The relationship between the bulkiness and the warmth retention property was also tested. The analytical results reveal that the increase of the powder content, heating temperature and pressure will affect the tensile strength of nonwovens. Moreover, there are interactions between these parameters. The compression properties only change a little for a powder binder content of 15%—20%. However, with the increase of the heating temperature and pressure, the bulkiness and compression rate will reduce significantly. For the bulk density of high loft nonwoven fabrics, there exists a heat transter mechanism of air convection, but the higher the bulkiness of nonwovens, the larger the thickness and the better the warmth retention property of nonwoven fabrics.展开更多

Inherent viscosities of polyamides were in the range 0.42-0.53 dL/g indicating formation of medium molecular weight polymers. Polyamides exhibited glass-transition temperature (Tg) in the range 236-265 ℃. These polymers are essentially amorphous and were soluble in polar aprotic solvents such as DMF, NMP, DMAc.

Methods One hundred and forty-five patients with cervical squamous cancer stagesⅠb-Ⅱa were investigated, among which17 patients with bulky tumors (≥4 cm) were managed by cisplatin-based chemotherapy for 1-2 courses followed by radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy (BC group). The change of tumor size, pelvic lymph nodes metastasis, cervical wall invasion, the involvement of surgical specimen margin, and the blood loss during operation were assessed after opera-tion and compared with those in 51 patients with bulky tumors (BN group) and 77 patients with small local tumors (S group) who underwent surgery directly. Results (1) The tumor size of 17 patients in BC group were decreased in various degrees after chemotherapy, with 13 pati-ents of clinical effectiveness (76.47%). And the responsiveness pertained to neither histological differentiation nor size of local tumors. (2) Post-operative histology has showed that patients in BC and BN group have higher incidence of lymph node metastasis and deep cervical infiltration (5/68 and 3/68, respectively) than in S group (1/77 and 1/77, respectively) while with no statistical significance. (3) Blood loss during operation in BC group was less than BN and S group. (4) Seventeen patients, including those underwent surgeries of vaginal prolongation and/or ovarian transposition, appeared disease-free survival within the follow-up time. Conclusions Most of patients with bulky early stage cervical squamous carcinoma are sensitive to cisplatin-based chem-otherapy, which could greatly reduce local tumor size and in turn facilitate the following operation by well controlling blood loss.展开更多

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment of patients with early invasive cancer confined to cervix. While the five-year survival rate after surgery for stage IB1 disease exceeds 90%, it is only 60% - 70% for stage IB2 and IIA2 (tumor size > 4 cm). To improve the outcome of treatment, two to three cycles of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NACT) has been evaluated as a treatment strategy in stage IB2 and IIA2 diseases. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by Radical Surgery (RS) among the patients with early bulky cervical cancer (Stage IB2 & IIA2) to reduce the tumor size to achieve radical resectibility. Methods: This study was carried out at the Gynaecological Oncology Division of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (B中央人民政府) during the period July 2015 to December 2015. Thirty-eight patients with early bulky cervical cancer without any prior medical or surgical treatment received NACT using intravenous paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 and cisplatin 75 mg/m2 followed by radical surgery. The primary outcome measure assessed the response to NACT to reduce the size of the tumor. Secondary outcome measures assessed the resectibility of tumor and compared the preoperative clinical stage to the postoperative pathological stage. This study also assessed the relationship of intraoperative and postoperative complications including the adverse effects of postoperative radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy. Results: Clinical response to NACT was 94.7% (84.2% complete response + 10.5% partial response). Progressive disease was found in two cases (5.3%). Duration of surgery was less than 2 hours in 81.6% cases and greater than 3 hours in 13.2% cases only. All women lived 5 to 10 hours away from Dhaka and could not return for in person follow-up. It was possible to get telephone follow-up on twenty-four women (63%). Seven (29%) had died from their cancers within one year of their surgery. Seventeen women were alive and disease free two years after completeion of their treatment. Conclusion: NACT is a feasible approach for improving the resectability of early stage bulky cervical cancer at B中央人民政府.展开更多

