有机质浸染砂水泥土的力学特性及本构关系

为研究海南省海湾地区分布的有机质浸染砂水泥土的力学特性,该文首先对有机质浸染砂水泥土和标准砂水泥土进行无侧限抗压强度对比试验(采用配合比均为熟石灰掺入比7.5%、水泥掺入比20%、水灰比0.45),定量分析养护龄期对其无侧限抗压强度及试样破坏形式的影响。然后对有机质浸染砂水泥土进行单轴抗压试验,获得了水泥土材料的应力-应变全过程曲线、刚度变化规律以及改进邓肯-张本构模型。结果表明:1)有机质浸染砂水泥土试样的破坏类型为塑性剪切破坏和脆性剪切破坏;2)有机质浸染砂水泥土抗压强度随着养护龄期的增加基本呈指数形式增长,但在养护龄期14 d后,增长速度逐渐降低并趋于稳定;3)随着养护龄期增长,水泥土刚度增加。在加载初期,水泥土切线模量随着轴向应变增加而增大,呈现刚度硬化现象;4)基于单轴抗压试验得到应力-应变全过程曲线,可分为2个阶段:塑性阶段、软化阶段;5)通过对应力-应变全曲线的描述,得到了修正的邓肯-张模型,确定模型参数后,与实测数据对比发现,该修正模型可以模拟有机质浸染砂水泥土的应力-应变关系。

Characteristics of Brittle Failure and Stress Drop Under Triaxial Loading and Unloading

The characteristics of deformation failure and stress brittle drop of granite under loading and unloading conditions are studied respectively based on two unloading stress path cases and conventional triaxial compression experiments. The experiments show that the primary deformation of rock is rebound or tension in the (main) unloading direction, but plastic deformation in the non or sub unloading direction is not significant. And the curves of stress strain after peak strength present obvious brittle. Whilst the primary deformation of rock under loading is axial pressure deformation, and plastic deformation increases with the raise of confining pressure. The fracture is characterized by strong tensile, and all tensile cracks are fully developed. Furthermore, when the rock samples are unloaded in two directions, and even normal to unloading direction, sub unloading annular tensile cracks are produced. The shear fractures is obvious comparatively when confining pressure becomes higher, and it develops following tensile cracks with more micro tension cracks formed in two sides along shear plane. But the fracture is characterized by shear under conventional triaxial compression with little tensile cracks; the coefficients of brittles stress drop of granite is increased with the growth of confining pressure under conventional triaxial compression and reduced under unloading. When the initial confining pressure is the same, the coefficients of brittles stress drop under unloading is less than that under loading. In SchemeⅡ, the coefficients of brittles stress drop reaches negative when initial confining pressure is up to 30 MPa, and the one （R）is RⅢ>RⅠ>RⅡ in three test cases.     

Protective role of heat-shock protein 70 in gastric mucosal lesion induced by endotoxin in cirrhotic rats with portal hypertensive gastropathy

AIM: To investigate the protective role of heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) in the pathogenesis of gastric mucosal damage in cirrhotic rats with portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG).METHODS: The rat model of liver cirrhosis with PHG was established by injection with tetrachloride.The animals were divided into normal control group, PHG group, PHG+heat treatment group, PHG+BPI21 group and PHG+endotoxin groups.The endotoxin used in the experiment was at the dose of 3 mg/kg and endotoxin antagonist BPI21 was at the dose of 2 mg/kg.HSP70 was induced by pre-treating the animals with mild whole-body heating.The levels of HSP70 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in the gastric mucosa were measured by ELISA.Furthermore, the pathological changes of the gastric mucosa were observed under microscope with HE staining.RESULTS: Compared with the normal control rats, the rats in PHG group showed obvious gastric pathological lesion, decrease in HSP70 production and increase in TNF-α level in the gastric mucosa, and increased endotoxin concentration in the plasma.Compared with PHG+endotoxin group, the gastric mucosal lesion in PHG+BPI21 group was significantly attenuated, accompanied by the increase in HSP70 production and decrease in TNF-α level in the gastric mucosa.Heat treatment increased HSP70 production and decreased TNF-α concentration in the PHG rats, thus attenuating the gastric mucosal damage.CONCLUSION: HSP70 alleviates the gastric mucosal lesion induced by endotoxin in cirrhotic rats with PHG and decreases the concentration of TNF-α in gastric mucosa, indicating a protective role of HSP70 in the pathogenesis of gastric mucosal damage in PHG.     

