Fifty four local sheep (10 to 12 months of age) with body weight (BW) ranged from 14 to 1 7 kg. The experimental sheep were assigned into a completely randomized design with a 2 × 3 × 3 factorial arrangement with 3 replications. The first factor was two levels of sucrose supplementation (0 and 6 g/kg BW), the second factor was three levels of insulin injection after transportation (0, 0.3 and 0.6 IU/kg BW), while the third factor was three duration time of resting period (2, 4 and 6 h prior to slaughtering). Parameters measured were rectal temperature and heart rate, body weight, carcass percentage, meat pH, water holding capacity, meat tenderness, cooking loss and meat color. The results of the experiment showed that sheep after transportation had higher rectal temperature and heart rate, indicated that sheep supplemented with sucrose after transportation has a lower meat pH and cooking loss. The longer resting period prior to slaughtering has the lower body weight, but has higher carcass percentage. However, the treatments did not influence water holding capacity, meat tenderness and meat color. It was concluded that sucrose supplementation, insulin injection, and resting period prior to slaughtering in sheep exposed to stressful transportation could improve meat quality.展开更多

The results indicated that the gardenoside-decocted-out rates in the decoctions prepared by different combinations of the ingredients with the ground Zhi Zi (Fructus Gardeniae) all were higher significantly than those in the decoction with intact Zhi Zi (Fructus Gardeniae), and generally, different combinations of the ingredients in the decoction had only little effect on the gardenoside-decocted-out rate.展开更多

The MPS (moving particle semi-implicit) method is one of particle methods that calculate behavior of incompressible fluid by semi-implicit method. In preceding studies, the MPS method has been extensively studied and developed for simulations of different phenomena involved in severe accident of nuclear reactors. This paper aims to investigate whether the MPS method is capable of analyzing the lower head ablation phenomenon. The small-scale experiment carried out at CRIEPI (Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry) using Pb-Bi vessel and silicone oil was analyzed for the validation of the MPS method. The MPS analysis well reproduced the experimental phenomena qualitatively. However, with respect to some quantitative results, more investigation such as influence of the calculation particle size is necessary.展开更多

Though usually characterized by low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure, some patients with SIH are observed to have normal pressure values. In this study, we aimed to confirm the proportion of patients with normal CSF opening pressure (CSF OP) and explore the factors affecting CSF OP in SIH patients. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 206 consecutive SIH patients and analyzed their clinical and imaging variables (including demographic data, body mass index (BMI), duration of symptoms, and brain imaging findings). Univariate and multiVariate analyses were performed to identify the potential factors affecting CSF OP. Results: In a total of 114 (55.3%) cases the CSF OP was 〈60 mmH2O (1 mmH2O=9.80665 Pa), in 90 (43.7%) cases it was between 60 and 200 mmH2O, and in 2 (1.0%) cases it was 〉200 mmH2O. Univadate analysis showed that the duration of symptoms (P〈0.001), BMI (P〈0.001), and age (P=0.024) were positively correlated with CSF OP. However, multivariate analysis suggested that only the duration of symptoms (P〈0.001) and BMI (P〈0.001) were strongly correlated with CSF OP. A relatively high R2 of 0.681 was obtained for the multivariate model. Conclusions: Our study indicated that in patients without a low CSF OP, a diagnosis of SIH should not be excluded. BMI and the duration of symptoms can influence CSF OP in SIH patients, and other potential factors need further investigation.展开更多

Then the corresponding two-dimensional FEM analyses for the coupled thermohydro-mechanical processes were carried out, and the states of temperatures, rates and magnitudes of aperture closure, pore pressures, flow velocities and stresses in the rock mass were investigated. The results show the followings: The aperture closure rates caused by stress corrosion are almost six orders higher than those caused by pressure solution, and the two kinds of closure rates climb up, then decline, furthermore tend towards stability; the fracture apertures decrease from the original value and tend towards the residual value, and the contact-area ratios of asperities increase also from the original value and tend towards the nominal value; when the effects of stress corrosion and pressure solution are considered, the negative fracture pressures in near field rise very highly; the differences between the magnitudes and distributions of stresses within the rock mass in two calculation cases are very small.展开更多

Methods: 274 outpatients were allocated to 3 observation groups: obesity, overweight and normal, using standard weight as an index. The obesity group was divided, at a ratio of 1: 1 : 3, into 3 groups: fixed prescription, local treatment and treatment based on syndrome differentiation. The syndromes were classified into five types in the syndrome differentiation group. Different protocols of acupuncture and moxibustion plus auricular-plaster therapy were drawn up for treatment. Body mass index (BMI), body fat (F%), body circumferences and subcutaneous fat were evaluated in the patients before and after treatments. Results: There was a difference in the controlling effect of acupuncture on body weight among different populations. The curative effect was better in the obesity and overweight groups than in the normal group; the effective rate was 72.2%, 72.5% and 44.0%, respectively. There was also a difference in curative effect among obesity patients with different types of syndromes. The curative effects on retention of damp-heat in the stomach, stagnation of liver qi and dampness retention due to splenic hypofunction were equal but all better than those on deficiency of splenonephric yang and internal heat due to yin deficiency. There was also a difference in curative effect among different protocols. The curative effects in the syndrome differentiation-based treatment and fixed prescription groups were equal (77.8%) but all better than that in the local treatment group (53.3%). Conclusion: Acupuncture and moxibustion is an effective way to treat obesity and overweight. Treatment based on syndrome differentiation and fixed prescription on the basis of syndrome differentiation are effective methods.展开更多
