Organic silicon epoxy resin and phenolic aldehyde resin are applied as film forming matters to get a series of ablative coating having a density of 0.4-0.6 g/cm^3. The performance of the low density ablative coating is evaluated by mechanical, thermodynamic and oxygen acetylene ablation tests, and the results are as follows, adhesion is in the range of 2.97-4.63 MPa, conductivity is no more than 0.1 kcal/(m·h·℃ ), line ablation rate is no more than 0.30 mm/s, mass ablation rate is in the range of 0.11-0.18 mm/s.展开更多

Under low light density, the minimalfluorescence (Fo), alterable fluorescence (Fv), photochemical efficiency of PSⅡ(Fv/Fm), steadyfluorescence in light (Fs), maximal fluorescence (Fm) and actual efficiency of PSⅡ(φPSⅡ)etcincreased, indicating that the photochemical activity and efficiency for solar energy transformationenhanced, thus the light proportion used to electron transport also increased.

Plasma levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are positively correlated with the risk of atherosclerosis. High plasma LDL concentrations in patients with hypercholesterolemia lead to build-up of LDL in the inner walls of the arteries, which becomes oxidized and promotes the formation of foam cells, consequently initiating atherosclerosis. Plasma LDL is mainly cleared through the LDL receptor (LDLR) pathway. Mutations in the LDLR cause familiar hyperch- olesterolemia and increase the risk of premature coronary heart disease. The expression of LDLR is regulated at the transcriptional level via the sterol regulatory element binding protein 2 (SREBP-2) and at the posttranslational levels mainly through proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin-type 9 (PCSK9) and inducible degrader of the LDLR (IDOL). In this review, we summarize the latest advances in the studies of PCSK9.展开更多
