This study investigates the mechanical properties and failure modes of porous rock masses under cyclic loading, elucidates the acoustic emission (AE) characteristics and their spatial evolution, and establishes the interrelation among AE, stress, strain, time, and cumulative damage. The results reveal that the rock mass with holes and the intact rock mass show softening and hardening characteristics after cyclic loading. The plastic strain of the rock mass with holes is smaller than that of the intact rock mass, and the stress −strain curve shows hysteresis characteristics. Under uniaxial compression, the pore-bearing rock mass shows the characteristics of higher ringing count, AE energy, b-value peak, and more cumulative ringing count in the failure stage, while it shows lower characteristics under cyclic action. At the initial stage of loading, compared with the intact rock mass, the pore-containing rock mass shows the characteristics of a low b-value. The AE positioning and cumulative damage percentage are larger, and the AE positioning is denser around the hole. The specimen with holes is mainly shear failure, and the complete specimen is mainly tensile shear failure.展开更多

The mechanism of slabbing failure is still unclear. In order to reveal the influence of the intermediate principal stress (σ2) on slabbing failure, true triaxial unloading compressive test was carried out based on the stress path of the underground engineering excavation, i.e., unloading the minimum principal stress (σ3), keeping σ2, increasing the maximum principal stress (σ1). The initiation and the propagation of slabbing fracture in rock specimens were identified by examining the acoustic emission (AE) and the infrared radiation characterization. The test results show that the failure modes of the granite and red sandstone specimens are changed from shear to slabbing with the increase of σ2. The AE characteristic of rock specimen under low σ2 is swarm type which is the main shock type under high σ2. The infrared radiation properties of rock specimen under different σ2 are also different. The temperature change area is just along the shear fracture such as the uniaxial compression. With the increase of σ2, the temperature change area is planar of rock specimen which proofs that the failure mode of rock specimen turns into slabbing.展开更多

In our previous study, we found that the deposition of immune complex on vascular wall and vascular injury were related to the HCC rupture. In this study, the structure of elastin around the small artery was deeply investigated to confirm our previous study. Methods Immunohistochemical technique and transmission electron microscopy were used to study 23 specimens from ruptured HCC and 30 cases of nonruptured HCC. Results The layer of elastin around the vascular wall was significant thicker in patients with ruptured HCC than that in nonruptured HCC. The proliferation of elastin, abnormal distribution of neutrophil elastase and degradation of collagen fibril were predominantly present in the specimens from ruptured HCC. The phenomenon of electron—dense deposit in the elastic lamina that represented the deposition of immune complex, and the signs of infiltrated neutrophils from bloodstream into the vascular wall that caused the vascular injury, also can be found in ruptured HCC. Since the damaged vessels could become stiff and weak, which would more prone to be splitting and results in hemorrhage and the rupture of HCC, we postulated that the preexisting of immune complex deposition and vascular injury may be relate to the ruptured HCC. Conclusion The vascular injury caused by immune complex deposition might relate to ruptured HCC. Key words hepatocellular carcinoma - rupture - elastin - elastase展开更多

However, the impermeable seed coat restricts water imbibition and results in poor seed germination and subse- quent stand establishment. The aim of this study was to identify the dormancy mechanism of Birdsfoot trefoil seeds, and investigate the suitable pretreatment to overcome the poor seed germination. Germination behavior was characterized by using the final germination percentage and the mean germination time. The results indicated that coat thickness of dormant seeds was significant larger. The average hard seed rate was up to 92.3%. It was found that mechanical scarification, chemi- cal scarification with concentrated sulfuric acid (98% H_2SO_4), and gibberellic acid soaking following freezing below zero temperature were effective in reducing hard- seededness and lead to increases of seed germination.展开更多

