It has been shown that the linear compound (Mg,Zn)17La2 existed in the Mg-Zn-La system at 350℃. The linear cornpound (so-called Tphase) was with the C-centred orthorhombic crystal structure induced by the solution of significant quantities of the third element. The three-phase region α(Mg) + MgZn(La) + T and the two-phase region composed of the α(Mg) and the linear-compound T phase existed in the Mg-rich comer of the Mg-Zn-La system at 350℃.展开更多

We hypothesize that TH plays an important role in statin responsiveness in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods Consecutive 1091 hospitalized AMI patients in Fuwai hospital (Beijing, China) were enrolled into this current study. The study population was divided into three groups based on the intensity of statin treatment: low-intensity (n = 221), moderate-intensity (n = 712) and high-intensity (n = 158). Lipid levels were measured after statin therapy lasting for 10-14 days. The association between TH, lipid profile levels and achievement of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering goals was explored in patients with AMI on statin therapy. Results By general linear analysis, a significant linear trend between free triiodothyronine (FT3) and LDL-C level (linear coefficient r = -0.082, P = 0.001) and FT3 and total cholesterol (TC) level (r = -0.105, P = 0.031) was observed in the moderate-intensity statin group. A more apparent linear trend was detected in the high-intensity statin group (for LDL-C: r = -0.113, P = 0.005; for TC: r = -0.172, P = 0.029, respectively). However, no significant correlation was observed in the low-intensity statin group. Compared with the low-FT3 group (defined as FT3 〈 1.79 pg/mL), the OR (95% CI) for attaining a LDL-C 〈 3.0mmol/L was found to be 2.217 (1.001–4.839) in the higher FT3 group (〉 2.95 pg/mL). The OR (95% CI) for attaining the more intensive goal (LDL-C 〈 1.8mmol/L) was 2.836 (1.014–5.182). Conclusions Our study reveals that variation in FT3 levels is related to the cholesterol-lowering responsiveness of statins in AMI patients. These findings suggest that low FT3 may be a factor responsible for lack of LDL-C goal attainment and patients’ poor responsiveness to statin treatment.展开更多

For a sinusoidal applied field, we extend the local potential in terms of sinusoidal components at fundamental frequency and high-order harmonic frequencies to treat the nonlinear composites. For nonlinear composite media with a low concentrations of spherical inclusions, we give the formulae of the nonlinear effective AC susceptibility at the third harmonic frequency.展开更多

In order to improve the compatibility of TBG and its analogues with other ingredients in antifouling paints, structural modification of TBG was focused mainly on halogen substitution and N-substitution. Two halogen-substitute gramines and their derivatives which contain ester functional groups at N-position of gramines were synthesized. Algal inhibition activities of the synthesized compounds against algae Nitzschia cIosterium were evaluated and the Median Effective Concentration (EC50) range was 1.06-6.74 lag ml^-1. Compounds that had a long chain ester group exhibited extremely high antifouling activity. Quantitive Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) studies with multiple linear regression analysis were applied to fred correlation between different calculated molecular descriptors and biological activity of the synthesized compounds. The results show that the toxicity (log (I/EC50)) is correlated well with the partition coefficient log P. Thus, these products have potential function as antifouling agents.展开更多

The data set contained non-polar and polar liquids, and saturated and unsaturated compounds. The regression analysis shows that excellent result is obtained with multiple linear regression. The predictive power of the proposed model was discussed using the leave-one-out (LOO) cross-validated (CV) method. The correlation coefficient (R) and the leave-one-out cross-validation correlation coefficient (Rcv) of multiple linear regression model are 0.991 4 and 0.991 3, respectively. The new model gives the average absolute relative deviation of 1.81% for 92 substances. The result demonstrates that novel topological indices based on the equilibrium electro-negativity of atom and the relative bond length are useful model parameters for QSPR analysis of compounds.展开更多

Research on the fracture and direct tension behavior of UHPCC was carried out.The constitution law of UHPCC was divided into three phases:pre-partial debonding,partial debonding,and pullout phases.A direct tension constitution law was constructed based on the proposed fiber reinforcing parameter as a function of fiber volume fraction,fiber diameter and length,and fiber bonding strength.With the definition of linear crack shape,the energy release rate of UHPCC was derived and the R-curve equation was calculated from this.Loading tests of UHPCC using a three-point bending beam with an initial notch were carried out.The predictions from the proposed R-curve were in good agreement with the test results, indicating that the proposed R-curve accurately describes the fracture resistance of UHPCC.Introduction of a fiber reinforcement parameter bridges the fracture property R-curve and micro-composites’ mechanics parameters together.This has laid the foundation for further research into fracture properties based on micro-mechanics.The proposed tension constitution law and R-curve can be references for future UHPCC fracture evaluation.展开更多

To get a better understanding of its drying mechanism, a penetration model developed by Tsotsas and Schlünder (1986) was used to simulate the drying kinetics of the PMS. The result indicated that this kinetics could be divided into three phases: pasty, lumpy and granular phases, and could be successfully simulated by the penetration model as the related sludge parameters were integrated into the model. The emission rate curves of the volatile compounds (VCs) were interrelated to the drying rate curve of the PMS, especially for volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and ammonia in this study.展开更多

Recently, amavadin was found to have potential therapeutic effect in cancer treatment. However, its toxicity and the possible mechanism of actions are still not clear. In this study, we investigated the toxic effects of amavadin on rat kidney mitochondria and the possible mechanism. We found that amavadin induced significantly permeability transition pore (PTP) opening in the mitochondria. Amavadin y inhibited the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in succinate buffer, and at high concentration of 200 gM it increased the ROS generation in malate buffer. With the addition of rotenone, the ROS generation in malate buffer was strongly enhanced than that induced by amavadin alone, but remained unchanged in succinate buffer. Results from the present study suggest that amavadin act upon electron transport chain downstream of rotenone, and the ubiquinone binding site in complex I is the most possible binding site.展开更多

The magnetic coupling constant for the model complex is 70.97 cm?1, comparable with the experimentally measured J value (77 cm?1). The calculated results show that the magnetic coupling interaction firstly slightly increases with the changes of the coordination environment around the terminal Cu atoms from a distorted square pyramid to a trigonal bi-pyramid, and decreases subsequently. In the course of changes, the sign of J value shifts from positive to negative. The magnetic coupling interac- tion is sensitive to coordination environment of the terminal Cu. The calculated results also reveal that the ferromagnetic coupling arises from the counter- complementarity of the hydroxo and formato bridges. Molecular orbital analysis validates the conclusion.展开更多
