Mice in the latter three groups were exposed to moxa smoke in a dynamic gas exposure cabinet for 20 min per day for7 days. Mice in control group were placed in the same cabinet without any intervention. For the sleep experiments, another 50 mice were divided into five groups of 10 mice each: a saline-injected control group, L1 + pentobarbital sodium(PS)-injected group, M1+PS group, H1(15%)+PS group,and a positive control group(10 mg/kg, chlorpromazine, p.o.). The weight, general activities, locomotor activities, rotarod performance, sleep duration,and sleeping rate induced by a subthreshold dose of pentobarbital sodium were recorded in the mice,and the composition of moxa smoke was analyzed using headspace gas chromatography(GC-HS).RESULTS: A low concentration of smoke significantly decreased the frequency of locomotor activities and the time for which the mice remaining on the rotarod; however, a high smoke concentration significantly prolonged the pentobarbital-induced sleeping time and sleeping rate.CONCLUSION: The concentration-dependent relaxing effects of moxa smoke on the Central Nervous System(CNS) were confirmed. Moreover, GC-HS analysis showed that the component present in the highest concentration in moxa smoke was eucalyp-tol, an essential oil well recognized for its soothing effects on the CNS. This may therefore be accountable for the sedative effects of moxa smoke.展开更多

Fourteen alkaloids in mother roots, fibrous roots, stems, and leaves of Aconitum carmichaelii Debx. were measured by HPLC-MS/MS. And multivariate analysis methods, such as clustering analysis and principal component analysis, were applied to analyze the difference among various parts. In addition, the acute toxicity, analgesia, and anti-inflammatory tests were carried out. The results suggested that the contents of alkaloids in mother roots and fibrous roots were approximate, but those of leaves and stems were different from mother roots and fibrous roots. The results of the acute toxicity testing demonstrated the toxicity of fibrous root was strongest, and mother roots were slightly less toxic than fibrous roots. The stems and leaves were far less toxic than mother and fibrous roots. In addition, the analgesia and inflammatory tests showed the effects of the various tissues had no difference each other. These results provided a basis for developing new complementary and alternative treatments for rheumatoid arthritis patients. Simultaneously, the approach may also turn wastes into treasure and promote the development of circular economy.展开更多

Numerical solution of gas-particle two-phase flow was put forward based on collocated grid SIMPLE algorithm. Moreover, numerical simulation of dust concentration in fully mechanized caving face was carded out by using Fluent software. Finally, when in forced-exhaust ventilation circumstance, drawer type fan drum have less dust absorption, and most of dust spread to the other site; the dust concentration is inversely proportional to the distance from tunneling head, and the dust concentration has already diffused to decrease below 102 mg/m3 at the position ofx=12 m. Dust are more focused on relative side（in the range about y from 0 to 2 meter） of roadway space of press-ventilated fan drum, especially between tunneling place and drawer type fan drum; the roadway with road header have a higher dust concentration. These conclusions provide reliable theory basis for the dust prevention in comprehensive mechanized heading face.展开更多

文摘The effective detection of trace methyl mercaptan(CH_(3)SH)with low power consumption is crucial for assessing air quality and facilitating non-invasive diagnosis of diseases such as periodontitis.Herein,we synthesized a ternary CeO_(2)-ZnO-Ag nanocomposite by a simple sol-gel one-step method,which shows the capability of monitoring ppb-level CH_(3)SH under room temperature.The incorporation of Ag significantly reduces the particle size and increases the ratio of Ce^(3+)as well as oxygen vacancy.Furthermore,Ag nanoparticles improve light utilization efficiency in CeO_(2)-ZnO composites in favor of the separation of photo-generated charge carriers.The sensor based on the nanocomposites with 2 mol%Ag exhibits an exceptional response of 1.21 towards 50 ppb CH3SH at room temperature under photoassisted excitation(395 nm).Moreover,it shows a stable detection even in an environment with 57.6% humidity and high selectivity towards CH_(3)SH gas.The gas sensing mechanism study indicates that the enhancement in perfo rmance is prima rily attributed to an increased number of oxygen vacancies and the spillover effect of Ag,ultimately leading to an augmented reaction rate of CH_(3)SH on the surface of the sensing material.This work demonstrates that the optimized CeO_(2)-ZnO-Ag nanocomposites hold great promise for highly selective and sensitive detection of trace CH_(3)SH gas under specific humidity conditions.

