Scutellaria barbata D. Don (S. barbata), a traditional Chinese medicine, is used to treat cancers, inflammation, and urinary diseases. This study aimed to determine any protective effects of S. barbata crude extract (CE-SB) against rat liver tumorigenesis induced by diethylnitrosamine (DENA). Liver malfunction indices in serum were measured by biochemical examination. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was performed to examine liver pathology. Contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured in liver homogenates to evaluate oxidative stress. The levels of liver malfunction indices in the CE-SB groups, especially in the CE-SB high dose group, were lower than that of the model group (P<0.05). The results from histological examination indicated that the number of liver nodules in the CE-SB groups decreased compared with the model group (P<0.05). Content of MDA determined in liver was significantly decreased, and level of SOD elevated by CE-SB. CE-SB can inhibit experimental liver tumorigenesis and relieve hepatic injury in rats.

Hui Dai,Mingyuan Zhu,Haiyang Zhang,Feng Yu,Chao Wang,Bin Dai 한국공업화학회 2017 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.50 No.-

The development of green catalysts for the calcium carbide acetylene method synthesis of vinyl chloridemonomer (VCM), is essential material to industrial polyvinyl chloride production. The original catalystHgCl2 easy to volatile during the reaction lead to environmental pollution. Here we present threedifferent transition metal nitride load into activated carbon (AC): VN/AC, Mo2N/AC, and W2N/AC as novelcatalysts. W2N/AC and Mo2N/AC was a relatively stable catalyst to compared with VN/AC. All of themVCM selectivity can maintain 98%. More HCl ratio for Mo2N/AC lead its acetylene conversion reach 80%. The former two catalysts are promising candidates for acetylene hydrochlorination.

Jin Dai,Feng Hu,Yi Yan 보안공학연구지원센터(IJSIP) 2014 International Journal of Signal Processing, Image Vol.7 No.6

Granulation of information appears in many areas, such as machine learning, evidence theory, and data mining. Granular computing is the core research field in granulation of information. It is an effective tool for complex problem, massive data mining and fuzzy information processing. In the basis of principle of granularity, we aim to study the granular decomposing method in granules space based on rough set. Moreover, the criteria conditions for attribution necessity and attribute reduction are proposed. Finally, the corresponding equivalence is proved to traditional rough set theory. It will lay the foundation for attribute reduction under the granular representation in rough set.

Analysis of the Effects of Shallow Gas on a Shield Tunnel during Leakage: A Case Study from the Sutong River-Crossing GIL Utility Tunnel Project in China

Xiaoqing Feng,Bin Ye,Xiaoyang Zhang,Yang Dai,Feng Xia 대한토목학회 2021 KSCE JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Vol.25 No.6

Soil layers including shallow gas threaten underground structures. Considering the special geological conditions of the gas-bearing layers under the Yangtze River for the Sutong River-crossing unity tunnel project, a solid-liquid-gas coupled 3-D numerical model was established to consider two different gas pocket conditions (a single gas pocket and multiple random gas pockets), and the effects of shallow gas on the tunnel segment and the adjacent soils in the long-term process of gas leakage were analyzed and discussed. A brief discussion of the displacement results and a comparison of the stress results determined by simulation and the designed data indicated that as the maximum displacement is on the order of millimeters for both gas pocket conditions and the simulated maximum bending moment is less than the design value for the bending moment, the structure of the tunnel segment has remained in a safe state during the leakage of the gas pocket, and the normal operation of the tunnel segment is basically not affected by the leakage of the gas pocket.

Stress concentrations around a circular hole in an infinite plate of arbitrary thickness

Dai, Longchao,Wang, Xinwei,Liu, Feng Techno-Press 2010 Structural Engineering and Mechanics, An Int'l Jou Vol.34 No.2

This paper presents theoretical solutions for the three-dimensional (3D) stress field in an infinite isotropic elastic plate containing a through-the-thickness circular hole subjected to far-field in-plane loads by using Kane and Mindlin's assumption. The dangerous position, where the premature fracture or failure of the plate will take place, the expressions of the tangential stress at the surface of the hole and the out-of-plane stress constraint factor are found in a concise, explicit form. Based on the present theoretical solutions, a comprehensive analysis is performed on the deviated degree of the in-plane stresses from the related plane stress solutions, stress concentration and out-of-plane constraint, and the emphasis has been placed on the effects of the plate thickness, Poisson's ratio and the far-field in-plane loads on the stress field. The analytical solution shows that the effects of the plate thickness and Poisson's ratio on the deviation of the 3D in-plane stress components is obvious and could not be ignored, although their effects on distributions of the in-plane stress components are slight, and that the effect of the far-field in-plane loads is just on the contrary of that of the above two. When only the shear stress is loaded at far field, the stress concentration factor reach its peak value about 8.9% higher than that of the plane stress solutions, and the out-of-plane stress constraint factor can reach 1 at the surface of the hole and is the biggest among all cases considered.

