The threshold pressure and flow behavior of liquid metal infiltrating into the preforms were calculated and measured. The microstructure of obtained Ct4Mg composites was observed. The results indicate that the measured threshold pressure for infiltration was 0.048 MPa, which was larger than the calculated value. The infiltration rate increased with the increase of infiltration pressure, but the increase amplitude decreased gradually. The tiny pores in the composites could be eliminated by increasing the infiltration pressure. When the infiltration pressure rose to 0.6 MPa, high quality C1/Mg composite was obtained.展开更多

In order to confirm the acceptability of the one-dimensional horizontal infiltration method（one-D method） for simultaneously determining both the saturated and unsaturated permeability coefficients of loamy sand, we first measured the cumulative infiltration and the wetting front distance under various infiltration heads through a series of one-dimensional horizontal infiltration experiments, and then analyzed the relationships of the cumulative horizontal infiltration with the wetting front distance and the square root of infiltration time. We finally compared the permeability results from Gardner model based on the one-D method with the results from other two commonly-used methods（i.e., constant head method and van Genuchten model） to evaluate the acceptability and applicability of the one-D method. The results showed that there was a robust linear relationship between the cumulative horizontal infiltration and the wetting front distance, suggesting that it is more appropriate to take the soil moisture content after infiltration in the entire wetted zone as the average soil moisture content than as the saturated soil moisture content. The results also showed that there was a robust linear relationship between the cumulative horizontal infiltration and the square root of infiltration time, suggesting that the Philip infiltration formula can better reflect the characteristics of cumulative horizontal infiltration under different infiltration heads. The following two facts indicate that it is feasible to use the one-D method for simultaneously determining the saturated and unsaturated permeability coefficients of loamy sand. First, the saturated permeability coefficient（prescribed in the Gardner model） of loamy sand obtained from the one-D method well agreed with the value obtained from the constant head method. Second, the relationship of unsaturated permeability coefficient with soil water suction for loamy sand calculated using Gardner model based on the one-D method was nearly identical with the same relationship calculated using van Genuchten model.展开更多

文摘A dynamic measuring apparatus was developed to investigate the infiltration process of liquid metal into the fibrous preform. 10% （volume fraction） chopped carbon fiber preforms were infiltrated with magnesium alloy under different infiltration pressures. The threshold pressure and flow behavior of liquid metal infiltrating into the preforms were calculated and measured. The microstructure of obtained Ct4Mg composites was observed. The results indicate that the measured threshold pressure for infiltration was 0.048 MPa, which was larger than the calculated value. The infiltration rate increased with the increase of infiltration pressure, but the increase amplitude decreased gradually. The tiny pores in the composites could be eliminated by increasing the infiltration pressure. When the infiltration pressure rose to 0.6 MPa, high quality C1/Mg composite was obtained.

文摘To the Editor:Pancreatic cancer is a malignancy characterized by a poor prog-nosis,with a 5-year survival rate of<10%[1].Furthermore,only a minority of patients(<20%)qualify for curative-intent resec-tion,and even among those who undergo this procedure,the risk of recurrence within three years remains alarmingly high,reach-ing up to 70%[2].Due to the lack of specific clinical manifes-tations of pancreatic cancer,most cases have metastasized or in-vaded the major vessels around the pancreas at the time of initial diagnosis,resulting in a low surgical resection rate.Even patients who undergo surgical resection often face a poor prognosis[3].In recent years,neoadjuvant chemotherapy using agents such as gemcitabine,5-fluorouracil,albumin-bound paclitaxel,modified fluorouracil/leucovorin plus irinotecan,and oxaliplatin(mFOLFIRI-NOX),targeted therapies addressing molecular subtypes of pan-creatic cancer,and immunotherapies targeting PD-1 and PD-L1 have shown efficacy in improving the overall prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer,although the impact remains modest[4,5].Therefore,novel therapeutic strategies and prognostic evaluation systems are urgently needed to enhance the survival of patients with pancreatic cancer.
文摘BACKGROUND Shwachman-Diamond syndrome(SDS)is a rare genetic disorder that affects multiple organs,primarily the liver.Most patients are diagnosed during infancy or early childhood.As they grow older,the majority of affected children may experience spontaneous remission,and cases of cirrhosis in adults are rarely reported.CASE SUMMARY A 36-year-old male patient presented with massive ascites.Laboratory tests revealed pancytopenia and a serum-ascites albumin gradient greater than 1.1 g/dL.An abdominal computed tomography scan demonstrated cirrhosis,splenomegaly,pancreatic fat infiltration,and a substantial accumulation of peritoneal fluid.Gastroscopy identified esophageal varices.Liver stiffness measurement indicated a value of 32.7 kPa.Based on the results of auxiliary examinations,common causes of cirrhosis were excluded,and a mutation in the Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond syndrome gene was ultimately identified through whole-exome sequencing.The patient was diagnosed with cirrhosis secondary to SDS.Following the correction of hypoalbuminemia and administration of diuretics,the patient's ascites resolved.CONCLUSION Patients with liver cirrhosis who also exhibit pancreatic fat infiltration and pancytopenia necessitate further exon testing to exclude the possibility of SDS.

