Methods: 100 cases of gastric carcinoma tissues (50 cases with lymph node metastasis, 50 cases negative) and 30 cases of normal gastric tissues were gathered to detect the expressions of VEGF-C and D proteins by immunohistochemistry. Results: VEGF-C and D were revealed in cytoplasm of gastric carcinoma tissues and normal gastric tissues. The positive rates of VEGF-C and D expressions were significantly higher in gastric cancer tissues than those in the normal ones (51%, 60% vs 10%, 20% respectively; both P < 0.05). There were significant correlations be- tween the positive expression of VEGF-D and lymph node metastasis, lymphatic invasion, positive expression of VEGF-C, but not with tumour size, tissue differentiation, and venous invasion. Conclusion: The expression of VEGF-D is closely related to lymph node metastasis in gastric carcinoma.展开更多

It is found that there exists a critical depth for each crack. Then, factors influencing ice slope stability such as slope ratio, slope height, ice cohesion, internal friction angle, unit weight and temperature were analyzed. Meanwhile, a regression equation between the aforementioned factors and safety factor is obtained, with which sensitivity analysis is carried out. The performance function is built in combination with random distribution of physical and mechanical parameters to analyze the reliability index. The Advanced First Order Second Moment Method is employed on the solution to the perfor- mance function. The one-way coupling system of ice slope stability is therefore formed based on safety factor and reliability index. Finally, an illustrated example of ice slope is provided, which shows that failure probability is relatively high, up to 6.18%, alt- hough safety factor is 2.77. Thus, it is objective and reasonable to apply the coupled system method to the slope stability rating.展开更多

文摘g-C3N4 is a metal-free semiconductor and a potential candidate for photocatalytic H2 production,however,the drawbacks,rapid recombination rate and limited migration efficiency of photogenerated carriers,restrict its photocatalytic activity.Herein,Co(II)as a hole cocatalyst modified P-doped g-C3N4 were successfully prepared to ameliorate the separation efficiency of photoinduced carriers and enhance the photocatalytic hydrogen production.The photocatalytic results demonstrated that the P-doped g-C3N4(PCN)exhibited higher photocatalytic activity compared with pure g-C3N4,while Co(II)/PCN photocatalyst exhibited further enhancement of photocatalytic performance.The proposed possible mechanism based on various characterizations is that P-doping can modulate the electronic structure of g-C3N4 to boost the separation of photogenerated-e-and h+;while the synergistic effect of both Co(II)(as hole cocatalyst)and Pt(as electron cocatalyst)can not only lead to the directional shunting of photogenerated e+-h?pairs,but further accelerate the photogenerated electrons transfer to Pt in order to join the photocatalytic reduction process for hydrogen evolution.As a result,the transportation and separation of photoinduced carriers were accelerated to greatest extent in the Pt/Co(II)/PCN photocatalyst.

文摘Hexaploid triticale(×Triticosecale,AABBRR)is an important forage crop and a promising energy plant.Transferring D-genome chromosomes or segments from common wheat(Triticum aestivum)into hexaploid triticale is attractive in improving its economically important traits.Here,a hexaploid triticale 6D(6A)substitution line Lin 456 derived from the cross between the octoploid triticale line H400 and the hexaploid wheat Lin 56 was identified and analyzed by genomic in situ hybridization(GISH),fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH),and molecular markers.The GISH analysis showed that Lin 456 is a hexaploid triticalewith 14 rye(Secale cereale)chromosomes and 28 wheat chromosomes,whereas non-denaturing fluorescence in situ hybridization(ND-FISH)and molecular marker analysis revealed that it is a 6D(6A)substitution line.In contrast to previous studies,the signal of Oligo-pSc119.2 was observed at the distal end of 6DL in Lin 456.The wheat chromosome 6D was associatedwith increased grain weight and decreased spikelet number using the genotypic data combined with the phenotypes of the F2 population in the three environments.The thousand-grain weight and grain width in the substitution individuals were significantly higher than those in the non-substitution individuals in the F2 population across the three environments.We propose that the hexaploid triticale 6D(6A)substitution line Lin 456 can be a valuable and promising donor stock for genetic improvement during triticale breeding.

