Effect of trace yttrium on the microstructure,mechanical property and corrosion behavior of homogenized Mg-2Zn-0.1Mn-0.3Ca-xY biological magnesium alloy

The effects of trace yttrium(Y)element on the microstructure,mechanical properties,and corrosion resistance of Mg-2Zn-0.1Mn-0.3Ca-xY(x=0,0.1,0.2,0.3)biological magnesium alloys are investigated.Results show that grain size decreases from 310 to 144µm when Y content increases from 0wt%to 0.3wt%.At the same time,volume fraction of the second phase increases from 0.4%to 6.0%,yield strength of the alloy continues to increase,and ultimate tensile strength and elongation decrease initially and then increase.When the Y content increases to 0.3wt%,Mg_(3)Zn_(6)Y phase begins to precipitate in the alloy;thus,the alloy exhibits the most excellent mechanical property.At this time,its ultimate tensile strength,yield strength,and elongation are 119 MPa,69 MPa,and 9.1%,respectively.In addition,when the Y content is 0.3wt%,the alloy shows the best corrosion resistance in the simulated body fluid(SBF).This investigation has revealed that the improvement of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance is mainly attributed to the grain refinement and the precipitated Mg_(3)Zn_(6)Y phase.

Reagent optimization for on-line simultaneous polarographic determination of trace amounts of Cu^(2+), Cd^(2+) and Co^(2+) in the presence of anextremely large excess of Zn^(2+)

Reagents are optimized for the simultaneous determination of trace amounts of Cu^(2+), Cd^(2+) and Co^(2+) in zinc sulfate solution, which contains an extremely large excess of Zn^(2+). First, the reagents and their doses for the experiment are selected according to the characteristics of the zinc sulfate solution. Then, the reagent doses are optimized by analyzing the influence of reagent dose on the polarographic parameters(i.e. half-wave potential E_(1/2) and limiting diffusion current I_p). Finally, the optimization results are verified by simultaneously determining trace amounts of Cu^(2+), Cd^(2+) and Co^(2+) in the presence of an extremely large excess of Zn^(2+). The determination results indicate that the optimized reagents exhibit wide linearity, low detection limits, high accuracy and good precision for the simultaneous determination of trace amounts of Cu^(2+), Cd^(2+) and Co^(2+) in the presence of an extremely large excess of Zn^(2+).

BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF TWEEN－80 IN COMBINATION WITH HYPERTHERMIA ON HUMAN STOMACH CANCER CELL LINE BGC－823

Various biological indices were used to observe the effects of Tween-80 in combination with hyperthermia at different temperature (39-43℃) for different period of time (20-100 minutes) on human stomach cell line BGC-823. The results showed that Tween-80obviously reduced the activation energy of BGC-823 cells. Synergistic effect was observed if applied with heat at 39℃ with the increase in temperature and time,the inhibitory effect on the cancer cells was gradually intensified. The lethal rate of BGC-823 cells treated by heat at 41℃ in combination with Tween-80 was around 5.2 times as that treated by hyperthermia alone. The synergistic effect of heat at 41℃ for 100 min. in combination with Tween-80 was equivalent to the effect of 43℃ for 100 min.In other words, the critical temperature for BGC-823 cells was hereby reduced about 2℃. The measurement of membrane mobility, SDH activity etc.also showed that at 41℃ the synergistic effect of hyperthermia in combination with Tween-80 was the best, it exceeding the single effect of these factors in combination and showing effect of multiplication. The synergistic effect of heat at 41℃ in combination with Tween-80 was higher than that of heat at 41℃ in combination with MMC. It also demonstrated that the specific and sustained action on the inhibition of cancer cells did exist. These studies suggested that the synergistic mechanism of Tween-80 and hyperthermia probably was that both of them acted on the cell membrane system.