文摘Climate change and human activities are primary drivers of runoff variations,significantly impacting the hydrological balance of river basins.In recent decades,the Yellow River Basin,China has experienced a marked decline in runoff,posing challenges to the sustainable development of regional water resources and ecosystem stability.To enhance the understanding of runoff dynamics in the basin,we selected the Dahei River Basin,a representative tributary in the upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin as the study area.A comprehensive analysis of runoff trends and contributing factors was conducted using the data on hydrology,meteorology,and water resource development and utilization.Abrupt change years of runoff series in the Dahei River Basin was identified by the Mann-Kendall and Pettitt tests:1999 at Dianshang,Qixiaying,and Meidai hydrological stations and 1995 at Sanliang hydrological station.Through hydrological simulations based on the Variable Infiltration Capacity(VIC)model,we quantified the factors driving runoff evolution in the Dahei River Basin,with climate change contributing 9.92%–22.91%and human activities contributing 77.09%–90.08%.The Budyko hypothesis method provided similar results,with climate change contributing 13.06%–20.89%and human activities contributing 79.11%–86.94%.Both methods indicated that human activities,particularly water consumption,were dominant factors in the runoff variations of the Dahei River Basin.The integration of hydrological modeling with attribution analysis offers valuable insights into runoff evolution,facilitating adaptive strategies to mitigate water scarcity in arid and semi-arid areas.

文摘BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer(CRC)remains a major global health burden due to its high incidence and mortality,with treatment efficacy often hindered by tumor hetero-geneity,drug resistance,and a complex tumor microenvironment(TME).Lactate metabolism plays a pivotal role in reshaping the TME,promoting immune eva-sion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition,making it a promising target for novel therapeutic strategies and prognostic modeling in CRC.AIM To offer an in-depth analysis of the role of lactate metabolism in CRC,high-lighting its significance in the TME and therapeutic response.METHODS Utilizing single-cell and transcriptomic data from the Gene Expression Omnibus and The Cancer Genome Atlas,we identified key lactate metabolic activities,particularly in the monocyte/macrophage subpopulation.RESULTS Seven lactate metabolism-associated genes were significantly linked to CRC prognosis and used to construct a predictive model.This model accurately forecasts patient outcomes and reveals notable distinct patterns of immune infiltration and transcriptomic profiles mutation profiles between high-and low-risk groups.High-risk patients demonstrated elevated immune cell infiltration,increased mutation frequencies,and heightened sensitivity to specific drugs(AZD6482,tozasertib,and SB216763),providing a foundation for personalized treatment approaches.Additionally,a nomogram integrating clinical and metabolic data effectively predicted 1-,3-,and 5-year survival rates.CONCLUSION This report underscored the pivotal mechanism of lactate metabolism in CRC prognosis and suggest novel avenues for therapeutic intervention.

文摘Injection rate is crucial for determining the hydraulic fracturing effectiveness;however,the effects of the injection rate on the pore and fracture structure(PFS)and fluid infiltration during injection pressurization have rarely been explored.In this study,the cylindrical sandstone samples were hydraulically fractured at various injection rates on a self-developed integrated nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)and hydraulic fracturing experimental system.The results show that low injection rates predominantly resulted in macropore-scale damage by creating intergranular cracks,whereas high injection rates facilitated micropore-scale damage,probably owing to the adsorption swelling effect of clay minerals within pores.Additionally,the water contents of the samples with low injection rates exhibited a continuous increase,whereas those of the samples with high injection rates initially increased and subsequently stabilized.Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)indicated that fluid infiltration during the fracturing process exhibited high anisotropy owing to the inherent heterogeneous PFS distributions around the wellbore.Moreover,a primary fluid infiltration path exists that aligns with the initiation direction of the hydraulic fractures.However,the fluid infiltration damage distance along the hydraulic fracture direction decreased with increasing injection rate,whereas the fluid infiltration damage distance perpendicular to the hydraulic fracture direction was approximately equal to the characteristic length,regardless of the injection rate.Finally,we recommend using the pore damage during fluid pressurization as the basis for selecting the proppant size and employing a primary fluid infiltration path to predict hydraulic fracture initiation.These findings provide valuable insights into the design of hydraulic fracturing in tight gas reservoirs.