文摘Taking advantage of heat absorbing and releasing capability of phase change material(PCM),Paraffin wax-based concrete was prepared to assess its automatic temperature control performance.The mechanical properties of PCM concrete with eight different Paraffin wax contents were tested by the cube compression test and four-point bending test.The more Paraffin wax incorporated,the greater loss of the compressive strength and bending strength.Based on the mechanical results,four contents of Paraffin wax were chosen for studying PCM concrete's thermal properties,including thermal conductivity,thermal diffusivity,specific heat capacity,thermal expansion coefficient and adiabatic temperature rise.When the Paraffin wax content increases from 10%to 20%,the thermal conductivity and the thermal diffusivity decrease from 7.31 kJ/(m·h·°C)to 7.10 kJ/(m·h·°C)and from 3.03×10−3 m2/h to 2.44×10−3 m2/h,respectively.Meanwhile the specific heat capacity and thermal expansion coefficient rise from 5.38×10−1 kJ/(kg·°C)to 5.76×10−1 kJ/(kg·°C)and from 9.63×10−6/°C to 14.02×10−6/°C,respectively.The adiabatic temperature rise is found to decrease with an increasing Paraffin wax content.Considering both the mechanical and thermal properties,15%of Paraffin wax was elected for the mass concrete model test,and the model test results confirm the effect of Paraffin wax in automatic mass concrete temperature control.

文摘Objective: To investigate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D) in gastric cancer and its relationship with lymph node metastasis. Methods: 100 cases of gastric carcinoma tissues (50 cases with lymph node metastasis, 50 cases negative) and 30 cases of normal gastric tissues were gathered to detect the expressions of VEGF-C and D proteins by immunohistochemistry. Results: VEGF-C and D were revealed in cytoplasm of gastric carcinoma tissues and normal gastric tissues. The positive rates of VEGF-C and D expressions were significantly higher in gastric cancer tissues than those in the normal ones (51%, 60% vs 10%, 20% respectively; both P < 0.05). There were significant correlations be- tween the positive expression of VEGF-D and lymph node metastasis, lymphatic invasion, positive expression of VEGF-C, but not with tumour size, tissue differentiation, and venous invasion. Conclusion: The expression of VEGF-D is closely related to lymph node metastasis in gastric carcinoma.

文摘Based on the Simplified Bishop Method, the minimum safety factor of ice slope both with and without tension cracks is calculated in combination with triaxial compression tests. It is found that there exists a critical depth for each crack. Then, factors influencing ice slope stability such as slope ratio, slope height, ice cohesion, internal friction angle, unit weight and temperature were analyzed. Meanwhile, a regression equation between the aforementioned factors and safety factor is obtained, with which sensitivity analysis is carried out. The performance function is built in combination with random distribution of physical and mechanical parameters to analyze the reliability index. The Advanced First Order Second Moment Method is employed on the solution to the perfor- mance function. The one-way coupling system of ice slope stability is therefore formed based on safety factor and reliability index. Finally, an illustrated example of ice slope is provided, which shows that failure probability is relatively high, up to 6.18%, alt- hough safety factor is 2.77. Thus, it is objective and reasonable to apply the coupled system method to the slope stability rating.

文摘Red phosphor is an important component of the phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes(pcWLEDs).The development of the novel red phosphor with excellent luminescence properties is of great significance for high performance WLEDs.In this study,NaGd_(0.4)Eu_(0.6)Mg_(1-x)Zn_(x)WO_(6)red phosphors with excellent luminescence properties were successfully synthesized and systematically investigated.Our results show that the Zn^(2+)-doping concentration has significant effect on the microstructures and luminescence properties of the NaGd_(0.4)Eu_(0.6)Mg_(1-x)Zn_(x)WO_(6)phosphors.The NaGd_(0.4)Eu_(0.6)Mg_(1-x)ZnxWO_(6)(0≤x≤0.7)samples are well crystallized pure solid solution sub-microcrystals,whereas the phase purity gradually decreases at 0.7<x≤1.0.The NaGd_(0.4)Eu_(0.6)Mg_(1-x)ZnxWO_(6)(0<x≤0.5)phosphors have stronger emissions than NaGd_(0.4)Eu_(0.6)MgWO_(6),and the optimized NaGd_(0.4)Eu_(0.6)Mg_(0.9)Zn_(0.1)WO_(6)phosphor possesses the best luminescence properties including thermal stability,CIE chromaticity coordinate,life time and quantum yield.The packaged WLED using NaGd_(0.4)Eu_(0.6)Mg_(0.9)Zn_(0.1)WO_(6)phosphor emits bright white light with higher CRI,lower CCT,and chromaticity coordinate close to the pure white light.The developed NaGd_(0.4)Eu_(0.6)Mg_(1-x)Zn_(x)WO_(6)phosphors have potential application in lighting and display.This work can offer an effective strategy for boosting luminescence properties of tungstate phosphors with the double perovskite structure.

