Industrial test of a 6-m long bearing steel ingot by electroslag remelting withdrawing process

In this study, the key technologies of a 6-m long bearing steel ingot produced by electroslag remelting withdrawing(ESRW) process, including bifilar mode supply, slag system development, and design of mold, were studied based on the laboratory research achievements. The 6-m long ingot of bearing steel GGr15 with a cross-section of 300 mm × 340 mm was produced using the ESRW process with a bifilar mode and a multi-taper T-mold in a plant. The testing results show that the melting rate using the ESRW bifilar mode technology is three times faster than traditional electroslag remelting(ESR), and the power consumption is only 1,320 k Wh per ton steel. Through testing for the chemical composition, macrostructure and inclusions of remelted ingot, it can be concluded that the ESRW bifilar mode technology not only retains the characteristics of traditional ESR, but also improves the production efficiency and reduces the cost compared to traditional ESR.

Changes in neurosteroid levels and steroidogenic enzyme expression in the brain of morphine dependent and withdrawing rats

BACKGROUND： Studies have demonstrated that exogenous neurosteroid treatment prevents the development of morphine tolerance and dependence, and attenuates abstinence behavior in mice. However, there are few studies on whether the levels of endogenous neurosteroids can be changed by morphine dependence and withdrawal. OBJECTIVE： To investigate the levels of various neurosteroids in rat brain following morphine dependence and withdrawal. To evaluate the expressions of steroidogenic enzyme mRNAs and proteins. To identify the relationship between neurosteroids and morphine dependence at the whole animal behavior, neural biochemistry, and molecular levels. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： A randomized, controlled study. Experiments were performed at the Department of Pharmacology of Hebei Medical University and Department of Pharmacology of Beathune International Peace Hospital, China, from June 2004 to October 2007. MATERIALS： Morphine hydrochloride injection （Shenyang First Pharmaceutical Factory, China）, naloxone hydrochloride （Hunan Yiqiao Pharmaceutical Co., China） and a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry system （Agilent, CA, USA） were used in this study. METHODS： Healthy adult Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups： a morphine dependence group, morphine withdrawal group and control group （n = 20）. The rats in the morphine dependence and morphine withdrawal groups were given increasing doses of morphine （5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mg/kg, intraperitoneal） to create morphine dependence. The rats in the morphine withdrawal group were injected with 2 mg/kg naloxone to precipitate withdrawal 1 hour after the last morphine injection. Rats in the control group were treated with an equal volume of saline. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Following morphine dependence and withdrawal, brain levels of the neurosteroids pregnenolone, progesterone and allopregnanolone were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The mRNA expression of two key steroidogenic enzymes, P450 side-chain cleavage enzyme （P450scc） and 3[B-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase （313-HSD）, were determined in rat brain regions using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The distribution and expression of P450scc protein were visualized in brain regions associated with addiction by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS： In brain tissue from the morphine dependence group, the levels of pregnenolone and progesterone were decreased by 62% （P 〈 0.01） and 92% （P 〈 0.01 ） respectively, compared with the control group. In the morphine dependence group, the key steroidogenic enzyme P450scc mRNA was decreased in striatum （P 〈 0.05）, while 3-HSD mRNA was decreased in amygdala （P 〈 0.05）, striatum （P 〈 0.05） and frontal cortex （P 〈 0.05） compared with the control group. Morphine withdrawal induced a significant increase in the neurosteroid levels compared with the control group （P 〈 0.01）. However, there was no significant difference in the expressions of P450scc and 36-HSD mRNAs between the morphine withdrawal and control groups （P 〉 0.05）. CONCLUSION： The neurosteroid levels and expressions of steroidogenic enzymes changed similarly in morphine dependent rats, suggesting that the morphine dependence-induced decrease in neurosteroids might depend on local expression of steroidogenic enzymes in the central nervous system. However, the changes in neurosteroids in morphine withdrawal rats were not in accordance with the changes in the expression of steroidogenic enzymes, suggesting that the effects of morphine withdrawal on brain neurosteroid levels may not depend primarily on the local expression of steroidogenic enzymes in the central nervous system.

