Methods: Sixty patients with facial comminuted fractures admitted for treatment between July 2023 and December 2024 were selected. Using a random number table method, 30 patients were assigned to the observation group, where moderate traction using a dental arch splint combined with rigid internal fixation was applied. Another 30 patients were assigned to the control group and only received dental arch splint traction treatment. The total effective rate, postoperative recovery indicators, periodontal status, complication rate, and quality of life scores were compared between the two groups. Results: The total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group. The postoperative recovery indicators and periodontal status in the observation group were superior to those in the control group. The complication rate and quality of life score were lower in the observation group compared to the control group, with P < 0.05. Conclusion: Combining dental arch splint intermaxillary traction with rigid internal fixation can improve the periodontal status and quality of life of patients with facial comminuted fractures, shorten postoperative recovery time, reduce various complications, and enhance surgical efficacy.展开更多

First, the general displacement mode function was setup, then the hypotheses were made that the lateral passive pressure is linear to the corresponding horizontal displacement and the soil behind retaining wall is composed of a set of springs and ideal rigid plasticity body, the general analytical method was proposed to calculate the passive rigid retaining wall pressure based on Coulomb theory. The analytical results show that the resultant forces of the passive earth pressure are equal to those of Coulomb＇s theory, but the distribution of the passive pressure and the position of the resultant force depend on the passive displacement mode parameter, and the former is a parabolic function of the soil depth. The analytical results are also in good agreement with the experimental ones.展开更多

The indexes of mechanical performance, apparent density, thermal stability and aging resistance were separately tested for the prepared PU foams. The results show that the mechanical property, thermal insulation and thermal stability for PU foam with modified alkali lignin are excellent among two kinds of PU foams and control samples. The additions of the refined alkali lignin and modified alkali lignin to PU foam have little effect on the natural aging or heat aging resistance except for decreasing hot alkali resistance apparently. Additionally, the thermal conductivity of modified alkali lignin PU foam is lowest among two kinds of PU foams and control samples. The alkali lignin PU foam modified by 3-chloro-1,2-epoxypropane could be applied in the heat preservation field.展开更多

文摘Hyperuricemia(HUA)is a metabolic disease characterized by high levels of uric acid(UA)in the blood and varying degrees of kidney damage.Desirable nanoliposomes should simultaneously exhibit efficient biocompatibility and effective drug delivery.However,they both usually require special structural properties.Herein,we propose a strategy to prepare nanoliposomes with varying rigidity by replacing cholesterol(CH)with phytosterol esters(PE).The results showed that the particle size of PE naringenin nanoliposomes(PE-NAR)was 179.5 nm,and the encapsulation efficiency(EE)was 79.93%.In atomic force microscopy(AFM)tests,PE-NAR showed a 1-fold increase in rigidity compared to CH naringenin nanoliposomes(CH-NAR).By observing the effects of naringenin nanoliposomes(NAR-NLs)on the physiological and biochemical indicators in HUA mice,we explore its impact on kidney damage and inflammatory pathways in HUA mice.The results show that NAR-NLs significantly inhibit UA levels and improve kidney damage.Compared to oral naringenin,NAR-NLs generally enhance the in vivo antioxidant effects of naringenin.Furthermore,high-rigidity PE-NAR downregulated the renal inflammatory factor interleukin-1β(IL-1β)to 6.67%,demonstrating the highest inhibitory effect.Further experiments have demonstrated that naringenin exerts a protective effect in kidney injury by inhibiting the activation of NOD like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)inflammasome and reducing oxidative stress within the body.In summary,by adjusting the rigidity of the nanoliposomes,the oral administration of naringenin can effectively improve the alleviation of HUA.