<i>In-Vitro</i>Determination of Biological and Anabolic Functions of Weak Androgen Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) Using a Variety of Cell Lines

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a weak androgen and is shown to have anti-cancer, anti-atherogenic, anti-adipogenic and anti-inflammatory effects on mouse, rat and rabbit models. However, human clinical trials data did not support animal findings and were inconclusive. These systemic differences in biological actions between rodents and humans were attributed to the low level of DHEA in rodents. In order to further understand the differences in biological functions between rodents and humans, we resorted to an in-vitroapproach involving mouse, rat and human cell lines to assess DHEA biological and anabolic functions separately and independently without systemic influence. Results indicated that DHEA was effective on mouse and rat cell lines but not on human cell lines, as observed in in-vivo studies. In addition, our in-vitrostudy showed that DHEA was able to induce myogenesis in mouse mesenchymal cells revealing its anabolic function, even though DHEA was considered as a weak androgen. This observation lent credence to the ban on DHEA by IOC medical commission, citing DHEA as an anabolic steroid. These in-vitro experiments suggested that the differences in biological actions of DHEA between rodents and humans existed not only in-vivo at the systemic level, but also in-vitro at the cellular level and thus paving the way to study the mechanism responsible for these differences at the cellular level itself.

ESTABLISHMENT OF A MAMMARY CANCER CELL LINE Ca 761-86 AND ITS BIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN INBRED 615 MICE

A cell line designated as Ca 761-86 has been established from the solid mouse mammary cancer (Ca 761) by suspension culture. It has been passaged for more than 212 generations. Moderate round cells were predominant and most of them were mononuclear. Some characteristics of malignant cells and A-type viral-like particles were observed by electron microscopy. The results of cytochemical studies (DNA, RNA, SDH, 5' AMPase, ACP etc.) were comparable to the ultramicroscopic results. It multiplied approximately 27.4 fold on day 5 with mitotic index reaching 1.8% on day 3. This cell line was a hyperdiploid with karyotype of 45 or 45, -2X, tril2, tri17, +M1-5. Cell agglutination was observed when treated with ConA (≥7 fig, ml). Spontaneous agglutination might also take place without adding any ConA. After 5×106 cells of Ca 761-86 suspension were transplanted into the normal inbred 615 mice by different ways (subcutan eous, intrafoot-pad or intraperitoneal), the transplan lability rate reached 100%. Spontaneous remission was never observed and its metastatic ability reserved. PPLO were not detected. Ca 761-86 may be of value for practical purposes.

基于周期性枝节加载的微带线串扰抑制研究

针对当前印刷电路板上相邻微带线之间的串扰抑制问题,提出了一种在超宽带频率范围内利用周期性耦合枝节来抑制微带线远端串扰的电磁兼容设计。在串扰的形成原因分析基础上,该设计将沿传统微带线纵向方向加载的周期性开路枝节进一步与相邻两条微带线之间周期性加载的工字型耦合枝节相结合。微带线上的开路枝节以及线间的耦合枝节主要用于增加微带线等效自感和线间等效互容,并减小线间等效互感,由此显著降低远端串扰强度。同时,线间等效互感的减小能抑制因容性耦合增大而导致的近端串扰上升。全波结果表明,该设计在1~20 GHz范围内可使相邻微带线的远端串扰强度小于-48 dB,且物理结构中不涉及金属化通孔,具有几何结构简单、成本低和可布线空间大等特点。

10 kV线路下方森林火灾成因分析及试验研究

近年来,国内外因树线故障导致森林火灾的事故频发,因外在社会因素引发森林火灾,从而导致输配电线路跳闸的事故也层出不穷。本文针对10 kV配电线路下方森林火灾事故,从社会因素引发森林火灾和树线故障引发森林火灾两个角度出发,考虑了纯火焰、树线放电及放电后引发火灾等多种极端环境对导线表面痕迹的影响,通过配电网故障模拟真型试验平台,对极端环境下导线表面形貌变化进行试验研究,得到了火烧痕迹、树线放电一次痕迹以及二次痕迹。基于宏观法、显微法和图像特征提取法分析了各类痕迹的特征,并找到了鉴别树线放电一次痕迹的方法。研究结果表明:放电痕迹一方面是树线电弧直接侵蚀导线,另一方面是电弧间接转移炭渣至导线表面形成炭黑痕迹;树线故障初期未引发森林火灾时,导线表面仅有一次放电痕迹,相同条件下,松树放电使导线质量变化最明显,可增重0.59 g;树线故障末期引发森林火灾后,火烧痕迹会覆盖放电痕迹形成二次痕迹,擦拭表面痕迹后发现,一、二次痕迹灰度曲面相似且分形维数之差小于0.03。
