The results show that the normal load is one of the main controlling factors for generation of electric arc during friction process with electric current applied. The strength of electric arc is enhanced with the decrease of normal loads and the increase of electric currents. The unstable friction process and the fluctuated dynamic friction coefficients are strongly dependent upon the electric arc. The wear volumes and the wear mechanism of carbon brush were affected by the electric arc obviously. As no electric arc occurs, no clear discrepancy of the wear volumes of the carbon samples with and without electric current applied could be detected. While the wear mechanisms are mainly mechanical wear. However, under the condition of the electric arc appearance, the wear volume of carbon with electric current applied increases much more rapidly than that without electric current applied and also increases obviously with the increase of electric current strengths and the decrease of normal loads. The wear mechanisms of carbon block are mainly electric arc ablation accompanying with adhesive wear and material transferring.展开更多

Results showed that at 20℃ mass loss of leaf litter driven by microbial decomposers was higher in broadleaf forest than that in coniferous forest, whereas the difference in mass loss of leaf litter was not significant at 30℃. The temperature increase did not affect the mass loss of leaf litter for coniferous forest treatment, but significantly reduced the decomposition rate for broadleaf forest treatment. The functional decomposers of microorganism in broadleaf forest produced a higher lignin decomposition rate at 20℃, compared to that in coniferous forest, but the difference in lignin decomposition was not found between two forest types at 30℃. Improved temperature increased the lignin decomposition for both broadleaf and coniferous forest. Additionally, the functional group of microorganism from broadleaf forest showed marginally higher carbohydrate loss than that from coniferous forest at both temperatures. Temperature increase reduced the carbohydrate decomposition for broadleaf forest, while only a little reduce was found for coniferous forest. Remarkable differences occurred in responses between most enzymes (Phenoloxidase, peroxidase, !5-glucosidase and endocellulase) and decomposition rate of leaf litter to forest type and temperature, although there exist strong relationships between measured enzyme activities and decomposition rate in most cases. The reason is that more than one enzyme contribute to the mass loss of leaf litter and organic chemical components. In conclusion, at a community scale the coniferous and broadleaf forests differed in their temperature-decomposition relationships.展开更多

The results showed that carbon nanotubes had no obvious structural damages but only shell bending under 100 keV electron beam irradiation. However, when the electron energy increased to 200 keV, the nanotubes were damaged and amorphization, pits and gaps were detected. Furthermore, generating of carbon onions and welding between two MWCNTs occurred under 200 keV electron irradiation. It was easy to destroy the MWCNTs as the electron beams exceeded the displacement threshold energy that was calculated to be 83-110 keV. Conversely, the energy of electron beams below the threshold energy was not able to damage the tubes. The damage mechanism is sputtering and atom displacement.展开更多

METHODS: All rats were randomly divided into control group, CCl4-treated group, colchicine-treated group and EGb-protected group. Chronic liver injury was induced in experimental groups by subcutaneous injection of CCh and fed with chows premixed with 79.5% corn powder, 20% lard and 0.5% cholesterol (v/v). EGb-protected group was treated with EGb (0.5 g/kg body weight per day) for 7 wk. At the end of wk 8, all the rats were killed. Liver function, liver fibrosis, oxidative stress and expression of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) a-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and type I collagens in liver were determined. In addition, pathology changes of liver tissue were observed under light microscope. RESULTS: The levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and albumin (AIb) in EGb-protected group were notably improved as compared with the CCL4-treated group (P 〈 0.01). The contents of serum hyaluronic acid (HA), type III procollagen (PCⅢ), type IV collagen (CIV) and the expression of hepatic tissue TGF-β1, α-SMA and type I collagen in EGb-protected group were significantly lower than those in CCL4-treated groups (P 〈 0.05, P 〈 0.01). The degrees of liver fibrosis in EGb-protected groups were lower than those in CCL4-treated groups (6.58 ±1.25 vs 9.52 ± 2.06, P 〈 0.05). Compared to the CCL4-treated group, the levels of plasma glutathoine peroxidase (Se-GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were strikingly improved also in EGb-protected group (P 〈 0.05, P 〈 0.01). CONCLUSION: EGb resists oxidative stress and thereby reduces chronic liver injury and liver fibrosis in rats with liver injury induced by CCl4.展开更多

Methods Sprague-Dawley rats with multiple organ injury induced by 5 mg/kg LPS intravenous injection were exposed to room air or 2.5 × 10 ^-4 (V/V) CO for 3 hours. The lung and intestine tissues of rats were harvested to measure the expression of heme oxygenase-1 ( HO-1 ) with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, the levels of pulmonary tumor necrosis factor-or ( TNF-α), interleukin-6 ( IL-6), and intestinal platelet activator factor ( PAF), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the content of maleic dialdehyde (MDA) and the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) with chemical method, the cell apoptosis rate with flow cytometry, and the pathological changes with light microscope. Results CO inhalation obviously up-regulated the expression of HO-1 in lung (5.43 ± 0. 92) and intestine (6. 29 ± 1.56) in LPS + CO group compared with ( 3.08 ± 0. 82) and ( 3.97 ± 1.16 ) in LPS group ( both P 〈 0. 05 ). The levels of TNF-ot, IL-6 in lung and PAF, ICAM-1 in intestine ofLPS + CO group were 0. 91 ±0. 25,0. 64 ±0.05, 1. 19 ± 0. 52, and 1.83 ±0. 35 pg/mg, respectively, significantly lower than the corresponding values in LPS group ( 1.48 ± 0. 23, 1.16 ± 0. 26, 1.84 ± 0. 73, and 3.48 ± 0. 36 pg/mg, all P 〈 0. 05 ). The levels of MDA, MPO, and cell apoptosis rate in lung and intestine of LPS + CO group were 1.02 ± 0. 23 nmol/mg, 1.74 ± 0. 17 nmol/mg, 7.18 ± 1.62 U/mg, 6. 30 ±0. 97 U/mg, 1.60% ±0. 34%, and 30. 56% ±6. 33%, respectively, significantly lower than the corresponding values in LPS group ( 1.27 ± 0. 33 nmol/mg, 2. 75 ± 0. 39 nmol/mg, 8. 16 ± 1.49 U/mg, 7. 72 ± 1.07 U/mg, 3.18% ±0. 51%, and 41.52% -+3.36%, all P 〈0.05). In addition, injury of lung and intestine induced by LPS was attenuated at presence of CO inhalation. Conclusion CO inhalation protects rat lung and intestine from LPS-induced injury via anti-oxidantion, anti-inflammation, anti-apoptosis, and up-regulation of HO-1 expression.展开更多

