This work reports the experimental study on the preparation of graphene(GN) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs) based nanofluids with the assistance of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate(SDBS) and sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS) surfactants, and their thermal behaviors. The present work suggests not a solution, but a solution approach and deduces a new conclusion by trying to resolve the agglomeration problem and improve the dispersibility of nanoparticles in the base fluid. The analysis results of FESEM, thermal conductivity, diffusivity, effusivity and heat transfer coefficient enhancement ratio of nanofluid with surfactants SDS and SDBS expose strong evidence of the dispersing effect of surfactant on the making of nanofluid.展开更多

The data to quantitatively describe the foam decay process, including foaming ratio,foam life and decay behaviors, was obtained by pressure measuring system. The results indicate that chemical inhibitors can improve the solution foamability. The capacity of the inhibitors to enhance the solution foamability is sorted as NH_4 Cl, NH_4HCO_3, Mg Cl2 and Ca Cl_2 which can distinctly improve the foam stability as well. The capacity of the inhibitors to enhance the SDS foam stability can be arranged as Mg Cl_2, NH_4 Cl, NH_4HCO_3 and Ca Cl_2. It is observed that the gravity drainage plays a leading role in the increase of proportion of diffusion drainage. The oxidation dynamic parameters of the coal samples treated by inhibition foams were investigated using thermal analysis technique, and their synergistic effects on inhibiting coal oxidation were explored.展开更多

The results indicated that the AlCl3 catalyst led to severe coking reaction. With an increase in carbon number of alpha-olefins, the freezing point of oligomers increased and the kinematic viscosity decreased. The oligomers formed from the mixed olefins and the paraffin cracking products showed higher kinematic viscosity. Normal paraffins contained in the cracked products could increase the freezing point of oligomers. Furthermore, the distillation range of oligomers obtained from the cracked products was close to those of oligo- mers originated from 1-octene and 1-decene, while the oligomers obtained from the mixed olefins and 1-dodecene had simi- lar distillation ranges.展开更多

METHODS: One hundred and sixty outpatients referred for diagnostic EGD were randomly allocated to 3 groups: conventional (C)-EGD (9.8 mm in diameter), transnasal (TN)-EGD and transoral (TO)-EGD (5.9 mm in diameter). Pre-EGD anxiety was measured using a 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS). After EGD, patients and endoscopists completed a questionnaire on the pain, nausea, choking, overall discomfort, and quality of the examination either using VAS or answering some questions. The duration of EGD was timed. Blood oxygen saturation (SaO2) and heart rate (HR) were monitored during EGD. RESULTS: Twenty-one patients refused to participate in the study. The 3 groups were well-matched for age, gender, experience with EGD, and anxiety. EGD was completed in 91.1% (41/45), 97.5% (40/41), and 96.2% (51/53) of cases in TN-EGD, TO-EGD, and C-EGD groups, respectively. TN-EGD lasted longer (3.11 ± 1.60 min) than TO-EGD (2.25 ± 1.45 min) and C-EGD (2.49 ± 1.64 rain) (P 〈 0.05). The overall tolerance was higher (P 〈 0.05) and the overall discomfort was lower (P 〈 0.05) in TN-EGD group than in C-EGD group. EGD was tolerated "better than expected" in 73.2% of patients in TN-EGD group and 55% and 39.2% of patients in TO-EGD and C-EGD groups, respectively (P 〈 0.05). Endoscopy was tolerated "worst than expected" in 4.9% of patients in TN-EGD group and 17.5% and 23.5% of patients in TO- EGD and C-EGD groups, respectively (P 〈 0.05). TN-EGD caused mild epistaxis in one case, The ability to insuffiate air, wash the lens, and suction of the thin endoscope were lower than those of conventional instrument (P 〈 0,001), All biopsies performed were adequate for histological assessment. CONCLUSION: Diagnostic TN-EGD is better tolerated than C-EGD, Narrow-diameter endoscope has a level of diagnostic accuracy comparable to that of conventional gastroscope, even though some technical characteristics of these instruments should be improved, Transnasal EGD with narrow-diameter endoscope should be proposed to all patients undergoing diagnostic EGD.展开更多

