Best corrected visual acuity(BCVA) values were recorded using standard Snellen acuity chart and were converted to logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution(log MAR) scale for statistical analysis. The visual outcome was defined by the final BCVA(excellent visual outcome: final BCVA of 20/40 or better;poor visual outcome: final BCVA less than 20/200). Statistical analysis of collected data was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 23. A 2-tailed P value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant throughout the study. RESULTS: The average age ranged from 1 to 79 years old(mean age, 34.8±12.7 SD) and the majority of patients were men(626, 93.6%). The major cause of ocular injury was hammering(383, 57.2%). Almost all the patients(97.8%) underwent surgeries(97.8%) and the average time interval between injury and surgery was 26.4±322.3 d(0-7300), while 327 patients received surgeries within 24 h(48.9%) and 590 patients received surgeries within seven days(88.2%) after IOFBs injury. The poor BCVA was associated with older age(P=0.013), larger IOFBs size(P<0.001), presence of complications(P<0.001) and worse presenting BCVA(P<0.001). On the contrary, younger age(P=0.005), smaller IOFBs size(P<0.001), absence of complications(P<0.001) and better presenting BCVA(P<0.001) were considered to relate to excellent BCVA.CONCLUSION: Multiple prognostic factors may influence the final visual outcome, including age, size of IOFBs, complications and presenting BCVA. Meanwhile, further education and promotion on eye protection should be taken for the improvement on self-protection and selfhealth awareness.展开更多

The structure,morphology,and radar-absorption properties of the composite powder were characterized by transmission electron microscopy,X-ray diffraction analysis and RF impedance analysis. The results show that two types of particles exist in the composite powder. One is irregular flakes(100–200 nm) and the other is spherical Al_2O_3 particles(smaller than 80 nm). Electromagnetic wave attenuation is mostly achieved by dielectric loss. The maximum value of the dissipation factor reaches 0.76(at 15.68 GHz) in the frequency range of 2–18 GHz. The electromagnetic absorption of waves covers 2–18 GHz with the matching thicknesses of 1.5–4.5 mm. The absorption peak shifts to the lower-frequency area with increasing matching thickness. The effective absorption band covers the frequency range of 2.16–9.76 GHz,and the maximum absorption peak reaches-20.18 d B with a matching thickness of 3.5 mm at a frequency of 3.52 GHz.展开更多

Pt nanocapsules with diameters of less than 10 nm were obtained by an electrochemical method. Cyclic voltammetry(CV) scanning was used to cavitate the Ag@Pt NPs, and the morphology, structure, and cavitation conditions were studied. The results indicate that the effective cavitation conditions to obtain Pt nanoparticles from Ag@Pt NPs are a scanning voltage of 0 to 0.8 V and continuous CV scanning over 2 h. This cavitation method is also applicable for the syntheses of Ir, Ru, and Ru–Pt nanocapsules.展开更多

Recent stud...Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is a prevalent and highly malignant cancer throughout the world.Effective treatment of this disease is impeded by the high rate of metastasis, recurrence, and chemoresistance. Recent studies have revealed the close relationship between the malignant phenotype of HCC and cancer stem cells(CSCs). Therefore, CSC-targeted therapy is considered a promising strategy to eradicate HCC. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) can be effective in preventing recurrence and metastasis of some advanced HCC. A growing amount of literature has discovered that extracts or compounds derived from TCM exert an anti-CSC effect. This review introduces some formulas and chemical compounds derived from TCMs that have been reported to inhibit CSCs of HCC;these TCM-related drugs may help to provide an alternative approach to help manage cancers, especially for HCC which has a great potential of metastasis, recurrence, and chemoresistance.展开更多

文摘AIM:To study the relationship between the CX3CL1chemokine,its receptor CX3CR1,and gastric carcinoma/gastric carcinoma perineural invasion(PNI).METHODS:Thirty cases of gastric carcinoma were surgically resected(radical resection or palliative resection)between February 2012 and July 2012.Tumour and tumour-adjacent tissues were evaluated for the presence of CX3CL1(ELISA)and CX3CR1(immunohistochemistry and Western blotting)in an effort to analyse the relationship between CX3CL1/CX3CR1 and gastric carcinoma/gastric carcinoma PNI.RESULTS:Of these 30 cases,14 were PNI-positive(46.7%).No significant differences in CX3CL and CX3CR1 expression in tumour-adjacent tissues were found between the PNI positive and negative groups.Expression levels of CX3CL and CX3CR1 in tumour tissues were significantly higher than those in adjacent tissues(P<0.01),and were significantly higher in tumour tissues from the PNI-positive group compared to the PNI-negative group(P<0.01).CONCLUSION:CX3CL1/CX3CR1 expression may be associated with the occurrence and development of gastric carcinoma as well as gastric carcinoma PNI.
文摘AIM: To describe the clinical characteristics and analyze prognostic factors that influence visual outcome in 669 patients with intraocular foreign bodies(IOFBs).METHODS: Medical records of 669 patients with IOFBs from West China Hospital were reviewed. Best corrected visual acuity(BCVA) values were recorded using standard Snellen acuity chart and were converted to logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution(log MAR) scale for statistical analysis. The visual outcome was defined by the final BCVA(excellent visual outcome: final BCVA of 20/40 or better;poor visual outcome: final BCVA less than 20/200). Statistical analysis of collected data was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 23. A 2-tailed P value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant throughout the study. RESULTS: The average age ranged from 1 to 79 years old(mean age, 34.8±12.7 SD) and the majority of patients were men(626, 93.6%). The major cause of ocular injury was hammering(383, 57.2%). Almost all the patients(97.8%) underwent surgeries(97.8%) and the average time interval between injury and surgery was 26.4±322.3 d(0-7300), while 327 patients received surgeries within 24 h(48.9%) and 590 patients received surgeries within seven days(88.2%) after IOFBs injury. The poor BCVA was associated with older age(P=0.013), larger IOFBs size(P<0.001), presence of complications(P<0.001) and worse presenting BCVA(P<0.001). On the contrary, younger age(P=0.005), smaller IOFBs size(P<0.001), absence of complications(P<0.001) and better presenting BCVA(P<0.001) were considered to relate to excellent BCVA.CONCLUSION: Multiple prognostic factors may influence the final visual outcome, including age, size of IOFBs, complications and presenting BCVA. Meanwhile, further education and promotion on eye protection should be taken for the improvement on self-protection and selfhealth awareness.

