Study on "fracturing-sealing" integration technology based on high-energy gas fracturing in single seam with high gas and low air permeability

To improve the gas extraction efficiency of single seam with high gas and low air permeability,we developed the"fracturing-sealing"integration technology,and carried out the engineering experiment in the3305 Tunliu mine.In the experiment,coal seams can achieve the aim of antireflection effect through the following process:First,project main cracks with the high energy pulse jet.Second,break the coal body by delaying the propellant blasting.Next,destroy the dense structure of the hard coal body,and form loose slit rings around the holes.Finally,seal the boreholes with the"strong-weak-strong"pressurized sealing technology.The results are as follows:The average concentration of gas extraction increases from8.3%to 39.5%.The average discharge of gas extraction increases from 0.02 to 0.10 m^3/min.The tunneling speeds up from 49.5 to 130 m/month.And the permeability of coal seams improves nearly tenfold.Under the same conditions,the technology is much more efficient in depressurization and antireflection than common methods.In other words,it will provide a more effective way for the gas extraction of single seam with high gas and low air permeability.

Technology and application of pressure relief and permeability increase by jointly drilling and slotting coal

Difficulties with soft coal seams having a high gas content and high stress levels can be addressed by a technology of pressure relief and permeability increase.Slotting the seam by auxiliary drilling with a water jet that breaks the coal and slots the coal seam during the process of retreat drilling achieves pressure relief and permeability increase.Improved efficiency of gas extraction from a field test,high gas coal seam was observed.Investigating the theory of pressure relief and permeability increase required analyzing the characteristics of the double power slotting process and the effects of coal pressure relief and permeability increase.The influence of confining pressure on coal physical properties was examined by using FLAC3D software code to simulate changes of coal stress within the tool destruction area.The double power joint drilling method was modeled.Field experiments were performed and the effects are analyzed.This research shows that there is an ''islanding effect'' in front of the joint double power drill and slotting equipment.The failure strength of the coal seam is substantially reduced within the tool destruction area.Drilling depths are increased by 72% and the diameter of the borehole is increased by 30%.The amount of powdered coal extracted from the drill head increases by 17 times when using the new method.A 30 day total flow measurement from the double power drilled and slotted bores showed that gas extraction increased by 1.3 times compared to the standard drilled bores.Gas concentrations increased from 30% to 60% and were more stable so the overall extraction efficiency increased by a factor of two times.

TNF-a induce the F-actin arrangement and permeability increase in endothelial cells by RhoA-ERK1/2 pathway

Background This study aimed to determine the effects of tumor necrosis factor(TNF-a) on endothelial cytoskeleton morphology and permeability,and to detect the underlying signaling mechanisms involved in these responses. Methods Cultured endothelial cells(ECs) were exposed to TNF-a,and EC cytoskeletal changes were evaluated by observing fluorescence of F-actin following ligation with labeled antibodies.Endothelial permeability was detected by measuring the flux of HRP-albumin across the EC monolayers.To explore the signaling pathways behind TNF-a-induced EC alteration, ECs were treated with either the RhoGTPase inhibitor Y27632 or the MAPK inhibitors PD98059 and SB203580 before TNF-a administration.To further elucidate possible involvement of the RhoA and ERK pathways in TNF-induced EC changes,retrovirus-carried recombinant dominant-negative forms and constitutive-activative forms of RhoA,namely T19NRhoA and Q63LRhoA,were pre-infect-ed into ECs prior to TNF-a exposure.Results TNF-a induced F-actin cytoskeleton rearrangement,as well as EC hyperpermeability in a dose and time-dependent manner.The effects were attenuated in cells pretreated with Y27632 or PD98059,respectively.EC pre-infection with T19NRhoA also alleviated the effects of TNF-a.Furthermore,retrovirus-mediated administration of activated forms of Q63LRhoA alone induced rearrangement of F-actin and hyperpermeability as well as induced the activation of pERK.Conclusions These results indicate that RhoA-ERK/MAPK signal pathway play important roles in the mediation of TNF-a induced EC barrier dysfunction associated with morphological changes of the Factin.

BPI_(700)-Fc∴1_(700) chimeric gene expression and its protective effect in a mice model of the lethal E. coli infection

Background Infections caused by gram-negative bacteria （GNB） often lead to high mortality in common clinical settings. The effect of traditional antibiotic therapy is hindered by drug-resistant bacteria and unneutralizable endotoxin. Few effective methods can protect high risk patients from bacterial infection. This study explored the protection of adeno-associated virus 2 （AAV2）-bacteriacidal permeability increasing protein 700 （BPI700） -fragment crystallizable gamma one 700 （Fcγ1700） chimeric gene transferred mice against the minimal lethal dose （MLD） of E.coli and application of gene therapy for bacterial infection. Methods After AAV2-BPI700-Fcγ1700 virus transfection, dot blotting and Western blotting were used to detect the target gene products in Chinese hamster ovary-K1 cells （CHO-Klcells）. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical assay were carried out to show the target gene expression in mice. Modified BPI-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to identify the target gene products in murine serum. The protection of BPI700-Fcγ1700 gene transferred mice was examined by survival rate after MLD E. coli challenge. Colony forming unit （CFU） count, limulus amebocyte lysate kit and cytokine kit were used to quantify the bacteria, the level of endotoxin, and proinflammatory cytokine. Results BPI1-99-Fcγ1 protein was identified in the CHO-K1 cell culture supernatant, injected muscles and serum of the gene transferred mice. After MLD E. coli challenge, the survival rate of AAV2-BPI700-Fcγ1700 gene transferred mice （36.7%） was significantly higher than that of AAV2-enhanced green fluorescent protein （AAV2- EGFP） gene transferred mice （3.3%） and PBS control mice （5.6%）. The survival rate of AAV2-BPI700-Fcγ1700 gene transferred mice treated with cefuroxime sodium was 65.0%. The bacterium number in main viscera, the levels of endotoxin and proinflammatory cytokine （tumor necrcsis factor-α and interleukin-1β） in serum of the AAV2-BPI700-Fcγ1700 gene transferred mice were markedly lower than that of PBS control mice （P〈0.01）. Conclusions AAV2-BPI700-Fcγ1700 gene transferred mice can resist MLD E. coli infection through expressing BPI1-199-Fcγ1 protein. Our findings suggested that AAV2 mediated BPI700-Fcγ1700 gene delivery could be used for protection and treatment of clinical GNB infection in high-risk individuals.
