为了探讨废旧天丝溶解液的流变及固化方式,采用HEC来改变废旧天丝溶解液的流变性,制备出质量分数为1%、2%、3%、4%、5%、6%和7%的七种的打印液,通过流变性能测试,得出溶液均具有剪切稀化性。通过单因素试验对打印工艺进行优化,确定优化后的打印工艺为:浆料挤出速度2.0 mm/s,针头移动速度20 mm/s,针头直径0.31 mm。采用直接墨水书写(Direct Ink Writing,简称DIW)技术将制备的七种液体进行打印,通过成形情况确定出较优浓度为4%、5%和6%。采用冷冻干燥、热固化和光固化对打印织物进行固化研究,通过收缩变形、颜色气味确定出最优浓度为6%,并优选热固化和冷冻干燥固化这两种固化方式,对其打印织物的性能进行测试和表征。结果表明,冷冻干燥织物表面有小而尖锐的凸起,截面呈现横向层状结构;热固化织物表面较大而平的突起较冷冻干燥固化方式舒适度更好,截面有均匀致密的竖向片状结构;冷冻干燥固化织物和热固化织物的红外光谱基本一致;与织物脱色前后的X射线图谱比较,两种固化方式的打印织物纤维素Ⅱ型和纤维素Ⅲ型的特征衍射峰转换成了混合晶型的特征峰,且特征峰宽而窄,衍射能力弱;两种固化方式表现出相似的热学性能。

VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL INJURIES AND CHANGES OF BLOOD COAGULATION AND FIBRINOLYSIS INDEXES IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME

Objective To study endothelial damage by observing changes of circulating endothelial cells (CECs) in blood, coagula-tion and fibrinolysis index in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Methods CECs were separated by isopycnic centrifugation method in 14 patients with acute lung injury (ALI), 7 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), 10 intensive care unit (ICU) controls, and 15 healthy controls. Plasma prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (FG), fibrin degradation products (FDP), and D-dimer were examined simultaneously. Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE)Ⅱand lung injury score (LIS) were recorded to evaluate severity of illness and lung injury. Results (1) The number of CECs in ALI (10.4 ±2.3) and ARDS groups (16.1 ±2.7) was higher than that in the healthy (1.9 ±0.5) (P< 0.01). In both ALI and ARDS, the number of CECs correlated with APACHEⅡ(r=0.55, P< 0.05 and r=0.62, P< 0.05, respectively)and LIS (r=0.60, P< 0.05 and r=0.53, P< 0.05, respectively). CEC number was negatively correlated with PaO 2 in ALI and ARDS (r=-0.49, P< 0.05 and r=-0.64, P< 0.05, respectively). (2) The level of FDP and D-dimer were higher in ALI and ARDS patients than that in ICU and healthy control groups (P< 0.05). The level of FG in ARDS group was significantly higher than in the ICU and healthy control groups (P< 0.05). But in ALI group, the level of FG was significantly higher than only healthy control group (P< 0.05). Conclusions Endothelial cell damage occurs in ARDS patients, which may play a major role in the pathophysiology of ARDS. Changes of endothelial cell activation and damage markers, such as CECs, plasma coagulation and fibrinolysis index, to some extent reflect severity of illness and lung injury in ARDS.

Electrokinetic phenomena of poly(vinyl butyral) hollow fiber membranes in different electrolyte solutions

The streaming potential of poly（vinyl butyral） （PVB） hollow fiber membrane was studied in different electrolyte solutions （including NaCl, KCl, CaCl2 and MgCl2）, the effects of ionic strength, ion valence and pH value on the streaming potential （SP） of the membrane were investigated. The zeta potentials and surface charge densities of the membrane were estimated on the basis of Helmholtz-Smoluchowski equation and Gouy-Chapmann theory. The results show that the PVB membrane has a weak negative charge due to the specific adsorption of ions. Moreover, the streaming potential, the zeta potential and the surface charge density of the membrane depend strongly on the salt concentration and the type and valence of ions. The iso-electric point （IEP） of the PVB membrane is arotmd 3.0 in the monovalent media （NaC1 and KC1） and 3.5 in divalent electrolytes （CaCl2 and MgCl2）. A few retentions were obtained for PVB membrane in low concentration solutions. This result verifies that the negative charged membrane surface can reject inorganic solutes by means of electrostatic repulsion effect even though the size of membrane pores is much larger than the size of salts.