The electromagnetic absorption of waves covers 2–18 GHz with the matching thicknesses of 1.5–4.5 mm. The absorption peak shifts to the lower-frequency area with increasing matching thickness. The effective absorption band covers the frequency range of 2.16–9.76 GHz,and the maximum absorption peak reaches-20.18 d B with a matching thickness of 3.5 mm at a frequency of 3.52 GHz.

文摘The Square Kilometre Array(SKA) will be the world’s largest synthesis radio telescope, which is designed to answer major scientific questions such as those relating to the cosmic origin and fundamental forces in the universe. With the SKA entering into the phase of pre-construction, more than 100 institutes in about 20 countries including China have been involved in the associated key technology development.The Dish Verification Antenna China(DVA-C) is a concept prototype which has been built to meet the requirements of the SKA’s scientific goals. It utilizes a unique skin-and-rib structure with single-piece panel reflectors. This paper presents details on the design and measured performances of DVA-C, as well as the preliminary observational results. Current applications of the DVA-C are also introduced.

文摘The effect of pH value and different kinds of anions on the corrosion behavior of Cu/Al casting-rolled clad plates in the alkaline solution was evaluated by means of scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS),X-ray diffraction(XRD),weight loss analysis,3D confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM)and electrochemical test.Results show the corrosion mainly occurs on the aluminum side.The corrosion resistance of the Cu/Al decreases as the pH value increases.When pH≥12,the dissolution of the film layer is faster than the passivation process.The addition of Cl^(-)ions reduces the corrosion resistance of the Cu/Al clad plates,which leads to pitting corrosion.The higher the concentration of Cl^(-)ions,the more prone the pitting to occur.The addition of SO_(4)^(2-)ions causes the denudation of the samples.The corrosion resistance of the Cu/Al is better in the alkaline solution containing NO_(3)^(-)ions than that in the solution containing Cl^(-)ions or SO_(4)^(2-)ions.When adding SO_(4)^(2-),NO^(3)^(-)and Cl^(-)to the pure alkaline solution,the corrosion resistance of the Cu/Al clad plates decreases.

文摘Ag@Pt core-shell nanoparticles(Ag@Pt NPs) were prepared by a co-reduction method. Pt nanocapsules with diameters of less than 10 nm were obtained by an electrochemical method. Cyclic voltammetry(CV) scanning was used to cavitate the Ag@Pt NPs, and the morphology, structure, and cavitation conditions were studied. The results indicate that the effective cavitation conditions to obtain Pt nanoparticles from Ag@Pt NPs are a scanning voltage of 0 to 0.8 V and continuous CV scanning over 2 h. This cavitation method is also applicable for the syntheses of Ir, Ru, and Ru–Pt nanocapsules.

文摘In this study,we present a supramolecular templating approach for constructing polyimidazolium salt containing crown ether and cyclobutane moieties.This strategy involves the formation of metal-carbene templates,photochemical cycloaddition,and subsequent demetallation of metal ions.Driven by the host-guest chemistry between crown ether units and ammonium salts,we successfully fabricated a supramolecular polymer SPN1,which features imidazolium receptors and cyclobutane units.The obtained SPN1 demonstrates outstanding reversible stimulus-response,antibacterial behavior and conductivity.

文摘Purpose The Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope is China’s first X-ray astronomy satellite launched on June 15,2017,dubbed Insight-HXMT.Active and passive thermal control measures are employed to keep devices at suitable temperatures.In this paper,we analyzed the on-orbit thermal monitoring data of the first 5 years and investigated the effect of thermal deformation on the point spread function(PSF)of the telescopes.Methods We examined the data of the on-orbit temperatures measured using 157 thermistors placed on the collimators,detectors and their support structures and compared the results with the thermal control requirements.The thermal deformation was evaluated by the relative orientation of the two star sensors installed on the main support structure.Its effect was estimated with evolution of the PSF obtained with calibration scanning observations of the Crab nebula.Conclusion The on-orbit temperatures met the thermal control requirements thus far,and the effect of thermal deformation on the PSF was negligible after the on-orbit pointing calibration.

文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is a prevalent and highly malignant cancer throughout the world.Effective treatment of this disease is impeded by the high rate of metastasis, recurrence, and chemoresistance. Recent studies have revealed the close relationship between the malignant phenotype of HCC and cancer stem cells(CSCs). Therefore, CSC-targeted therapy is considered a promising strategy to eradicate HCC. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) can be effective in preventing recurrence and metastasis of some advanced HCC. A growing amount of literature has discovered that extracts or compounds derived from TCM exert an anti-CSC effect. This review introduces some formulas and chemical compounds derived from TCMs that have been reported to inhibit CSCs of HCC;these TCM-related drugs may help to provide an alternative approach to help manage cancers, especially for HCC which has a great potential of metastasis, recurrence, and chemoresistance.