Under the same condition, The photo-to-electrical conversion efficiency of the DSSCs sensitized with TB, TS and TF reach 1.84%, 4.10% and 4.52%, respectively, which are lower than that sensitized with RI (5.02%) with one triphenylamine unit. The results suggest that these bulky donor-based sensitizers are unfavorable to DSSCs.展开更多

文摘Objective To investigate the potential role of preoperative adjuvant chemotherapy on early stage cervical squamous carcinoma with bulky tumor. Methods One hundred and forty-five patients with cervical squamous cancer stagesⅠb-Ⅱa were investigated, among which17 patients with bulky tumors (≥4 cm) were managed by cisplatin-based chemotherapy for 1-2 courses followed by radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy (BC group). The change of tumor size, pelvic lymph nodes metastasis, cervical wall invasion, the involvement of surgical specimen margin, and the blood loss during operation were assessed after opera-tion and compared with those in 51 patients with bulky tumors (BN group) and 77 patients with small local tumors (S group) who underwent surgery directly. Results (1) The tumor size of 17 patients in BC group were decreased in various degrees after chemotherapy, with 13 pati-ents of clinical effectiveness (76.47%). And the responsiveness pertained to neither histological differentiation nor size of local tumors. (2) Post-operative histology has showed that patients in BC and BN group have higher incidence of lymph node metastasis and deep cervical infiltration (5/68 and 3/68, respectively) than in S group (1/77 and 1/77, respectively) while with no statistical significance. (3) Blood loss during operation in BC group was less than BN and S group. (4) Seventeen patients, including those underwent surgeries of vaginal prolongation and/or ovarian transposition, appeared disease-free survival within the follow-up time. Conclusions Most of patients with bulky early stage cervical squamous carcinoma are sensitive to cisplatin-based chem-otherapy, which could greatly reduce local tumor size and in turn facilitate the following operation by well controlling blood loss.

文摘To achieve high power conversion efficiency(PCE),three porphyrin sensitizers have been synthesized and explored to simultaneously enhance the photocurrent(JSC)and photovoltage(VOC).On basis of the XW4,a benzothiadiazole(BTD)unit has been introduced to afford XW57 with the aim to extend the absorption wavelength and enhance the light harvesting ability.As a result,a JSC of 13.72 mA/cm^2 has been obtained for XW57,higher than that of XW4.On this basis,XW58 has been prepared by modifying the carbazole-based donor with two bulky dihexyloxyphenyl groups,and the superior anti-aggregation character raises the VOC from 781 mV(XW4)to 844 mV.When both the BTD unit and the bulky groups are introduced to the acceptor and donor units,respectively,the resulting sensitizer XW59 exhibits a highest PCE value of 7.34%with synergistically enhanced JSC of 13.19 mA/cm^2 and VOC of 793 mV.These results provide further insight into developing high performance dye-sensitized solar cells.