Hydrodynamic characteristics and particle tracking of 90° lateral intakes at an inclined river slope

Lateral intakes are common in rivers.The pump effciency and sediment deposition are determined by the local hydrodynamic characteristics and mainstream division width.The hydraulic characteristics of lateral withdrawal from inclined river slopes at different intake elevations should be investigated.Meanwhile,the division width exhibits significant vertical non-uniformity at an inclined river slope,which should be clarified.Hence,a three-dimensional(3-D)hydrodynamic and particle-tracking model was developed with the Open Source Field Operation and Manipulation(Open FOAM),and the model was validated with physical model tests for 90°lateral withdrawal from an inclined side bank.The flow fields,withdrawal sources,and division widths were investigated with different intake bottom elevations,withdrawal discharges,and main channel velocities.This study showed that under inclined side bank conditions,water entered the intake at an oblique angle,causing significant 3-D spiral flows in the intake rather than two-dimensional closed recirculation.A lower withdrawal discharge,a lower bottom elevation of the intake,or a higher main channel velocity could further strengthen this phenomenon.The average division width and turbulent kinetic energy were smaller under inclined side bank conditions than under vertical bank conditions.With a low intake bottom elevation,a low withdrawal discharge,or a high main channel velocity,the sources of lateral withdrawal were in similar ranges near the local inclined bank in the vertical direction.Under inclined slope conditions,sediment deposition near the intake entrance could be reduced,compared to that under vertical slope conditions.The results provide hydrodynamic and sediment references for engineering designs for natural rivers with inclined terrains.

Electroslag Remelting Withdrawing Technology for Offshore Jack-up Platform Rack Steel Manufacturing Process

Offshore jack up platform rack steel must exhibit high strength and toughness as well as excellent welding properties. A high-quality large ingot is a prerequisite for obtaining a high-performance rough part. The electroslag remelting withdrawing （ESRW） technology using a T-shaped mold and bifilar mode was introduced to replace casting technology. Numerical simulation of the ESRW process was performed to determine the distribution of the temperature and velocity fields and to determine the optimum process for producing rack steels. Several A514Q slab ingots with dimensions of 0.32 m×1.40 m × 4.00 m were produced using ESRW technology in an industrial plant. The industrial test indicated that slab ingots produced by the ESRW method exhibited uniform chemical compositions and compact macrostructures. A 115.4 mm thick plate was produced from the rough ingot after 11 roiling passes. Samples were obtained from different positions in the steel plate to test the mechanical performance and examine the microstructure, and the results revealed that the properties of the steel plate satisfied ASTM standards. The ESRW process improved the tensile strength and toughness of the slab ingot, enabling significant improvements in the anisotropy and low temperature toughness, which are critical for the development of rack steel for offshore platforms.

Exit strategies in inflammatory bowel disease:Looking beyond antitumor necrosis factors

The long-term management of patients with inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is still a matter of debate,and no clear guidelines have been issued.In clinical practice,gastroenterologists often have to deal with patients in prolonged remission after immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive therapies.When planning an exit strategy for drug withdrawal,the risk of disease relapse must be balanced against the risk of drug-related adverse events and healthcare costs.Furthermore,there is still a dearth of data on the withdrawal of novel biologics,such as the anti-α4β7 integrin antibody(vedolizumab)and anti-IL12/23 antibody(ustekinumab),as well as the small molecule tofacitinib.Models for estimating the risk of disease relapse and the efficacy of retreatment should be evaluated according to the patient's age and IBD phenotype.These models should guide clinicians in programming a temporary drug withdrawal after discussing realistic outcomes with the patient.This would shift the paradigm from an exit strategy to a holiday strategy.

A case of phenibut withdrawal and treatment with baclofen

Phenibut(β-phenyl-γ-aminobutyric acid)is a psychoactive gamma-aminobutyric acid(GABA)analog marketed online as a nutritional and nootropic(cognition enhancing)supplement.Phenibut consumption poses a high risk of potential abuse.Withdrawal from phenibut mimics benzodiazepine and alcohol withdrawal and can be dangerous.A number of approaches have been described for phenibut withdrawal,including protocols that include baclofen,but for inpatient and outpatient use.Here we describe a 30-year-old male who presented to an emergency department(ED)with insomnia,anxiety and palpitations after he stopped taking phenibut.

