Chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction (CIPO) resulting from intestinal smooth muscle damage has presented in conjunction with ureterohydronephrosis and, more rarely, biliary dilatation (megacholedochus). While the molecular pathogenesis is largely unknown, observed histopathologic features include widespread myositis, myocyte necrosis in the intestinal muscularis propria with subsequent atrophy and fibrosis, preserved myenteric innervations and little vasculitis. High dose immunosuppression usually results in resolution of symptoms with recovery of smooth muscle function, indicative of an autoimmune etiology. We report a patient with SLE who presented with intestinal pseudo-obstruction, ureterohydronephrosis and megacholedochus, and present images that illustrate megaviscera simultaneously involving all 3 visceral organs. Since the co-manifestation of all 3 is unusual and has been reported only once previously, we have termed this rare clinical syndrome generalized megaviscera of lupus (GML). Although the SLE disease-activity parameters responded to aggressive immunomodulative therapy in our patient, clinical evidence of peristaltic dysfunction persisted in all involved viscera. This is a variation from the favorable outcomes reported previously in SLE patients with GML and we attribute this poor clinical outcome to disease severity and, most importantly, delayed clinical presentation. Since inflammation followed by atrophy and fibrosis are key aspects in the pathogenesis and natural history of GML, the poor response in our patient who presented late in the clinical course may be the result of 'burnt out' inflammation with irreversible end-stage fibrosis. Thus, early recognition and timely initiation of treatment may be the key to recover visceral peristaltic function in patients with GML.展开更多

The three forms of clay used for preparation of composites were unmodified montmorillonite, mono-ionic montmorillonite and organically modified montmorillonite. Montmorillonite clay was converted to mono-ionic clay by ion exchange with sodium using a sodium chloride solution. The mono-ionic clay was organically modified with an organic surfactant, methyl triphenyl phosphonium bromide. Nanocomposites were then prepared by combining the modified and raw forms of the clay with sawdust. The solution blending method was used to make the nanocomposites. The samples were analysed using thermogravimetric analysis and cone calorimetry. The studies showed that the nanocomposite which was made from sawdust and 1% organically modified clay had the most improved results in terms of burning time and thermal stability, as well as giving a calorific value closest to unmodified sawdust and the least amount of residue.展开更多

The mass matrix of the beam dement was obtained in light of the mass distribution characteristics of composite materials. The stiffness matrix of the beam element was derived from the constitutive equations of each layer and the relationship between the strain distribution and the node displacement of the beam element. The specific damping capacity of the beam element was analyzed according to the strain distribution of the beam element and the strain energy dissipation caused by vibration in each direction of each layer; and the damping coefficients were obtained according to the principle that the total energy dissipation of the beam element was equal to the work done by the equivalent damping force during a cycle of vibration, from which the damping matrix of the dynamic equations was obtained. Using the finite element method, the dynamic analytic model of the mechanism was obtained. The dynamic responses and natural frequency of the mechanism were obtained by simulation, respectively, and those of the simulation obtained by the proposed model were analyzed and compared with the results obtained by the conventional model. The work provides theoretical basis to a certain extent for the further research on nonlinear vibration characteristics and optimum design of this kind of mechanism.展开更多

The samples were characterized by thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and charge/discharge measurements. With increasing the graphite content, the reversible capacity of the Co3O4/graphite composites decreases, while cycling stability improves dramatically, and the addition of graphite obviously decreases the average potential of lithium intercalation/deintercalation. The reversible capacity of the composites with 50% graphite rises from 583 to 725 mA-h/g as the calcination temperature increases from 300 to 500 ℃, and the Co304/graphite composites synthesized at 400 ℃ show the best cycling stability without capacity loss in the initial 20 cycles. peaks, corresponding to the lithium intercalaction/deintercalation for The CV profile of the composite presents two couples of redox graphite and Co3O4, respectively.

The thermoset resins are proven construction materials for the technical and highly demanding applications of the transportation, electrical and building part industry. Heat stability, high thermal, low shrinkage, excellent mechanical properties are typical for their type of polymers. Above applications in addition to the mechanical properties also require good flame retardants of the materials. Undertaken activities refer to official draft, laws and legal recommendations in UE states. This paper presents positive effect of reduced flammability of thermoset resins (unsaturated polyester and epoxy resins) thanks to the use of nanocomposites containing multi-ingredient halogen-flee flame retardants which combine conventional phosphorus/nitrogen modifiers interacting with nanofillers (oMMT (organomodified montmorillonite), EG (expandable graphite), graphene, GO (graphene oxide), nSi (nanosilica)).展开更多

