采用激光熔覆Al-Si粉体以提高Mg-6Zn-1Ca合金的表面性能,并采用X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)和能谱(EDS)技术研究熔覆层的相组成、组织结构和化学成分。结果表明,熔覆层主要由α-Mg、Mg_2Si枝晶、Mg_(17)Al_(12)和Al_3Mg_2相组成。由于生成了Mg_2Si、Mg_(17)Al_(12)和Al_3Mg_2金属间化合物以及快速熔凝的晶粒细化作用,熔覆层的显微硬度(HV_(0.025) 310)比基体硬度(HV_(0.025) 54)高近5倍。同时,在3.5%NaCl(质量分数)水溶液中的腐蚀性能测试显示,腐蚀电位从基体的-1574.6 mV上升到了熔覆后的-128.7 mV,而腐蚀电流密度则从基体的170.1μA/cm^2降至熔覆后的6.7μA/cm^2。这些研究结果显示,激光熔覆Al-Si粉体可以显著提高Mg-6Zn-1Ca合金表层的硬度和耐蚀性。

Existence and release of fluid inclusions in bornite and its associated quartz and calcite

The existence and release of fluid inclusions in bornite and its associated minerals, namely, quartz and calcite were investigated and confirmed. The structures, forms, and phases of these large quantities of fluid inclusions were also studied. A mass of fluid inclusions with various sizes, distributions, shapes, and phases exist in bornite and its associated minerals. Their sizes vary from a few micrometers to tens of micrometers, and the forms appear as negative crystals, or elongated, elliptical, and irregular. At room temperature, fluid inclusions were mainly characterized as gas-liquid two- phase. However, small amounts of fluid inclusions with pure gas phase and pure liquid single-phase were also observed in quartz and calcite. These fluid inclusions initially broke during the ore crushing and grinding process and then released into the flotation pulp in the flotation process. The quantitative analysis of fluid inclusions in the solution and the comparisons of mineral dissolution show that the amount of copper and iron released by fluid inclusions in the bornite sample is higher than the amount dissolved by the mineral; fluid inclusions in the associated gangue minerals, quartz, and calcite also make contribution.

An Active Stereo Vision System Based on Neural Pathways of Human Binocular Motor System

An active stereo vision system based on a model of neural pathways of human binocular motor system is proposed. With this model, it is guaranteed that the two cameras of the active stereo vision system can keep their lines of sight fixed on the same target object during smooth pursuit. This feature is very important for active stereo vision systems, since not only 3D reconstruction needs the two cameras have an overlapping field of vision, but also it can facilitate the 3D reconstruction algorithm. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, some software simulations are done to demonstrate the same target tracking characteristic in a virtual environment apt to mistracking easily. Here, mistracking means two eyes track two different objects separately. Then the proposed method is implemented in our active stereo vision system to perform real tracking task in a laboratory scene where several persons walk self-determining. Before the proposed model is implemented in the system, mistracking occurred frequently. After it is enabled, mistracking never occurred. The result shows that the vision system based on neural pathways of human binocular motor system can reliably avoid mistracking.

Assessment of right ventricular strain in children with repaired tetralogy of Fallot using speckle tracking imaging

To the Editor: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) was first surgically repaired in 1955. Initial TOF repairs were performed using a trans-annular right ventricular outflow tract patch to relieve the obstruction. However, this procedure resulted in long-standing pulmonary valve regurgitation and increased right ventricular (RV) volume, causing arrhythmias and sudden death.[1] Thus, pulmonary annulus preservation became the most prevalent surgical strategy for TOF repair, possibly causing a mix of pulmonary stenosis and pulmonary valve regurgitation. Currently, clinicians concerned with RV function decrease during the long-term follow-up use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) to predict the appropriate timing of interventions for valve sparing. Although CMR techniques have evolved as the reference standard for assessing RV volumes and function during the last two decades, routinely monitoring the progression of repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) RV dysfunction remains difficult.

Detection of Subclinical Anthracyclines＇ Cardiotoxicity in Children with Solid Tumor

Background： Cardiotoxicity is one of the most serious chronic complications ofanthracyclines therapy. Assessment of the left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） fails to detect subtle cardiac dysfunction of left ventricular （LV）. This study aimed to detect and evaluate new parameters of subclinical anthracyclines＇ cardiotoxicity in children with solid tumor. Methods： A detailed echocardiographic examination was performed in 36 children with hepatoblastoma or rhabdomyosarcoma after receiving anthracyclines＇ chemotherapy and 36 healthy controls from January 2015 to December 2016. The LVEF, ratio of early diastolic peak velocity of transmitral flow （E） and septal diastolic e＇ mitral annular peak velocity （e＇）, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion （TAPSE）, and LV global longitudinal strain （GLS） were evaluated using M-mode, tissue Doppler imaging （TDI）, and two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography （2D-STE）, respectively. Echocardiographic parameters were compared between patient group and healthy controls. All patients were divided into two subgroups based on their anthracyclines＇ cumulative dosage （〈300 mg/m^2 subgroup and ≥300 mg/m^2 subgroup）. Results： All patients had no presentation of heart failure and LVEF within normal range （65.7 ± 5.1%）. Compared with healthy controls, the mean E/e＇ increased significantly （7.9 ±0.7 vs. 10.2 ± 3.5, t = 3.72, P 〈 0.01 ）, mean TAPSE decreased significantly （ 17.2 ± 1.3 mm vs. 14.2 ± 3.0 mm, t = -4.03, P 〈 0.01）, and mean LV GLS decreased significantly （-22.2% ± 1.9% vs. -17.9% ± 2.9%, t = -5.58, P 〈 0.01） in patient group. Compared with subgroup with anthracyclines＇ cumulative dosage 〈 300 mg/m^2, mean LV GLS decreased significantly （- 18.7 ＋ 2.7% vs. - 16.5 ~ 2. 1%, t = 2.15, P = 0.04）, the mean E/e＇ increased significantly （9.1 ±1.5 vs. 11.5 ± 4.9, t = -2.17, P = 0.04）, and mean TAPSE decreased significantly （14.2±2.1 mm vs. 12.5±2.2 mm, t = -2.82, P = 0.02） in subgroup with anthracyclines＇ cumulative dosage 〉300 mg/m^2. Conclusions： LV GLS is helpful in the early detection of subclinical LV dysfunction using 2D-STE. E/e＇ and TAPSE are other sensitive parameters in detecting subclinical cardiac dysfunction of both ventricles by TD1. These parameters show significant change with different anthracyclines＇ cumulative dosage, so cumulative dosage should be controlled in clinical treatment.

