Guiqin Sun,Xiaojun Yu,Jikai Zhang,Kenji Narita 한국자기학회 1995 韓國磁氣學會誌 Vol.5 No.5

By means of adding B into Sendust alloy (Fe-Si-Al) with state of amorphous ribbon, mechnical properties of alloy was improved effectively, and magnetic properties didn't decrease obviously. The optimum adding quantity of B is 0.015-0.03 wt%. The adding of B was thought to give rise to reduction of ordering degree of Fe₃(Si, Al) phase of Sedust alloy(Fe-Si-Al-B) and result in improvment of embrittlement of this alloy.

Yang, Guiqin,Zhao, Fei,Tian, He,Li, Jiantao,Guo, Dongxin Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2020 Animal Bioscience Vol.33 No.4

Objective: Substituting starch with digestible fiber (dF) can improve digestive health of rabbits and reduce costs. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a criterion for dF and starch supply. Effects of the dietary dF-to-starch ratio on pellet quality, growth and cecal microbiota of Angora rabbits were evaluated. Methods: Five isoenergetic and isoproteic diets with increasing dF/starch ratios (0.59, 0.66, 0.71, 1.05, and 1.44) were formulated. A total of 120 Angora rabbits with an average live weight of 2.19 kg were randomly divided into five groups with four replicates. At the end of 40 day feeding trial, cecal digesta were collected to analyse microbiota. Results: The results showed that the dF/starch ratio had linear effects on pellet variables (p<0.01). When the dF/starch ratio was 1.44, the pellets had the lowest powder and highest durability. The dF/starch ratio had unfavorable linear effects on growth variables (p<0.001). When analyzed by quadratic regression, the optimal dF/starch ratios for average weight gain and feed/gain were 0.59 and 0.74, respectively. There were differences in wool yield, fiber length and fiber diameter caused by the dF/starch ratio (p<0.05), and the dF/starch ratios that ranged from 0.66 to 1.06 were appropriate for good results. The cecal microbiota operational taxonomic unit (OTU) number index in the 1.05 dF/starch treatment was higher than that in the 0.66 and 0.71 dF/starch treatments. The higher dF/starch ratio resulted in a higher cecal microbiota OTU number index (p<0.05). The proportion of Ruminococcus in the 0.71 dF/starch treatment was higher than that in the 0.59 dF/starch treatment (p<0.05) Conclusion: The most suitable dF/starch ratio for feed pellet quality is 1.44, and for rabbit growth the optimal range of ratios is from 0.59 to 0.74. With combination of the wool growth, output cost, and cecal microbiota, we suggest that a dietary dF/starch ratio ranging from 0.74 to 1.06 is optimal.

EFFECT OF FLASH ANNEALING ON MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF Fe - BASED NANOCRYSTALLINE ALLOYS

Xiaojun Yu,Baiyun Quan,Guiqin Sun,Kenji Narita 한국자기학회 1995 韓國磁氣學會誌 Vol.5 No.5

A heat-treatment method of pre-annealing and then flash annealing(FA) has been used to improve the soft magnetic properties of nanocrystalline Fe_(76)CuSi₁₃B_(10) and Fe_(74)CuNb₃Si₁₂B_(10) alloys. Outstanding magnetic properties of nanocrystalline Fe_(74)CuNb₃Si₁₂B_(10) alloy were attained by flash-annealing in air after annealed at 500℃ for 0.5hr below the crystallization temperature. The same results were obtained for Fe_(74)CuSi₁₃B_(10) alloy. The measurment of relief of stress and X-ray diffraction were used to analyze the effect of flash-annealing.

Comparison of Monoexponential, Biexponential, Stretched-Exponential, and Kurtosis Models of Diffusion-Weighted Imaging in Differentiation of Renal Solid Masses

Jianjian Zhang,Shiteng Suo,Guiqin Liu,Shan Zhang,Zizhou Zhao,Jianrong Xu,Guangyu Wu 대한영상의학회 2019 Korean Journal of Radiology Vol.20 No.5

