressure,flow velocity,corrosion radius,corrosion depth and wellhead pressure.Subsequently,the index weights are calculated via the analytic hierarchy process.Finally,the risk level of corroded casing is obtained via the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation.The corroded casing risk assessment model has been verified by a case well,which shows that the model is valuable and feasible.It provides an effective decision-making method for the risk evaluation of corroded casing in CO2 injection well,which is conductive to improve the wellbore operation efficiency.

文摘Hepatitis B virus X(HBx)protein plays a pivotal role in the development of hepatitis B virus(HBV)-associated hepatocellular carcinoma.Although regulation of cytosolic calcium is essential for HBV replication and is mediated by HBx protein,the mechanism of HBx protein regulating intracellular calcium level remains poorly understood.The present study examined whether HBx protein elevated the intracellular calcium through interacting with storeoperated calcium entry(SOCE)components,Orai1 and stromal interaction molecule 1,and then identified the targets of HBx protein,with an attempt to understand the mechanism of HBx protein upsetting intracellular calcium homeostasis.By employing co-immunoprecipitation and GST-pull-down assay,we found that Orai1 protein interacted with HBx protein,and the C-terminus of Orai1 was implicated in the interaction.Confocal microscopy also revealed that HBx protein could co-localize with full-length Orai1 protein in HEK293 cells.Moreover,live cell calcium imaging exhibited that HBx protein elevated intracellular calcium,possibly by binding to SOCE components.Our results suggest that HBx protein binds to STIM1-Orai1 complexes to positively regulate the activity of plasma membrane store-operated calcium channels.
文摘AIM To investigate and compare the analytical and clinical performance of Tian Long automatic hypersensitive hepatitis B virus(HBV) DNA quantification system and Roche CAP/CTM system.METHODS Two hundred blood samples for HBV DNA testing, HBV-DNA negative samples and high-titer HBV-DNA mixture samples were collected and prepared. National standard materials for serum HBV and a worldwide HBV DNA panel were employed for performance verification. The analytical performance, such as limit of detection, limit of quantification, accuracy, precision, reproducibility, linearity, genotype coverage and cross-contamination, was determined using the Tian Long automatic hypersensitive HBV DNA quantification system(TL system). Correlation and Bland-Altman plot analyses were carried out to compare the clinical performance of the TL system assay and the CAP/CTM system. RESULTS The detection limit of the TL system was 10 IU/m L, and its limit of quantification was 30 IU/m L. The differences between the expected and tested concentrations of the national standards were less than ± 0.4 Log10 IU/m L, which showed high accuracy of the system. Results of the precision, reproducibility and linearity tests showed that the multiple test coefficient of variation(CV) of the same sample was less than 5% for 102-106 IU/m L; and for 30-108 IU/m L, the linear correlation coefficient r2 = 0.99. The TL system detected HBV DNA(A-H) genotypes and there was no cross-contamination during the "checkerboard" test. When compared with the CAP/CTM assay, the two assays showed 100% consistency in both negative and positive sample results(15 negative samples and 185 positive samples). No statistical differences between the two assays in the HBV DNA quantification values were observed(P > 0.05). Correlation analysis indicated a significant correlation between the two assays, r2 = 0.9774. The Bland-Altman plot analysis showed that 98.9% of the positive data were within the 95% acceptable range, and the maximum difference was-0.49.CONCLUSION The TL system has good analytical performance, and exhibits good agreement with the CAP/CTM system in clinical performance.
文摘The microstructures and corrosion behaviors of the Al−6.5Si−0.45Mg casting alloys with the addition of Sc were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy,X-ray diffraction,electrochemical measurement techniques and immersion corrosion tests and compared with those of Sr-modified alloy.The results show that Sc has evident refining and modifying effects on the primaryα(Al)and the eutectic Si phase of the alloy,and the effects can be enhanced with the increase of Sc content.When the Sc content is increased to 0.58 wt.%,its modifying effect on the eutectic Si is almost same as that of Sr.Sc can improve the corrosion resistance of the test alloy in NaCl solution when compared with Sr,but the excessively high Sc content cannot further increase the corrosion resistance of the alloy.The corrosion of the alloys mainly occurs in the eutectic region of the alloy,and mostly the eutecticα(Al)is dissolved.This confirms that Si phase is more noble thanα(Al)phase,and the galvanic couplings can be formed between the eutectic Si andα(Al)phases.