文摘The highly ordered film assembled by regularly 1D nanostructures has potentialprospects in electronic,photoelectronic and other fields because of its excellentlight-trapping effect and electronic transport property.However,the controlledgrowth of highly ordered film remains a great challenge.Herein,large-area andhighly ordered Bi_(2)S_(3)film is synthesized on fluorophlogopite mica substrate bychemical vapor deposition method.The Bi2S3 film features hollowed-outcrosslinked network structure,assembled by 1D nanobelts that regularly distributein three orientations,which agrees well with the first principles calculations.Based on the as-grown Bi_(2)S_(3)film,the broadband photodetector with a responserange from 365 to 940 nm is fabricated,exhibiting a maximum responsivity upto 98.51 mA W^(–1),specific detectivity of 2.03×10^(10)Jones and fast response timeof 35.19 ms.The stable instantaneous on/off behavior for 500 cycles and reliablephotoresponse characteristics of the Bi_(2)S_(3)photodetector after storage in air for6 months confirm its excellent long-term stability and air stability.Significantly,as sensing pixel and signal receiving terminal,the device successfully achieveshigh-resolution imaging of characters of“H”,“I”and“T”,and secure transmissionof confidential information.This work shows a great potential of the largeareaand highly ordered Bi_(2)S_(3)film toward the development of future multiplefunctional photoelectronic applications.

文摘Pd-based metallic nanosheets with advanced physicochemical properties have been widely prepared and employed in various electrocatalytic reactions.However,few concerns were focused on their multiple performances in different electrocatalysis.Here,highly curved and ultrathin PdNiRu nanosheets(NSs)are developed by facile wet-chemistry strategy and exhibit excellent electrocatalytic performance toward both oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)and ethylene glycol oxidation reaction(EGOR).Owing to the synergistically structural(e.g.,ultrathin,curved,defects/steps-rich)and compositional(ternary alloy)advantages,PdNiRu NSs exhibited enhanced ORR and EGOR specific/mass activities and better stability/durability than control electrocatalysts.The specific activity(5.52 mA·cm^(−2))and mass activity(1.13 A·mg_(Pd)^(−1))of the PdNiRu NSs in ORR are 4.8 and 3.4 times as the ones of commercial Pt/C,respectively.The mass activity of PdNiRu NSs(3.86 A·mg_(Pd)^(−1))in EGOR is 2.6 times as commercial Pd/C(1.51 A·mg_(Pd)^(−1)).This study is helpful for the development of desired electrocatalysts with multi-functional application in practical fuel cells.

文摘S-scheme heterojunction engineering is an effective strategy to attain distinctive photocatalysts.Herein,a carbon dots modulated S-scheme hetero-structured photocatalyst of Cd_(0.5)Zn_(0.5)S nanoparticles/Bi_(2)MoO_(6) microspheres/carbon dots (CZCBM),aiming to conquer the photo-corrosion and strengthen the photocatalytic property of Cd_(0.5)Zn_(0.5)S,was developed via a facile solvothermal route.Under visible light,the optimal CZCBM-2 affords a 1.8-,1.5-,or 0.6-time reinforcement in the oxytetracycline degradation rate constant compared to Bi_(2)MoO_(6),Cd_(0.5)Zn_(0.5)S or Cd_(0.5)Zn_(0.5)S/Bi_(2)MoO_(6),which is credited to the strengthened visible-light response,increased reactive sites,and efficient dissolution of photo-carriers with optimal redox capacity because of the co-effect of carbon dots and S-scheme heterostructure.Significantly,the photo-corrosion of Cd_(0.5)Zn_(0.5)S is significantly suppressed and CZCBM-2 affords superior stability and reusability during cycling tests.Besides,CZCBM-2 can be well adapted to various environments.The toxicology appraisement unravels the decreased eco-toxicity of most intermediates compared to oxytetracycline.Lastly,an S-scheme charge transfer mechanism with carbon dots as electron reservoir in CZCBM is deduced,which uncloses that •O_(2)− and h+ dominantly account for oxytetracycline eradication and detoxification.This study demonstrates the design of unique carbon dots favored S-scheme heterostructures as an effective “Two Birds with One Stone” strategy to achieve high anti-photo-corrosion performance and reinforced photocatalytic performance of sulfides.
