However, it has received less attention in China. The geometric unit cell which can describe the basic structure and the relationship between the braiding angle and geometric parameters of the fabric and fiber volume ratio are given in this paper based on two 3D braiding processes, namely, the four-step and the twostep ones. Several existing mechanical models to predict groperties of the 3D braided comPOsites are discussed and their shortcomings are pointed out herein. Then a new model called the inclined laminal combination model is proposed, which is based on the classical laminated plate theory and can predict the basic mechanical behavior of the two 3D braided composites with four-step or two-step braid. In the model, each yarn in the unit cell is regarded as an inclined laminate and then a 3D analysis is performed. It is found that the predicted mechanical properties of the 3D braided composites by the proposed model are compared well with the experimental data.展开更多

The strain YC is identified as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia) based upon the results of morphologic, physiological and biochemical characteristics and 16S rRNA sequences analysis. The results show that the strain S. maltophilia YC can solubilize TCP and release soluble P in NBRIP growth medium. A positive correlation between concentration of soluble P and population of the isolate and a negative correlation between concentration of soluble P and pH in the culture medium are observed from statistical analysis results. Moreover, gluconic acid is detected in the culture medium by HPLC analysis. It indicates that the isolate can release gluconic acid during the solubilizing experiment, which causes acidification of the culture medium and then TCP solubilization. S. maltophilia YC has a maximal TCP solubilizing capability when using maltose as carbon source and ammonium nitrate as nitrogen source, respectively, in NBRIP growth medium.展开更多

The PE contained 341.0 ± 14.5 mg/g DW, 78,2 ± 4.1 Bg/g DW and 38.4 + 3.3 mg/g DW of crude polysaccharide, adenosine and crude triterpenoid contents, respectively. The results of cell viability assay showed that 95,0% of chicken PBMCs and RAW 264.7 macrophages were survived under the treatment of 9.6 mg/mL of PE extracts by microculture tetrazolium assays (MTAs). Moreover, the cell inhibitory activity did not show the 50% cyto-toxicity effect (ICs0). In addition, no production by stimulated chicken PBMCs and RAW 264.7 macrophages exhibited individually the linear relations with the concentration of PE extracts, and they were approximately 65 μM and 45 p.M in 1600 μg/mL, respectively. The tendency with the release of TNF-α by RAW 264.7 maerophages also corresponded with concentration of PE extracts. It is concluded, PE extracts act as an immunostimulant for both tested cells but have no serious effect on inhibiting chicken PBMCs viability, and therefore it may be suggested as immune supplements for broilers.展开更多
The blood-brain barrier permeability of 20(S) and 20(R)-protopanaxatriol epimers and dammar-20(22)E,24-diene- 313,6α,12β-triol were investigated using the MDCK-pHaMDR cell monolayer model.

The bidirectional permeability tests were carried out, and the apparent permeability coefficients (Papp) were calculated. The two protopanaxatriol epimers showed good permeability with Papp values of-10^-5 cm/s, whereas dammar-20(22)E,24-diene-3β,6α, 12β-triol showed poor permeability with Papp of 〈1 × 10^-7 cm/s. The three compounds showed differences in intracellular accumulations due to their different structures. Inhibition of P-gp with verapamil showed that the transport mechanisms in MDCK-pHaMDR cell monolayer for compounds 1 and 2 epimers were not only simple passive diffusion but also involving an effiux way mediated by P-gp. These findings provided new basis for the further study of compounds 1 and 2 acting on the brain.展开更多
