METHODS: 617 patients who had received laparoscopic cholecystectomy from September, 2000 to March, 2001 at this hospital were reviewed retrospectively. Ninety-one of these patients were selected randomly for prospective observation. Color Doppler ultrasound was used to examine the cause of venous hemorrhage from the gallbladder bed during laparoscopic cholecystectomy and to examine the anatomic relationship between the gallbladder bed and the branches of the middle hepatic vein in 91 patients preoperatively. RESULTS: A large branch of the middle hepatic vein extended closely behind the gallbladder bed in all 91 patients. The mean distance between the closest point (C point) of this branch to the gallbladder bed was 5.0±4.6 mm. The branch of the middle hepatic vein was completely adherent to the gallbladder bed in 14 (15.38%) of the 91 patients. The distance between this branch and the gallbladder bed was within I mm in 10 (10.99%) of the 91 patients. The inside diameter at C point of this branch was 3.2±1.1 mm. The C point was found on the left side of the longitudinal axis of the gallbladder in 31 (34.66%) of the 91 patients, on the right side in 39 patients (42.86%), just on the axis in 21 patients (23.08%). The venous blood flow rate at the C point was 9.9±3.3 cm/s. CONCLUSIONS: A large branch of the middle hepatic vein passes behind the gallbladder. The inside diameter of this branch is relatively larger. The bleeding of this branch during operation can only be stopped by transfixion. The closest point of this vein to the gallbladder is mostly situated on the right side of the longitudinal axis of the gallbladder. Patients with large branches of the middle hepatic vein close to the gallbladder bed are at risk of hemorrhage during laparoscopic cholecystectomy and should be identified preoperatively with ultrasound.展开更多

In this work, an unexpected high reversible hydrogen capacity over 8.0 wt% has been achieved from MgH2 metal hydride composited with small amounts of LiBH4 and Li3AlH6 complex hydrides, which begins to release hydrogen at 276 ℃ and then completely dehydrogenates at 360 ℃. The dehydrogenated MgH2+LiBH4/Li3AlH6 composite can fully reabsorb hydrogen below 300 ℃ with an excellent cycling stability. The composite exhibits a significant reduction of dehydrogenation activation energy from 279.7 kJ/mol(primitive MgH2) to 139.3 kJ/mol(MgH2+LiBH4/Li3AlH6),as well as a remarkable reduction of dehydrogenation enthalpy change from 75.1 k J/mol H2(primitive MgH2) to 62.8 kJ/mol H2(MgH2+LiBH4/Li3AlH6). The additives of LiBH4 and Li3AlH6 not only enhance the cycling hydrogen capacity, but also simultaneously improve the reversible de/rehydrogenation kinetics, as well as the dehydrogenation thermodynamics. This notable improvement on the hydrogen absorption/desorption behaviors of the MgH2+LiBH4/Li3AlH6 composite could be attributed to the dehydrogenated products including Li3Mg7, Mg17Al12 and MgAlB4, which play a key role on reducing the dehydrogenation activation energy and increasing diffusion rate of hydrogen. Meanwhile, the LiBH4 and Li3AlH6 effectively destabilize MgH2 with a remarkable reduction on dehydrogenation enthalpy change in terms of thermodynamics. In particular, the Li3Mg7, Mg17Al12 and MgAlB4 phases can reversibly transform into MgH2, Li3AlH6 and LiBH4 after rehydrogenation, which contribute to maintain a high cycling capacity.This constructing strategy can further promote the development of high reversible capacity Mg-based materials with suitable de/rehydrogenation properties.展开更多

文摘Magnesium hydride has attracted great attention because of its high theoretical capacity and outstanding reversibility, nevertheless, its practical applications have been restricted by the disadvantages of the sluggish kinetics and high thermodynamic stability. In this work, an unexpected high reversible hydrogen capacity over 8.0 wt% has been achieved from MgH2 metal hydride composited with small amounts of LiBH4 and Li3AlH6 complex hydrides, which begins to release hydrogen at 276 ℃ and then completely dehydrogenates at 360 ℃. The dehydrogenated MgH2+LiBH4/Li3AlH6 composite can fully reabsorb hydrogen below 300 ℃ with an excellent cycling stability. The composite exhibits a significant reduction of dehydrogenation activation energy from 279.7 kJ/mol(primitive MgH2) to 139.3 kJ/mol(MgH2+LiBH4/Li3AlH6),as well as a remarkable reduction of dehydrogenation enthalpy change from 75.1 k J/mol H2(primitive MgH2) to 62.8 kJ/mol H2(MgH2+LiBH4/Li3AlH6). The additives of LiBH4 and Li3AlH6 not only enhance the cycling hydrogen capacity, but also simultaneously improve the reversible de/rehydrogenation kinetics, as well as the dehydrogenation thermodynamics. This notable improvement on the hydrogen absorption/desorption behaviors of the MgH2+LiBH4/Li3AlH6 composite could be attributed to the dehydrogenated products including Li3Mg7, Mg17Al12 and MgAlB4, which play a key role on reducing the dehydrogenation activation energy and increasing diffusion rate of hydrogen. Meanwhile, the LiBH4 and Li3AlH6 effectively destabilize MgH2 with a remarkable reduction on dehydrogenation enthalpy change in terms of thermodynamics. In particular, the Li3Mg7, Mg17Al12 and MgAlB4 phases can reversibly transform into MgH2, Li3AlH6 and LiBH4 after rehydrogenation, which contribute to maintain a high cycling capacity.This constructing strategy can further promote the development of high reversible capacity Mg-based materials with suitable de/rehydrogenation properties.

文摘The problem of efficient gas lift for gas well annulus packers that rely on their own energy plungers is considered.The complex related gas-liquid problem is addressed in the frame of model where the gas inflow dynamics and liquid inflow dynamics of the considered shale gas wells are weakly coupled.On this basis,and with the aiding support of indoor simulation experimental data,a new gas plunger lift design taking into account liquid leakage is obtained.Finally,a dedicated software relying on this approach is developed and used to verify the reliability of the model by means of field examples.

文摘In this paper,we consider Ramanujan’s sums over arbitrary Dedekind domain with finite norm property.We define the Ramanujan’s sumsη(a,A)andη(B,A),where a is an arbitrary element in a Dedekind domain,B is an ideal and A is a non-zero ideal.In particular,we discuss the Kluyver formula and Hèolder formula forη(a,A)andη(B,A).We also prove the reciprocity formula enjoyed byη(B,A)and the orthogonality relations forη(a,A)in the last two parts.

文摘Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder(NMOSD)is an autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system(CNS)accompanied by blood-brain barrier(BBB)disruption.Dysfunction in microglial lipid metabolism is believed to be closely associated with the neuropathology of NMOSD.However,there is limited evidence on the functional relevance of circulating lipids in CNS demyelination,cellular metabolism,and microglial function.Here,we found that serum low-density lipoprotein(LDL)was positively correlated with markers of neurological damage in NMOSD patients.In addition,we demonstrated in a mouse model of NMOSD that LDL penetrates the CNS through the leaky BBB,directly activating microglia.This activation leads to excessive phagocytosis of myelin debris,inhibition of lipid metabolism,and increased glycolysis,ultimately exacerbating myelin damage.We also found that therapeutic interventions aimed at reducing circulating LDL effectively reversed the lipid metabolic dysfunction in microglia and mitigated the demyelinating injury in NMOSD.These findings shed light on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the positive correlation between serum LDL and neurological damage,highlighting the potential therapeutic target for lowering circulating lipids to alleviate the acute demyelinating injury in NMOSD.
