METHODS: Immunological liver injury in murine model was induced by Bacille Calmette-Guerin and lipopolysaccharide. Expression pattern and distribution of CXCL16 were examined by real-time quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemical analysis. Anti-CXCL16 antibody was administrated in vivo to investigate its effect on T-cell recruitment and acute hepatic necrosis. The survival of murine model was also evaluated. RESULTS, The murine immunological liver injury model was successfully established, CXCL16 expression increased and predominantly distributed in periportal areas and vascular endothelia in injured liver tissues. Administration of anti-CXCL16 Ab protected the mice from death and acute liver damage. Approximately 70% of the mice survived for 72 h in the anti-CXCL16 Ab treatment group, whereas 80% died within 72 h in control Ab group. The number of liver-infiltrating T lymphocytes was significantly reduced from 1.01×10^7 to 3.52×10^6/liver, compared with control Ab treatment. CONCLUSION: CXCL16 is involved in immunological liver injury by regulating T lymphocyte infiltration in liver tissue.展开更多

METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were selected as donors and male Wistar rats as recipients for a rejection model. The recipients were divided into four groups after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLTx). In the RES A, B, and C groups, RES was given intra-peritoneally once a day (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg, respectively) after OLTx, whereas in the control group, vehicle buffer was given intra-peritoneally once a day. The survival time, serum chemistry, production of cytokines, activation of transcription factor NF-kB, and histopathologic findings were then compared among these groups. RESULTS: The mean survival time after OLTx in the RES C group was significantly longer than that in the control group (16.7+-1.2 d ,vs9.3+-0.6 d, P〈0.01). On the 7th posttransplant day the serum albumin level significantly improved in the RES C group, the serum total bile acid and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were significantly lower in the RES C group, the serum IL-2 and INF-y levels were significantly lower in the RES C group, and the activation of transcription factor NF-kB in peripheral blood T lymphocytes was significantly suppressed in the RES A, B, and C groups in comparison to those in the control group. On the 7^th post-transplant day, a histological examination revealed apparent difference in the severity of rejection between the RES C group and control group. CONCLUSION: RES has an immuno-suppressive property as well as protective effect on hepatocytes under allograft rejection. It might serve as a novel agent for reducing the severity of hepatic allograft rejection in rats.展开更多

Besides, the accuracy and flexibility of the molecular beam injection (MBI) system was improved greatly by using the special driver and controller, it is more convenient for studies such as particle transport. In the field of plasma physics experiment, the features of 3-D GAM zonal flows were further studied and some signs of low frequency zonal flows were observed. In the ECRH experiments, the effects of ECRH on sawtooth activities and m/n= 1/1 mode were studied under different plasma discharge conditions. The effect of MBI during ECRH on plasma behavior, such as non-local heat transport, was also studied.展开更多

In particular, the WPB is stronger in the growing phase than in the decaying phase. These results indicate that initial errors can cause the WPB. The domi- nant patterns of the initial errors that cause the occurrence of the WPB often present an eastern-western dipole both in the surface and subsurface temperature components. These initial errors tend to concentrate in a few areas, and these areas may represent the sensitive areas of the predictions of positive IOD events. By increasing observations over these areas and eliminating initial errors here, the WPB phenomenon may be largely weakened and the forecast skill greatly improved.展开更多

It required measures in situ of physicochemical parameters and chemical analysis at laboratory of major element and nutritive salts. The results of this study revealed the presence of pollutants in the Miliane river at El Fahs area and the eutrophication of water in the Bit M'Cherga reservoir. According to the classification of Stuyfzand and Piper, water in the wadis of Melah, Hdada, Miliane and Boudebbane respectively is brackish, salty, extremely hard, chlorinated, sulphated, calcic, and magnesic. Water in the Bir M'Cherga reservoir is characterized by calcic facies chlorinated sulphated and sodic. Thus, the Bir M'Cherga reservoir presents a worrying situation and a risk of qualitative degradation of its water.展开更多