Withdrawal Intention of Farmers from Vacant Rural Homesteads and Its Influencing Mechanism in Northeast China: A Case Study of Jilin Province

The effective use of land in Northeast China is of great significance for ensuring national food security and regional rural revitalization.In this study,based on the survey data collected from Jilin Province,Northeast China,we analyzed the vacancy rates of rural homesteads in suburban,outer suburban,and remote villages,as well as the withdrawal intention of rural-settled farmers,urbansettled farmers,and farmers with urban and rural dual residency from vacant homesteads.From the perspective of farmers’perceptions,this study constructed a theoretical framework of the influence mechanism of their withdrawal intention and analyzed such mechanism by constructing a structural equation model.The results indicated that:1)rural homestead vacancy rates increased with distance from the village to the city.2)rural-settled farmers showed a low withdrawal intention for vacant rural homesteads,followed by urban and rural dual-residence farmers,and urban-settled farmers showed the highest withdrawal intention.3)the relative importance of the factors influencing withdrawal intention is in the following order:policy awareness>interest perception>living environment perception>family characteristics.Finally,this study discussed the reformation of the homestead system and rural homestead transition in Northeast China,which can provide policy support to increase the potential of cultivated land and promote sustainable rural development and urban-rural coordination.

Improving polyp detection at colonoscopy: Non-technological techniques

Colonoscopy and polypectomy remain the gold standard investigation for the detection and prevention of colorectal cancer.Halting the progression of colonic adenoma through adequate detection of pre-cancerous lesions interrupts the progression to carcinoma.The adenoma detection rate is a key performance indicator.Increasing adenoma detection rates are associated with reducing rates of interval colorectal cancer.Endoscopists with high baseline adenoma detection rate have a meticulous technique during colonoscopy withdrawal that improves their adenoma detection.This minireview article summarizes the evidence on the following simple operator techniques and their effects on the adenoma detection rate;minimum withdrawal times,dynamic patient position change and proximal colon retroflexion.

Clonidine use during dexmedetomidine weaning:A systematic review

BACKGROUND Dexmedetomidine is a centrally acting alpha-2A adrenergic agonist that is commonly used as a sedative and anxiolytic in the intensive care unit(ICU),with prolonged use increasing risk of withdrawal symptoms upon sudden discontinuation.As clonidine is an enterally available alpha-2A adrenergic agonist,it may be a suitable agent to taper off dexmedetomidine and reduce withdrawal syndromes.The appropriate dosing and conversion strategies for using enteral clonidine in this context are not known.The objective of this systematic review is to summarize the evidence of enteral clonidine application during dexmedetomidine weaning for prevention of withdrawal symptoms.AIM To systematically review the practice,dosing schema,and outcomes of enteral clonidine use during dexmedetomidine weaning in critically ill adults.METHODS This was a systematic review of enteral clonidine used during dexmedetomidine weaning in critically ill adults(≥18 years).Randomized controlled trials,prospective cohorts,and retrospective cohorts evaluating the use of clonidine to wean patients from dexmedetomidine in the critically ill were included.The primary outcomes of interest were dosing and titration schema of enteral clonidine and dexmedetomidine and risk factors for dexmedetomidine withdrawal.Other secondary outcomes included prevalence of adverse events associated with enteral clonidine use,re-initiation of dexmedetomidine,duration of mechanical ventilation,and ICU length of stay.RESULTS A total of 3427 studies were screened for inclusion with three meeting inclusion criteria with a total of 88 patients.All three studies were observational,two being prospective and one retrospective.In all included studies,the choice to start enteral clonidine to wean off dexmedetomidine was made at the discretion of the physician.Weaning time ranged from 13 to 167 h on average.Enteral clonidine was started in the prospective studies in a similar protocolized method,with 0.3 mg every 6 h.After starting clonidine,patients remained on dexmedetomidine for a median of 1-28 h.Following the termination of dexmedetomidine,two trials tapered enteral clonidine by increasing the interval every 24 h from 6 h to 8h,12h,and 24 h,followed by clonidine discontinuation.For indicators of enteral clonidine withdrawal,the previously tolerable dosage was reinstated for several days before resuming the taper on the same protocol.The adverse events associated with enteral clonidine use were higher than patients on dexmedetomidine taper alone with increased agitation.The re-initiation of dexmedetomidine was not documented in any study.Only 17(37%)patients were mechanically ventilated with median duration of 3.5 d for 13 patients in one of the 2 studies.ICU lengths of stay were similar.CONCLUSION Enteral clonidine is a strategy to wean critically ill patients from dexmedetomidine.There is an association of increased withdrawal symptoms and agitation with the use of a clonidine taper.

