At the same time, they also cause instantaneous traffic emissions. Based on the classic instantaneous traffic emission model and the limited deceleration capacity microscopic traffic flow model with slow-to-start rules, this paper has investigated the impact of speed humps on traffic flow and the instantaneous emissions of vehicle pollutants in a single lane situation. The numerical simulation results have shown that speed humps have significant effects on traffic flow and traffic emissions. In a free-flow region, the increase of speed humps leads to the continuous rise of CO_(2), NO_(X) and PM emissions. Within some density ranges, one finds that these pollutant emissions can evolve into some higher values under some random seeds. Under other random seeds, they can evolve into some lower values. In a wide moving jam region, the emission values of these pollutants sometimes appear as continuous or intermittent phenomenon. Compared to the refined Na Sch model, the present model has lower instantaneous emissions such as CO_(2), NO_(X) and PM and higher volatile organic components(VOC) emissions. Compared to the limited deceleration capacity model without slow-to-start rules, the present model also has lower instantaneous emissions such as CO_(2), NO_(X) and PM and higher VOC emissions in a wide moving jam region. These results can also be confirmed or explained by the statistical values of vehicle velocity and acceleration.展开更多

Methods:A total of 70 children with neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy treated in our hospital between February 2013 and February 2016 were selected and randomly divided into observation group and control group, control group received clinical routine treatment and observation group accepted monosialoganglioside injection combined with conventional treatment. After 1 week of treatment, serum levels of apoptosis factors, nerve function indexes, oxidation/anti-oxidation indexes and disease severity indexes of two groups of patients were detected.Results:Serum PDCD5, sFas, sFasL, NSE, S100-β, MDA, NO, NOS, H-FABP, NPY, caspase-1 and ET-1 levels of observation group were lower than those of control group while BDNF, NGF, SOD, GSH-PX, IGF-1 and GH levels were higher than those of control group.Conclusion: Monosialoganglioside injection can enhance the overall treatment effect and promote the realization of homeostasis in children with HIE.展开更多