Advances in mechanisms of immunity enhancement induced by thermal ablation therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma

Image-guided tumor thermal ablation plays a key role in the management of hepatocellular carcinoma. Thermal ablation for hepatic tumors not only generates directly killing effect on liver tumors, but also improves the level of anti-tumor immunity of the host. Thermal ablation potentially affects the anti-tumor immunity in the following ways: (1) causing necrosis that is a source for intracellular antigens, and also inducing local inflammation, which further stimulates the antigen-presenting cells; (2) removing the tumor burden; (3) undergoing the process of heat shock in surviving tissue, leading to increase in the expression of heat shock proteins; (4) activating and enhancing tumor-specific T-cell responses. This review discusses these possible mechanisms.     

Inhibition of Ang-2 and RGS-5 expression by nanogold results in normalization of vascellum in hepatic tumor

AIM: To observe the vascular normalization effect of nanogold on hepatic tumor by inhibiting angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), regulator of G-protein signaling-5 (RGS-5) during certain time window. METHODS: H22 cells, the hepatocellular cancer cell line, were subcutaneously injected into the right armpits of 48 BALB/c nude mice. When the size of transplanted tumor reached 3~4 mm, the mice were divided into 2 groups: 36 mice in experiment group and 12 mice in control group. The mice in experimental group underwent injection of nanogold into the tumor once a day, and the mice in control group were injected with normal saline. After continuous treatment with nanogold for 3 days, 7 days and 11 days, the mice were sacrificed, the liver tumors were taken out to measure the size and weight. The expression of Ang-1,Ang-2 and RGS-5 in the tumor was detected by the method of immunohistochemical staining. The normalizing shapes of tumor vessels and the pericytes were observed under electronic microscope. RESULTS: With nanogold treatment for 3 days, 7 days and 11 days, the positive rates of Ang-1 were 16.7％, 50.0% and 16.7%, respectively. The positive rates of Ang-2 were 33.3%, 16.7% and 41.7%, respectively. The expression of Ang-1 in experiment group was higher than that in control group, especially at the 7th day in experiment group. The expression of Ang-2 in experiment group was lower than that in control group (58.3%), especially at the 7th day in experiment group. With nanogold treatment for 3 days, 7 days and 11 days, the positive rates of RGS-5 were 33.3%, 16.7% and 50.0%, respectively. The immature pericyte coverage indexes (IMPI) were 19.6%±4.3%, 32.5%±7.9% and 41.2%±9.1% respectively. At the 7th day in experiment group, the positive rates of RGS-5 and IMPI were lower than those in other experiment groups and control group. After treated with nanogold for 7 days, the pericytes in the parietal wall of the blood vessels in the tumor showed the tendency to grow normally in morphology and were completely covered by endothelial cells. However, the pericytes in the parietal wall of the blood vessels in control group showed differences in size, impaired integrity and only a few of the pericytes covered by endothelial cells. CONCLUSION: During the time window of nangold treatment for 7 days, the chemical can normalize the blood vessels in liver cancer by inhibiting the expression of Ang-2 and RGS-5.

Age changes in extramural digestive glands of sheep and rabbits in the postembryonic period

Background:The study of the peculiarities of the anatomy of sheep and rabbits’ digestive systems is an important way to improve the efficiency of these animals’ breeding.Aim:The aim of the presented research was to study structural changes of such digestive glands as the liver and the pancreas which occur in the process of ontogenesis in sheep and rabbits.Methods:Sheep of the “Kazakh fat-tailed semi-coarse-wooled” breed (n = 8) raised in the “Sayan” private peasant agriculture and rabbits of the “Grey Giant” breed (n = 8), raised on the mini rabbit farm of the Agriculture Faculty of Shakarim University were used in the research.Two experimental animal groups were formed (of sheep, “Kazakh fat-tailed semi-coarse-wooled” breed, n = 8; rabbits, “Grey Giant” breed, n = 8). The liver and pancreas’ ontogenesis development has been studied in these animals.Results:The study presents a holistic view of the macro-microscopic structure of the liver and the pancreas of animals in crucial age periods, stages, and phases of postembryonic ontogenesis (by the example of sheep and rabbits). The authors have traced age stages of adaptive change and structural-functional change of stromal-parenchymatous structures of the liver in sheep and rabbits taking into account stages and crucial phases of development.Conclusion:Development of the liver and the pancreas are characterized by discontinuous growth in the process of postnatal ontogenesis. A crucially important period is the first months after birth, during which the weight and functionality of these organs grow rapidly.
