Kinetic evaluation of the size-dependent decomposition performance of solvent-free microcellular polylactic acid foams

A thermal gravimetric method is described for evaluating the kinetics of cell size-dependent decomposition and lifetime estima- tion for microcellular tissue engineering scaffolds made of biodegradable polylactic acid(PLA)foams.PLA foam cell sizes from 550 to 20?m were fabricated experimentally using a solvent-free solid-state foaming technique under saturation pressures from 1 to 5 MPa.The thermal properties of the PLA foams with respect to the cell sizes were measured using thermal gravimetric analy- sis in a nitrogen atmosphere and the activation energy and pre-exponential factor were derived to evaluate the decomposition ki- netics and estimate lifetime.It was found that small cell sizes can be achieved under high saturation pressures and that the thermal stability of PLA decreases after the fabrication process.The cell size-dependent thermal stability and degradation rate indicate that a PLA foam of larger cell sizes has a shorter degradation time,a few tenths that of the PLA raw material,at a temperature of 37°C. The results suggest that it is feasible to optimize fabrication parameters to obtain appropriate cell sizes and lifetimes that satisfy the application requirements for various organs.This study provides the basis for precise scaffold design and quantitative analysis of PLA foams in tissue engineering applications.

Dynamic Analysis of Cable Roofs Under Transient Wind:A Comparison Between Time Domain and Frequency Domain Approaches

At present, high-speed computing capabilities and advanced nonlinear dynamic finite element procedures enable detailed dynamic analysis of cable structures. Although deterministic approaches require considerable analysis time and effort in relation to modeling, running, and data processing, they seem to be the only alternative to obtain high accuracy. Detailed dynamic analysis of cable roof networks is sophisticated and requires advanced modeling expertise. This paper presents a comparison between detailed nonlinear dynamic analysis and a simplified frequency domain approach to estimate the maximum probable response of weakly nonlinear cable roofs. The approach can be considered as alternative to detailed time-domain analysis in the preliminary design phase, or can be used to validate results obtained from more elaborated numerical models. The proposed method is illustrated with two examples of cable net roofs that were also analysed in the time domain.     

氯化镁用于染料废水的脱色研究

Novel phototherapeutic agents： Investigation and progress of hypocrellin derivatives

Hypocrellins, as a kind of novel phototherapeutic agents, have several advantages over the clinically used hematoporphyrin derivatives, including high-excited triplet state yield, high phototoxicity, low dark toxicity, and rapid metabolism. However, they exhibit little absorption in the photodynamic window (600--900 nm) and are not water soluble, which limits their application in photodynamic therapy. Sulfonated and metal-ioned hypocrellins have been designed and synthesized to improve their water solubility.Unfortunately, the water-soluble derivatives obtained exhibit lower photodynamic activity than the parent hypocrellins.Thiolated and aminated hypocrellins have also been designed and synthesized to enlarge their photoresponse. Among them,the aminated hypocrellins possess the highest photodynamic activity. We recently have further designed and synthesized some amphiphilic aminated hypocrellin derivatives. Thus,not only the photoresponse but also the water solubility is enhanced. The experiments in vitro and in vivo on the derivatives are under way at present.
