数值模型结构不确定性对模拟结果的影响分析

以内蒙古鄂托克旗为例,基于GMS中的MODFLOW模块构建了地下水流数值模拟模型,分析了模型结构(含水层厚度、参数分区)与模型参数不确定性因素对模拟结果的影响.研究结果表明:含水层不确定情景(含水层下边界概化为隔水底板平均值870 m)与实际情况水头差值绝对值的累计和最大为701 m,对模拟结果起了主控作用;当含水层下边界概化为910,940 m时,累计和分别增加为1 013,1 593 m;与仅考虑单个不确定性因素相比,同时考虑模型参数与含水层不确定情景累计和最大为738 m,同时考虑参数分区与含水层不确定情景累计和最大为791 m.因此,在构建地下水流数值模拟模型时,应优先考虑含水层空间结构概化的合理程度,同时考虑多个不确定性因素对模拟结果的综合影响,使地下水数值模拟模型能更精确地反映真实的地下水流状况.     

CnAβ基因对大鼠RBL-2H3细胞脱颗粒的影响

过敏是人和养殖动物常见的疾病，而且发生的频率呈现逐渐增加的趋势。为了深入了解过敏反应的机制，本研究利用CRISPR/Cas9基因编辑技术，构建钙调磷酸酶A beta （calcineurin A beta，CnAβ）基因敲除的大鼠RBL-2H3细胞株，并探讨CnAβ基因对RBL-2H3细胞生长及脱颗粒的影响。选取大鼠CnAβ基因第一外显子为敲除靶点，设计并合成3个单导向RNA （single guide RNA，sgRNA），构建pX459-CnAβ-sgRNA质粒，并用脂质体3000将构建好的质粒转染到RBL-2H3细胞内；利用嘌呤霉素对转染细胞进行筛选，通过DNA测序验证获得CnAβ基因敲除的RBL-2H3细胞株；并检测CnAβ基因缺失对细胞增殖和脱颗粒的影响。结果表明，成功构建了CnAβ单基因敲除的大鼠RBL-2H3细胞株；CnAβ基因缺失对RBL-2H3细胞增殖、细胞的颗粒形成以及颗粒含量无显著影响，但显著抑制由细胞表面受体介导的RBL-2H3细胞脱颗粒作用。该研究结果有助于深入了解动物过敏性疾病的发生机制，为动物过敏性疾病的预防提供了理论基础。     

Expression of Anti-Lipopolysaccharide Factor Isoform 3 in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Showing High Antimicrobial Activity

Antimicrobial peptides are a class of proteins with antibacterial functions. In this study, the anti-lipopolysaccharide factor isoform 3 gene (ALFPm3), encoding an antimicrobial peptide from Penaeus monodon with a super activity was expressed in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, which would develop a microalga strain that can be used for the antimicrobial peptide production. To construct the expression cluster, namely pH2A-Pm3, the codon optimized ALFPm3 gene was fused with the ble reporter by 2A peptide and inserted into pH124 vector. The glass-bead method was performed to transform pH2A-Pm3 into C. reinhardtii CC-849. In addition to 8 μg/mL zeocin resistance selection, the C. reinhardtii transformants were further confirmed by genomic PCR and RT-PCR. Western blot analysis showed that the C. reinhardtii-derived ALFPm3 (cALFPm3) was successfully expressed in C. reinhardtii transformants and accounted for 0.35% of the total soluble protein (TSP). Furthermore, the results of antibacterial assay revealed that the cALFPm3 could significantly inhibit the growth of a variety of bacteria, including both Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria at a concentration of 0.77 μM. Especially, the inhibition could last longer than 24 h, which performed better than ampicillin. Hence, this study successfully developed a transgenic C. reinhardtii strain, which can produce the active ALFPm3 driven from P. monodon, providing a potential strategy to use C. reinhardtii as the cell factory to produce antimicrobial peptides.     