Role of Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone Stimulation Test in Diagnosing Gonadotropin Deficiency in Both Males and Females with Delayed Puberty

Background： Delayed puberty can result either from constitutional delay of growth and puberty （CDP） or idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism （IHH）. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone （GnRH） stimulation test has been generally accepted as a current method for diagnosing delayed puberty. The objective of this research was to assess the cut-offvalues and the efficacy of GnRH stimulation test in the diagnosis of delayed puberty in both males and females. Methods： A study of 91 IHH, 27 CDP patients, 6 prepubertal children, and 20 pubertal adults was undertaken. Blood samples were obtained at 0, 30, 60, and 120 rain after GnRH administration and the levels of luteinizing hormone （LH） and follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH） were rneast, red. For each paralneter, the sensitivities and specificities were estimated, and the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curves were constructed. Resulis： The ROC curves indicated that a serunl basal LH 〈0.6 IU/L or peak LH 〈9.74 IU/L resulted in moderate sensitivity （73.8% or 80.0%） and specificity （90.9% or 86.4%） in the diagnosis of HH in males. Serum basal LH 〈0.85 IU/L or basal FSH 〈2.43 IU/L resulted in moderate sensitivity （80.0% or 100.0%） and specificity （75.0% or 50.0%） in the diagnosis of HH in females. Conclusions： Our data suggest that isolated use of the gonadorelin stimulation test is almost sufficient to discriminate between HH and CDP in males, but unnecessary in females. The most useful predictor is serum basal or peak LH to differentiate these two disorders in males, but serum basal LH or FSH in females.

Microarray-based identification of tomato microRNAs and time course analysis of their response to Cucumber mosaic virus infection

A large number of plant microRNAs (miRNAs) are now documented in the miRBase, among which only 30 are for Solanum lycopersicum (tomato). Clearly, there is a far-reaching need to identify and profile the expression of miRNAs in this important crop under various physiological and pathological conditions. In this study, we used an in situ synthesized custom microarray of plant miRNAs to examine the expression and temporal presence of miRNAs in the leaves of tomato plants infected with Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). Following computational sequence homology search and hairpin structure prediction, we identified three novel tomato miRNA precursor genes. Our results also show that, in accordance with the phenotype of the developing leaves, the tomato miRNAs are differentially expressed at different stages of plant development and that CMV infection can induce or suppress the expression of miRNAs as well as up-regulate some star miRNAs (miRNA*s) which are normally present at much lower levels. The results indicate that developmental anomalies elicited by virus infection may be caused by more complex biological processes.

Triphenyl Phosphine Oxide and Carbazole-based Polymer Host Materials for Green Phosphorescent Organic Light-emitting Diodes

Four novel polymers, poly（3,6-9-decyl-carbazole-alt-1,3-benzene） （PB13CZ）, poly（3,6-9-decyl-carbazole-alt- bis（4-phenyl） （phenyl） phosphine oxide） （PTPPO38CZ）, poly（3,6-9-decyl-carbazole-alt-2,4-phenyl（diphenyl） phosphine oxide） （PTPPO13CZ） and poly（3,6-9-decyl-carbazole-alt-bis（3-phenyl） （phenyl） phosphine oxide） （PTTPO27CZ） were synthesized, and their thermal, photophysical properties and device applications were further investigated to correlate the chemical structures with the photoelectric performance of bipolar host materials for phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes. All of them show high thermal stability as revealed by their high glass transition temperatures and thermal decomposition temperatures at 5% weight loss. These polymers have wide band gaps and relatively high triplet energy levels. As a result, the spin coating method was used to prepare the green phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes with polymers PTPPO38CZ, PTPPO13CZ and PTTPO27CZ as the typical host materials. The green device of polymer PTPPO38CZ as host material shows electroluminescent performance with maximum current efficiency of 2.16 cd.A-1, maximum external quantum efficiency of 0.7%, maximum brightness of 1475 cd.m-2 and reduced efficiency roll-off of 7.14% at 600 cd.m-2, which are much better than those of the same devices hosted by polymers PTTPO27CZ and PTPPO13CZ.

An Infant with Abernethy Malformation Associated with Heterotaxy and Pulmonary Hypertension

Abernethy malformation （AM） is a rare congenital anomaly in which the splanchnic blood bypasses the liver and drains directly into the systemic veins.It was first described by Abemethy in 1793 and has two types.Type Ⅰ is characterized by a complete portosystemic shunt and an absence of a portal vein （consists of superior mesenteric and splenic veins）,while Type Ⅱ exhibits partial portosystemic shunt and a hypoplastic portal vein.Type Ⅰ is further subclassified into subtype a and b based on the absence or presence of a patent connection between the superior mesenteric vein and the splenic vein.
