文摘Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of intravitreal injection of faricimab and conbercept in the treatment of diabetic macular edema(DME).Methods:A total of 50 patients diagnosed with DME in our hospital from January 2023 to May 2025 were selected and randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,with 25 cases in each group,using a random number table method.The observation group received intravitreal injection of faricimab,while the control group received intravitreal injection of conbercept.Both groups adopted a loading phase plus maintenance phase treatment regimen.The best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA,expressed in logMAR)and central subfield thickness(CST)of the two groups were compared before treatment and at 1,3,and 6 months after treatment,and the incidence of adverse events during treatment was recorded.Results:The logMAR BCVA in the observation group was lower than that in the control group at 3 and 6 months after treatment(both p<0.05).The CST in the observation group was smaller than that in the control group at 1,3,and 6 months after treatment(all p<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the overall incidence of adverse events between the two groups(χ^(2)=0.189,p=0.663).Conclusion:Both intravitreal injections of faricimab and conbercept are effective in improving visual acuity and reducing macular edema in patients with DME,with good safety profiles.However,faricimab demonstrates superior efficacy in the medium to long term(3 and 6 months)compared to conbercept,making it more suitable for long-term treatment of patients with DME.
文摘When a porous rock is subjected to overall compressive loading,either increasing pore pressure or decreasing confining pressure could result in rock failure.The stress path and the applied pressure change rate may affect the initiation and propagation of fractures within brittle materials.Understanding the physical mechanisms leading to failure is crucial for underground engineering applications and geo-energy exploration and storage.We conducted triaxial compression experiments on porous Bentheim sandstone samples at different stress paths and pressure change rates.First,at a constant confining pressure of 35 MPa and pore pressure of 5 MPa,intact cylindrical samples were axially loaded up to about 85%of the peak strength.Subsequently,the axial piston position was fixed,and then either the pore pressure was increased or the confining pressure was decreased at two different rates(0.5 MPa/min or 2 MPa/min),leading to final catastrophic failure.The mechanical results revealed that samples subjected to higher rates of decreasing effective confining pressure exhibited larger stress drop rates,higher slip rates,higher total breakdown work,higher rates of acoustic emissions(AEs)before failure,and higher post-failure AE decay rates.In contrast,the applied stress path did not significantly affect rock failure characteristics.Comparison of located AE events with post-mortem microstructures of deformed samples shows a good agreement.The AE source type determined from the P-wave first-motion polarity shows that shear failure dominated the fracture process when approaching failure.Gutenberg-Richter b-values revealed a significant decrease before failure in all tests.Our results indicate that,in contrast to the stress path,the rate of effective stress change strongly affects fracturing behavior and AE rate changes.