The model incorporated the two intrinsic properties of material' s cyclic plastic and crack tip' s deformation dislocation to interpret fatigue crack threshold. The relation between material' s cyclic hardening parameters (cyclic hardening amplitude and cyclic hardening rate) and fatigue threshold is studied. Fatigue threshold is determined based on the dislocation-free zone (DFZ) model, the theory of cohesive zone and the cyclic deformation behaviour. The results show that fatigue threshold increases with the decrease of the amplitude of cyclic hardening and is independent of cyclic hardening rate, but fatigue crack growth rate increases with the increase of cyclic hardening rate.展开更多

Batch experiments were carried out to evaluate the adsorption capacity of resins under different experimental conditions, including con- centration, resin amount, initial pH, contact time and temperature. More than 99% of adsorption was achieved under the optimal condition. High adsorption rates on the resin were observed at the beginning and plateau values were obtained in 60 rain. The thermodynamic parameters (free energy change AG, enthalpy change AS and entropy change AH) for the adsorption were evaluated, The adsorption kinetic mechanism was studied with four models. The experimental results show that the adsorption follows the Langmuir isotherm and the kinetics follows the pseudo-second-order model.展开更多

METHODS Thirty-two rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups. In the control group (n=8), 2 ml of normal saline was injected into the right branch of the portal vein. In the first experimental group(n= 12), 4 ml of lipiodol emulsion was injected into the main portal vein. In the second experimental group (n= 12), 2 ml of lipiodol emulsion was injected into the right branch of the portal vein. CT and MR images were obtained before and after surgery in each group. The histopathologic condition was determined for all liver tissue specimens. RESULTS In the control group, CT and MR did not show any significant changes in the livers after surgery. After the operations in the experimental groups, the regional CT attenuation was 601±101 HU in the largest slice, which had no abnormal signals on T1Wl and T2Wl. In the first group, histologic examinations showed there were concentrated lipiodol droplets around the portal areas. In the second group, serious degeneration and necrosis in the right hepatic lobe occurred in 9 rabbits. T1Wl displayed homogenous or non-homogenous low signals and T2Wl mainly displayed a high signal. However, these pathologic changes did not appear on CT scanning due to high attenuation of the lipiodol. CONCLUSION There were no remarkable hepatic changes on MR in rabbits following good retention of the formulated lipiodol emulsion mixture of lipiodol and urografin(CT value 〉 400 HU). MR displayed serious degeneration and necrosis of the liver following embolization.展开更多

Methods The evaluation of neurological status,serial CT scans and pathological examination were applied on the canine model of IVH. The ventricular volume and blood clot volume were measured based on the CT images. Results The normal adult canine ventricle tend to be slitlike. After injection, the ventricle was obviously dilated by the blood clot. The linear regression of ventricular volume against blood clot volume was significant in the first week. From then on, however, while the clots continued to shrink, the ventricular volume showed progressive enlargement. The clots were lysed completely within 3 to 4 weeks. The linear regression of the degree of ventricular dilatation against the first clot volume was also significant. In the pathological examination, we found the ependymal lining of ventricular system was destroyed and neurons in the subependymal areas developed acidophil necrosis, which was prominent around Sylvian aqueduct. Conclusion Hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation(HVD) is a prominent feature of IVH and also is a strong indicator for poor prognosis. Ischemic changes of periventricular neurons in some important structures may be the most direct cause for poor outcome of IVH. It may be induced by periventricular vascular structures compressed by HVD, increased intracranial pressure, cerebral vasospasm and others.展开更多

文摘To investigate the relation between material's cychc plastic behaviour and fatigue crack growth, a new model is proposed. The model incorporated the two intrinsic properties of material' s cyclic plastic and crack tip' s deformation dislocation to interpret fatigue crack threshold. The relation between material' s cyclic hardening parameters (cyclic hardening amplitude and cyclic hardening rate) and fatigue threshold is studied. Fatigue threshold is determined based on the dislocation-free zone (DFZ) model, the theory of cohesive zone and the cyclic deformation behaviour. The results show that fatigue threshold increases with the decrease of the amplitude of cyclic hardening and is independent of cyclic hardening rate, but fatigue crack growth rate increases with the increase of cyclic hardening rate.