Histological changes in liver tissue were observed with hematoxylineosin staining. Liver function was assayed with an automatic biochemical analyzer. Concentration of malonyldialdehyde (MDA) and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) were assayed by colorimetry. Activity of adenine nucleotide translocator in liver tissue was detected with the atractyloside-inhibitor stop technique. Expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) mRNA in liver tissue was detected with in situ hybridization.RESULTS: Carbon dioxide 60 min could induce liver pneumoperitoneum for injury in rats. Alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were 95.7 ± 7.8 U/L and 86.8 ± 6.9 U/L in 0 h experimental group, and 101.4 ± 9.3 U/L and 106.6 ±8.7 U/L in 1 h experimental group. However, no significant difference was found in total billirubin, albumin, and pre-albumin in the three groups. In 0 h experimental group, the concentration of MDA was 9.83 ±2.53 μmol/g in liver homogenate and 7.64 ± 2.19 μmol/g in serum respectively, the activity of SOD was 67.58±9.75 nu/mg in liver and 64.47 ± 10.23 nu/mg in serum respectively. In 1 h experimental group, the concentration of MDA was 16.57±3.45 μmol/g in liver tissue and 12.49 ±4.21 μmol/g in serum respectively, the activity of SOD was 54.29 ±7.96 nu/mg in liver tissue and 56.31 ±9.85 nu/mg in serum respectively. The activity of ANT in liver tissue was 9.52 ± 1.56 in control group, 6.37± 1.33 in 0 h experimental group and 7.2 8±1.45 (10^-9 mol/min per gram protein) in 1 h experimental group, respectively. The expression of HIF-1 mRNA in liver tissue was not detected in control group, and its optical density difference value was 6.14±1.03 in 0 h experimental group and 9.51 ± 1.74 in 1 h experimental group, respectively. CONCLUSION: Carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum during the sham operation can induce hepatic injury in rats. The probable mechanisms of liver injury include anoxia, ischemia reperfusion and oxidative stress. Liver injury should be avoided during clinical laparoscopic operation with carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum.展开更多

文摘AIM:To observe the hepatic injury induced by carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum(CDP) in rabbits,compare the eects olow-and high-pressure pneumoperitoneum,and to determine the degree o hepatic injury induced by these two clinically relevant CDP pressures.METHODS:Thirty healthy male New Zealand rabbits weighing 3.0 to 3.5 kg were randomly divided into three groups(n = 10 for each group) and subjected to the ollowing to CDP pressures:no gas control,10 mmHg,or 15 mmHg.Histological changes in liver tissues were observed with hematoxylin and eosin staining and transmission electron microscopy.Liver unction was evaluated using an automatic biochemical analyzer.Adenine nucleotide translocator(ANT) activity in liver tissue was detected with the atractyloside-inhibitor stop technique.Bax and Bcl-2 expression levels were detected bywestern blotting.RESULTS:Liver Functions in the 10 mmHg and 15 mmHg experimental groups were significantly disturbed compared with the control group.After CDP,the levels or alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase were 77.3 ± 14.5 IU/L and 60.1 ± 11.4 IU/L,respectively,in the 10 mmHg experimental group and 165.1 ± 19.4 IU/L and 103.8 ± 12.3 IU/L,respectively,in the 15 mmHg experimental group,which were all higher than those of the control group(p < 0.05).There was no difference in pre-albumin concentration between the 10 mmHg experimental group and the control group,but the prealbumin level of the 15 mmHg experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group(p < 0.05).No significant differences were observed in the levels of total bilirubin or albumin among the three groups.After 30 and 60 min of CDP,pH was reduced(p < 0.05) and fa CO2 was elevated(p < 0.05) in the 10 mmHg group compared with controls,and these changes were more pronounced in the 15 mmHg group.Hematoxylin and eosin staining showed no significant change in liver morphology,except for mild hyperemia in the two experimental groups.Transmission electron microscopy showed mild mitochondrial swelling in hepatocytes of the 10 mmHg group,and this was more pronounced in the 15 mmHg group.No significant difference in ANT levels was found between the control and 10 mmHg groups.However,ANT concentration was significantly lower in the 15 mmHg group compared with the control group.The expression of hepatic Bax was significantly increased in the two experimental groups compared with the controls,but there were no differences in Bcl-2 levels among the three groups.Twelve hours after CDP induction,the expression of hepatic Bax was more significant in the 15 mmHg group than in the 10 mmHg group.CONCLUSION:A CDP pressure of 15 mmHg caused more substantial hepatic injury,such as increased levels of acidosis,mitochondrial damage,and apoptosis;therefore,10 mmHg CDP is preferable for laparoscopic operations.
