Its involvement in cancer cell proliferation and metastasis has been widely studied. Its role in pheomelanogenesis is likely conserved in sheep. The full-length cDNA of sheep SLC7A11 was cloned from sheep skin fibroblasts for evaluating its role in regulating sheep coat color. The complete open reading frame of sheep xCT (sxCT) is 1512 bp in length, encoding a 503 amino acid polypeptide. We explored its function on pheomelanogenesis in vitro and in vivo. In the melan-a non-agouti mouse melanocytes that mainly produce eumelanin, overexpressed sxCT reduced the content of eumelanin. Using a testicular injection transgenic method, sxCT-transgenic sheep were generated and exhibited patches of brown/yellow coat, suggesting that sxCT can be selectively expressed to increase the pheomelanin production in wool. Our studies suggest that testicular injection of transgene can be used to genetically modify sheep coat color.展开更多

The beneficial effect of these bioactive substances on the gastrointestinal tract and immune system give rise to improvements in broiler health and performance nutrition, thus increasing the productivity of these birds. An innovative method for introducing bioactive substances into chickens is the in ovo injection into eggs intended for hatching. The aim of the study was to evaluate the development of histomorphological parameters of the duodenum and productivity in chickens injected in ovo with the prebiotic DiNovo~?(extract of Laminaria species of seaweed, BioA tlantis Ltd., Ireland) on d 12 of incubation, under large-scale, high density poultry production conditions.Results: There was no significant impact of the injection of DiNovo~? prebiotic on the production parameters of broiler chickens(body weight, FCR, EBI and mortality) obtained on d 42 of rearing. No significant impact of the DiNovo~? injection on the duodenum weight and length was observed, as wel as on the CSA, diameter and muscular layer thickness of the duodenum. The in ovo injection of DiNovo~? significantly increased the width of the duodenal vil i(P < 0.05) and crypt depth(P < 0.01) of chickens on d 21 of rearing. Other histomorphological parameters of duodenal vil i at d 42 of chickens rearing such as: the height, width, and cross section area of vil i were significantly greater in chickens from the control group compared to those from the DiNovo~? group(P < 0.05 and P < 0.01).Conclusions: In conclusion, this study demonstrates that injection of DiNovo~? prebiotic into the air chamber of egg significantly influences the histomorphological parameters on d 21 of rearing without negatively affecting productivity in chickens at the end of rearing.展开更多

In addition, an injection-production dynamic transient flow analysis model named "three points and two stages" suitable for an underground gas storage(UGS) well with alternate working conditions was proposed. The "three points" refer to three time points during cyclic injection and production, namely, the starting point of gas injection for UGS construction, the beginning and ending points of the injection-production analysis stage;and the "two stages" refer to historical flow stage and injection-production analysis stage. The study shows that the dimensionless pseudo-pressure and dimensionless pseudo-pressure integral curves of UGS well flex downward in the early stage of the injection and production process, and the dimensionless pseudo-pressure integral derivative curve is convex during the gas production period and concave during the gas injection period, and the curves under different flow histories have atypical features. The new method present in this paper can analyze transient flow of UGS accurately. The application of this method to typical wells in Hutubi gas storage shows that the new method can fit the pressure history accurately, and obtain reliable parameters and results.展开更多

A workflow that involves a physics-based extraction of features was proposed for fluid production forecasting to improve the prediction effect. The Bayesian regularization algorithm was selected as the training algorithm of the model. This algorithm, although taking longer time, can better generalize oil, gas and water production data sets. The model was evaluated by calculating mean square error and determination coefficient, drawing error distribution histogram and the cross-plot between simulation data and verification data etc. The model structure was trained, validated and tested with 90% of the historical data, and blindly evaluated using the remaining. The predictive model consumes minimal information and computational cost and is capable of predicting fluid production rate with a coefficient of determination of more than 0.9, which has the simulation results consistent with the practical data.展开更多

