The sintering process for sintered wick is important for its quality. The sintering process was optimally designed based on the equation of the heat transfer limit of sintered heat pipe. Four-step sintering process was proposed to fabricate sintered wick. The sintering parameters including sintering temperature, sintering time, sintering atmosphere and sintering position were discussed. The experimental results showed that the proper sintering temperature was 950 ℃ for Cu powder of 159μm and 900 ℃ for Cu powders of 81 and 38 μm, respectively, while the wick thickness was 0.45 mm and sintering time was 3 h. The optimized sintering time was 3 h for 0.45 and 0.6 mm wick thickness and 1 h for 0.75 mm wick thickness, respectively, when copper powder diameter was 159μm and sintering temperature was 950 ℃. Redox reduction reaction between H2 and CuO during sintering could produce segmentation cracks in Cu powders as a second structure. Sintering at vertical position can effectively avoid the generation of gap between wick and the inner wall of pipe.展开更多

Then the shrinkage porosity was predicted by thermal criterion. Based on the simulation results, the influences of the runner ratio and feeder position on the porosity were discussed. The results show that synchronization of injection can be significantly influenced by the size of downsprue section, and an de-sign structure of DISA gating system was used to solve the problem of flow imbalance in the filling procegs. At the same time, the riser was designed on the hotspot for feeding shrinkage. At last, the optimizated gating system and feeding system were ac-complished to eliminate shrinkage porosity.展开更多

The results show that TiO2 nanotubes can be formed on Ti foil by both processes, whereas TiO2 nanotubes can be formed on porous Ti only in the second process. The overhigh current density led to the failure of the formation nanotubes on porous Ti in 0.5%HF electrolyte. TiO2 nanotubes were characterized by SEM and XRD. TiO2 nanotubes on porous Ti were thinner than those on Ti foil. Anatase was formed when TiO2 nanotubes were annealed at 400 °C and fully turned into rutile at 700 °C. To obtain good photodegradation, the optimal heat treatment temperature of TiO2 nanotubes was 450 °C. The porosity of the substrates influenced photodegradation properties. TiO2 nanotubes on porous Ti with 60% porosity had the best photodegradation.展开更多

Recent experiments demonstrated that Ach, choline acetyltransferase, acetylcholinesterase and Ach receptors are present in all parts of plants and have many functions, including inducing stomatal movement. The authors' previous work has evidenced that microtubules and microfilaments are involved in regulating both stomatal closing and opening. The present investigation is to determine whether stomatal opening induced by Ach is associated with microtubules and microfilaments. The results showed that Ach could induce stomatal opening of Vicia faba L. with or without addition of KCl in the dark. Ach also stimulated protoplast swelling in a K +_free solution in the dark. However, the induction was partially suppressed when the strips and protoplasts were pretreated with either cytochalasin B, an inhibitor of F_actin polymerization, or oryzalin, an inhibitor of plant microtubule polymerization. Thus, our data suggest for the first time that stomatal opening induced by Ach is associated with the dynamics of microtubules and microfilaments.展开更多

Upper digestive tract penetrating FB may lead to life threatening complications and requires prompt management. We present the case of a 52-year-old man who sustained an upper esophageal perforation associated with cervical cellulitis and mediastinitis. Following CT-scan evidence of FB penetrating the esophagus, the impacted FB was successfully extracted under rigid esophagoscopy. Direct suture was required to close the esophageal perforation. Cervical and mediastinal drainage were made immediately. Naso- gastric tube decompression, broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics, and parenteral hyperalimentation were administered for 10 d postoperatively. An esophagogram at d 10 revealed no leak at the repair site, and oral alimentation was successfully reinstituted. Conclusion: Rigid endoscope management of FB esophageal penetration is a simple, safe and effective procedure. Primary esophageal repair with drainage of all affected compartments are necessary to avoid life-threatening complications.展开更多