Methods The clinical data of 12 patients with ruptured PHCC treated by liver resection in Xiangya Hospital since 1970 were analyzed retrospectively. Results There were 10 males and 2 females with mean age of 42 (ranged 22–65) years in this series. Of the 12 patients, 11 underwent emergent hepatectomy and one 2-stage hepatectomy, including left segmental liver resection in 6 patients, left median lobectomy in 1, left hemihepatectomy in 1, partial right hepatectomy in 2, and tumor resection in 2. There was no operative death in 11 patients with liver function in grade A of Child-Paugh classification, but 1 patient with grade B liver function died of liver failure after operation. The operative mortality was 8.3%. In 11 survived patients, the postoperative median survival time was 16.5 months. The 1?, 3?, 5-year survival rate was 72.7%, 18.2%, 9.1% respectively; among them one patient has been alive free of the tumor for 25 years and 9 months. Conclusion Liver resection is the best treatment for ruptured PHCC when possible, which can result in long survival time.

Key technologies including high bench blasting, inclined hole, millisecond blasting, pre-splitting blasting and casting blast parameters determination which have influence on the effect of casting blast have been researched with the combination of the ballistic theory and experience in mines. The integrated digital processing system of casting blast was developed in order to simplify the design process of casting blast, improve working efficiency and veracity of design result and comprehensively adopt the software programming method and the theory of casting blast. This system has achieved five functions, namely, the 3D visualization graphics management, the intelligent management of geological information, the intelligent design of casting blast, the analysis and prediction of the blasting effect and the automatic output of the design results. Long-term application in opencast coal mines has shown that research results can not only reduce the specific explosive consumption and improve the blasting effect, but also have high value of popularization and application.展开更多

It is located mostly in the liver. Spontaneous rupture of the hydatid cyst into the peritoneum is a rare condition, which is accompanied by serious morbidity and mortality generally. We present herein a case with a spontaneous rupture of a hepatic hidatid disease into the peritoneum without any serious symptoms. A 15-year- old boy was admitted to the emergency room with a mild abdominal pain lasting for a day. Physical examination revealed only mild abdominal tenderness. There was no history of trauma or complaints related to hydatid diseases. Ultrasonography showed a large amount of free fluid and a cystic lesion with irregular borders in the liver. He was operated on. Postoperative albendazol therapy was given for 2 mo. No recurrence or secondary hydatidosis was seen on CT investigation in the 3^th, 6^th and 12^th mo following surgery.展开更多

The one-stage therapeutic approach to manage ruptured HCC consisted of initial management by conservative method, transarterial embolization (TAE) or surgical hepatectomy. Results of various treatments were evaluated and compared in the randomly selected 202 patients with no history of rupture during the same study period. Results: A total of 200 patients with spontaneous rupture of HCC were studied who underwent surgical treatment (n=105), TAE 33 and conservative treatment (ConT 62). A multivariate analysis using the Cox hazard regression model (including all the patients n=200) identified surgical hepatectomy as the only independent factor determining a relatively long survival period (P〈0.0001) On the other hand, in a further analysis of the patients in whom surgical hepatectomy was successfully performed (n=105), which identified a maximum tumor size exceeding 6 cm as significant determinants of a poor 12-month (P=0.036), and a multivariate analysis did not identify as any inverse independent factor determining relatively long-term survival, only a maximum tumor size exceeding 6 cm exhibited a tendency toward being a determinant factor (P=0.083). Conelusionz Considering the high propensity to spontaneous rupture, as long as preoperatively clinical evaluation meet surgery requirements, elective one-stage hepatectomy for patients with ruptured HCC is the first treatment option. Prolonged survival could be achieved in selected patients with hepatic resection, although the survival results were inferior to those of the patients who did not have the complication of rupture展开更多