Novel distribution pattern of fibrinolytic components in rabbit tissues extract: a preliminary study

Objective: The purpose of this work was to investigate the distribution pattern of fibrinolytic factors and their inhibitors in rabbit tissues. Methods: The components of the fibrinolytic system in extracts from a variety of rabbit tissues, including tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), plasminogen (Plg), plasmin (Pl) and α2 plasmin inhibitor (α2PI), were determined by colorimetric assay. Results: The tissue extracts in renal, small intestine, lung, brain and spleen demonstrated strong fibrinolytic function, in which high activity of tPA, Plg and Pl was manifested; whereas in skeletal muscle, tongue and stomach, higher activity of PAI-1 and α2PI showed obviously. Also excellent linear correlations were found between levels of tPA and PAI-1, Pl and α2PI, Plg and Pl. In related tissues, renal cortex and renal marrow showed distinctly higher activity of tPA and lower activity of PAI-1, with the levels of Plg and Pl in renal cortex being higher than those in renal marrow, where the α2PI level was higher than that in renal cortex. Similarly, the levels of tPA, Plg and Pl in small intestine were higher than those in large intestine, but with respect to PAI-1 and α2PI, the matter was reverse. In addition, the fibrinolytic activity in muscle tissue was lower, however, the levels of tPA, Plg, and Pl in cardiac muscle were obviously higher than those in skeletal muscles, and the levels of PAI-1 and α2PI were significantly lower than those in skeletal muscle. Conclusion: Our data demonstrate that a remarkable difference of the fibrinolytic patterns exists in rabbit tissues, which has probable profound significance in understanding the relationship between the function of haemostasis or thrombosis and the physiologic function in tissues.

Understanding cellulose dissolution： effect of the cation and anion structure of ionic liquids on the solubility of cellulose

The effect of ionic liquids(ILs) on the solubility of cellulose was investigated by changing their anions and cations. The structural variation included 11 kinds of cations in combination with 4 kinds of anions. The interaction between the IL and cellobiose, the repeating unit of cellulose, was clarified through nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) spectroscopy. The reason for different dissolving capabilities of various ILs was revealed. The hydrogen bonding interaction between the IL and hydroxyl was the major force for cellulose dissolution. Both the anion and cation in the IL formed hydrogen bonds with cellulose. Anions associated with hydrogen atoms of hydroxyls, and cations favored the formation of hydrogen bonds with oxygen atoms of hydroxyls by utilizing activated protons in imidazolium ring. Weakening of either the hydrogen bonding interaction between the anion and cellulose, or that between the cation and cellulose, or both, decreases the capability of ILs to dissolve cellulose.

The effect of hydrogen bond acceptor properties of ionic liquids on their cellulose solubility

It is nowadays well-known that ionic liquids can dissolve cellulose. However, little systematic data has been published that shed light onto the influence of the ionic liquid structure on the dissolution of cellulose. We have conducted 1H NMR spec- troscopy of ethanol in a large number of ionic liquids, and found an excellent correlation of the data obtained with the hydro- gen acceptor properties （B-values）. With this tool in hand, it is possible to distinguish between cellulose-dissolving and non-dissolving ionic liquids. A modulating effect of both, the anion of the non-dissolving ionic liquid and its cation was found in solubility studies with binary ionic liquid mixtures. The study was extended to other non-dissolving liquids, namely water and dimethylsulfoxide, and the effect of the cation was also investigated.