However, it is still relatively inefficient and has not yet been demonstrated to work in buffalo. We sought to improve two key technical parameters of the procedure, namely i) how much linear DNA to inject and ii) when to inject it. For this, we introduced a constitutively expressed enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) plasmid into buffalo zygotes. Results: First, we found that the proportion of EGFP-expressing blastocysts derived from zygotes injected with 20 or 50 ng/pL DNA was significantly higher than from those injected with 5 pg/mL. However, 50 ng/pL exogenous DNA compromised blastocyst development compared to non-injected IVF controls. Therefore the highest net yield of EGFP-positive blastocysts was achieved at 20 ng/pL DNA. Second, zygotes injected early (7-8 h post-insemination [hpi]) developed better than those injected at mid (12-13 hpi) or late (18-19 hpi) time points. Blastocysts derived from early injections were also more frequently EGFP-positive. As a consequence, the net yield of EGFP-expressing blastocysts was more than doubled using early vs late injections (16.4 % vs 7.7 %). With respect to blastocyst quality, we found no significant difference in cell numbers of EGFP-positive blastocysts vs non-injected blastocysts. Following embryo transfer of six EGFP-positive blastocysts into four recipient animals, two viable buffalo calves were born. Biopsied ear tissues from both buffalo calves were analyzed for transgene presence and expression by Southern blot, PCR and confocal laser scanning microscopy, respectively. This confirmed that both calves were transgenic. Conclusions: Our cytoplasmic injection protocol improved generation of transgenic embryos and resulted in the first transgenic buffalo calves produced by this method.展开更多

文摘Critical erosionflow rate is the key factor restricting the injection/production capacity of an injection/production well.At present,it is commonly calculated according to API RP 14E standard and its calculation result tends to be conservative.So far,however,there is no definite laboratory experiment orfield data that can prove that critical erosionflow rate can be increased on the basis of API RP 14E.To deal this end,the concept of critical erosionflow rate was proposed based on corrosion rate for thefirst time in this paper.Then,a laboratory equivalent simulation experiment under real injection and production conditions was carried out by comprehensively taking into account the factors influencing string erosion(including temperature,pressure,gas component,water content,solid particle content and string material)while introducing the wall shear stress.Accordingly,the critical erosion coefficient(C)under experimental working conditions was calculated.Finally,a C value chart for three kinds of strings that are commonly used onfield(N80,SM80S and S13Cr)was established.And the following research results are ob-tained.First,solid particle content,water content,CO_(2)differential pressure and wall shear stress are the main erosion controlling factors.Second,solid particle content is the most significant factor that affects the erosion of N80,SM80S and S13Cr strings,and erosion of N80 and SM80S strings is more sensitive to wall shear stress and water content.Third,as for S13Cr string,the C value can be 100 when the solid particle content is lower than 250 mg/L,180 when thefluid contains liquid but no solid particles,and 275 when thefluid is gas phase.Fourth,as for N80 and SM80S strings,the C value can be in the range of 100e180 based on different water content and wall shear stress when thefluid contains liquid but no solid particles,and 275 when thefluid is in gas phase.Fifth,in view that thefluid produced from the injection/production wells of Hutubi gas storage has a water content of 0.0010‰without solid particles,S13Cr is adopted as string material and the C value is set at 180.It is shown in the laboratory erosion experiments that no erosion trace occurs on the string samples under injection and production conditions and the erosion rate is extremely low without point erosion.In conclusion,the C value chart established in this paper is reliable and can provide the guidance for the scientific and reasonable determination of critical erosionflow rate.

文摘The surface injection and production system(SIPS)is a critical component for effective injection and production processes in underground natural gas storage.As a vital channel,the rational design of the surface injection and production(SIP)pipeline significantly impacts efficiency.This paper focuses on the SIP pipeline and aims to minimize the investment costs of surface projects.An optimization model under harmonized injection and production conditions was constructed to transform the optimization problem of the SIP pipeline design parameters into a detailed analysis of the injection condition model and the production condition model.This paper proposes a hybrid genetic algorithm generalized reduced gradient(HGA-GRG)method,and compares it with the traditional genetic algorithm(GA)in a practical case study.The HGA-GRG demonstrated significant advantages in optimization outcomes,reducing the initial cost by 345.371×10^(4) CNY compared to the GA,validating the effectiveness of the model.By adjusting algorithm parameters,the optimal iterative results of the HGA-GRG were obtained,providing new research insights for the optimal design of a SIPS.