Some morphological and confirmation tests were achieved. The sensitivity tests had been accomplished by diffusion and dilution techniques to determine the response of isolate against the antibiotics. The results of diffusion tests showed to the sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics of cefixime, erythromycin, gentamicin and tetracycline respectively. It was resistant to trimethoprim sulfonamide (TMP), bacitracin, penicillin and all its generations, and moderate resistance to nalidixic acid. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) for amoxicillin was ranged between 30-40 pg/mL and these results are an approximation of the universal findings. Curing experiments showed the effective role of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) (1.5%) comparing with temperature. The bacterial cells became sensitive to amoxicillin and TMP. The curing by temperature did not differ significantly from control treatment in plasmid pattern or antibiotics response. Plasmid profile referring that curing by SDS has been caused disturbance in beta -lactamase genes through the sensitivity to amoxicillin and remaining resistance to ampicillin. Curing isolate by SDS also became more sensitive to nalidixic acid, erythromycin and tetracycline respectively. It was found from the curing treatments the complexity distribution of r-genes between different plasmid size and chromosome but not effect on their insecticidal ability.展开更多

The conductivity of the blends with various compositions was measured and the doped :xtent of PANI- DBSA in different casting solvent systems was studied. Solution blends prepared from CHCh/DMSO displayed higher conductivity than those obtained via CHCh/DMF. The dedoping reaction of PANI-DBSA in CHCl3/DMF identified by UV-Vis and FTIR analysis contributed to the lower conductivity of PANI-DBSA/PAN blend.展开更多

Two cases, i.e. the short and long time limits, were mainly discussed in this paper. From the measured dynamic surface tension of aqueous surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solutions at 25 ℃, the adsorption kinetics of SDS at air/solution interface was studied. It was proved that for both of the short and long time limits, the adsorption process of SDS was controlled by diffusion.展开更多

Among 174(43.9%) patients who were examined for Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) infection, 78(44.8%) patients were positive for H. pylori infection, 21(12.1%) were on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs) therapy, and 80(46%) patients were neither infected of H. pylori nor treated by any kinds of NSAIDs. Multivariate analysis indicated that older age(OR = 1.09, 95%CI: 1.04-1.16) and comorbidity(OR = 4.11, 95%CI: 1.03-16.48) were risk factors for NSAID-associated PPU compared with non-H. pylori, non-NSAID associated PPU and older age(OR = 1.04, 95%CI: 1.02-1.07) and alcohol consumption(OR = 2.08, 95%CI: 1.05-4.13) were risk factors for non-H. pylori, non-NSAID associated PPU compared with solely H. pylori positive PPU.CONCLUSION Elderly patients with comorbidities are associated with NSAIDs-associated PPU. Non-H. pylori, non-NSAID peptic ulcer is important etiology of PPU and alcohol consumption is associated risk factor.展开更多

The influence of reaction temperature, pressure and liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) on the reaction catalyzed by the type B silica gel- phosphotungstic acid catalyst was investigated. It had been verified that when the reaction temperature increased from 170 ~C to 190 ~C, the conversion of propene increased while the selectivity of nonene and dodecene decreased; when the re- action pressure increased from 3.5 MPa to 4.5 MPa, the conversion of propene increased also, and the selectivity of nonene and dodecene changed very little. The conversion of propene at a space velocity of between 0.5 h-1 and 1.0 h-~ was higher than that achieved at 2.0 h-~, but the selectivity of nonene and dodecene did not show regular fluctuations. An optimum conversion of propene (91.05 m%) and an optimum selectivity of nonene and dodecene (89.51 m%) could be achieved at a reaction temperature of 170 ~C, a reaction pressure of 4.5MPa, and a LHSV of 1.0 fit. The experiments on catalyst life showed that the activity of the type B silica gel-phosphotungstic acid catalyst could be only maintained in 25 hours, and the reason was explained also.展开更多

