Humanin(HN) is a secretory peptide that inhibits the neurotoxicity of Aβ. However, the mechanism(s) by which HN exerts its neuroprotection against Aβ-induced ADlike pathological changes and memory deficits are yet to be completely defined. In the present study,we provided evidence that treatment of rats with HN increases the number of dendritic branches and the density of dendritic spines, and upregulates pre- and post-synaptic protein levels; these effects lead to enhanced long-term potentiation and amelioration of the memory deficits induced by Aβ1-42. HN also attenuated Aβ1-42-induced tau hyperphosphorylation,apparently by inhibiting the phosphorylation of Tyr307 on the inhibitory protein phosphatase-2A(PP2A)catalytic subunit and thereby activating PP2 A. HN also inhibited apoptosis and reduced the oxidativestress induced by Aβ1-42. These findings provide novel mechanisms of action for the ability of HN to protect against Aβ1-42-induced AD-like pathological changes and memory deficits.展开更多

Based on analysis of the operation process and turnover time of steel ladles, relationship models for the turnover number, turnover rate, continuous casting number, number of ladles with additional turnover, and number of ladles without additional turnover were built. The turnover rules of steel ladles for one basic oxygen furnace (BOF) matching one continuous caster (CC) and two BOFs matching two CCs modes were simulated by using a Gantt chart. The models of steel ladle exchange were proposed for casting of a single CC and overlapping casting of two CCs. By analyzing the influencing factors, the following conclusions were drawn. The exchange ladle should not have the task of transporting liquid ste^l in the CC that stops casting earli- er. The end time of the empty ladle in the CC that stops casting earlier should be earlier than the start time of the full ladle in the CC that stops casting later. After evaluating the factors influencing the start casting time, turnover cycle, casting time, continuous casting number, and overlapping time, a prioritization scheme of steel ladle exchange was proposed based on the steel grade. First, the turn- over cycle and single heat casting time were determined; based on these, a reasonable ladle turnover number was calculated. Second, the turnover number and continuous casting number were optimized for maximizing the number of ladles without additional turnover. Lastly, to reduce the casting number during the overlapping time to be lower than the turnover number, the overlapping time was shortened.展开更多