Shikonin inhibits neuronal apoptosis induced by OGD through targeting PI3K/Akt signaling pathway

AIM: To explore the effect of shikonin on rat primary cortical neurons in oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced injury model.METHODS: The neurons were pretreated with shikonin at different concentrations (0.02, 0.2, 2 and 20 μmol/L) followed by treatment with OGD. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay and fluorescein diacetate/propidium iodide (FDA/PI) double staining were used to detect neuronal viability and apoptosis, and then the optimal concentration of shikonin was determined. LY294002 (PI3K/Akt signaling pathway inhibitor, 1 μmol/L) was added before the addition of shikonin, and the protein level of p-Akt (Ser473) in the neurons was determined by Wes-tern blot. LDH release assay and FDA/PI double staining were also used to detect neuronal viability and apoptosis.RESULTS: A certain concentration (0.2~20 μmol/L) of shikonin increased the viability of impaired neurons (P<0.05) and the protein level of p-Akt (Ser473) in the neurons (P<0.05). The effect of shikonin on neuronal p-Akt (Ser473) levels and the cell death were blocked by LY294002 (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: A certain concentration of shikonin reduces OGD-induced apoptosis of rat primary cortical neurons by activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.     

Implementation of an easily reconfigurable dynamic simulator for recirculating aquaculture systems

Methodology of Programmable Process Structures has been implemented and applied for the flexible automatic generation and simulation of Recirculating Aquaculture Systems. First, we implemented and validated the model for a pilot unit, based on short time experiments with Common carp (Cyprinus carpio), utilizing data and functionalities from the literature. Afterwards, starting from this model we generated a hypothetical single tank model of simulated increasing volume, to demonstrate how it supports the simplified, preliminary analysis, design and control of the possible multi-stage systems. We showed that the simulation of a single tank with an appropriately increasing volume makes possible to study the various control strategies, as well as to design the structure and the grading strategy of the multi-stage systems, without an increased combinatorial complexity. In the knowledge of the simulated increasing volume, we determined the volumes of subsequent stages by equidistant partitioning of the rearing time, algorithmically. Considering the available (or planned) tank volumes, this method makes possible to design a multi-stage system that approximately corresponds to the previously optimized single tank model. This conclusion was illustrated by the generation and simulation of the model for the respective multi-stage system.     

分流叶片对高速井泵压力脉动的影响

针对高速井泵采用分流叶片设计带来的稳定性问题,运用Creo3.0软件建立了叶轮、导叶等关键零件的三维模型;在CFX数值模拟数据与外特性试验数据吻合较好的基础上,将分流叶片的进口直径d₁与叶轮外径D₂的比值定义为一个表达分流叶片综合特性参数的量纲一化系数σ.σ分别取值0.60,0.62,0.65,设计分流叶片长短不同的3个叶轮方案,且对各方案的动静干涉区域进行了详细的压力脉动数值模拟计算及分析.结果表明:压力脉动幅值大小与监测点和交界面的径向距离有关,径向距离越大,压力脉动幅值越小;各监测点压力脉动随分流叶片长度的减小逐渐减弱,当分流叶片长度减小到某一临界值以后,压力脉动基本保持不变;当σ=0.62时,压力脉动幅值较小,脉动周期清晰;除中流线上的监测点以外,各监测点压力脉动主频受叶轮叶频的影响较大,分流叶片对中流线上监测点的压力脉动影响较大.     

应力波在落叶松活立木中传播影响因素数值模拟

探究应力波在落叶松活立木中传播的影响因素,有助于研究应力波在人工林活立木中的传播机理。依据固体介质中的应力波传播理论和弹性力学理论,将活立木看作只由心材层和边材层组成的两层结构材料,基于活立木的正交各向异性假定,利用COMSOL Multiphysics多物理场仿真软件对应力波在活立木中的传播进行了模拟计算,并研究了敲击载荷频率、活立木胸径和心材比对应力波传播的影响。结果表明,应力波波速随着载荷脉冲频率的增大而减小;对于胸径为10 cm的活立木模型,当传播距离达到1. 2 m时,应力波波阵面已经转换为一维平面波,而对于胸径超过30 cm的活立木模型,应力波在0～1. 2 m传播距离内是以三维膨胀波的形式传播;活立木胸径对应力波的传播速度有影响,当胸径小于10 cm时,波速较小且基本没有发生变化,当胸径从10 cm增加到40 cm时,应力波的波速随着活立木胸径的增加而增加,而当胸径超过40 cm时,波速略微增加后保持相对稳定;应力波在活立木中的波速随着心材比的增大而减小。胸径对应力波在活立木中的传播形式以及波阵面形状有影响,而敲击载荷频率和心材比对应力波在活立木中的传播形式以及波阵面形状没有影响,但三者都会对应力波的传播速度产生影响,数值模拟最佳的敲击载荷频率为2. 5 kHz,应力波在活立木中的传播速度不只取决于边材的力学性能,而是受到心材和边材的共同影响。     