文摘Tetrahydrobenzo[5]helicenediol(THB-[5]HDIOL) derivatives as additives for the efficient prolinecatalyzed asymmetric List-Lerner-Barbas(LLB) aldol reactions of bulky aldehyde substrates was described. It was found that with dibromo-substituted helical diols P-4 a/M-4 a as additives, the prolinecatalyzed LLB aldol reaction of 9-anthraldehyde and acetone gave the product in 83% yield and 99% ee.Transition state models revealed an edge-to-face p-p stacking between the anthracenyl group in TS(R)and the phenyl group of the additive, which might result in the high enantioselectivity.
文摘Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common malignancy of women in Bangladesh. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment of patients with early invasive cancer confined to cervix. While the five-year survival rate after surgery for stage IB1 disease exceeds 90%, it is only 60% - 70% for stage IB2 and IIA2 (tumor size > 4 cm). To improve the outcome of treatment, two to three cycles of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NACT) has been evaluated as a treatment strategy in stage IB2 and IIA2 diseases. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by Radical Surgery (RS) among the patients with early bulky cervical cancer (Stage IB2 & IIA2) to reduce the tumor size to achieve radical resectibility. Methods: This study was carried out at the Gynaecological Oncology Division of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (B中央人民政府) during the period July 2015 to December 2015. Thirty-eight patients with early bulky cervical cancer without any prior medical or surgical treatment received NACT using intravenous paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 and cisplatin 75 mg/m2 followed by radical surgery. The primary outcome measure assessed the response to NACT to reduce the size of the tumor. Secondary outcome measures assessed the resectibility of tumor and compared the preoperative clinical stage to the postoperative pathological stage. This study also assessed the relationship of intraoperative and postoperative complications including the adverse effects of postoperative radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy. Results: Clinical response to NACT was 94.7% (84.2% complete response + 10.5% partial response). Progressive disease was found in two cases (5.3%). Duration of surgery was less than 2 hours in 81.6% cases and greater than 3 hours in 13.2% cases only. All women lived 5 to 10 hours away from Dhaka and could not return for in person follow-up. It was possible to get telephone follow-up on twenty-four women (63%). Seven (29%) had died from their cancers within one year of their surgery. Seventeen women were alive and disease free two years after completeion of their treatment. Conclusion: NACT is a feasible approach for improving the resectability of early stage bulky cervical cancer at B中央人民政府.

文摘BACKGROUND Para-aortic lymph nodes(PALNs)are common sites for the regional spread of cervical squamous cell carcinoma(SCC).CASE SUMMARY We report the case of a 36-year-old woman who presented with cervical SCC with multiple bulky PALNs,largest measured 4.5 cm×5 cm×10 cm.The patient was treated with radical intent with definitive chemoradiation using sequential doseescalated adaptive radiotherapy,followed by maintenance chemotherapy.The patient achieved a complete response;she has been doing well since the completion of treatment with no evidence of the disease for 2 years.CONCLUSION Regardless of the size of PALN metastases of cervical carcinoma origin,it is still treatable(with radical intent)via concurrent chemoradiation.Adaptive radiotherapy allows dose escalation with minimal toxicity.
文摘In the electronic age,traditional collections of geological specimens as in museums,and bulky materials as in drill core“libraries”,lag behind the general progress as they require more space to keep and labour to maintain.This results in liquidation of some established collections and near-sequestration of others so that physical access to material for study and research is severely restricted.

文摘Tailoring multiple degrees-of-freedom(DoFs)to achieve high-dimensional laser field is crucial for advancing optical technologies.While recent advancements have demonstrated the ability to manipulate a limited number of DoFs,most existing methods rely on bulky optical components or intricate systems that employ time-consuming iterative methods and,most critically,the on-demand tailoring of multiple DoFs simultaneously through a compact,single element—remains underexplored.In this study,we propose an intelligent hybrid strategy that enables the simultaneous and customizable manipulation of six DoFs:wave vector,initial phase,spatial mode,amplitude,orbital angular momentum(OAM)and spin angular momentum(SAM).Our approach advances in phase-only property,which facilitates tailoring strategy experimentally demonstrated on a compact metasurface.A fabricated sample is tailored to realize arbitrary manipulation across six DoFs,constructing a 288-dimensional space.Notably,since the OAM eigenstates constitute an infinite dimensional Hilbert space,this proposal can be further extended to even higher dimensions.Proof-of-principle experiments confirm the effectiveness in manipulation capability and dimensionality.We envision that this powerful tailoring ability offers immense potential for multifunctional photonic devices across both classical and quantum scenarios and such compactness extending the dimensional capabilities for integration on-chip requirements.