文摘Donor-acceptor （D-A） type fully conjugated block copolymer systems have been rarely reported due to the challenges in synthetic approaches to prepare well-defined low-polydispersity products. In this work, fully conjugated block copolymers are synthesized in a one-pot reaction through Stille coupling polycondensation, by utilizing the end-functional polymer copolymerization method. End-functional P3HT are copolymerized with AA （2,7-dihromo-9-（heptadecan-9-yl）-9H- carbazole） and BB （4,7-bis（5-（trimethylstannyl）thiophen-2-yl）benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole, TBT） type monomers, respectively. The orthogonal solubility between the very soluble P3HT donor and the insoluble PCDTBT acceptor block improves the purity of block copolymers as well as distinct nano-scale phase-separation compared with other reports on miscibility of donor and acceptor polymer block. Further purification via preparative GPC is carried out to remove the excess of unreacted P3HT and free PCDTBT as well as to achieve low polydispersity of block copolymers. The chemical structure of the P3HT- b-PCDTBT block copolymers are verified via IH-NMR, and further confirmed by FTIR spectra. The block copolymer shows broad absorption and moderate optical band gap of 1.8 eV. Furthermore, the fully conjugated block copolymer films exhibit significant fine structures, much smoother film morphology compared to P3HT/PCDTBT polymer blends. By adding a small amount of block copolymer P3HT-b-PCDTBT as a compatibilizer into the bulk-heterojunction of P3HT：PC61BM blends, polymer solar ceils with an 8% increase of short circuit current （Jse） and 10% increase of power conversion efficiency （PCE） are achieved owing to the improvement of the active-layer film morphology. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on donor-acceptor type fully conjugated block copolymer as an effective ternary additive in polymer： fullerene bulk heterojunction solar cells.

文摘The clinical efficacy of acupuncture-moxibustion(AM)mainly depends on acupoints,but the relationship between the acupoints and AM remains unclear.Improving clinical efficacy and clarifying the mechanisms of AM is critical.We found that the specificity and sensitivity of acupoints,the skill of operation,and reasonable amount of stimulation can significantly improve the efficacy of AM.In addition,some studies have shown that Neural-Endocrine-Immune network and metabolites are involved in this process,clarifying the therapeutic mechanism of acupoints.Therefore,how to effectively use acupoints to improve the clinical efficacy of AM is one of the key issues in need of an urgent solution.In summary,this article reviewed the Chinese and English databases on the clinical efficacy and underlying mechanisms of acupoints to clarify the relationship between acupoints and AM efficacy and ultimately improve clinical efficacy through effective and rational use of acupoints.
文摘Dynamic reliability is a very important issue in reliability research. The dynamic reliability analysis for the project is still in search of domestic and international research in the exploration stage. By now, dynamic reliability research mainly concentrates on the reliability assessment; the methods mainly include dynamic fault tree, extension of event sequence diagram and Monte Carlo simulation, and et al. The paper aims to research the dynamic reliability optimization. On the basis of analysis of the four quality influence factors in the construction engineering, a method based on gray correlation degree is employed to calculate the weights of factors affecting construction process quality. Then the weights are added into the reliability improvement feasible index （RIFI）. Furthermore, a novel nonlinear programming mathematic optimization model is established. In the Insight software environment, the Adaptive Simulated Annealing （ASA） algorithm is used to get a more accurate construction subsystem optimal reliability under different RIFI conditions. In addition, the relationship between construction quality and construction system reliability is analyzed, the proposed methods and detailed processing can offer a useful reference for improving the construction system quality level.