Dai Minli,Feng Piao,Mao Tingting,Gu Haoyi,Bian Dandan,Sun Haina,Li Fanchi,Wei Jing,Li Bing 한국응용곤충학회 2022 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.25 No.3

Organisms achieve compensatory growth after a period of nutrient restriction followed by recovering the nutrient status. However, the underlying mechanisms associated with such growth acceleration remain unclear. The silkworm Bombyx mori is a lepidopteran model insect. This study aimed to investigate the physiological characteristics and the underlying mechanisms in B. mori fed on mulberry leaves (MG), artificial diet (AG), and artificial diet + mulberry leaves (AG-MG), respectively. Silkworms in AG-MG which fed on artificial diet from 1st to 3rd instars followed by feeding on mulberry leaves from 4th to 5th instars exhibited a higher weight gain rate than that in MG and AG, indicating that compensatory growth occurred as a result of the switch in the silkworm food regime. Trypsin and lipase activities of silkworms in AG-MG were shown to be up-regulated at 72 h after changing food. Digital gene expression profiling (DGE) analysis revealed that genes related to metabolism and development in silkworm midguts were differentially expressed. The quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) re sults showed that the expression levels of IIS/PI3K-AKT pathway genes including INR, IRS, AKT, PI3K60 and PI3K110 of silkworms in AG were down-regulated compared with that in MG at 0 h. Whereas AKT, PI3K and PI3K60 of silkworms were significantly increased by 1.68-, 1.49-, 1.67-fold, respectively, at 72 h after switched to mulberry leaves than the same instar fed on artificial diet. PDK’s expression of silkworms in AG was higher than that in other two groups at each timepoint. Compared with MG and AG, PTEN and IRS were down-regulated at 48 and 72 h in AG-MG. Collectively, these results indicate that compensatory growth in B. mori is regulated by IIS/ PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.

VEHICLE-LEVEL ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY PREDICTION BASED ON MULTI-PORT NETWORK THEORY

Feng Gao,Hanzhe Dai,Jiawei Qi,Zilong Wang 한국자동차공학회 2019 International journal of automotive technology Vol.20 No.6

This paper proposes a new methodology based on the multi-port network theory to predict the vehicle-level electromagnetic compatibility performance. The original EMC problem is firstly converted to a network by separating the electrical large structures and electrical small components. The impedance is proposed to describe the coupling process of network to eliminate the influence of port impedance on network. Based on this network model, the relationship between the exciting sources and the sensitive components is set up using the multi-port network theory. Furthermore, some application problems, such as measurement of parameters, are also discussed. After validated by a bench test, this methodology for vehicle level electromagnetic compatibility was further applied to predict and improve the low frequency radiated emission of an electric vehicle. The application results show that it can be used to predict electromagnetic interference and analyze the main exciting source satisfactorily.

Feng-hua Qin,Tian-yu Zhang,Peidong Dai,Lin Yang 대한이비인후과학회 2015 Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology Vol.8 No.4

Objectives. To quantitatively analyzing the anatomic variants on temporal computed tomography (CT) in congenital external auditory canal stenosis (EACS), congenital aural atresia (CAA), and normal ear structure. Methods. Through a retrospective study, we analyzed 142 temporal high-resolution CT studies performed in 71 microtia patients. The following 6 parameters were compared among the three groups: Marx classification, medial canal diameter, vertical facial nerve (VFN) anterior displacement, tegmen mastoideum position, tympanic cavity volume, and malleus-incus joint or malleus-incus complex (MIC) area. Results. The results showed that the microtia distributions in the Marx classification in these three groups were significantly different, as 86% (31 of 35) of ears with major microtia (third-degree dysplasia) had an atresia, and in 54.8% (23 of 42) of the minor microtic (first-degree or second-degree) ears, the bony or cartilaginous part of the external auditory canal was stenotic. Measurement data also showed that the potential medial canal diameter of the atresia group was obviously shorter than that of the stenosis group. The VFN anterior displacement and temporomandibular joint backward-shift together lead to medial canal diameters in ears with atresic canals that is smaller than those with stenotic canals. The tegmen mastoideum position was not significantly different between the three groups. Conclusion. The mal-development of the external auditory canal is significantly associated with auricle and middle ear developmental anomalies. Compared with CAA ears, EACS have better development of the auricle, canal, tympanic cavity and MIC and relatively safer surgical operation except for the position of the tegmen mastoideum and the VFN.