重组GSTA3蛋白对福美双诱导的肉鸡TD中抗凋亡基因BAG-3表达的影响

【目的】肉鸡胫骨软骨发育不良（TD）是肉鸡常见的一种骨骼性疾病,研究重组GSTA3蛋白对福美双诱导的TD肉鸡软骨细胞中抗凋亡基因BAG-3表达的影响,为治疗TD提供新的思路和方法。【方法】将120羽1周龄肉雏鸡随机分为6组（编号为A、B、C、D、E、F组）。A、B、C组为基础日粮对照组,D、E、F组为添加福美双日粮诱导TD组。试验饲喂福美双2 d诱发TD,在添加福美双第1、3、5、7天,腿部肌肉注射重组鸡GSTA3蛋白和磷酸盐缓冲液,A组与D组注射（100 μg·kg ^-1）磷酸盐缓冲液;B组与E组注射低剂量（100 μg·kg ^-1）GSTA3;C组与F组注射高剂量（200 μg·kg ^-1）GSTA3。试验历时23 d。添加福美双后1、2、4、6、10和15 d采集胫骨生长板。通过Real-time qPCR检测BAG-3基因的mRNA水平,利用免疫组化来检测BAG-3蛋白表达水平。【结果】Real-time qPCR结果显示,TD损伤修复期内,相比较于基础日粮对照组,福美双对照组肉鸡胫骨生长板中BAG-3 mRNA的表达水平基本都显著上调（P<0.05）;相比较于福美双对照组,E和F组在第2、4、10、15天都有显著差异,且在第10和15天显著低于福美双对照组（P<0.05）,表明与D组相比恢复较快。免疫组化结果表明BAG-3蛋白在肉鸡胫骨软骨细胞的增殖区和前肥大区无表达,只在肥大区细胞质中表达;福美双组与空白对照组相比,BAG-3蛋白表达增加;福美双高低剂量组与未注射蛋白的福美双组相比,重组GSTA3增加了肥大区的蛋白表达水平（第10和15天）。【结论】在福美双诱导肉鸡发生TD的过程中,GSTA3重组蛋白能够通过调控BAG-3表达参与凋亡途径,抑制细胞凋亡。在TD损伤修复期,注射GSTA3后使抗凋亡基因BAG-3蛋白表达增强,从而可参与细胞凋亡来缓解TD损伤,使得肉鸡TD生长板功能较快地恢复正常。     

叶片角度对输水泵站泵装置水力性能影响分析

为研究输水泵站泵装置水力性能受叶片角度变化的影响,采用CFD方法模拟全流道泵装置水力性能,分析设计流量工况下叶片角度变化对进水流道、出水流道流动及叶轮内部流动特性和水力性能的影响.结果表明:在设计流量工况下,叶片角度偏离设计工况角度,叶轮进口近轮毂区存在回流、脱流;叶片角度偏离设计工况角度越大,进水流道、出水流道内水流流态越差,水力损失越大.当叶片角度调节为-8°工况时,与叶片角度-0°工况比较,进水流道和出水流道水力损失相对值最大,分别为1.28和2.89.即叶片同等偏离角度下,出水流道水力损失增大幅度较进水流道更加明显.对比数值模拟结果与模型试验结果得出,在设计流量工况,叶片角度为0°时,扬程相对误差为1.2%,效率相对误差为2.1%,两者吻合较好.
