    Notes: Melt spinning has been used to prepare superconducting R-Ba-Cu-O compounds with R=Y, Er, Dy, and Gd. The starting materials were sintered R-Ba-Cu-O samples, and most of them were not superconducting above 77 K. The melt-spun samples had a spherical shape with a diameter in the range of 0.1–2.0 mm. The samples were annealed in air at about 900 °C for 1 h. Samples with diameter greater than 1.5 mm were found to be not superconducting. The critical temperatures were found to be in the range of 60–88 K.

    Therapeutic effects of nilvadipine on rat focal cerebral ischemia (1994)
    Springer
    Experimental brain research 99 (1994), S. 1-6

    ISSN: 1432-1106
    Keywords: Nilvadipine ; Ca2+ entry blocker Focal cerebral ischemia ; Therapeutic effect ; Rat

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract The present study was conducted to invetigate the therapeutic effects of nilvadipine, a Ca2+ entry blocker, on rat focal cerebral ischemia. Under halothane anesthesia, a 3-0 nylon thread was introduced into the neck internal carotid artery to occlude the left middle cerebral artery. Either nilvadipine (3.2 mg/kg) or vehicle was administered subcutaneously 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 h following the occlusion (groups 1–6, respectively). Twenty-four hours after the occlusion, the percentage infarct volumes in nilvadipine-treated animals in groups 1–3 (21±11%, 24±11%, and 26±7%, respectively) were smaller than those in the respective control groups (36±5%, 35±3%, and 35+3%; P〈0.05). Compared with controls, the infarct size of the periphery of the fronto-parietal cortex decreased in nilvadipine-treated animals. The results indicate that nilvadipine decreases the size of infarction when administered up to 3 h after an ischemic insult. Thus, nilvadipine can be considered a potential therapeutic agent for acute focal cerebral ischemia, and may be clinically useful in stroke patients.

    Blockade of Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway Aggravated Silica-Induced Lung Inflammation through Tregs Regulation on Th Immune Responses (2016)
    Hindawi
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-03-17
    Description: CD4+ T cells play an important role in regulating silica-induced inflammation and fibrosis. Recent studies showed that Wnt/β-catenin pathway could modulate the function and the differentiation of CD4+ T cells. Therefore, Wnt/β-catenin pathway may participate in the development and progress of silicosis. To investigate the role of Wnt/β-catenin pathway, we used lentivirus expressing β-catenin shRNA to block the Wnt/β-catenin pathway by intratracheal instillation to the mice model of silicosis. Treatment of lentivirus could significantly aggravate the silica-induced lung inflammation and attenuated the fibrosis at the late stage. By analyzing CD4+ T cells, we found that blockade of Wnt/β-catenin pathway suppressed regulatory T cells (Tregs). Reciprocally, enhanced Th17 response was responsible for the further accumulation of neutrophils and production of proinflammatory cytokines. In addition, blockade of Wnt/β-catenin pathway delayed the Th1/Th2 polarization by inhibiting Tregs and Th2 response. These results indicated that Wnt/β-catenin pathway could regulate Tregs to modulate Th immune response, which finally altered the pathological character of silicosis. Our study suggested that Wnt/β-catenin pathway might be a potential target to treat the silica-induced inflammation and fibrosis.

    Forests, Vol. 9, Pages 227: Responses of the Carbon Storage and Sequestration Potential of Forest Vegetation to Temperature Increases in Yunnan Province, SW China (2018)

    Description: Forests, Vol. 9, Pages 227: Responses of the Carbon Storage and Sequestration Potential of Forest Vegetation to Temperature Increases in Yunnan Province, SW China Forests doi: 10.3390/f9050227 Authors: Ruiwu Zhou Wangjun Li Yiping Zhang Mingchun Peng Chongyun Wang Liqing Sha Yuntong Liu Qinghai Song Xuehai Fei Yanqiang Jin Jinbo Gao Youxing Lin John Grace Shusen Wang The distribution of forest vegetation and forest carbon sequestration potential are significantly influenced by climate change. In this study, a map of the current distribution of vegetation in Yunnan Province was compiled based on data from remote sensing imagery from the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) from 2008 to 2011. A classification and regression tree (CART) model was used to predict the potential distribution of the main forest vegetation types in Yunnan Province and estimate the changes in carbon storage and carbon sequestration potential (CSP) in response to increasing temperature. The results show that the current total forest area in Yunnan Province is 1.86 × 107 ha and that forest covers 48.63% of the area. As the temperature increases, the area of forest distribution first increases and then decreases, and it decreases by 11% when the temperature increases from 1.5 to 2 °C. The mean carbon density of the seven types of forest vegetation in Yunnan Province is 84.69 Mg/ha. The total carbon storage of the current forest vegetation in Yunnan Province is 871.14 TgC, and the CSP is 1100.61 TgC. The largest CSP (1114.82 TgC) occurs when the temperature increases by 0.5 °C. Incremental warming of 2 °C will sharply decrease the forest CSP, especially in those regions with mature coniferous forest vegetation. Semi-humid evergreen broad-leaved forests were highly sensitive to temperature changes, and the CSP of these forests will decrease with increasing temperature. Warm-hot coniferous forests have the greatest CSP in all simulation scenarios except the scenario of a 2 °C temperature increase. These results indicate that temperature increases can influence the CSP in Yunnan Province, and the largest impact emerged in the 2 °C increase scenario.

    Research on the Development Approach for Reusable Model in Parallel Discrete Event Simulation (2015)
    Hindawi
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-06-11
    Description: Model reuse is an essential means to meet the demand of model development in complex simulation. An effective approach to realize the model reusability is to establish standard model specification including interface specification and representation specification. By standardizing model’s external interfaces, Reusable Component Model Framework (RCMF) achieves the model reusability acting as an interface specification. However, the RCMF model is presently developed just through manual programing. Besides implementing model’s business logic, modeler should also ensure the model strictly following the reusable framework, which is very distracting. And there lacks model description information for instructing model reuse or integration. To address these issues, we first explored an XML-based model description file which completed RCMF as the model representation and then proposed a RCMF model development tool—SuKit. Model description file describes a RCMF model and can be used for regenerating a model and instructing model integration. SuKit can generate a skeleton RCMF model together with a model-customized description file with the configured information. Modeler then just needs to concentrate on the model processing logic. The case study indicates that SuKit has good capability of developing RCMF models and the well-formed description file can be used for model reuse and integration.
