With the control logic analysis of the rotary valve mud telemetry, a logical control signal is built from a Gate function sequence according to the binary symbols of transmitted data and a phase-shift function is obtained by integrating the logical control signal. A mathematical model of the DPSK pressure signal is built based on principles of communications by modulating carrier phase with the phase-shift function and a numerical simulation of the pressure wave is implemented with the mathematical model by MATLAB programming. Considering drillpipe pressure and drilling fluid temperature profile along drillpipes, the drillpipe of a vertical well is divided into a number of sections. With water-based drilling fluids, the impacts of travel distance, carrier frequency, drillpipe size, and drilling fluids on the signal transmission were studied by signal transmission characteristic analysis for all the sections. Numerical calculation results indicate that the influences of the viscosity of drilling fluids and volume fraction of gas in drilling fluids on the DPSK signal transmission are more notable than the others and the signal will distort in waveform with differential attenuations of the signal frequent component.展开更多

Formulae are verified by comparing the predicted strains with the measured strains of three MFC specimens,which are driven by a random sequence of staircase voltage inputs. The coefficients obtained by the formulae and experimentation coincide. Further results indicate that the equivalent piezoelectric strain coefficient depends greatly on the value of drive voltage across the entire input range, and the coefficient is asymmetric across the negative and positive input ranges. Deflection testing of an MFC composite cantilever demonstrates the importance of taking the nonlinearity of the equivalent piezoelectric coefficient into consideration in the application of actuation.展开更多

This study was conducted to investigate the association between ideal CVH and subclinical atherosclerosis in a population cohort of Chinese adults aged ≥ 40 years. Methods This study was designed as a cross-sectional analysis of 8,395 participants who had complete data at baseline and a prospective analysis of 4,879 participants who had complete data at 4.3 years of follow-up. Ideal CVH metrics were defined according to the American Heart Association. Subclinical atherosclerosis was evaluated by plaques in carotid arteries, carotid intima-media thickness(CIMT), brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity(baPWV), and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio(UACR). Results Both the prevalence and incidence of atherosclerosis measures were found to be decreased with increasing numbers of ideal CVH metrics at baseline(all P values for trend < 0.01). The levels of CIMT and UACR at follow-up showed an inverse and significant association with the numbers of ideal CVH metrics at baseline(both P values for trend < 0.05) but a borderline significant association with baPWV(P for trend = 0.0505). Taking participants with 0-1 ideal metric as reference, we found that participants with 5-6 ideal metrics had significantly lower risks of developing carotid plaques(odds ratio, OR = 0.46; 95% confidence interval, CI 0.27-0.79), increased CIMT(OR = 0.60; 95% CI 0.42-0.84), and increased baPWV(OR = 0.57; 95% CI 0.34-0.97) after full adjustments. A significant interactive effect of age and CVH was detected on CIMT and baPWV progression(both P values for interaction < 0.05). Conclusion The numbers of ideal CVH metrics showed a significant and inverse association with the risk of developing subclinical atherosclerosis in middle-aged and elderly Chinese adults, whereas its dose-response effect was attenuated in individuals aged ≥ 60 years and partially weakened in male participants.展开更多

However, few studies have focused on white matter lesions caused by cerebral ischemia. The present study was aimed to investigate the effects of cornel iridoid glycoside(CIG), a main active component extracted from Cornus officinalis, on the white matter injury induced by ischemic stroke. CIG(60 and 120 mg·kg-1) were administered intragastrically 6 h after middle cerebral artery occlusion reperfusion(MCAO) surgery once a day for 7 d. A series of behavioral tests were carried out to evaluate the neurological function of MCAO rats. White matter structure was detected by luxol fast blue staining and transmission electron microscopy. Immunohistochemical staining was used to assess myelin loss, oligodendrocytes maturation and glial activation. Results showed that CIG remarkably decreased neurological deficit score, accelerated the recovery of somatosensory and motor functions, and ameliorated the memory deficit in MCAO rats. CIG alleviated white matter lesions and demyelination, increased myelin basic protein expression and the number of mature oligodendrocytes in the corpus callosum of MCAO rats. Besides, CIG inhibited the activation of microglia and astrocytes. Further data obtained by western blot analysis indicated that CIG increased the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)/p-Trk B, neuregulin-1/Erb B, and PI3 K p110α/p-Akt/p-m TOR in the corpus callosum of MCAO rats. Our findings demonstrated that CIG protected against white matter lesions induced by cerebral ischemia and the mechanisms were partially contributed to increasing BDNF and activating neuregulin-1/Erb B signaling and its downstream PI3 K/Akt/m TOR pathway in white matter.展开更多

All samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, UV diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Results showed that the residual carbon content was influenced by heat treatment temperature and the amount of PVA. The degradation of methylene blue by Carbon-coated tourmaline was also studied. The experiments pointed out that the carbon coated effects are best when the heating temperature was 900℃ and the weight content of PVA was 70%. And the tourmaline prepared under 900℃ in the oxidation atmosphere has the best degrade efficiency. The results also proved that the infrared radiation of tourmaline is not effect in the degrade progress.展开更多

文摘Diabetic nephropathy(DN)is one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus,which is characterized in renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis(TIF).The current study was designed to investigate the protective effect of Jujuboside A(Ju A)on TIF in type 2 diabetes(T2DM)mice,and explore its underlying anti-fibrosis mechanism.A mouse T2DM model was established using high fat diet(HFD)feeding combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ).Then,diabetic mice were treated with Ju A(10,20 and 40 mg·kg^(−1)·d^(−1),i.g.)for 12 weeks.Results showed that administration of Ju A not only down-regulated fasting blood glucose(FBG)levels,but also improved hyperlipidemia and renal function in diabetic mice.Moreover,the reduced ECM accumulation was observed in the renal cortex of Ju A treated diabetic mice,while the TIF progression was also attenuated by Ju A through blocking the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition(EMT)of renal tubular epithelial cells(RTECs).Further mechanism studies showed that Ju A treatment effectively down-regulated the protein expression and subsequent nuclear translocation of Yin Yang 1(YY1)in the renal cortex of diabetic mice,and reduced the levels of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)in the serum and renal cortex of Ju A treated mice.According to in vitro studies,the up-regulated YY1/TGF-β1 signaling pathway was restored by Ju A in high glucose(HG)cultured HK-2 cells.Taken together,these findings demonstrated that Ju A can ameliorate the TIF of DN through down-regulating the YY1/TGF-β1 signaling pathway.

文摘Objective Ideal cardiovascular health(CVH) could predict a lower risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. This study was conducted to investigate the association between ideal CVH and subclinical atherosclerosis in a population cohort of Chinese adults aged ≥ 40 years. Methods This study was designed as a cross-sectional analysis of 8,395 participants who had complete data at baseline and a prospective analysis of 4,879 participants who had complete data at 4.3 years of follow-up. Ideal CVH metrics were defined according to the American Heart Association. Subclinical atherosclerosis was evaluated by plaques in carotid arteries, carotid intima-media thickness(CIMT), brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity(baPWV), and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio(UACR). Results Both the prevalence and incidence of atherosclerosis measures were found to be decreased with increasing numbers of ideal CVH metrics at baseline(all P values for trend < 0.01). The levels of CIMT and UACR at follow-up showed an inverse and significant association with the numbers of ideal CVH metrics at baseline(both P values for trend < 0.05) but a borderline significant association with baPWV(P for trend = 0.0505).

Conclusion The numbers of ideal CVH metrics showed a significant and inverse association with the risk of developing subclinical atherosclerosis in middle-aged and elderly Chinese adults, whereas its dose-response effect was attenuated in individuals aged ≥ 60 years and partially weakened in male participants.