文摘One of the key challenges for underground rock reservoirs is ensuring prevention of the unwanted fluid leakage through rock fracture networks during their service life.Microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation(MICP)technology has emerged as a promising bio-healing method for rock fractures with small apertures.In this study,a new“three-stage”injection strategy-based MICP(TS-MICP)bio-healing method was proposed,aiming to achieve a“three-high”performance that includes high bridging rate,high mechanical strength,and high homogeneity.A series of meter-scale rock fracture models were prepared to conduct TS-MICP grouting tests.Compared with the traditional injection strategy-based biohealing methods,the TS-MICP method significantly improved the bridging rate(32.1%e89.5%),mechanical properties(0.138e1.023 MPa),and homogeneity of CaCO_(3)precipitation(334.4%).Additionally,it achieved a higher material utilization rate(1.72 times higher),reducing the consumption of cementation solution(CS)by 258.8%,thereby demonstrating greater potential for field applications.The underlying mechanism for achieving high bridging rate and high homogeneity in CaCO_(3)precipitation can be attributed to the synergistic effects of the coupling injection strategy,which optimizes the advantages at each stage.In stage I,under the influence of gravity,the rapid flocculation and hydrogen bonding interactions of organic matter lead to formation of the dense and high-strength CaCO_(3)precipitation at the bottom using a low-concentration bacterial suspension(BS).This process establishes bridging steps along the wall sides for subsequent uniform CaCO_(3)precipitation.In stage II,concentrated BS is utilized to produce looser CaCO_(3)flocculation,which precipitates uniformly on the pre-existing bridging steps.In stage III,a two-step injection strategy was employed to reinforce the loose CaCO_(3)crystals formed in stages I and II,and finally forms a strong bridging effect with“three-high”performance.
文摘Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect of double-puncture tympanic membrane puncture and tympanic cavity drug injection in patients with acute secretory otitis media.Methods:A total of 84 patients with acute secretory otitis media admitted to our hospital from June 2024 to June 2025 were selected and randomly divided into two groups by drawing lots.The control group(42 cases)was treated with the traditional single-puncture tympanic membrane puncture and tympanic cavity drug injection method,while the observation group(42 cases)was treated with the double-puncture tympanic membrane puncture and tympanic cavity drug injection method.The therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared.Results:The overall treatment response rate,overall complication rate,time to symptom relief,and improvement in hearing threshold in the observation group were all superior to those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion:For acute secretory otitis media,the treatment method of double-puncture tympanic membrane puncture and tympanic cavity drug injection demonstrates definite efficacy,significantly reducing the incidence of complications,accelerating symptom relief,and improving hearing function,making it worthy of promotion.
文摘Rationale:This case report describes a couple with recurrent fertilization failure despite undergoing multiple cycles of intracytoplasmic sperm injection(ICSI).The principal clinical concern was suspected oocyte activation deficiency(OAD),in which fertilization is impeded due to the oocyte’s inability to initiate embryogenesis,commonly attributed to inadequate intracellular calcium(Ca^(2+))release following sperm injection.Patient concerns:The couple repeatedly experienced complete or near-complete fertilization failure in previous ICSI cycles,raising suspicion of an underlying oocyte activation defect.Diagnosis:Based on the repeated absence of fertilization post-ICSI and clinical history,a diagnosis of suspected OAD leading to recurrent ICSI fertilization failure was considered.Interventions:Artificial oocyte activation(AOA)using the calcium ionophore A23187 was performed.After ICSI,unfertilized oocytes were exposed to the ionophore to induce Ca^(2+)influx,simulating physiological calcium oscillations essential for oocyte activation.The efficacy of intervention was evaluated through subsequent embryonic development,morphological grading,and chromosomal integrity.Outcomes:Following AOA treatment,successful oocyte activation occurred,resulting in the formation of high-grade embryos with normal developmental progression.Chromosomal analysis revealed no detectable abnormalities,indicating genomic stability.Lessons:Calcium ionophore–mediated AOA may serve as an effective adjunct in cases of recurrent ICSI failure attributed to OAD.This case highlights the importance of individualized therapeutic strategies in assisted reproduction;however,further research is needed to refine protocols,validate broader clinical efficacy,and assess long-term safety,including potential epigenetic risks.
文摘BACKGROUND A total of 100 patients diagnosed with mixed hemorrhoids from October 2022 to September 2023 in our hospital were randomly divided into groups by dice rolling and compared with the efficacy of different treatment options.AIM To analyze the clinical effect and prognosis of mixed hemorrhoids treated with polidocanol injection combined with automatic elastic thread ligation operation(RPH).METHODS A total of 100 patients with mixed hemorrhoids who visited our hospital from October 2022 to September 2023 were selected and randomly divided into the control group(n=50)and the treatment group(n=50)by rolling the dice.The procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids(PPH)was adopted in the control group,while polidocanol foam injection+RPH was adopted in the treatment group.The therapeutic effects,operation time,wound healing time,hospital stay,pain situation(24 hours post-operative pain score,first defecation pain score),quality of life(QOL),incidence of complications(post-operative hemorrhage,edema,infection),incidence of anal stenosis 3 months post-operatively and recurrence rate 1 year post-operatively of the two groups were compared.RESULTS Compared with the control group,the total effective rate of treatment group was higher,and the difference was significant(P<0.05).The operation time/wound healing time/hospital stay in the treatment group were shorter than those in the control group(P<0.05).The pain scores at 24 hours after operation/first defecation pain score of the treatment group was significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).After surgery,the QOL scores of the two groups decreased,with the treatment group having higher scores than that of the control group(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the incidence of postoperative complications in the treatment group was lower,and the difference was significant(P<0.05);However,there was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative bleeding between the two groups(P>0.05);There was no significant difference in the incidence of anal stenosis 3 months after operation and the recurrence rate 1 year after operation between the two groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSION For patients with mixed hemorrhoids,the therapeutic effect achieved by using polidocanol injection combined with RPH was better.The wounds of the patients healed faster,the postoperative pain was milder,QOL improved,and the incidence of complications was lower,and the short-term and long-term prognosis was good.

