It was improved that the application of electromagnetic pulses evidently causes a lethal effect on E. coli cells suspended in phosphate buffer solution Na 2HPO 4/NaH 2PO 4(0 334/0 867 mmol/L). Experimental results indicated that the survivability(N/N 0; where N 0 and N are the number of cells survived per mill il iter before and after electromagnetic pulses application, respectively) of E. coli decreased with magnetic field intensity B and treatment time t. It was also found that the medium temperatures, the frequencies of pulse f, and the initial bacterial cell concentrations have determinate influences in destruction of E. coli cells by the application of magnetic pulses. The application of an magnetic intensity B=160 mT at pulses frequency f=62 kHz and treatment time t=16 h result in a considerable destruction levels of E. coli cells (N/N 0=10 -4 ). Possible mechanisms involved in sterilization of the magnetic field treatment were discussed. In order to shorten the treatment time, many groups of parallel inductive coil were used. The practicability test showed that the treatment time was shortened to 4 h with the application of three groups of parallel coil when the survivability of E.coli cells was less than 0 01%; and the power consumption was about 0 2 kWh /m 3.展开更多

It was found from the experiments that ZnO nanoparticles underwent a “self-assembly process” under some specific hydrothermal hot-press conditions. As a result, some “nanoflowers” formed. The results showed that porous nanosolids with uniform pore diameters could be obtained when water distributed uniformly among the ZnO nanopar- ticles. On the contrary, if the uniformity of the distribution of water was poor, “nanoflowers” would appear in the wa- ter-rich region. It was also found that the photoluminescence of ZnO porous nanosolids was affected by the self-assembly phenomenon. In addition, the results also showed that, both the volume and diameters of the pores could be adjusted by changing either the hot-press temperature, pressure or the kinds of solvents.展开更多

Recently, it was revealed that ectopicimpulses originating in sleeve muscles around the orifices of pulmonary veins (PVs) were deemed tobe one of the most important reasons that trigger or drive atrial arrhythmia, which was calledmyocardial sleeve related arrhythmia. Electrical isolation by radiofrequency ablation is becominghighlight and proved to be an effective method for the arrhythmia. We report a 55-year-old man withparoxysmal atrial tachy-arrhythmias admitted for PV electrical isolation. An abscess was discoveredin right inferior lung before the operation. The arrhythmia was disappeared after resection of theabscess. It implies that for such sufferer and recidivist after ablation, the factors outside thepulmonary veins should be excluded or treated as far as possible, especially before radiofrequencyablation therapy.展开更多