文摘Ischemic stroke often elicits profound white matter lesions, which results in poor neurological outcomes and impairing the recovery in post-stroke. However, few studies have focused on white matter lesions caused by cerebral ischemia. The present study was aimed to investigate the effects of cornel iridoid glycoside(CIG), a main active component extracted from Cornus officinalis, on the white matter injury induced by ischemic stroke. CIG(60 and 120 mg·kg-1) were administered intragastrically 6 h after middle cerebral artery occlusion reperfusion(MCAO) surgery once a day for 7 d. A series of behavioral tests were carried out to evaluate the neurological function of MCAO rats. White matter structure was detected by luxol fast blue staining and transmission electron microscopy. Immunohistochemical staining was used to assess myelin loss, oligodendrocytes maturation and glial activation. Results showed that CIG remarkably decreased neurological deficit score, accelerated the recovery of somatosensory and motor functions, and ameliorated the memory deficit in MCAO rats. CIG alleviated white matter lesions and demyelination, increased myelin basic protein expression and the number of mature oligodendrocytes in the corpus callosum of MCAO rats. Besides, CIG inhibited the activation of microglia and astrocytes. Further data obtained by western blot analysis indicated that CIG increased the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)/p-Trk B, neuregulin-1/Erb B, and PI3 K p110α/p-Akt/p-m TOR in the corpus callosum of MCAO rats. Our findings demonstrated that CIG protected against white matter lesions induced by cerebral ischemia and the mechanisms were partially contributed to increasing BDNF and activating neuregulin-1/Erb B signaling and its downstream PI3 K/Akt/m TOR pathway in white matter.

文摘Phosphorus(P)is an essential element for plant growth but is often limiting in ecosystems;therefore,improving the P fertilizer use efficiency is important.Biochar and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF)may enhance P cycling in paddy soils that contain high content of total P but low content of available P(AP).In this study,the effects of biochar addition and Rhizophagus irregularis inoculation on the organic and inorganic P contents and phosphatase activities in paddy soils,rice seedling growth,and AMF colonization were investigated.Compared with no biochar addition,biochar addition enhanced the percentage of spore germination at day 7,hyphal length,most probable number,and mycorrhizal colonization rate of R.irregularis by 32%,662%,70%,and 28%on average,respectively.Biochar and R.irregularis altered soil P cycling and availability.Biochar and R.irregularis,either individually or in combination,increased soil AP content by 2%–48%.Rice seedlings treated with biochar and R.irregularis produced greater biomass,improved root morphology,and increased nutrient uptake compared with those of the control without biochar and R.irregularis.The results suggest that combined application of biochar and R.irregularis is beneficial to rice cultivation in paddy soils with high content of total P but low content of AP.
文摘An attempt was made to prepare carbon coated tourmaline by mixing tourmaline powders and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), followed by heat treatment in argon atmosphere. All samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, UV diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Results showed that the residual carbon content was influenced by heat treatment temperature and the amount of PVA. The degradation of methylene blue by Carbon-coated tourmaline was also studied. The experiments pointed out that the carbon coated effects are best when the heating temperature was 900℃ and the weight content of PVA was 70%. And the tourmaline prepared under 900℃ in the oxidation atmosphere has the best degrade efficiency. The results also proved that the infrared radiation of tourmaline is not effect in the degrade progress.
文摘Accurate mapping and timely monitoring of urban redevelopment are pivotal for urban studies and decisionmakers to foster sustainable urban development.Traditional mapping methods heavily depend on field surveys and subjective questionnaires,yielding less objective,reliable,and timely data.Recent advancements in Geographic Information Systems(GIS)and remote-sensing technologies have improved the identification and mapping of urban redevelopment through quantitative analysis using satellite-based observations.Nonetheless,challenges persist,particularly concerning accuracy and significant temporal delays.This study introduces a novel approach to modeling urban redevelopment,leveraging machine learning algorithms and remote-sensing data.This methodology can facilitate the accurate and timely identification of urban redevelopment activities.The study’s machine learning model can analyze time-series remote-sensing data to identify spatio-temporal and spectral patterns related to urban redevelopment.The model is thoroughly evaluated,and the results indicate that it can accurately capture the time-series patterns of urban redevelopment.This research’s findings are useful for evaluating urban demographic and economic changes,informing policymaking and urban planning,and contributing to sustainable urban development.The model can also serve as a foundation for future research on early-stage urban redevelopment detection and evaluation of the causes and impacts of urban redevelopment.