Detonation wave is initiated by a plasma cartridge at one end of a detonation tube. Coal particles are subjected to a shock whose temperature depends on the Mach number of the detonation wave. Temperature shock is found to generate thermal stresses which may fragment the coal particles. A non-dimensional mathematical model for the heat transfer process in the coal particle is proposed. Thermal stresses are calculated at various times and radii while maximum strain energy theory is used to understand the failure behavior viz., the time, temperature and location of fracture. A physical model for coal particle fragmentation when subjected to detonation wave is also proposed. The study suggests that detonation combustion of coal is qualitatively different from conventional method.展开更多

文摘To investigate decay law of acoustic emission and microseismic activities caused by disturbances associated with multilevel loading and mining blast,a new exponential decay(ED)law was proposed.The results show that the micro-fracture activity decay law after multistage stress loading and blasting disturbance conforms to the ED model,in which the sum of A and n represents the number of initial micro-fracture events,and n represents the level of background micro-fracture events.The ED model can describe the number of initial micro-fracture events with a deviation less than 10%.The ED model outperforms the traditional aftershock models in describing the micro-fracture event decay law in the three cases considered.The ED model can provide a reference for selecting the blasting interval in mines,which is of great significance to maintain the stability of the surrounding rock and ensure safe production in metal mines.
文摘Rectovaginal fistula(RVF) continues to be the most difficult perianal manifestation of Crohn's disease to treat.This devastating and disabling complication has a significant impact on patients' quality of life and presents unique management challenges.Current therapeutic approaches include many medical therapeutics and surgical treatments with a wide range of success rates reported.However,current evidence is lacking to support any recommendation.The choice of repair depends on various patient and disease factors and basic surgical tenets.In this article,we review the current options to consider in the treatment of Crohn's-related RVF,and try to evaluate their effects on fistulae closure and quality of life.
文摘Objective- To determine the prognostic factors of ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and report the management of patients with spontaneous rupture of HCC in a single center during a 5-year period and to evaluate one-stage hepatectomy Methods- A series of 4,209 patients with HCC were collected at Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital from April 2002 to November 2006, of whom 200 patients (4.8%) with ruptured HCC were studied retrospectively regarding their clinical characteristics and prognostic factors. The one-stage therapeutic approach to manage ruptured HCC consisted of initial management by conservative method, transarterial embolization (TAE) or surgical hepatectomy. Results of various treatments were evaluated and compared in the randomly selected 202 patients with no history of rupture during the same study period. Results: A total of 200 patients with spontaneous rupture of HCC were studied who underwent surgical treatment (n=105), TAE 33 and conservative treatment (ConT 62). A multivariate analysis using the Cox hazard regression model (including all the patients n=200) identified surgical hepatectomy as the only independent factor determining a relatively long survival period (P〈0.0001) On the other hand, in a further analysis of the patients in whom surgical hepatectomy was successfully performed (n=105), which identified a maximum tumor size exceeding 6 cm as significant determinants of a poor 12-month (P=0.036), and a multivariate analysis did not identify as any inverse independent factor determining relatively long-term survival, only a maximum tumor size exceeding 6 cm exhibited a tendency toward being a determinant factor (P=0.083). Conelusionz Considering the high propensity to spontaneous rupture, as long as preoperatively clinical evaluation meet surgery requirements, elective one-stage hepatectomy for patients with ruptured HCC is the first treatment option. Prolonged survival could be achieved in selected patients with hepatic resection, although the survival results were inferior to those of the patients who did not have the complication of rupture
文摘Fragmentation behaviour of coal particles subjected to detonation wave is being studied. Detonation wave is initiated by a plasma cartridge at one end of a detonation tube. Coal particles are subjected to a shock whose temperature depends on the Mach number of the detonation wave. Temperature shock is found to generate thermal stresses which may fragment the coal particles. A non-dimensional mathematical model for the heat transfer process in the coal particle is proposed. Thermal stresses are calculated at various times and radii while maximum strain energy theory is used to understand the failure behavior viz., the time, temperature and location of fracture. A physical model for coal particle fragmentation when subjected to detonation wave is also proposed. The study suggests that detonation combustion of coal is qualitatively different from conventional method.
