Role of serotonin in the hepato-gastroIntestinal tract: an old molecule for new perspectives

Beside its role as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, serotonin appears to be a central physiologic mediator of many gastrointestinal (GI) functions and a mediator of the brain-gut connection. By acting directly and via modulation of the enteric nervous system, serotonin has numerous effects on the GI tract. The main gut disturbances in which serotonin is involved are acute chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, carcinoid syndrome and irritable bowel syndrome. Serotonin also has mitogenic properties. Platelet-derived serotonin is involved in liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy. In diseased liver, serotonin may play a crucial role in the progression of hepatic fibrosis and the pathogenesis of steatohepatitis. Better understanding of the role of the serotonin receptor subtypes and serotonin mechanisms of action in the liver and gut may open new therapeutic strategies in hepato-gastrointestinal diseases.

应力比对脆性材料断裂影响及应变断裂准则验证

应用材料破坏分析软件MFPA2D(material failure process analysis),模拟了平面应力下双向应力比不断变化条件下脆性材料的不同破坏失稳过程,并以玻璃为例,重点研究了其在复杂应力状态下不同双向应力比对脆性材料裂纹扩展和断裂的影响. 研究结果表明,裂纹失稳扩展时的应力强度因子值随着双向应力比的升高而升高. 该结果证明双向应力确实对脆性材料的断裂韧性有影响. 理论分析得出的应变失效准则与数值模拟研究结果及试验结果的比较研究表明,应变失效准则作为脆性材料在双向应力下的断裂准则是可行的.     

酸解法对甘氨酸母液脱色后废活性炭的再生研究

在用海因法生产甘氨酸的过程中,为了精制甘氨酸,需要用大量的活性炭对甘氨酸母液进行脱色,而脱色后的活性炭就成了废活性炭.为了实现废活性炭的再利用,针对此废活性炭用酸解法对其进行再生.研究了再生酸种类、浓度、用量、再生温度和再生时间等对废活性炭再生效果的影响,确定了适宜的再生条件:硫酸质量分数为70％,硫酸溶液与废活性炭的...

电刺激小脑顶核对大鼠心肌梗死后心脏神经再生的影响

探讨预先电刺激小脑顶核(FNS)对大鼠心肌梗死(MI)后心脏神经再生的干预作用。将90只Wistar大鼠随机分为:①MI组,结扎左冠状动脉前降支(LAD);②预先电刺激小脑顶核后再予以LAD结扎组(FNS MI组);③毁损小脑顶核后电刺激该部位,再行LAD结扎组(FNL FNS MI组)。各组又分MI后1,7,21d3个时间点。另设假手术组(Sham组)。应用免疫组织化学方法显示心脏组织胆碱乙酰转移酶(CHAT)和酪氨酸羟化酶(TH)。检测各时间点梗死区与非梗死区TH、CHAT阳性神经纤维分布密度,MI组与Sham组相比显著减少(P<0.01);FNS MI组较MI组显著增多(P<0.05);FNL FNS MI组与MI组比较无显著性差异(P>0.05)。因此,电刺激小脑顶核可增加梗死区和非梗死区心肌组织TH、CHAT染色阳性神经纤维密度,促进MI后心脏神经纤维再生。     

橡胶支座水平剪切弹塑性力学性能试验研究

通过对铅芯橡胶支座剪切弹塑性力学性能试验,发现铅芯橡胶支座的滞回曲线与加载时程密切相关,在同一水平应变下,水平剪切刚度随加载次数的增多有所减小,最后趋于稳定;在不同应变下,水平剪切刚度随应变的增大而减小.试验还表明铅芯橡胶支座不仅在大应变存在着小应变滞回特性,而且在小应变也存在着小应变滞回特性.     

Effects of mechanical strain amplitude on the isothermal fatigue behavior of H13

Isothermal fatigue (IF) tests were performed on H13 tool steel subjected to three different mechanical strain amplitudes at a constant temperature to determine the effects of mechanical strain amplitude on the microstructure of the steel samples. The samples' extent of damage after IF tests was compared by observation of their cracks and calculation of their damage parameters. Optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to observe the microstructure of the samples. Cracks were observed to initiate at the surface because the strains and stresses there were the largest during thermal cycling. Mechanical strain accelerated the damage and softening of the steel. A larger mechanical strain caused greater deformation of the steel, which made the precipitated carbides easier to gather and grow along the deformation direction, possibly resulting in softening of the material or the initiation of cracks.     

工业锅炉排污水的有效利用

锅炉水处理工作中的排污水具有一定的热量，同时因其碱度值高，硬度值低（或者为零）等特点，应该有效地加以利用，这也和我国目前的节能、减排、增效的能源政策相符合。本文针对目前工业锅炉的排污水的现状，从节能环保的角度，提出了排污水的几种合理的利用途径。