文摘Hydrogen displays the potential to partially replace pulverized coal injection(PCI)in the blast furnace,and it can reduce CO_(2)emissions.In this paper,a three-dimensional mathematical model of hydrogen and pulverized coal co-injection in blast furnace tuyere was established through numerical simulation,and the effect of hydrogen injection and oxygen enrichment interaction on pulverized coal combustion and raceway smelting was investigated.The simulation results indicate that when the coal injection rate decreased from 36 to 30t/h and the hydrogen injection increased from 0 to 3600 m^(3)/h,the CO_(2)emissions decreased from 1860 to 1551 kg/t,which represents a16.6%reduction,and the pulverized coal burnout decreased from 70.1%to 63.7%.The heat released from hydrogen combustion can not only promote the volatilization of pulverized coal but also affect the combustion reaction between volatilization and oxygen,which resulted in a decrease in the temperature at the end of the raceway.Co-injection of hydrogen with PCI increased the wall temperature near the upper half part of the raceway and at the outlet of the tuyere,which required a high cooling efficiency to extend the service life of the blast furnace.The increase in oxygen level compensated for the decreased average temperature in the raceway due to hydrogen injection.The increase in the oxygen content by 3%while maintaining constant hydrogen and PCI injection rates increased the burnout and average raceway temperature by 4.2%and 43 K,respectively.The mole fraction of CO and H_(2) production increased by 0.04 and 0.02,respectively.Burnout can be improved through optimization of the particle size distribution of pulverized coal.

文摘Frozen shoulder(FS),also known as adhesive capsulitis,is a condition that causes contraction and stiffness of the shoulder joint capsule.The main symptoms are per-sistent shoulder pain and a limited range of motion in all directions.These symp-toms and poor prognosis affect people's physical health and quality of life.Currently,the specific mechanisms of FS remain unclear,and there is variability in treatment methods and their efficacy.Additionally,the early symptoms of FS are difficult to distinguish from those of other shoulder diseases,complicating early diagnosis and treatment.Therefore,it is necessary to develop and utilize animal models to under-stand the pathogenesis of FS and to explore treatment strategies,providing insights into the prevention and treatment of human FS.This paper reviews the rat models available for FS research,including external immobilization models,surgical internal immobilization models,injection modeling models,and endocrine modeling models.It introduces the basic procedures for these models and compares and analyzes the advantages,disadvantages,and applicability of each modeling method.Finally,our paper summarizes the common methods for evaluating FS rat models.

文摘This study proposes and systematically evaluates an optimized integration of warm surface seawater injection with depressurization for the long-term exploitation of marine natural gas hydrates.By employing comprehensive multiphysics simulations guided by field data from hydrate production tests in the South China Sea,we pinpoint key operational parameters—such as injection rates,depths,and timings—that notably enhance production efficiency.The results indicate that a 3-phase hydrate reservoir transitions from a free-gas-dominated production stage to a hydrate-decomposition-dominated stage.Moderate warm seawater injection supplies additional heat during the hydrate decomposition phase,thereby enhancing stable production;however,excessively high injection rates can impede the depressurization process.Only injection at an appropriate depth simultaneously balances thermal supplementation and the pressure gradient,leading to higher overall productivity.A“depressurization-driven sensible-heat supply window”is introduced,highlighting that timely seawater injection following initial depressurization prolongs reservoir dissociation dynamics.In this study area,commencing seawater injection at 170 d of depressurization proved optimal.This optimized integration leverages clean and renewable thermal energy,providing essential insights into thermal supplementation strategies with significant implications for sustainable,economically feasible,and efficient commercial-scale hydrate production.