文摘The non-scaling effect on the penetration depth of rigid projectiles is an important issue that must be considered when extending the results of scaled experiments to prototype scenes.In this study,the evolution of the stress and strain of the target under penetration was analyzed.Expressions for the penetration resistance and penetration depth were obtained based on the conservation equation and continuity condition of the target.The penetration coefficients that characterize the nose shape,target resistance,and non-scaling effect were defined.Simplified calculation methods for the coefficients within the range of rigid projectile penetration were developed.Two methods for estimating the target parameters are proposed.The results show that the non-scaling effect is related to the failure process of the target and depends on the ratio of cavity radius to comminuted region radius.The nose shape coefficient can be approximated as a linear function of the length-to-diameter ratio of the nose.The noseshape coefficient of a flat-nosed projectile is 0.57.The caliber coefficient is related to the projectile diameter and reflects the non-scaling effect,which increases with the projectile diameter.A practical formula for calculating the penetration depth of rigid projectiles considering the non-scaling effect is also proposed.This formula is in good agreement with penetration experiments on rock and concrete.
基金Special Support Program for Scientific and Technological Talent“Application and Impact of Dental Arch Splint Intermaxillary Traction Combined with Rigid Internal Fixation on Oral Health in Patients with Facial Fractures”(DX2023BR18)。
文摘Objective: To analyze the therapeutic effect of combining dental arch splint intermaxillary traction with rigid internal fixation for the treatment of facial comminuted fractures. Methods: Sixty patients with facial comminuted fractures admitted for treatment between July 2023 and December 2024 were selected. Using a random number table method, 30 patients were assigned to the observation group, where moderate traction using a dental arch splint combined with rigid internal fixation was applied. Another 30 patients were assigned to the control group and only received dental arch splint traction treatment. The total effective rate, postoperative recovery indicators, periodontal status, complication rate, and quality of life scores were compared between the two groups. Results: The total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group. The postoperative recovery indicators and periodontal status in the observation group were superior to those in the control group. The complication rate and quality of life score were lower in the observation group compared to the control group, with P < 0.05. Conclusion: Combining dental arch splint intermaxillary traction with rigid internal fixation can improve the periodontal status and quality of life of patients with facial comminuted fractures, shorten postoperative recovery time, reduce various complications, and enhance surgical efficacy.
文摘The motion of an elliptical rigid particle in a lid-driven cavity flow was numerically simulated using the immersed boundary lattice Boltzmann method(IB-LBM).The effects of the particle's initial orientation angle,initial position,aspect ratio,and size on the motion characteristics were investigated.The computational results indicate that the particle's motion undergoes two distinct stages:a starting stage that involves moving from the release position to a limit cycle,and a periodic stage that involves moving on the limit cycle.The initial orientation of the particle has a minimal impact on both stages of motion.In contrast,the time it takes for the particle to reach the limit cycle may vary depending on the release position.Furthermore,particles with a larger aspect ratio exhibit a greater maximum velocity magnitude;an increase in particle size causes the particle trajectory to contract more toward the center of the cavity,decreasing the centrifugal force experienced by the particle.

文摘This paper proposes a new approach to eliminate aerodynamic lift oscillation,called the Dominant Sector Individual Blade Control(DS-IBC)method for rigid rotor helicopters.An Advancing Blade Concept(ABC)rotor model for aerodynamic analysis based on the free-wake method is applied.DS-IBC avoids applying active control on the rotor's retreating side by employing and restricting active control inputs to a sector area of the rotor disc.Outside this sector,only primary collective and cyclic pitch control are used.Each blade takes turns entering the sector,creating a“relay”active control form to ensure continuous control inputs.The method also includes outer-trim and inner-trim iteration modules.Results show that DS-IBC can eliminate aerodynamic lift oscillation using much smaller control inputs than the sine-trim method.By focusing active control on the rotor's advancing side,DS-IBC improves the effective lift-to-drag ratio and reduces the implementation difficulty of active rotor control for aerodynamic oscillation elimination,especially at a large lift-offset.