文摘The traditional Green-Ampt model does not accurately represent the infiltration behavior of clay soils.Infiltration in clay is influenced by low hydraulic conductivity,strong capillary forces,and a gradual transition zone between saturated and unsaturated zones.These factors often lead to overestimated infiltration rates and underestimated infiltration durations.Therefore,it is necessary to improve the model to better reflect the characteristics of clay infiltration and enhance its predictive accuracy and practical applicability.This study conducts hydraulic characterization tests,one-dimensional soil column rainfall infiltration experiments,and numerical analysis on a representative clay sampled from Wuhan,China,to investigate infiltration behaviors under varying rainfall intensities and initial moisture conditions.The study reveals that the proportion of the transition layer within the wetting layer decreases with increasing wetting front depth,following a power-law function.Under the same initial moisture content,this proportion tends to converge to a stable value regardless of rainfall intensity.In contrast,under the same rainfall intensity,a higher initial moisture content leads to a larger proportion of the transition layer at a given wetting front depth.Based on the NMR curve,the unsaturated permeability coefficients corresponding to different volumetric water contents of clay can be obtained quickly,accurately,and at low cost.By utilizing the unsaturated permeability coefficient prediction model based on the nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)curve,the study refines the computational method for the equivalent permeability coefficient in the wetting layer during clay rainfall infiltration,and proposes an improved clay Green-Ampt infiltration model that considers the saturated-unsaturated differentiation layer and the dynamic variation of its equivalent permeability coefficient under continuous rainfall conditions.The computational results of the improved model were compared with measured infiltration data,numerical simulations,and predictions from the traditional GA model.The results indicate that the improved model effectively captures the dynamic variation between the transition layer and wetting layer and provides more accurate predictions of wetting front depth in clay,with an accuracy approximately 68.36%higher than that of the traditional GA model.
文摘AIM:To investigate cuproptosis-related molecular and immune infiltration in age-related macular degeneration(AMD)development and establish a predictive model.METHODS:The expression profiles of cuproptosisrelated genes and immune signature in AMD based on the microarray dataset GSE29801 were analyzed.A total of 142 AMD samples were used to identify the cuproptosisrelated differentially expressed genes(Cu-DEGs),together with the immune cell infiltration.To further refine the list of potential genes for AMD diagnosis,three machine learning techniques were used,and an external dataset were applied for confirming the accuracy of the predictive performance.Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)were also performed to examine the level of mRNA of hub genes.The activated immune responses and Cu-DEGs were assessed between AMD and controls.RESULTS:Six genes,including ATP7A,DBT,VEGFA,UBE2D3,CP,SLC31A1,were screened as cuproptosissignature in AMD via three machine learning methods.Next,SLC31A1 and VEGFA was selected as hub genes by performance evaluation in an external dataset GSE160011,further analysis showed that SLC31A1 and VEGFA were associated with pathways related to immune signaling and immune function,which were then observed in relation to infiltrating immune cells.Finally,the mRNA expression levels of SLC31A1 and VEGFA were significantly higher in laser induced choroidal neovascularization(CNV)group than in control group detected by RT-PCR.CONCLUSION:In this study,the possible relationship between cuproptosis and AMD is expounded systematically.A predictive model is developed to assess the risk of cuproptosis-related genes and their clinical prognostic value in AMD patients.
文摘BACKGROUND To observe the endoscopic and pathological characteristics of laterally spreading tumors(LSTs)and explore the risk factors for carcinogenesis and submucosal infiltration.AIM To analyze the clinicopathological features of colorectal LSTs treated endoscopically and determine risk factors associated with carcinogenesis and submucosal invasion,providing evidence-based guidance for optimal treatment strategy selection.METHODS This study retrospectively analyzed the sex,age,and endoscopic and pathological features of patients who underwent endoscopic treatment for colorectal LSTs in our hospital from January 2021 to July 2024.Single-factor analysis was used to identify the risk factors for cancer and submucosal infiltration,and the factors with statistical significance were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis.RESULTS A total of 422 patients,including 224 males and 198 females,aged 63.45±9.23 years,were included.There were 456 LST lesions in total.The length of the endoscopically resected specimens was 3.01±0.48 cm,and the length of the lesions was 2.37±1.59 cm.It was located in 115 rectums(25.2%),40 sigmoid colon(8.8%),26 descending colon(5.7%),109 transverse colon(23.9%),112 ascending colon(24.6%),and 54 ileocecal regions(11.8%).Endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)was performed in 237 patients(52.0%),and endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR)was performed in 95 patients(20.8%).There were 113 EMR with precutting cases(24.8%),11 ESD with snare cases(2.4%),4 delayed bleeding cases and 5 intraoperative perforations.The pathological results revealed 119 cases of low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia(26.1%),221 cases of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia(48.5%),82 cases of intramucosal carcinoma(18.0%),and 34 cases of submucous invasive carcinoma(7.5%).Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that lesion size(>2 cm),lesion location(rectal)and endoscopic classification[false depressed tubulovillous adenoma(LST-NG pseudodepressed type,LST-NG-PD),type 1 particles(LST-G homogenous type),and LST-G nodular mixed type],accompanied by large nodules(with)were independent risk factors for carcinogenesis;endoscopic classification(LST-NG-PD)and the presence of large nodules were independent risk factors for submucosal infiltration.CONCLUSION These risk factors provide practical guidance for treatment selection:LST-NG-PD with large nodules should prioritize ESD,while high-risk rectal lesions>2 cm may require additional imaging evaluation before endoscopic resection.