文摘Comprehensive studies on CO_(2)breakthrough times and flooding effects are crucial for optimizing CO_(2)flooding strategies.This study utilized numerical simulations to investigate the effects of hydraulic fractures,permeability,and CO_(2)injection rates on CO_(2)breakthrough times and cumulative oil production.Nonlinear relationships among the respective variables were established,with Sobol method analysis delineating the dominant control factors.The key findings indicate that although hydraulic fracturing shortens CO_(2)breakthrough time,it concurrently enhances cumulative oil production.The orientation of hydraulic fractures emerged as a pivotal factor influencing flooding effectiveness.Furthermore,lower permeability corresponds to lower initial oil production,while higher permeability corresponds to higher initial daily oil production.When reservoir permeability is 1 mD,oil production declines at 1000 days,and at 2 mD,it declines at 700 days.At a surface CO_(2)injection rate of 10,000 m^(3)/d,the daily oil production of a single well is approximately 7.5 m^(3),and this value remains relatively stable over time.The hierarchical order of influence on CO_(2)breakthrough and rapid rise times,from highest to lowest,is permeability,well spacing,CO_(2)injection rate,porosity,and hydraulic fracture conductivity.Similarly,the order of influence on cumulative oil production,from highest to lowest,is well spacing,porosity,permeability,CO_(2)injection rate,and hydraulic fracture conductivity.This paper analyzed the impact of geological and engineering parameters on CO_(2)flooding and oil production and provided insights to optimize CO_(2)injection strategies for enhanced oil recovery.

文摘To simultaneously improve the critical factors in photocatalytic H_(2)production,the population of active photogenerated electrons,the adsorption and activation of H_(2)O molecules,and the surface dehydrogenation efficiency,we propose a synergistic strategy for TiO_(2)modification by combining transition metal(TM)doping and N-doped carbon(N-C)coating.The targeted Cr-TiO_(2)@N-C heterojunction exhibits dramatically enhanced H_(2)production under blue light irradiation,contrasting sharply with a negligible production by pristine TiO_(2).Comprehensive structural characterization and theoretical calculations confirm the uniform substitution of Cr into the TiO_(2)lattice,promoting the formation of adjacent oxygen vacancies(VO).The synergistic effect of Cr doping and VO extends the light absorption range into the visible region.The coated N-C layer facilitates the efficient separation of photogenerated charge carriers,boosting the population of active electrons.Critically,the combined action of VO and N-C layer enhances the adsorption and activation of H_(2)O molecules while effectively improving the subsequent surface dehydrogenation efficiency.Significantly,this strategy demonstrates broad universality:Analogous TM-TiO_(2)@N-C heterojunctions(TM=Mn,Co,Ni,Cu,and Zn)synthesized via the same approach all show substantially improved H_(2)production performance over pristine TiO_(2).

文摘Hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2))is a versatile oxidant with significant applications,particularly in regulating the microenvironment for healthcare purposes.Herein,a rational design of the photoanode is implemented to enhance H_(2)O_(2) production by oxidizing H_(2)O in a portable photoelectrocatalysis(PEC)device.The obtained solution from this system is demonstrated for effective bactericidal activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli,while maintaining low toxicity toward hippocampal neuronal cells.The photoanode is achieved by Mo-doped BiVO4 films,which are subsequently loaded with cobalt-porphyrin(Co-py)molecules as a co-catalyst.As a result,the optimal performance for H_(2)O_(2) production rate was achieved at 8.4μmol h^(−1) cm^(−2),which is 1.8 times that of the pristine BiVO4 photoanode.Density functional theory(DFT)simulations reveal that the improved performance results from a 1.1 eV reduction in the energy of the rate-determining step of·OH adsorption by the optimal photoanode.This study demonstrates a PEC approach for promoting H_(2)O_(2) production by converting H_(2)O for antibacterial purposes,offering potential applications in conventionally controlling microenvironments for healthcare applications.

文摘Single-atom catalysts based on graphitic carbon nitride(g-C_(3)N_(4))show high potential for hydrogen production photocatalytically.However,it is still a challenge to develop single-atom-based g-C_(3)N_(4)due to the complex synthesis procedures,limited active sites,and insufficient mechanistic understanding.Herein,a facile oxygen-tolerant synthesis strategy was developed,which utilizes the nitrogen-rich structure of g-C_(3)N_(4)to capture Fe single atoms from ammonium iron citrate,successfully constructing an efficient photocatalytic composite.The resulting Fe single-atom-modified g-C_(3)N_(4)catalyst exhibited highly improved light absorption,charge carrier separation,and a substantially enhanced rate of H_(2)production photocatalytically under visible light irradiation.Experimental results demonstrated that the optimal sample achieves a H_(2)production rate of 683μmol·h-1·g^(-1),representing a 425% enhancement compared to pristine g-C_(3)N_(4).This study presents a facile oxygen-tolerant approach for metal immobilization using metal-organic precursors,where the nitrogen-rich framework of g-C_(3)N_(4)effectively captures Fe atoms as singular site within the composite.The developed synthesis strategy provides new insights for designing high-performance single-atom photocatalytic materials,potentially advancing the application and development of photocatalysis.