文摘BACKGROUND Although gastroscopy is a commonly used diagnostic and therapeutic technique,postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction is prone to occur.Traditional Chinese medicine theory suggests that postoperative gastrointestinal disorders are related to spleen and stomach weakness.This study hypothesizes that the combination of acupoint application at the Ziwu Liuzhu acupoint and percutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation can promote postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery and alleviate stress reactions.AIM To investigate the effects of acupoint application of Ziwu Liuzhu combined with percutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation on postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery and stress response in patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy surgery.METHODS A total of 120 patients who underwent gastroscopy surgery were selected and treated between October 2024 and January 2025.This study used a stratified block randomization method,and then allocated groups using computer-generated random number sequences(SAS 9.4 software).The groups were divided into two groups:A control group of 60 patients who received routine postoperative intervention measures,and an observation group of 60 patients who received acupuncture point application combined with transcutaneous acupoint electrical CONCLUSION The combination of percutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation in gastroscopy patients has been demonstrated to be both highly safe and effective.The benefits of this approach include the promotion of postoperative gastrointestinal function,the reduction of stress response,the attainment of optimal results,and the enhancement of patient satisfaction.

文摘In shale reservoirs,fluids are often confined within nanopores,leading to apparent effects on the properties and phase behavior of the fluid.However,previous studies have primarily focused on the effect of capillary pressure or adsorption on well performance,and only a very limited number of studies have researched the complex and coupled impact of confinement on capillarity,adsorption,and interactions between fluid molecules and pore walls.Therefore,in this study,an effective method is developed for evaluating the coupled effects of nanopore confinement on CO_(2) injection performance.First,a comprehensive thermodynamic model that incorporates adsorption,capillary pressure,and molecule-wall interaction in nanopores by modifying the Peng-Robinson equation of state(PR-EOS)is proposed.Subsequently,the calculated critical properties of different components are validated against experimental measured data,illustrating that the developed model can accurately predict the properties of the components of CO_(2)-hydrocarbon systems.Numerical simulations of field-scale case studies were then performed and calibrated using a modified phase equilibrium model.Typical fluid properties were inputted to investigate the effect of nanopore confinement on the CO_(2) injection performance.The results of this study show that the ultimate recovery factor increases by approximately 4.61%at a pore size of 10 nm,indicating that nanopore confinement is advantageous to well performance.Light hydrocarbons undergo more intense mass transfer than heavy hydrocarbons.Furthermore,as the pore radius decreased from 100 nm to 10 nm,the CO_(2) storage coefficient increased by 2.8%.The findings of this study deepen the collective understanding of the effect of nanopore confinement on CO_(2) displacement and storage,which has significant field-scale applications.

文摘One of the pathways to attain NET ZERO is CO_(2)injection into deep saline aquifers(DSAs),which alters the saturation and pore pressure of the reservoir rocks,hence the effective stress,sʹ.This,in turn,would change their geomechanical(i.e.peak deviatoric stress,elastic modulus,Poisson's ratio)and petrophysical(porosity and permeability)properties.Such a situation might trigger geo-hazards,like induced seismicity,ground deformation,caprock failure.Hence,reducing the risk of such hazards necessitates quantifying the spatial and temporal changes in sʹ,under specific CO_(2)and/or brine saturation,designated as S_(CO2)and S_(b),respectively,and resultant pore pressure.With this in view,a conceptual model depicting the reservoir,demarcated by five zones based on variations in saturation,pore-pressure,temperature,etc.,and the corresponding effective stress equations have been proposed based on the available literature.Furthermore,a critical review of literature has been carried out to decipher the limitations and contradictions associated with the findings from(i)laboratory studies to estimate S_(CO2)employing pwave velocity and electrical resistivity,(ii)analytical and numerical approaches for estimating the variation of pore-pressure in the reservoir rocks,and(iii)laboratory studies on variation in geomechanical and petrophysical properties under the conditions representative of the above-mentioned zones of the conceptual model.The authors consider that extensive experiments should be conducted on the rocks from different sources and tested under various conditions of the CO_(2)injection to validate the proposed model for the execution of risk-free CO_(2)storage in DSAs.