文摘Removal of zinc from cyanide barren solution is obligatory for its reuse in leach process. Batch experiments were carried out to evaluate the adsorption capacity of resins under different experimental conditions, including con- centration, resin amount, initial pH, contact time and temperature. More than 99% of adsorption was achieved under the optimal condition. High adsorption rates on the resin were observed at the beginning and plateau values were obtained in 60 rain. The thermodynamic parameters (free energy change AG, enthalpy change AS and entropy change AH) for the adsorption were evaluated, The adsorption kinetic mechanism was studied with four models. The experimental results show that the adsorption follows the Langmuir isotherm and the kinetics follows the pseudo-second-order model.
文摘OBJECTIVE To explore the MR characteristics following lipiodol retention in rabbit liver and to evaluate the sensitivity of CT (CT value 〉400 HU) and MR in displaying the hepatic degeneration and necrosis following embolization. METHODS Thirty-two rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups. In the control group (n=8), 2 ml of normal saline was injected into the right branch of the portal vein. In the first experimental group(n= 12), 4 ml of lipiodol emulsion was injected into the main portal vein. In the second experimental group (n= 12), 2 ml of lipiodol emulsion was injected into the right branch of the portal vein. CT and MR images were obtained before and after surgery in each group. The histopathologic condition was determined for all liver tissue specimens. RESULTS In the control group, CT and MR did not show any significant changes in the livers after surgery. After the operations in the experimental groups, the regional CT attenuation was 601±101 HU in the largest slice, which had no abnormal signals on T1Wl and T2Wl. In the first group, histologic examinations showed there were concentrated lipiodol droplets around the portal areas. In the second group, serious degeneration and necrosis in the right hepatic lobe occurred in 9 rabbits. T1Wl displayed homogenous or non-homogenous low signals and T2Wl mainly displayed a high signal. However, these pathologic changes did not appear on CT scanning due to high attenuation of the lipiodol. CONCLUSION There were no remarkable hepatic changes on MR in rabbits following good retention of the formulated lipiodol emulsion mixture of lipiodol and urografin(CT value 〉 400 HU). MR displayed serious degeneration and necrosis of the liver following embolization.

文摘A scheme is proposed for generating maximally entangled states for two or more three-level atoms. In the scheme the atoms are sent through a two-mode cavity one by one and interact with the two-cavity modes sequentially. The required experimental techniques are within the scope of what can be obtained in the microwave cavity QED setup.
文摘Objective To probe the mechanism of pathological changes of intraventricular hemorrhage(IVH). Methods The evaluation of neurological status,serial CT scans and pathological examination were applied on the canine model of IVH. The ventricular volume and blood clot volume were measured based on the CT images. Results The normal adult canine ventricle tend to be slitlike. After injection, the ventricle was obviously dilated by the blood clot. The linear regression of ventricular volume against blood clot volume was significant in the first week. From then on, however, while the clots continued to shrink, the ventricular volume showed progressive enlargement. The clots were lysed completely within 3 to 4 weeks. The linear regression of the degree of ventricular dilatation against the first clot volume was also significant. In the pathological examination, we found the ependymal lining of ventricular system was destroyed and neurons in the subependymal areas developed acidophil necrosis, which was prominent around Sylvian aqueduct. Conclusion Hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation(HVD) is a prominent feature of IVH and also is a strong indicator for poor prognosis. Ischemic changes of periventricular neurons in some important structures may be the most direct cause for poor outcome of IVH. It may be induced by periventricular vascular structures compressed by HVD, increased intracranial pressure, cerebral vasospasm and others.
