The two most common snow and ice removal methods are mechanical clearance and chemical melting, and the advantages and disadvantages of each approach are discussed here, including environmental and structural damage caused by corrosive snow melting agents. New developments in chemical melting agents and mechanical equipment are discussed, and an overview of alternative thermal melting systems is presented, including the use of geothermy and non-geothermal heating systems utilizing solar energy, electricity, conductive pavement materials, and infrared/microwave applications. Strategic recommendations are made for continued enhancement of public safety in snow and ice conditions.展开更多

METHODS: Peripheral blood samples were collected from 56 UC patients (34 males and 22 females, aged 43.5 years, range 21-66 years), including 36 at active stage and 20 at remission stage, and 25 sex-and age-matched controls. The level of aβ2GP Ⅰ was measured by ELISA. The platelet activation markers, platelet activation complex- Ⅰ (PAC- Ⅰ ) and P-selectin (CD62P) were detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS: The A value for IgG aβ2GP Ⅰ in the active UC group was 0.61 ± 0.13, significantly higher than that in the remittent UC and control groups (0.50 ± 0.13 and 0.22 ± 0.14, P 〈 0.01). There was a significant difference between the two groups (P 〈 0.01). The A value for IgM aβ2GP Ⅰ in the active and remittent UC groups was 0.43 ± 0.13 and 0.38 ± 0.12, significantly higher than that in the control group (0.20 ± 0.12, P 〈 0.01). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups (P 〉 0.05). The PAC- Ⅰ positive rate for the active and remittent UC groups was 30.6% ± 7.6% and 19.6% ± 7.8% respectively, significantly higher than that for the control group (6.3% ± 1.7%,P 〈 0.01). There was a significant difference between the two groups (P 〈 0.01). The CD62P positive rate for the active and remittent UC groups was 45.0% ± 8.8% and 31.9% ± 7.8% respectively, significantly higher than that for the control group (9.2% ± 2.7%, P 〈 0.01). There was a significant difference between the two groups (P 〈 0.01). In the active UC group, the more severe the state of illness was, the higher the A value for IgG aβ2GP Ⅰ was, and the positive rate for PAC-Ⅰ and CD62P was positively correlated with the state of illness (Faβ2GP Ⅰ = 3.679, P 〈 0.05; FPAC-Ⅰ (%) = 5.346, P 〈 0.01; and FCD62P (%) = 5. 418, P 〈 0.01). Meanwhile, in the same state of illness, the A value for IgG aβ2GP Ⅰ was positively correlated to the positive rates for PAC-Ⅰ and CD62P. CONCLUSION: aβ2GP Ⅰ level, platelet activation state and their relationship of them are closely correlated with the pathogenesis and development of UC.展开更多