文摘The gene, SLC7All, which encodes the solute carrier family 7 member 11 (anionic amino acid transporter light chain, xCT), has been reported to be implicated in multiple processes such as in pheomelanin production, cell proliferation and migration, Kaposi's sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) entry into the host cells, learning and memory. Its involvement in cancer cell proliferation and metastasis has been widely studied. Its role in pheomelanogenesis is likely conserved in sheep. The full-length cDNA of sheep SLC7A11 was cloned from sheep skin fibroblasts for evaluating its role in regulating sheep coat color. The complete open reading frame of sheep xCT (sxCT) is 1512 bp in length, encoding a 503 amino acid polypeptide. We explored its function on pheomelanogenesis in vitro and in vivo. In the melan-a non-agouti mouse melanocytes that mainly produce eumelanin, overexpressed sxCT reduced the content of eumelanin. Using a testicular injection transgenic method, sxCT-transgenic sheep were generated and exhibited patches of brown/yellow coat, suggesting that sxCT can be selectively expressed to increase the pheomelanin production in wool. Our studies suggest that testicular injection of transgene can be used to genetically modify sheep coat color.

文摘Photocatalytic oxygen reduction provides a sustainable method for on-site hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2))synthesis.However,most photocatalysts suffer from moderate kinetics due to sluggish electron transfer and inefficient oxygen adsorption and activation.Herein,sodium(Na)and potassium(K)are co-incorporated into graphitic carbon nitride(g-C_(3)N_(4))via a stepwise co-doping strategy combining sodium chloride-induced and molten salt-assisted polymerization.Experimental results and density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the synergistic interaction between intralayer Na+ions and interlayer K^(+)ions facilitates charge carrier separation and migration both within and between g-C_(3)N_(4)layers.Additionally,multiple heteroatom sites enhance surface charge polarization and introduce cyano groups,which synergistically promote oxygen molecule(O_(2))adsorption and elevate local proton coverage.Simultaneously,the energy barrier for H_(2)O_(2)desorption on the optimal photocatalyst(5Na/3.3K-CN)is lowered,thus improving H_(2)O_(2)production efficiency.Eventually,5Na/3.3K-CN exhibits an impressive H_(2)O_(2)yield of 2541.6μmol·g^(-1)·h^(-1) in an artificial reactor,which is 10.6 times higher than that of pure g-C_(3)N_(4)(240.2μmol·g^(-1)·h^(-1)).Under natural sunlight outdoors,5Na/3.3K-CN still maintains ultrahigh H_(2)O_(2)photosynthesis efficiency,achieving an H_(2)O_(2)photosynthesis rate of 2068.7μmol·g^(-1)·h^(-1).This work introduces a straightforward method to simultaneously optimize charge transfer and O_(2)activation for boosting H_(2)O_(2)photosynthesis,offering valuable insights toward the real-world deployment of g-C_(3)N_(4)-based photocatalysts in environmental protection and energy conversion.

文摘The present study was designed to determine the relationships between the performance of ethanol precipitation and seven process parameters in the ethanol precipitation process of Re Du Ning Injections,including concentrate density,concentrate temperature,ethanol content,flow rate and stir rate in the addition of ethanol,precipitation time,and precipitation temperature.Under the experimental and simulated production conditions,a series of precipitated resultants were prepared by changing these variables one by one,and then examined by HPLC fingerprint analyses.Different from the traditional evaluation model based on single or a few constituents,the fingerprint data of every parameter fluctuation test was processed with Principal Component Analysis(PCA)to comprehensively assess the performance of ethanol precipitation.Our results showed that concentrate density,ethanol content,and precipitation time were the most important parameters that influence the recovery of active compounds in precipitation resultants.The present study would provide some reference for pharmaceutical scientists engaged in research on pharmaceutical process optimization and help pharmaceutical enterprises adapt a scientific and reasonable cost-effective approach to ensure the batch-to-batch quality consistency of the final products.