文摘Lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries are promising next-generation high-energy-density energy storage devices.However,the failure mechanism of 500 Wh kg^(-1)level Li-S pouch cells has not been well understood.Herein,quantitative and systematic failure analysis is conducted on 500 Wh kg^(-1)level Li-S pouch cells to understand the underlying failure mechanism.Focusing on electrolyte exhaustion as the primary cause of cell failure,quantitative analysis methods are established to determine electrolyte occupation by physical infiltration of the cathode,separator,and anode as well as chemical consumption by lithium metal.Insufficient physical infiltration of the cathode caused by irreversible cathode volume expansion is identified as the main cause of electrolyte exhaustion.In comparison,chemical consumption of electrolytes by lithium metal and insufficient anode infiltration have limited influence on cell operations.To address the insufficient cathode infiltration,macropore-rich sulfur cathodes are fabricated to suppress the irreversible volume expansion and prolong the cycling lifespan of Li-S pouch cells by 2.4 times.This work elucidates that the sulfur cathode dominates the cycling lifespan of high-energy-density Li-S batteries and highlights cathode structural design to mitigate irreversible volume expansion for cycling performance improvement.
文摘Reef limestone is buried in the continental shelf and marine environment.Understanding the mechanisms governing filter cake formation in coral reef limestone strata is essential for various engineering activities in coastal areas,including slurry pressure balanced(SPB)shield tunneling,which are currently not well understood.This study systematically investigates the slurry infiltration characteristics of different coral reef limestone types with inherent anisotropy,identified by growth line orientations,through a series of micro-infiltration column tests.Multiple slurry concentrations and pressures were used to analyze their effects on slurry infiltration dynamics and filter cake formation.Pre-and post-infiltration CT scanning was conducted to examine skeletal morphology and reconstruct the pore network structure of coral reef limestone samples.The results show that while increased slurry concentrations and pressures generally improve filter cake formation,excessive pressure can compromise filter cake integrity.By employing Dijkstra’s algorithm in a pore network model,the study identified primary seepage pathways,highlighting the significant role of near-vertical throat clusters in the infiltration process.A comprehensive analysis of pore structure and connectivity indices before and after infiltration revealed that the orientation of growth lines in coral reef limestone is the primary factor influencing macroscopic slurry infiltration behavior.These findings offer valuable insights for the design and execution of tunneling projects through coral reef limestone formations,especially in coastal regions.