文摘Objective Patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)infection frequently develop central nervous system damage,yet the mechanisms driving this pathology remain unclear.This study investigated the primary pathways and key factors underlying brain tissue damage induced by the SARS-CoV-2 beta variant(lineage B.1.351).Methods K18-hACE2 and C57BL/6 mice were intranasally infected with the SARS-CoV-2 beta variant.Viral replication,pathological phenotypes,and brain transcriptomes were analyzed.Gene Ontology(GO)analysis was performed to identify altered pathways.Expression changes of host genes were verified using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot.Results Pathological alterations were observed in the lungs of both mouse strains.However,only K18-hACE2 mice exhibited elevated viral RNA loads and infectious titers in the brain at 3 days post-infection,accompanied by neuropathological injury and weight loss.GO analysis of infected K18-hACE2 brain tissue revealed significant dysregulation of genes associated with innate immunity and antiviral defense responses,including type I interferons,pro-inflammatory cytokines,Toll-like receptor signaling components,and interferon-stimulated genes.Neuroinflammation was evident,alongside activation of apoptotic and pyroptotic pathways.Furthermore,altered neural cell marker expression suggested viral-induced neuroglial activation,resulting in caspase 4 and lipocalin 2 release and disruption of neuronal molecular networks.Conclusion These findings elucidate mechanisms of neuropathogenicity associated with the SARS-CoV-2 beta variant and highlight therapeutic targets to mitigate COVID-19-related neurological dysfunction.

文摘This paper investigates the active traveling wave vibration control of an elastic supported rotating porous aluminium conical shell(CS)under impact loading.Piezoelectric smart materials in the form of micro fiber composites(MFCs)are used as actuators and sensors.To this end,a metal pore truncated CS with MFCs attached to its surface is considered.Adding artificial virtual springs at two edges of the truncated CS achieves various elastic supported boundaries by changing the spring stiffness.Based on the first-order shear deformation theory(FSDT),minimum energy principle,and artificial virtual spring technology,the theoretical formulations considering the electromechanical coupling are derived.The comparison of the natural frequency of the present results with the natural frequencies reported in previous literature evaluates the accuracy of the present approach.To study the vibration control,the integral quadrature method in conjunction with the differential quadrature approximation in the length direction is used to discretize the partial differential dynamical system to form a set of ordinary differential equations.With the aid of the velocity negative feedback method,both the time history and the input control voltage on the actuator are demonstrated to present the effects of velocity feedback gain,pore distribution type,semi-vertex angle,impact loading,and rotational angular velocity on the traveling wave vibration control.
文摘为研究电子束退火对Li-N共掺杂Zn O薄膜性能的影响,首先利用溶胶-凝胶旋涂法在p型Si(111)衬底上制备Li-N共掺杂的Zn O前驱膜,然后用电子束对前驱膜进行退火。退火时,电子束加速电压10 k V,退火时间5 min,聚焦束流123 m A,束流为0.7~1.9 m A,最后得到Li-N共掺杂的Zn O薄膜。XRD谱分析表明,当束流高于1.5 m A之后,薄膜为六方Zn O和立方Zn O的混合多晶薄膜,且有金属Zn生成,导致薄膜有较强的绿光发射。SEM图片分析显示,薄膜的晶粒尺寸随束流增加而增大,当束流高于1.5 m A后,晶粒尺寸变化不大,约为60 nm。光致发光(PL)谱和激光拉曼谱的分析结果证实Li、N元素已掺入Zn O晶格中,PL谱中观察到Li元素掺杂引起的紫光发射,拉曼散射光谱中观察到N替代O位的缺陷振动模式。

文摘According to folk usage of Aconitum carmichaelii Debx., the present study was designed to determine the feasibility of the stems and leaves of Aconitum carmichaelii Debx. as a new medicinal resource. Fourteen alkaloids in mother roots, fibrous roots, stems, and leaves of Aconitum carmichaelii Debx. were measured by HPLC-MS/MS. And multivariate analysis methods, such as clustering analysis and principal component analysis, were applied to analyze the difference among various parts. In addition, the acute toxicity, analgesia, and anti-inflammatory tests were carried out. The results suggested that the contents of alkaloids in mother roots and fibrous roots were approximate, but those of leaves and stems were different from mother roots and fibrous roots. The results of the acute toxicity testing demonstrated the toxicity of fibrous root was strongest, and mother roots were slightly less toxic than fibrous roots. The stems and leaves were far less toxic than mother and fibrous roots. In addition, the analgesia and inflammatory tests showed the effects of the various tissues had no difference each other. These results provided a basis for developing new complementary and alternative treatments for rheumatoid arthritis patients. Simultaneously, the approach may also turn wastes into treasure and promote the development of circular economy.

文摘According to the characteristics of comprehensive mechanized heading face, established the mathematical model of single-phase air flow with κ-ε two equations model, and have established κ-ε-θ-κp mathematic model to solve two-phase flow of gas and particles in dust space with eulerian-eulerian method and eulerian-lagrangian method. Numerical solution of gas-particle two-phase flow was put forward based on collocated grid SIMPLE algorithm. Moreover, numerical simulation of dust concentration in fully mechanized caving face was carded out by using Fluent software. Finally, when in forced-exhaust ventilation circumstance, drawer type fan drum have less dust absorption, and most of dust spread to the other site; the dust concentration is inversely proportional to the distance from tunneling head, and the dust concentration has already diffused to decrease below 102 mg/m3 at the position ofx=12 m. Dust are more focused on relative side（in the range about y from 0 to 2 meter） of roadway space of press-ventilated fan drum, especially between tunneling place and drawer type fan drum; the roadway with road header have a higher dust concentration. These conclusions provide reliable theory basis for the dust prevention in comprehensive mechanized heading face.