文摘Based on the independently developed true triaxial multi-physical field large-scale physical simulation system of in-situ injection and production,we conducted physical simulation of long-term multi-well injection and production in the hot dry rocks of the Gonghe Basin,Qinghai Province,NW China.Through multi-well connectivity experiments,the spatial distribution characteristics of the natural fracture system in the rock samples and the connectivity between fracture and wellbore were clarified.The injection and production wells were selected to conduct the experiments,namely one injection well and two production wells,one injection well and one production well.The variation of several physical parameters in the production well was analyzed,such as flow rate,temperature,heat recovery rate and fluid recovery.The results show that under the combination of thermal shock and injection pressure,the fracture conductivity was enhanced,and the production temperature showed a downward trend.The larger the flow rate,the faster the decrease.When the local closed area of the fracture was gradually activated,new heat transfer areas were generated,resulting in a lower rate of increase or decrease in the mining temperature.The heat recovery rate was mainly controlled by the extraction flow rate and the temperature difference between injection and production fluid.As the conductivity of the leak-off channel increased,the fluid recovery of the production well rapidly decreased.The influence mechanisms of dominant channels and fluid leak-off on thermal recovery performance are different.The former limits the heat exchange area,while the latter affects the flow rate of the produced fluid.Both of them are important factors affecting the long-term and efficient development of hot dry rock.

文摘Background: Among various feed additives currently used in poultry nutrition, an important role is played by bioactive substances, including prebiotics. The beneficial effect of these bioactive substances on the gastrointestinal tract and immune system give rise to improvements in broiler health and performance nutrition, thus increasing the productivity of these birds. An innovative method for introducing bioactive substances into chickens is the in ovo injection into eggs intended for hatching. The aim of the study was to evaluate the development of histomorphological parameters of the duodenum and productivity in chickens injected in ovo with the prebiotic DiNovo~?(extract of Laminaria species of seaweed, BioA tlantis Ltd., Ireland) on d 12 of incubation, under large-scale, high density poultry production conditions.Results: There was no significant impact of the injection of DiNovo~? prebiotic on the production parameters of broiler chickens(body weight, FCR, EBI and mortality) obtained on d 42 of rearing. No significant impact of the DiNovo~? injection on the duodenum weight and length was observed, as wel as on the CSA, diameter and muscular layer thickness of the duodenum. The in ovo injection of DiNovo~? significantly increased the width of the duodenal vil i(P < 0.05) and crypt depth(P < 0.01) of chickens on d 21 of rearing. Other histomorphological parameters of duodenal vil i at d 42 of chickens rearing such as: the height, width, and cross section area of vil i were significantly greater in chickens from the control group compared to those from the DiNovo~? group(P < 0.05 and P < 0.01).Conclusions: In conclusion, this study demonstrates that injection of DiNovo~? prebiotic into the air chamber of egg significantly influences the histomorphological parameters on d 21 of rearing without negatively affecting productivity in chickens at the end of rearing.

文摘Permeability sensitivity to stress experiments were conducted on standard core samples taken from Wen 23 Gas Storage at multi-cycle injection and production conditions of the gas storage to study the change pattern of stress sensitivity of permeability.A method for calculating permeability under overburden pressure in the multi-cycle injection and production process was proposed,and the effect of stress sensitivity of reservoir permeability on gas well injectivity and productivity in UGS was analyzed.Retention rate of permeability decreased sharply first and then slowly with the increase of the UGS cycles.The stress sensitivity index of permeability decreased with the increase of cycle number of net stress variations in the increase process of net stress.The stress sensitivity index of permeability hardly changed with the increase of cycle number of net stress variations in the decrease process of net stress.With the increase of cycle number of net stress variation,the stress sensitivity index of permeability in the increase process of net stress approached that in the decrease process of net stress.The lower the reservoir permeability,the greater the irreversible permeability loss rate,the stronger the cyclic stress sensitivity,and the higher the stress sensitivity index of the reservoir,the stronger the reservoir stress sensitivity.The gas zones with permeability lower than 0.3’10-3 mm2 are not suitable as gas storage regions.Stress sensitivity of reservoir permeability has strong impact on gas well injectivity and productivity and mainly in the first few cycles.