Objective: To compare various models of diffusion-weighted imaging including monoexponential apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), biexponential (fast diffusion coefficient [Df], slow diffusion coefficient [Ds], and fraction of fast diffusion), stretched-exponential (distributed diffusion coefficient and anomalous exponent term [α]), and kurtosis (mean diffusivity and mean kurtosis [MK]) models in the differentiation of renal solid masses. Materials and Methods: A total of 81 patients (56 men and 25 women; mean age, 57 years; age range, 30–69 years) with 18 benign and 63 malignant lesions were imaged using 3T diffusion-weighted MRI. Diffusion model selection was investigated in each lesion using the Akaike information criteria. Mann–Whitney U test and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were used for statistical evaluations. Results: Goodness-of-fit analysis showed that the stretched-exponential model had the highest voxel percentages in benign and malignant lesions (90.7% and 51.4%, respectively). ADC, Ds, and MK showed significant differences between benign and malignant lesions (p < 0.05) and between low- and high-grade clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) (p < 0.05). α was significantly lower in the benign group than in the malignant group (p < 0.05). All diffusion measures showed significant differences between ccRCC and non-ccRCC (p < 0.05) except Df and α (p = 0.143 and 0.112, respectively). α showed the highest diagnostic accuracy in differentiating benign and malignant lesions with an area under the ROC curve of 0.923, but none of the parameters from these advanced models revealed significantly better performance over ADC in discriminating subtypes or grades of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Compared with conventional diffusion parameters, α may provide additional information for differentiating benign and malignant renal masses, while ADC remains the most valuable parameter for differentiation of RCC subtypes and for ccRCC grading.

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of rumen-protected biotin (RPB) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, nitrogen utilization and plasma biochemical parameters of Liaoning cashmere goats during the cashmere fiber growing period. Methods: Sixteen 6-month-old Liaoning cashmere twin-doelings (24.8±1.20 kg) were allocated to 2 diet groups that were individually ad libitum fed 30% concentrate and 70% forage diet (dry matter [DM]) by a paired experimental design. Goats of the control group were fed the basal diet, while goats belonging to the RPB group were fed the basal diet with 10 mg RPB/d per animal. The duration of the experiment was 16 weeks with two 8-week periods. Digestibility was determined at weeks 7 and 15, and other measures were taken every four weeks. Results: Compared with the control group, the average daily gain of the RPB group increased by 10.94% (p<0.05), and the intake of neutral detergent fiber was increased (p = 0.045). There were some increasing tendencies for the intake of DM, acid detergent fiber and ether extract (p = 0.070, 0.088, and 0.070, respectively). The intake and digestibility of N tended to increase (p = 0.062 and 0.093, respectively), while the N fecal excretion percentage of N intake was decreased (p = 0.093) in the RPB compared with the control group. N retention tended to increase (p = 0.084) with the addition of adding RPB to the diet. Plasma total protein was increased (p = 0.037), whereas the urea-N concentration was decreased (p = 0.049) in the RPB diet group compared with the control diet group. The levels of propionyl-CoA carboxylase (p<0.001) and methylmalonyl-CoA (p = 0.013) were increased in the RPB group. Conclusion: Supplementation of rumen-protected biotin in the diet of cashmere goats can enhance the utilization of N and improve daily weight gain during cashmere fiber growing period.

Influence of Roller Speed on Magnetic Properties and Structures of α-Fe / Nd₂Fe₁₄B Nanocomposite Magnets Prepared by Melt - spinning

Wenli Pei,Fazeng Lian,Meng Fu,Guiqin Zhou,M. Takahashi 한국자기학회 2004 Journal of Magnetics Vol.9 No.4

The crystallization behaviours of nanocomposite made by a function of quenching rate (roller speed) were studied. The results showed that there was one step crystallization process for the alloy quenched at roller speed of 32 ㎧, which could be shown as, Am (amorphouse) + α-Fe+Nd₂Fe₁₄B → α-Fe+Nd₂Fe₁₄B. For the alloy quenched at roller speed of 40 ㎧, there was two steps crystallization process taking place at different temperatures, which could be shown as, Am → α-Fe+Nd₂Fe₂₃B₃+Nd₂Fe₁₄B+Am' → α-Fe+Nd₂Fe₁₄B. The presence of transition phase (Nd₂Fe₂₃B₃) was harmful to get fine and uniform grain size during crystallization process. Uniform microstructures and high magnetic properties could be attained for the as-quenched alloy containing less amorphous phase and no presence of transition phase during annealing treatment. For the alloy prepared at roller speed of 32 m/s, the following properties were obtained, Br = 0.904 T, iHc = 801 ㎄/m, (BH)max = 122 kJ/㎥ and Mr/Ms = 0.6.

