挥发性脂肪酸在拮抗艰难梭菌定居菌群屏障中的作用

应用气相色谱技术分析几种不同动物盲肠内含物中的挥发性脂肪酸(VFA)浓度,并检验了体内外VFA 对艰难梭菌的抑菌作用。结果表明严格厌氧菌是肠道VFA 的主要产生菌;单VFA 无法抑制艰难梭菌在肠道中的定居,必定还存在其他作用机制。     

Luminescence of carbon nanotube bulbs

Carbon nanotube (CNT) bulbs made of decimeter-scale double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT) strands and films were fabricated and their luminescence properties, including the lighting efficiency, voltage-current relation and thermal stability were investigated. The results show that the DWCNT bulb has a comparable spectrum of visible light with tungsten bulb and its average efficiency is 40% higher than that of a tungsten filament at the same temperature (1400―2300 K). The nanotube filaments show both resistance and thermal stability over a large temperature region. No obvious damage was found for a nanotube bulb illuminating at 2300 K for more than 24 hours in vacuum.     

Spread of double-walled carbon nanotube membrane

A single-layer double-walled carbon nanotube (DWNT) membrane, with 100 cm2 in area, 50 nm in thickness, was spread by adding a few drops of ethanol (or acetone) on the purified DWNTs. Compared with acetone, ethanol is more efficient in spreading DWNT films. The spreading rate of DWNT mem-brane increases with the ethanol concentration, and it also first increases with temperature (below 60℃), then decreases as the temperature rises to above 60℃.