文摘During high-speed rotation,the surface of aeronautic spiral bevel gears will generate significant pressure and viscous forces,which will cause a certain amount of windage power loss and reduce the efficiency of the transmission system.Based on the computational fluid dynamics,this paper analyzes the windage power loss of a single spiral bevel gear and a spiral bevel gear pair under oil injection lubrication.In addition,the shroud is used to suppress gear windage loss,and the clearance size and opening angle of the designed shroud are optimized.Finally,by comparing and analyzing the experimental results,the following conclusions were obtained:(1)For a single gear,the speed is the most important factor affecting windage loss,followed by the hand of spiral,and rotation direction;(2)For gear pairs,under oil injection lubrication,the input speed has the greatest impact on windage power loss,followed by the influence of oil injection port speed,temperature and oil injection port pressure;(3)Installing a shroud is an effective method to reduce windage power loss;(4)In the pure air phase,the smaller the clearance between the shroud and the gear surface,and the smaller the radial direction between the shroud and the shaft,the better the effect of reducing windage;(5)In the two-phase flow of oil and gas,it is necessary to design oil drainage holes on the shroud to ensure the smooth discharge of lubricating oil and improve the drag reduction effect.

文摘In the scenario of a steam generator tube rupture accident in a lead-cooled fast reactor,secondary circuit subcooled water under high pressure is injected into an ordinary-pressure primary vessel,where a molten lead-based alloy(typically pure lead or lead-bismuth eutectic(LBE))is used as the coolant.To clarify the pressure build-up characteristics under water-jet injection,this study conducted several experiments by injecting pressurized water into a molten LBE pool at Sun Yat-sen University.To obtain a further understanding,several new experimental parameters were adopted,including the melt temperature,water subcooling,injection pressure,injection duration,and nozzle diameter.Through detailed analyses,it was found that the pressure and temperature during the water-melt interaction exhibited a consistent variation trend with our previous water-droplet injection mode LBE experiment.Similarly,the existence of a steam explosion was confirmed,which typically results in a much stronger pressure build-up.For the non-explosion cases,increasing the injection pressure,melt-pool temperature,nozzle diameter,and water subcooling promoted pressure build-up in the melt pool.However,a limited enhancement effect was observed when increasing the injection duration,which may be owing to the continually rising pressure in the interaction vessel or the isolation effect of the generated steam cavity.Regardless of whether a steam explosion occurred,the calculated mechanical and kinetic energy conversion efficiencies of the melt were relatively small(not exceeding 4.1%and 0.7%,respectively).Moreover,the range of the conversion efficiency was similar to that of previous water-droplet experiments,although the upper limit of the jet mode was slightly lower.

文摘The intelligent operation management of distribution services is crucial for the stability of power systems.Integrating the large language model(LLM)with 6G edge intelligence provides customized management solutions.However,the adverse effects of false data injection(FDI)attacks on the performance of LLMs cannot be overlooked.Therefore,we propose an FDI attack detection and LLM-assisted resource allocation algorithm for 6G edge intelligenceempowered distribution power grids.First,we formulate a resource allocation optimization problem.The objective is to minimize the weighted sum of the global loss function and total LLM fine-tuning delay under constraints of long-term privacy entropy and energy consumption.Then,we decouple it based on virtual queues.We utilize an LLM-assisted deep Q network(DQN)to learn the resource allocation strategy and design an FDI attack detection mechanism to ensure that fine-tuning remains on the correct path.Simulations demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has excellent performance in convergence,delay,and security.