文摘The membrane,one of the key components of flow batteries,ideally has high selectivity,conductivity,and stability.However,porous membranes prepared by conventional non-solvent-induced phase separation(NIPS)commonly suffer from low selectivity and poor mechanical stability.Here,we used rigid naphthalene-containing polybenzimidazole(NPBI)to prepare a porous membrane with unique egg-shaped pores by adjusting solvent/non-solvent exchange in NIPS.The dense pores with a size of 3.6Åarranged dispersedly between egg-shaped pores.The rigid NPBI and 3.6-Åsmall pores enabled the membrane high mechanical strength.The thickness was thus decreased to 1.4μm,which exhibited an ultrahigh tensile strength of 463.54 MPa.The dense pores were also smaller than hydrated vanadium ions,achieving a low permeability of 2.28×10^(-7)cm^(2)/h,indicating high selectivity.This is the first time to prepare such a highly selective and mechanically stable ultrathin porous membrane by NIPS.Importantly,the ion-transport pathways in the 1.4μm membrane were shortened,decreasing the area resistance to as low as 0.015Ωcm 2.Demonstrated in a vanadium flow battery,its coulombic efficiency was 98.57%and energy efficiency reached 81.72%at 200 mA/cm 2.This study proposes an effective strategy to prepare highperformance ultrathin porous membranes for flow batteries.
文摘This work reviews models and methods for determining the dynamic response of pavements to moving vehicle loads in the framework of continuum-based three dimensional models and linear theories.This review emphasizes the most representative models and methods of analysis in the existing literature and illustrates all of them by numerical examples.Thus,13 such examples are presented here in some detail.Both flexible and rigid(concrete)pavement models involving simple and elaborate cases with respect to geometry and material behavior are considered.Thus,homogeneous or layered half-spaces with isotropic or cross-anisotropic and elastic,viscoelastic or poroelastic properties are considered.The vehicles are modeled as simple point or distributed loads or discrete spring-mass-dashpot system moving with constant or variable velocity.The dynamic response of the above pavement-vehicle systems is obtained by analytical/numerical or purely numerical methods of solution.Analytical/numerical methods have mainly to do with Fourier transforms or complex Fourier series with respect to both space and time.Purely numerical methods involve the finite element method(FEM)and the boundary element method(BEM)working in time or frequency domain.Critical discussions on the advantages and disadvantages of the various pavement-vehicle models and their methods of analysis are provided and the effects of the main parameters on the pavement response are determined through parametric studies and presented in the examples.Finally,conclusions are provided and suggestions for future research are made.

文摘A general analytical method to calculate the passive rigid retaining wall pressure was deduced considering all displacement modes. First, the general displacement mode function was setup, then the hypotheses were made that the lateral passive pressure is linear to the corresponding horizontal displacement and the soil behind retaining wall is composed of a set of springs and ideal rigid plasticity body, the general analytical method was proposed to calculate the passive rigid retaining wall pressure based on Coulomb theory. The analytical results show that the resultant forces of the passive earth pressure are equal to those of Coulomb＇s theory, but the distribution of the passive pressure and the position of the resultant force depend on the passive displacement mode parameter, and the former is a parabolic function of the soil depth. The analytical results are also in good agreement with the experimental ones.
文摘The two kinds of rigid polyurethane （PU） foams were prepared with respectively adding the refined alkali lignin and alkali lignin modified by 3-chloro-1,2-epoxypropane to be instead of 15% of the polyether glycol in weight. The indexes of mechanical performance, apparent density, thermal stability and aging resistance were separately tested for the prepared PU foams. The results show that the mechanical property, thermal insulation and thermal stability for PU foam with modified alkali lignin are excellent among two kinds of PU foams and control samples. The additions of the refined alkali lignin and modified alkali lignin to PU foam have little effect on the natural aging or heat aging resistance except for decreasing hot alkali resistance apparently. Additionally, the thermal conductivity of modified alkali lignin PU foam is lowest among two kinds of PU foams and control samples. The alkali lignin PU foam modified by 3-chloro-1,2-epoxypropane could be applied in the heat preservation field.