文摘Intense rainfall infiltration is one of the primary triggers for landslides.Developing a robust model for rainfall infiltration analysis is crucial for mitigating landslide disasters.Although the numerical solution of Richard's equation provides high computational accuracy,it often encounters convergence issues.In contrast,the Green-Ampt(GA)model,which is more computationally efficient,lacks accuracy in dealing with the non-uniform distribution of the initial volumetric water content(VWC)and the pore-water redistribution process.Therefore,this study proposes a novel model for analyzing the slope rainfall infiltration process based on the GA model.The proposed model discretizes both the geological layers of the slope and the rainfall event in spatial and temporal scales,respectively,improving accuracy by adjusting step sizes of discretization adaptively.The proposed model is applied to analyze the permeability,stability and reliability of heterogeneous infinite slopes considering uncertainties in multiple parameters.Comparative studies with the numerical solution of Richard's equation and other models demonstrate that the proposed model can provide high computational accuracy and superior analysis convergence in rainfall infiltration modeling.It also indicates that neglecting the pore-water redistribution underestimates the probability of slope failure,overestimates the factor of safety(FOS)of the slope,and inaccurately estimates the depth of the critical slip surface.Moreover,the uncertainties in shear strength parameters may overshadow the influence of initial VWC uncertainties on the slope reliability.This study provides a theoretical basis for the analysis of rainfall infiltration on heterogeneous slopes and the formulation of strategies for landslide disaster prevention.
文摘Against the backdrop of comprehensively promoting quality education,aesthetic education,as an important component of the education system,has become increasingly prominent in its value.As a place for cultivating technical talents,vocational colleges shoulder an important mission in the cultivation of students’aesthetic education.The current art education work in vocational colleges is facing many difficulties.The traditional single art education model is difficult to meet the growing aesthetic needs of students,and the integration of art education and professional education is insufficient,failing to fully play the role of art education in promoting students’comprehensive development.The infiltration of aesthetic education has brought a new perspective to the aesthetic education work in vocational colleges,emphasizing that aesthetic education should be fully integrated into all aspects of students’learning and life,shaping their aesthetic literacy.

文摘Titanium/magnesium alloy bimetal composites show promising prospects for lightweight applications.The Ti/Mg bimetal composite was fabricated in Ti−6Al−4V pyramidal lattice structure via AZ91D melt infiltration.Comparative analysis of the tensile and compressive properties was conducted between the composite and its constituent materials(Ti−6Al−4V lattice structure and AZ91D matrix).The tensile strength of the composite(95.9 MPa)was comparable to that of the Ti−6Al−4V lattice structure(94.4 MPa)but lower than that of the AZ91D alloy(120.8 MPa)due to gaps at the bimetal interfaces hindering load transfer during tension.The composite exhibited greater elongation(1.7%)compared to AZ91D(1.4%)alloy but less than the Ti−6Al−4V lattice structure(2.6%).The compressive performance of the composite outperformed that of the Ti−6Al−4V lattice structure,underscoring the significance of the AZ91D alloy in compressive deformation.Fracture analysis indicated that the predominant failure reasons in both the composite and lattice structures were attributed to the breakage of lattice struts at nodes caused by the stress concentration.

文摘A knowledge of soil permeability is essential to evaluate hydrologic characteristics of soil, such as water storage and water movement, and soil permeability coefficient is an important parameter that reflects soil permeability. In order to confirm the acceptability of the one-dimensional horizontal infiltration method（one-D method） for simultaneously determining both the saturated and unsaturated permeability coefficients of loamy sand, we first measured the cumulative infiltration and the wetting front distance under various infiltration heads through a series of one-dimensional horizontal infiltration experiments, and then analyzed the relationships of the cumulative horizontal infiltration with the wetting front distance and the square root of infiltration time. We finally compared the permeability results from Gardner model based on the one-D method with the results from other two commonly-used methods（i.e., constant head method and van Genuchten model） to evaluate the acceptability and applicability of the one-D method. The results showed that there was a robust linear relationship between the cumulative horizontal infiltration and the wetting front distance, suggesting that it is more appropriate to take the soil moisture content after infiltration in the entire wetted zone as the average soil moisture content than as the saturated soil moisture content. The results also showed that there was a robust linear relationship between the cumulative horizontal infiltration and the square root of infiltration time, suggesting that the Philip infiltration formula can better reflect the characteristics of cumulative horizontal infiltration under different infiltration heads. The following two facts indicate that it is feasible to use the one-D method for simultaneously determining the saturated and unsaturated permeability coefficients of loamy sand. First, the saturated permeability coefficient（prescribed in the Gardner model） of loamy sand obtained from the one-D method well agreed with the value obtained from the constant head method. Second, the relationship of unsaturated permeability coefficient with soil water suction for loamy sand calculated using Gardner model based on the one-D method was nearly identical with the same relationship calculated using van Genuchten model.