The discharge characteristics of capacitively coupled nitrogen plasma driven by 6∼50 MHz by optical emission spectra

Yuan Qianghua,Qin Biao,Yin Guiqin 한국물리학회 2023 Current Applied Physics Vol.53 No.-

The discharge characteristics of capacitively coupled nitrogen plasma driven by four different exciting radio frequencies (RF) of 6 MHz, 15 MHz, 35 MHz and 50 MHz are investigated by optical emission spectra (OES). The RF power change from 20 to 70 W and pressure change from 20 to 90 mTorr. The vibrational temperature Tv and rotational temperature Tr of N2 second positive system (C3Пu - B3Пg) and N+2 in the first negative band system (B2Σ+u— X2Σ+gstate) are studied by comparing the experimental emission spectra with the calculated results. When the pressure is fixed at 40 mTorr, the spectral line intensity increases with the increase of RF power, and the vibrational temperature and rotational temperature of N2 and N+2 both increase. The vibrational temperature and rotational temperature of N2 and N+2 are the highest at 6 MHz and are the lowest at 15 MHz. When the RF power is fixed at 30 W, the vibrational temperature of N2 and N+2 both decrease and the rotational temperature of N2 and N+2 both increase with the increase of pressure. The vibration and rotational temperatures of N2 and N+2 are also the highest at 6 MHz. The influence of the driving frequency on the N+2 is greater than the influence on the N2, which may also be caused by the different response of the nitrogen ions to the driving frequency.

DNA Polymorphism of Insulin-like Growth Factor-binding Protein-3 Gene and Its Association with Cashmere Traits in Cashmere Goats

Liu, Haiying,Liu, Chao,Yang, Guiqin,Li, Hui,Dai, Jin,Cong, Yuyan,Li, Xuejian Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2012 Animal Bioscience Vol.25 No.11

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) gene is important for regulation of growth and development in mammals. The present investigation was carried out to study DNA polymorphism by PCR-RFLP of IGFBP-3 gene and its effect on fibre traits of Chinese Inner Mongolian cashmere goats. The fibre traits data investigated were cashmere fibre diameter, combed cashmere weight, cashmere fibre length and guard hair length. Four hundred and forty-four animals were used to detect polymorphisms in the hircine IGFBP-3 gene. A 316-bp fragment of the IGFBP-3 gene in exon 2 was amplified and digested with HaeIII restriction enzyme. Three patterns of restriction fragments were observed in the populations. The frequency of AA, AB and BB genotypes was 0.58, 0.33 and 0.09 respectively. The allelic frequency of the A and B allele was 0.75 and 0.25 respectively. Nucleotide sequencing revealed a C>G transition in the exon 2 region of the IGFBP-3 gene resulting in R158G change which caused the polymorphism. Least squares analysis revealed a significant effect of genotypes on cashmere weight (p<0.0001), cashmere fibre length (p<0.001) and hair length (p<0.05) of the animals. The effect of genotypes on cashmere fibre diameter was not statistically significant (p>0.05). The animals of AB and BB genotypes showed higher cashmere weight, cashmere fibre length and hair length than the animals possessing AA genotype. These results suggested that polymorphisms in the hircine IGFBP-3 gene might be a potential molecular marker for cashmere weight in cashmere goats.

Zhu Xin,Xu Miao,Liu Haiying,Yang Guiqin 아세아·태평양축산학회 2022 Animal Bioscience Vol.35 No.8

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the in vitro fermentation profiles of different soybean oligosaccharides (SBOs) and their effects on skatole production and cecal microbiota of broilers. Methods: Five SBOs with varying main component contents were fermented using an in vitro batch incubation inoculated with broiler cecal microbiota. Gas production was recorded automatically, skatole, indole and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography, and microbial changes were analyzed using 16S DNA gene sequencing. Results: The addition of SBOs increased (p<0.05) gas production, suggesting bacterial growth-stimulating activities. In addition, the concentrations of indole were significantly (p<0.05) decreased after SBO supplementation, and SBO III, with higher sucrose and stachyose contents, decreased (p<0.05) the skatole level. Our results also revealed that the fermentation of SBOs by cecal microbiota produced (p<0.05) SCFAs, which were dominated by propionic acid, butyrate acid and lactic acid compared to the control. In addition, SBO III increased (p<0.05) the abundance of Firmicutes and Subdoligranulum and decreased that of Bacteroides. Conclusion: These results suggest that SBOs with higher sucrose and stachyose contents are promising prebiotics in modulating gut microbiota and reducing odor emission in broilers.