文摘Flat optics have attracted interest for decades due to their flexibility in manipulating optical wave properties,which allows the miniaturization of bulky optical assemblies into integrated planar components.Recent advances in achromatic flat lenses have shown promising applications in various fields.However,it is a significant challenge for achromatic flat lenses with a high numerical aperture to simultaneously achieve broad bandwidth and expand the aperture sizes.Here,we present the zone division multiplex of the meta-atoms on a stepwise phase dispersion compensation(SPDC)layer to address the above challenge.In principle,the aperture size can be freely enlarged by increasing the optical thickness difference between the central and marginal zones of the SPDC layer,without the limit of the achromatic bandwidth.The SPDC layer also serves as the substrate,making the device thinner.Two achromatic flat lenses of 500 nm thickness with a bandwidth of 650–1000 nm are experimentally achieved:one with a numerical aperture of 0.9 and a radius of 20.1µm,and another with a numerical aperture of 0.7 and a radius of 30.0µm.To the best of our knowledge,they are the broadband achromatic flat lenses with highest numerical apertures,the largest aperture sizes and thinnest thickness reported so far.Microscopic imaging with a 1.10µm resolution has also been demonstrated by white light illumination,surpassing any previously reported resolution attained by achromatic metalenses and multi-level diffractive lenses.These unprecedented performances mark a substantial step toward practical applications of flat lenses.

文摘A new series of mono-cyclometalated square planar platinum(Ⅱ) complexes have been synthesized and the single-crystal X-ray structures of complex 1 and 2 have been determined.The complexes have the general formula ppyPt(O^O),where ppy is 2-phenylpyridyl,and O^O is β-diketonate ancillary ligands with the acyl substituent group in position 3 of(D)-(+)-camphor.Although,like the many Pt(Ⅱ) complexes with square-planar geometry,these complexes have plane stacking modes in crystal structure,the sterically bulky camphor-derived groups compel extensive slipping of the molecular stacking planes,resulting in the negligible overlapping of the aromatic ring fragments between molecules and the considerable Pt-Pt distance.The resolved spectra and a little shifted emission in solid state of complexes show that there is significant reduction of π-π interactions and Pt-Pt interactions,and suggest these complexes may be good candidates for doped phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes(PhOLEDs) and even for nondoped PhOLEDs.

文摘Modulation of geometric and electronic structures of supported Pd-based catalysts by forming atomically ordered intermetallic phases enables an effective way to optimize catalytic performance.However,the synthesis of small-sized Pd-based intermetallic nanoparticle catalysts with improved mass-based activity remains formidable challenges,since high-temperature annealing generally required for atom ordering inevitably leads to severe metal sintering and thus large crystallites.Here,we present a bulky nanodiamond-confined method to prepare sub-5 nm Pd_(3)Pb intermetallic nanocatalysts by mitigating metal sintering at high temperatures,which is induced by the electronic interactions between metal and defect-rich graphene shells reinforced by diamond cores in the bulky nanodiamond support.The prepared small-sized Pd_(3)Pb intermetallic catalyst displays a high activity with a turnover frequency of 932 h−1 for the semihydrogenation of phenylacetylene under mild conditions(room temperature,3 bar H_(2)),along with a high selectivity of>96%to styrene near the complete conversion of phenylacetylene.
文摘Three novel donor-n-acceptor (D-π-A) metal-free organic dyes (TB, TS and TF) based on tri(triphenylamine)- substituted styrene as donor with various conjugated linkers (benzene, thiophene and furan) were synthesized, characterized and used for the application of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Under the same condition, The photo-to-electrical conversion efficiency of the DSSCs sensitized with TB, TS and TF reach 1.84%, 4.10% and 4.52%, respectively, which are lower than that sensitized with RI (5.02%) with one triphenylamine unit. The results suggest that these bulky donor-based sensitizers are unfavorable to DSSCs.

文摘E.coli AlkB is a direct DNA/RNA repair protein that oxidatively reverses N1 alkylated purines and N3 alkylated pyrimidines to regular bases.Previous crystal structures have revealed N1-methyl adenine(1-meA) recognition by AlkB and a unique base flipping mechanism,but how the AlkB active site can accommodate bulky base adducts is largely unknown.Employing a previously developed chemical cross-linking technique,we crystallized AlkB with a duplex DNA containing a caged thymine base(cagedT).The structure revealed a flexible hairpin lid and a reorganized substrate recognition loop used by AlkB to accommodate cagedT.These observations demonstrate,at the molecular level,how bulky DNA adducts may be recognized and processed by AlkB.