文摘AIM:To evaluate the trends in the eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori) over the past 11 years in a single center.METHODS:This retrospective study covered the period from January 2000 to December 2010.We evaluated 5746 patients diagnosed with gastric ulcers(GU),duodenal ulcers(DU),GU + DU,or nonpeptic ulcers associated with an H.pylori infection.We treated them annually with the 2 wk standard first-line triple regimen,proton pump inhibitor(PPI) + amoxicilin + clarithromycin(PAC;PPI,clarithromycin 500 mg,and amoxicillin 1 g,all twice a day).The follow-up test was performed at least 4 wk after the completion of the 2 wk standard H.pylori eradication using the PAC regimen.We also assessed the eradication rates of 1 wk second-line therapy with a quadruple standard regimen(PPI b.i.d.,tripotassium dicitrate bismuthate 300 mg q.i.d.,metronidazole 500 mg t.i.d.,and tetracycline 500 mg q.i.d.) after the failure of the first-line therapy.Statistical analysis was performed with 95%CI for the differences in the annual eradication rates.RESULTS:A total of 5746 patients [2333 males(58.8%),1636 females(41.2%);mean age of males vs females 51.31 ± 13.1 years vs 52.76 ± 13.6 years,P < 0.05,total mean age 51.9 ± 13.3 years(mean ± SD)] were investigated.Among these patients,1674 patients were excluded:35 patients refused treatment;18 patients ceased H.pylori eradication due to side effects;1211 patients had inappropriate indications for H.pylori eradication,having undergone stomach cancer operation or chemotherapy;and 410 patients did not undergo the follow-up.We also excluded 103 patients who wanted to stop eradication treatment after only 1 wk due to poor compliance or the side effects mentioned above.Finally,we evaluated the annual eradication success rates in a total of 3969 patients who received 2 wk first-line PAC therapy.The endoscopic and clinical findings in patients who received the 2 wk PAC were as follows:gastric ulcer in 855(21.5%);duodenal ulcer in 878(22.1%);gastric and duodenal ulcer in 124(3.1%),erosive,atrophic gastritis and functional dyspepsia in 2055(51.8%);and other findings(e.g.,MALToma,patients who wanted to receive the therapy even though they had no abnormal endoscopic finding) in 57(0.5%).The overall eradication rate of the 2 wk standard firstline triple regimen was 86.5%.The annual eradication rates from 2000 to 2010 were 86.7%,85.4%,86.5%,83.3%,89.9%,90.5%,88.4%,84.5%,89.1%,85.8%,and 88.3%,sequentially(P = 0.06).No definite evidence of a significant change in the eradication rate was seen during the past eleven years.The eradication rates of second-line therapy were 88.9%,82.4%,85%,83.9%,77.3%,85.7%,84.4%,87.3%,83.3%,88.9%,and 84%(P = 0.77).The overall eradication rate of 1 wk quadruple second-line therapy was 84.7%.There was no significant difference in the eradication rate according to the H.pylori associated diseases.CONCLUSION:This study showed that there was no trend change in the H.pylori eradication rate over the most recent 11 years in our institution.
文摘General evaluation of isolate Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt-ASF-1) used as biocide in meddle scale application was conducted. Some morphological and confirmation tests were achieved. The sensitivity tests had been accomplished by diffusion and dilution techniques to determine the response of isolate against the antibiotics. The results of diffusion tests showed to the sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics of cefixime, erythromycin, gentamicin and tetracycline respectively. It was resistant to trimethoprim sulfonamide (TMP), bacitracin, penicillin and all its generations, and moderate resistance to nalidixic acid. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) for amoxicillin was ranged between 30-40 pg/mL and these results are an approximation of the universal findings. Curing experiments showed the effective role of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) (1.5%) comparing with temperature. The bacterial cells became sensitive to amoxicillin and TMP. The curing by temperature did not differ significantly from control treatment in plasmid pattern or antibiotics response. Plasmid profile referring that curing by SDS has been caused disturbance in beta -lactamase genes through the sensitivity to amoxicillin and remaining resistance to ampicillin. Curing isolate by SDS also became more sensitive to nalidixic acid, erythromycin and tetracycline respectively. It was found from the curing treatments the complexity distribution of r-genes between different plasmid size and chromosome but not effect on their insecticidal ability.