文摘Inner Mongolia is abundant in geothermal resources,but the development and utilization of medium-depth geothermal resources for clean heating in winter is still in the preliminary stage compared with the neighboring provinces.In this paper,a recently developed geothermal heating system using the Mesozoic sandstone reservoirs in Baokang of Kailu Basin,Eastern Inner Mongolia was investigated,a threedimensional geological model of a pair of production and injection well was established,and numerical simulations on the long term operation performance were conducted and verified by pumping test and water level recovery test data.The effects of flow rates,the direction of wells,injection temperature and ratios on the flow field and water level in the thermal reservoir were analyzed.The results show that considering a 30-year operation period and a production rate from 90 m^(3)/h to 110 m^(3)/h,the optimum well spacing can be increased from 225 m to 245 m,with an average value of 235 m.With the decrease of the injection temperature,the cold front of the injection water has an increasing influence on the temperature in the production well.A complete injection or the principle of production according to injection is recommended in order to maintain the long-term operation stability.In addition,the location of the injection well should be arranged in the downstream of the natural flow field.The present results can provide a useful guide for the optimum design and performance prediction of geothermal wells,thus maintaining the production and injection balance and promoting the sustainable development and utilization of medium-depth and deep geothermal resources.

文摘A dynamic transient flow analysis method considering complex factors such as the cyclic injection and production history in a gas field storage facility was established in view of the limitations of the existing methods for transient flow analysis and the characteristics of the injection-production operation of strongly heterogeneous gas reservoirs, and the corresponding theoretical charts were drawn. In addition, an injection-production dynamic transient flow analysis model named "three points and two stages" suitable for an underground gas storage(UGS) well with alternate working conditions was proposed. The "three points" refer to three time points during cyclic injection and production, namely, the starting point of gas injection for UGS construction, the beginning and ending points of the injection-production analysis stage;and the "two stages" refer to historical flow stage and injection-production analysis stage. The study shows that the dimensionless pseudo-pressure and dimensionless pseudo-pressure integral curves of UGS well flex downward in the early stage of the injection and production process, and the dimensionless pseudo-pressure integral derivative curve is convex during the gas production period and concave during the gas injection period, and the curves under different flow histories have atypical features. The new method present in this paper can analyze transient flow of UGS accurately. The application of this method to typical wells in Hutubi gas storage shows that the new method can fit the pressure history accurately, and obtain reliable parameters and results.

文摘The paper proposes a biomass cross-upgrading process that combines hydrothermal carbonization and pyrolysis to produce high-quality blast furnace injection fuel.The results showed that after upgrading,the volatile content of biochar ranged from 16.19%to 45.35%,and the alkali metal content,ash content,and specific surface area were significantly reduced.The optimal route for biochar pro-duction is hydrothermal carbonization-pyrolysis(P-HC),resulting in biochar with a higher calorific value,C=C structure,and increased graphitization degree.The apparent activation energy(E)of the sample ranges from 199.1 to 324.8 kJ/mol,with P-HC having an E of 277.8 kJ/mol,lower than that of raw biomass,primary biochar,and anthracite.This makes P-HC more suitable for blast furnace injection fuel.Additionally,the paper proposes a path for P-HC injection in blast furnaces and calculates potential environmental benefits.P-HC of-fers the highest potential for carbon emission reduction,capable of reducing emissions by 96.04 kg/t when replacing 40wt%coal injec-tion.
文摘OBJECTIVE Compound Kushen injection(CKI)is a bis-herbal formulation extracted from Kushen(Radix Sophorae Flavescentis)and Baituling(Rhizoma Heterosmilacis Japonicae).Clinically,it is used as the adjuvant treatment of cancer.However,with the increased application,the cases of immediate hypersensitivity reactions(IHRs)also gradually rise.In this study,we investigated the underlying mechanism(s)and active constituent(s)for CKI-induced IHRs in experimental models.METHODS T helper 2(Th2)immunity-amplified mice were prepared by aluminum adjuvant.Anaphylactic shock was detected by measuring rectal thermometry in propranolol pretreated mice.For evaluating microvascular permeability,Evans blue extravasation assay was used.Platelet-activating factor(PAF),serum total IgE(tIgE)and mouse mast cell protease 1(MMCP1)were measured by ELISA.RESULTS The obtained results showed that CKI did not elevate serum tIgE and MMCP1 after consecutive immunization for five weeks,but could induce Evans blue extravasation(local)and cause obvious hypothermia(systemic)after a single injection.Further study showed that alkaloids in Kushen,especially matrine,were responsible for CKI-induced IHRs.Mechanism study showed that various PAF receptor antagonists could significantly counter CKI-induced IHRs locally or systemically.In cell system,CKI was able to promote PAF production in a non-cell-selective manner.In cell lysate,the effect of CKI on PAF production became stronger and could be abolished by blocking de novo pathway.CONCLUSION In conclusion,our study identifies,for the first time,that CKI is a PAF inducer.It causes non-immunologic IHRs,rather than IgE-dependent IHRs,by promoting PAF production through de novo pathway.Alkaloids in Kushen,especially matrine,are the prime culprits for IHRs.Our findings may provide a potential approach for preventing and treating CKI-induced IHRs.
文摘As the conventional prediction methods for production of waterflooding reservoirs have some drawbacks, a production forecasting model based on artificial neural network was proposed, the simulation process by this method was presented, and some examples were illustrated. A workflow that involves a physics-based extraction of features was proposed for fluid production forecasting to improve the prediction effect. The Bayesian regularization algorithm was selected as the training algorithm of the model. This algorithm, although taking longer time, can better generalize oil, gas and water production data sets. The model was evaluated by calculating mean square error and determination coefficient, drawing error distribution histogram and the cross-plot between simulation data and verification data etc. The model structure was trained, validated and tested with 90% of the historical data, and blindly evaluated using the remaining. The predictive model consumes minimal information and computational cost and is capable of predicting fluid production rate with a coefficient of determination of more than 0.9, which has the simulation results consistent with the practical data.