The influence of DOPO-1CN on the mechanical and flammability properties ofjute/PLA composites was studied. Compared to DOPO, DOPO-ICN improved the tensile, flexural and impact strength of the flame retardant jute/PLA composites. Moreover, the flammability ofjute/PLA composites with different DOPO and DOPO-MA loading was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), UL 94 test and limiting oxygen index (LOI) measurements. The results showed that DOPO-ICN imparted the flame retardancy to the jute/PLA composites.展开更多

The structure and morphology of the composite materials were characterized by XRD and SEM, respectively. The electrochemical properties of the composite electrodes were studied by the galvanostatic charge, dis- charge test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results showed that the Co-S/20 wt.% AB5 composite electrode showed the highest discharge capacity and the best cycling stability. The existence of the AB5 alloy improved the electro- chemical activity of composite electrodes, reduced the electrochemical polarization resistances and promoted the electrochem- ical conversion reaction between Co and Co(OH)2. In order to improve the utilization rate of active materials, 0.0! mol/L Na2S203 was added into the electrolyte. The electrochemical properties of the composite electrode were significantly enhanced. After fifty cycles, the discharge capacity of the composite electrode increased from 407 to 481.7 mAh/g and the capacity reten- tion increased from 79.7% to 91.2%.展开更多

The factors impacting on the characteristics of blended materials are studied using constant current charge/discharge measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results show that the three pairs of blended materials exhibit very different synergetic effects in high C-rate discharging. The mechanism of particle synergetic effect has a physical root on the compensating material property of blending components, which fundamentally correlates with their similarity and difference in crystalline and electronic structures. The AC impedance show the obvious changes that alternate the high C-rate performance, due to reduced particle impedance in blended materials. The pairs of LiNi_(1/3)Co_(1/3)Mn_(1/3)O_2-LiMn_2O and LiCoO_2-LiMn_2O_4 present obvious increases in high C-rate reversible capacities than does the pair LiCoO_2-LiNi_(1/3)Co_(1/3)Mn_(1/3)O_2.展开更多

Co-doping with heteroatoms has been confirmed to be an effective strategy to significantly promote the electrical conductivity of carbon. Moreover, there is no simple and green method to construct sensitive HTC based electro- chemical biosensors until now. In this paper, N and S dual-doped carbon (NS-C) with ultra-low charge transfer resistance is easily synthesized from L-cysteine and glucose in a hydrothermal reaction system. The morphology, structural prop- erties and electrochemical properties of the as-prepared NS-C are analyzed. In comparison with the undoped hydrothermal (UC) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE), the charge transfer resistance of UC (476 Ω) is ten times the value of NS- C (46 Ω). The developed biosensor shows a better performance to detect glucose in a wide concentration range (50-2500 μmol L^-1) with the detection limit of 1.77 μmol L^-1 (S/N-3) and a high sensitivity (0.0554 μA cm^-2μmol^-1 L). The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant value of GCE/NS-C/GOx/nafion modified electrode is 0.769 mmol L^-1, indicating a high affinity of glucose oxidase to glucose. These results demonstrate that the hydrothermal method is an effective way for prepar- ing high electrical conductivity carbon with excellent performances in biosensor application.展开更多

文摘Hydrothermal carbon (HTC) is typically well- dispersed, but it remains a great challenge for HTC to become conductive. Co-doping with heteroatoms has been confirmed to be an effective strategy to significantly promote the electrical conductivity of carbon. Moreover, there is no simple and green method to construct sensitive HTC based electro- chemical biosensors until now. In this paper, N and S dual-doped carbon (NS-C) with ultra-low charge transfer resistance is easily synthesized from L-cysteine and glucose in a hydrothermal reaction system. The morphology, structural prop- erties and electrochemical properties of the as-prepared NS-C are analyzed. In comparison with the undoped hydrothermal (UC) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE), the charge transfer resistance of UC (476 Ω) is ten times the value of NS- C (46 Ω). The developed biosensor shows a better performance to detect glucose in a wide concentration range (50-2500 μmol L^-1) with the detection limit of 1.77 μmol L^-1 (S/N-3) and a high sensitivity (0.0554 μA cm^-2μmol^-1 L). The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant value of GCE/NS-C/GOx/nafion modified electrode is 0.769 mmol L^-1, indicating a high affinity of glucose oxidase to glucose. These results demonstrate that the hydrothermal method is an effective way for prepar- ing high electrical conductivity carbon with excellent performances in biosensor application.