Artificial intelligence fails to improve colonoscopy quality:A single centre retrospective cohort study

BACKGROUND Limited data currently exists on the clinical utility of Artificial Intelligence Assisted Colonoscopy(AIAC)outside of clinical trials.AIM To evaluate the impact of AIAC on key markers of colonoscopy quality compared to conventional colonoscopy(CC).METHODS This single-centre retrospective observational cohort study included all patients undergoing colonoscopy at a secondary centre in Brisbane,Australia.CC outcomes between October 2021 and October 2022 were compared with AIAC outcomes after the introduction of the Olympus Endo-AID module from October 2022 to January 2023.Endoscopists who conducted over 50 procedures before and after AIAC introduction were included.Procedures for surveillance of inflammatory bowel disease were excluded.Patient demographics,proceduralist specialisation,indication for colonoscopy,and colonoscopy quality metrics were collected.Adenoma detection rate(ADR)and sessile serrated lesion detection rate(SSLDR)were calculated for both AIAC and CC.RESULTS The study included 746 AIAC procedures and 2162 CC procedures performed by seven endoscopists.Baseline patient demographics were similar,with median age of 60 years with a slight female predominance(52.1%).Procedure indications,bowel preparation quality,and caecal intubation rates were comparable between groups.AIAC had a slightly longer withdrawal time compared to CC,but the difference was not statistically significant.The introduction of AIAC did not significantly change ADR(52.1%for AIAC vs 52.6%for CC,P=0.91)or SSLDR(17.4%for AIAC vs 18.1%for CC,P=0.44).CONCLUSION The implementation of AIAC failed to improve key markers of colonoscopy quality,including ADR,SSLDR and withdrawal time.Further research is required to assess the utility and cost-efficiency of AIAC for high performing endoscopists.

Non-fused medium bandgap electron acceptors for efficient organic photovoltaics

The cost-effective organic semiconductors are strongly needed in organic photovoltaics(OPVs). Herein,two medium bandgap(MBG) electron acceptors, TPT4F and TPT4Cl are developed via the new design of multi-noncovalent interaction assisted unfused core, flanked with two electron withdrawing end groups. These fullly non-fused MBG acceptors adapt the planar and rigid conformation in solid, therefore exhibiting the ordered face-on stacking and strong photoluminescence in films. As results, TPT4Cl^(-)based OPVs, upon blending with the PBDB-TF polymer donor, have achieved a power conversion efficiency of 10.16% with a low non-radiative loss of 0.27 e V, representing one of the best fullly non-fused medium bandgap acceptors with desirable cost-efficiency balance.

Thomas Chao’s Journalistic Activities and Influence on Increasing China’s Voice Worldwide

In the 1930s and 1940s,Thomas Chao,an internationally-renowned Chinese journalist,influenced Chinese journalists’way of covering and writing news with his own prominent experience in international news reporting.Based on his long-term news practice,Chao analyzed the differences between Chinese and Western press and explored the way for improvement.He called on the government to set up a national news agency so as to establish itself in the field of international communication,and helped the Central News Agency to take back Reuters’right to publish in China.Chao also actively promoted the exchange and cooperation between Chinese newspapers and news agencies and foreign press in international communication activities,striving to increase China’s voice worldwide.

Recent Progress in Studies of the Variabilities and Mechanisms of the East Asian Monsoon in a Changing Climate

Located in a monsoon domain,East Asia suffers devastating natural hazards induced by anomalous monsoon behaviors.East Asian monsoon(EAM)research has traditionally been a high priority for the Chinese climate community and is particularly challenging in a changing climate where the global mean temperature has been rising.Recent advances in studies of the variabilities and mechanisms of the EAM are reviewed in this paper,focusing on the interannual to interdecadal time scales.Some new results have been achieved in understanding the behaviors of the EAM,such as the evolution of the East Asian summer monsoon(EASM),including both its onset and withdrawal over the South China Sea,the changes in the northern boundary activity of the EASM,or the transitional climate zone in East Asia,and the cycle of the EASM and the East Asian winter monsoon and their linkages.In addition,understanding of the mechanism of the EAM variability has improved in several aspects,including the impacts of different types of ENSO on the EAM,the impacts from the Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean,and the roles of mid-to high-latitude processes.Finally,some scientific issues regarding our understanding of the EAM are proposed for future investigation.

ZD 7288,an HCN channel blocker,attenuates chronic visceral pain in irritable bowel syndrome-like rats