文摘Carbon emission reduction and clean energy development are urgent demands for mankind in the coming decades.Exploring an efficient CO_(2) storage method can significantly reduce CO_(2) emissions in the short term.In this study,we attempted to construct sediment samples with different residual CH_(4) hydrate amounts and reservoir conditions,and then investigate the potentials of both CO_(2) storage and enhanced CH_(4) recovery in depleted gas hydrate deposits in the permafrost and ocean zones,respectively.The results demonstrate that CO_(2) hydrate formation rate can be significantly improved due to the presence of residual hydrate seeds;However,excessive residual hydrates in turn lead to the decrease in CO_(2) storage efficiency.Affected by the T-P conditions of the reservoir,the storage amount of liquid CO_(2) can reach 8 times that of gaseous CO_(2),and CO_(2) stored in hydrate form reaches 2-4 times.Additionally,we noticed two other advantages of this method.One is that CO_(2) injection can enhance CH_(4) recovery rate and increases CH_(4) recovery by 10%-20%.The second is that hydrate saturation in the reservoir can be restored to 20%-40%,which means that the solid volume of the reservoir avoids serious shrinkage.Obviously,this is crucial for protecting the goaf stability.In summary,this approach is greatly promising for high-efficient CO_(2) storage and safe exploitation of gas hydrate.

文摘Background: Cytoplasmic injection of exogenous DNA into zygotes is a promising technique to generate transgenic livestock. However, it is still relatively inefficient and has not yet been demonstrated to work in buffalo. We sought to improve two key technical parameters of the procedure, namely i) how much linear DNA to inject and ii) when to inject it. For this, we introduced a constitutively expressed enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) plasmid into buffalo zygotes. Results: First, we found that the proportion of EGFP-expressing blastocysts derived from zygotes injected with 20 or 50 ng/pL DNA was significantly higher than from those injected with 5 pg/mL. However, 50 ng/pL exogenous DNA compromised blastocyst development compared to non-injected IVF controls. Therefore the highest net yield of EGFP-positive blastocysts was achieved at 20 ng/pL DNA. Second, zygotes injected early (7-8 h post-insemination [hpi]) developed better than those injected at mid (12-13 hpi) or late (18-19 hpi) time points. Blastocysts derived from early injections were also more frequently EGFP-positive. As a consequence, the net yield of EGFP-expressing blastocysts was more than doubled using early vs late injections (16.4 % vs 7.7 %). With respect to blastocyst quality, we found no significant difference in cell numbers of EGFP-positive blastocysts vs non-injected blastocysts. Following embryo transfer of six EGFP-positive blastocysts into four recipient animals, two viable buffalo calves were born. Biopsied ear tissues from both buffalo calves were analyzed for transgene presence and expression by Southern blot, PCR and confocal laser scanning microscopy, respectively. This confirmed that both calves were transgenic. Conclusions: Our cytoplasmic injection protocol improved generation of transgenic embryos and resulted in the first transgenic buffalo calves produced by this method.