Dealumination of mesopores was performed selec‐tively using trichloroacetic acid, which could only diffuse into the mesopores and not the mi‐cropores owing to the size of the trichloroacetic acid molecules. Empty spaces are created in the catalyst as a result of removal of the Al atoms from the zeolite structure. If Si atoms fill the empty space, then the structure of the mesopores becomes similar to silicates, which do not have any cata‐lytic properties. Silicon containing solution was used to fill the empty spaces, and in doing so, a unique method was developed, by which silicon atoms can directly replace the extracted Al atoms from the mesopore structure. Therefore, by changing the geometry and properties of the mesopores and micropores, the amount of coke reduced from 14%for HZSM‐5 to 3%for the modified zeolite.展开更多

In the experimental range, the boiling heat transfer coefficients of R134a on a T-MPPS tube were 1.8-2.0 times larger than those of R134a on a plain tube. In addition, the developed experimental correlations verified that the predictions of the heat transfer coefficients of boiling R134a and R142bon a T-MPPS tube at the experimental conditions were considerably accurate.展开更多

Verification experiments show that the two orifice valve structure performs better than one orifice valve structure. A lowest temperature of 67.5 K was obtained at a frequency of 2.5 Hz under a system average pressure of 1.5 MPa with 200 mesh bronze screens as regenerator material, 80 mesh copper screens as stuffing material of heat exchanger. Due to the difficulty in manufacturing the thin "L" type pulse tube, the wall thickness of the pulse tube in the experiment was relatively difficult for us to reach 0.5 mm as that of the ordinary pulse tube, which resulted in relatively big system loss and affected the minimum temperature of the system to some degree.展开更多

Methods Four patients were treated by this simplified technique. There were 1 case of lower intrathoracic esophageal perforation to the left thorax , 1 high and 2 middle perforation to the right. This technique used two plastic tubes (chest tube) in a diameter about 1 .2cm . One tube served as an intercostal drainage tube to drain purulent effusion , the other was inserted abdominally through stomach to the esophagus about 10cm above the esophageal perforation. Results The four patients were treated successfully by the esophagus-stomach-abdominal wall drainage. There was no mortality or severe morbidity or complication. Hospitalizations were shortened. Conclusion This technique is simple, safe and effective. It may provide a more promising alternative method of treatment for delayed esophageal perforation, especially in the critically ill patients. The procedure can also be extended to deal with esophagus-stomach anastomotic leak.展开更多

RESULTS Epilepsy,headache,dizziness,sensory disability and limb-kinetic apraxia were the most commonly seen clinical manifestations of the intracranial CH cases.MRI was one of the preferred ways to diagnose CH.All 86 patients were treated with microsurgery,among which neuronavigator-guided surgery was conducted in 16,a second surgical procedure was performed in 3 due to a postoperative intracranial hematoma,and death occurred in 1.All the other 85 patients had a good prognosis. CONCLUSION MRI was the most sensitive diagnostic means for intracranial CH.Microsurgery was the main method to treat intracranial CH.
文摘Objective To design a technique of esophagus-stomach-abdominal wall drainage for the de-layed intrathoracic esophageal perforation and to improve the therapeutic results. Methods Four patients were treated by this simplified technique. There were 1 case of lower intrathoracic esophageal perforation to the left thorax , 1 high and 2 middle perforation to the right. This technique used two plastic tubes (chest tube) in a diameter about 1 .2cm . One tube served as an intercostal drainage tube to drain purulent effusion , the other was inserted abdominally through stomach to the esophagus about 10cm above the esophageal perforation. Results The four patients were treated successfully by the esophagus-stomach-abdominal wall drainage. There was no mortality or severe morbidity or complication. Hospitalizations were shortened. Conclusion This technique is simple, safe and effective. It may provide a more promising alternative method of treatment for delayed esophageal perforation, especially in the critically ill patients. The procedure can also be extended to deal with esophagus-stomach anastomotic leak.