文摘Blends of dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid doped polyaniline (PANI-DBSA) and polyacryionitrile (PAN) dissolved in either CHCh/DMF or CHCl3/DMSO mixture were solution cast. The conductivity of the blends with various compositions was measured and the doped :xtent of PANI- DBSA in different casting solvent systems was studied. Solution blends prepared from CHCh/DMSO displayed higher conductivity than those obtained via CHCh/DMF. The dedoping reaction of PANI-DBSA in CHCl3/DMF identified by UV-Vis and FTIR analysis contributed to the lower conductivity of PANI-DBSA/PAN blend.
文摘For the diffusion-controlled adsorption, the expression of dynamic surface adsorption P(t) was ob- tained by solving the diffusion equation. Two cases, i.e. the short and long time limits, were mainly discussed in this paper. From the measured dynamic surface tension of aqueous surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solutions at 25 ℃, the adsorption kinetics of SDS at air/solution interface was studied. It was proved that for both of the short and long time limits, the adsorption process of SDS was controlled by diffusion.
文摘AIM To elucidate the epidemiological characteristics and associated risk factors of perforated peptic ulcer(PPU).METHODS We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients who were diagnosed with benign PPU from 2010 through 2015 at 6 Hallym university-affiliated hospitals.RESULTS A total of 396 patients were identified with postoperative complication rate of 9.1% and mortality rate of 0.8%. Among 174(43.9%) patients who were examined for Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) infection, 78(44.8%) patients were positive for H. pylori infection, 21(12.1%) were on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs) therapy, and 80(46%) patients were neither infected of H. pylori nor treated by any kinds of NSAIDs. Multivariate analysis indicated that older age(OR = 1.09, 95%CI: 1.04-1.16) and comorbidity(OR = 4.11, 95%CI: 1.03-16.48) were risk factors for NSAID-associated PPU compared with non-H. pylori, non-NSAID associated PPU and older age(OR = 1.04, 95%CI: 1.02-1.07) and alcohol consumption(OR = 2.08, 95%CI: 1.05-4.13) were risk factors for non-H. pylori, non-NSAID associated PPU compared with solely H. pylori positive PPU.CONCLUSION Elderly patients with comorbidities are associated with NSAIDs-associated PPU. Non-H. pylori, non-NSAID peptic ulcer is important etiology of PPU and alcohol consumption is associated risk factor.
文摘In this paper, the propene oligomerization reaction catalyzed by phosphotungstic acid supported on two kinds of silica gel was studied, it had been found out that the conversion of propene catalyzed by the type A silica gel-phosphotung- stic acid catalyst was 3.38 m%, while the conversion of propene catalyzed by the type B silica gel-phosphotungstic acid catalyst was 90.1 m% with a nonene selectivity of 42.33 m%, and a dodecene selectivity of 31.79 m%. The influence of reaction temperature, pressure and liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) on the reaction catalyzed by the type B silica gel- phosphotungstic acid catalyst was investigated. It had been verified that when the reaction temperature increased from 170 ~C to 190 ~C, the conversion of propene increased while the selectivity of nonene and dodecene decreased; when the re- action pressure increased from 3.5 MPa to 4.5 MPa, the conversion of propene increased also, and the selectivity of nonene and dodecene changed very little. The conversion of propene at a space velocity of between 0.5 h-1 and 1.0 h-~ was higher than that achieved at 2.0 h-~, but the selectivity of nonene and dodecene did not show regular fluctuations. An optimum conversion of propene (91.05 m%) and an optimum selectivity of nonene and dodecene (89.51 m%) could be achieved at a reaction temperature of 170 ~C, a reaction pressure of 4.5MPa, and a LHSV of 1.0 fit. The experiments on catalyst life showed that the activity of the type B silica gel-phosphotungstic acid catalyst could be only maintained in 25 hours, and the reason was explained also.

文摘Chemical conditioning was used to modify the triboelectrification of coal and mineral particles.The chemicals tested included starch,lignin,kerosene,ethanol,acetic acid,salicylic acid,sodium oleate,Sodium Hexametaphosphate(SH),sodium silicate, Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate(SDBS),Sodium Bicarbonate(SB) and ammonia.A high-speed,dry mixing method was employed.The charge-to-mass ratio of the coal and mineral samples,both untreated and treated,was tested using a Faraday cup. Dielectric constants were determined by measuring capacitance.It is found that the selectivity of the additives toward coal or minerals is not consistent.Salicylic acid is the optimal additive to enhance the triboelectrification performance of coal samples.Starch, lignin and sodium oleate are suitable for removal of pyrite.SH,sodium silicate,SDBS,SB and ammonia are suitable additives for the removal of ash-forming minerals.