文摘BACKGROUND Intramuscular corticosteroid injection may cause adverse effects such as dermal and/or subcutaneous atrophy,alopecia,hypopigmentation,and hyperpigmentation.Although cutaneous atrophy can spontaneously resolve,several treatment options have been suggested for this condition.CASE SUMMARY In this paper,we report a case of corticosteroid injection induced lipoatrophy treated with autologous whole blood(AWB)injection,as the condition had been unresponsive to fractional laser therapy.A 29-year-old female patient visited the dermatology clinic complaining of skin depression on her right buttock area,which had appeared six months earlier.There had been only subtle improvement at the margins after fractional CO_(2) laser treatment;therefore,after obtaining informed consent from the patient,AWB treatment was initiated.One month after the first AWB injection,the size and depth of the lesion had noticeably improved,and a slight improvement was also observed in discoloration.CONCLUSION Close observation is the initial treatment of choice for steroid induced skin atrophy;however,for patients in need of immediate cosmetic improvement,AWB injection may be a safe and cost-effective alternative.

文摘This paper investigates ruin,capital injection,and dividends for a two-dimensional risk model.The model posits that surplus levels of insurance companies are governed by a perturbed composite Poisson risk model.This model introduces a dependence between the two surplus levels,present in both the associated perturbations and the claims resulting from common shocks.Critical levels of capital injection and dividends are established for each of the two risks.The surplus levels are observed discretely at fixed intervals,guiding decisions on capital injection,dividends,and ruin at these junctures.This study employs a two-dimensional Fourier cosine series expansion method to approximate the finite time expected discounted operating cost until ruin.The ensuing approximation error is also quantified.The validity and accuracy of the method are corroborated through numerical examples.Furthermore,the research delves into the optimal capital allocation problem.
文摘Owing to the low p-type doping efficiency in the hole injection layers(HILs)of GaN-based ultra-violet(UV)vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser(VCSEL),effective hole injection in multi-quantum wells(MQW)is not achieved,significantly limiting the photoelectric performance of UV VCSELs.We developed a slope-shaped HIL and an EBL structure in AlGaN-based UV VCSELs.In this study,by improving hole in-jection efficiency,the hole concentration in the HIL is increased,and the hole barrier at the electron barrier layer(EBL)/HIL interface is decreased.This minimises the hindering effect of hole injection.A mathematic-al model of this structure was established using a commercial software,photonic integrated circuit simulator in three-dimension(PICS3D).We conducted simulations and theoretical analyses of the band structure and carrier concentration.Introducing polarisation doping through the Al composition gradient in the HIL en-hanced the hole concentration,thereby improving the hole injection efficiency.Furthermore,modifying the EBL eliminated the abrupt potential barrier for holes at the HIL/EBL interface,smoothing the valence band.This improved the stimulated radiative recombination rate in the MQW,increasing the laser power.There-fore,the sloped p-type layer can enhance the optoelectronic performance of UV VCSELs.

文摘In this study,injectable bone graft putty samples were developed using fine and coarse melt-quenched 45S5 bioactive glass(BG)incorporated into a carrier system composed of glycerol and polyethylene glycol(PEG)with different average molecular weights.Selected putty samples were further incorporated with varying amounts of Denosumab(5wt%-10wt%)to investigate its influence on rhe-ological behavior and flow properties using mathematical modeling.All PEG/glycerol/45S5-based putty samples exhibited viscoelastic behavior(storage modulus>loss modulus)and pseudoplastic behavior(n<1),with viscosity values required for optimal flow remaining below 1000 Pa∙s.Both viscosity and thixotropic area increased proportionally with higher BG content and smaller-sized BG particles.All putty samples showed more than 98%injectability through a 12G cannula,suggesting potential clinical suitability.However,injectability decreased with smaller cannulas,dropping to 34.7%-58.3%with a 19G cannula and further decreasing with a 23G cannula at higher BG contents.Incorporation of Denosumab preserved viscoelasticity and injectability but modified the flow behavior,shifting it from pseudo-plastic to more Newtonian with higher Denosumab content,while also reducing viscosity and thixotropic area values.Among all tested samples,putty containing a lower amount of Denosumab and smaller-sized BG exhibited the most suitable combination of injectability and rheological features.All putty samples were well described by both the Power law and Herschel-Bulkley rheological models(coeffi-cient of determination>0.95).This study highlights the influence of Denosumab on flowability and rheological relationships and sug-gests potential improvements in bioactivity through a dual synergistic effect of BG and Denosumab in minimally invasive bone graft sys-tems.