AIM:To investigate the effects of ZD 7288,a hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated(HCN)channel blocker,on rats with chronic visceral pain.METHODS:Rats with visceral hypersensitivity were generated using neonatal colon irritation during postnatal days 8-15 as described previously.Visceral hypersensitivity was evaluated using electromyographic(EMG)responses of abdominal external oblique muscles to 20-80 mmHg colorectal distentions(CRD).Abdominal withdrawal reflex(AWR)scores and pain thresholds were also detected in adult rats.Different doses of ZD7288(25,50,and 100 nmol/L)were intrathecally administered in rats to study the role of spinal HCN channel in chronic visceral hypersensitivity.RESULTS:EMG responses to 20-80 mmHg CRD and AWR scores under 20-60 mmHg CRD significantly increased in rats with visceral hypersensitivity compared to control rats(P<0.05).The pain threshold in rats with visceral hypersensitivity significantly decreased compared to control rats(P<0.05).Treatment with50-100 nmol/L ZD 7288 significantly inhibited EMG responses(16%-62%,80-20 mmHg CRD,P<0.05)and AWR scores(24%-37%,40-20 mmHg CRD,P<0.05;12%-61%,80-20 mmHg CRD,P<0.05,respectively),and significantly increased pain thresholds(32%-77%,P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Spinal HCN channels may play an important role in chronic visceral hypersensitivity.

Androgenic regulation of novel genes in the epididymis

The epididymis is critically dependent on the presence of the testis. Although several hormones, such as retinoids and progestins, and factors secreted directly into the epididymal lumen, such as androgen binding protein and fibroblast growth factor, might play regulatory roles in epididymal function, testosterone （T） and its metabolites, dihydrotestosterone （DHT） and estradiol （E2）, are accepted as the primary regulators of epididymal structure and functions, with the former playing the greater role. To ascertain the molecular action of androgens on the epididymis, three complementary approaches were pursued to monitor changes in gene expression in response to different hormonal milieux. The first was to establish changes in gene expression along the epididymis as androgenic support is withdrawn. The second was to determine the sequence of responses that occur in an androgen deprived tissue upon re-administration of the two metabolites of T, DHT and E2. The third was to study the effects of androgen withdrawal and re-administration on gene expression in immortalized murine caput epididymidal principal cells. Specific responses were observed under each of these conditions, with an expected major difference in the panoply of genes expressed upon hormone withdrawal and re-administration; however, some key common features were the common roles of genes in insulin like growth factor/epidermal growth factor and the relatively minor and specific effects of E2 as compared to DHT. Together, these results provide novel insights into the mechanisms of androgen regulation in epididymal principal cells. （Asian J Androl 2007 July; 9： 545-553）

Quality indicators for colonoscopy: Current insights and caveats

Colonoscopy is the diagnostic modality of choice for investigation of symptoms suspected to be related to the colon and for the detection of polyps and colorectal cancer(CRC). Colonoscopy with removal of detected polyps has been shown to reduce the incidence and mortality of subsequent CRC. In many countries, population screening programs for CRC have been initiated, either by selection of patients for colonoscopy with fecal occult blood testing or by offering colonoscopy directly to average-risk individuals. Several endoscopy societies have formulated quality indicators for colonoscopy. These quality indicators are almost always incorporated as process indicators, rather than outcome measures. This review focuses on the quality indicators bowel preparation, cecal intubation rate, withdrawal time, adenoma detection rate, patient comfort, sedation and complication rate, and discusses the scientific evidence supporting them,as well as their potential shortcomings and issues that need to be addressed. For instance, there is still no clear and generally accepted definition of adequatebowel preparation, no robust scientific evidence is available supporting a cecal intubation rate ≥ 90% and the association between withdrawal time and occurrence of interval cancers has not been clarified. Adenoma detection rate is currently the only quality indicator that has been shown to be associated with interval colorectal cancer, but as an indicator it does not differentiate between subjects with one or more adenoma detected.

The withdrawal of the U.S. from the Paris Agreement and its impact on global climate change governance

The global community has prepared for the withdrawal of the U.S. from the Paris Agreement since Donald Trump was elected as the president of the U.S. However, Trump's formal declaration of withdrawal still caused worldwide reaction. Trump will use the withdrawal to build his political reputation and to renegotiate the Paris Agreement despite its negative effects on the political credibility, international relationships, and potential long-term economic growth of the U.S. In general, the withdrawal of the U.S. from the Paris Agreement will not change the development of low-carbon technologies and the transformation trend of the global climate governance regime. However, the long-term goals and international cooperation on climate change will be affected by budget cuts in American climate change research and the cancelation of donations from the multilateral environmental fund of the U.S. If the Paris Agreement is renegotiated, the common but differentiated principle of responsibility of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change will be challenged again. Nevertheless, climate change governance remains a main theme of future sustainable development. Instead of national governments, local governments and non-governmental organizations will develop strategies for technical innovation and emphasize pragmatic cooperation, thus expanding their roles in climate change governance. The capacity building on climate change research and public awareness should be enhanced as a long-term objective of global climate change governance.
