Ye Jiang,Xuechong Wang,Changzhong Bao,Shanbo Huang,Xiuxia Zhang,Xinwei Wang 한국화학공학회 2017 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.34 No.6

The effect of CaO on CeO2/TiO2 catalysts prepared by a single step sol-gel method for selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3 was investigated. The results showed that CaO could severely deactivate the CeO2/TiO2 catalysts. Based on the characterization results obtained by BET, XRD, XPS, H2-TPR and NH3-TPD, the deactivation by CaO of CeO2/TiO2 catalysts should be attributed to pore blockage, lower concentration of Ce on catalyst surface, reduction of Ce3+ and surface adsorbed oxygen, degradation of redox ability and decrease in NH3 adsorption capacity. The theoretical DFT results demonstrated that Ca atom could strongly interact with cerium oxygen, which inhibits the formation and hydrogenation of oxygen vacancies on catalyst surface.

Background: Mechanisms of synaptic plasticity in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are complex and the current knowledge cannot explain. Growth and regeneration of dendrites together with synaptic formation are the most important parameters for evaluating the cellular protective effects of various molecules. The effect of ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1) on the growth of retinal ganglion cell processes has been poorly understood. Therefore, we investigated the effect of ginsenoside Rg1 on the neurite growth of RGCs. Methods: Expression of proteins and mRNA were detected by Western blot and qPCR. cAMP levels were determined by ELISA. In vivo effects of Rg1 on RGCs were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin, and immunohistochemistry staining. Results: This study found that Rg1 promoted the growth and synaptic plasticity of RGCs neurite by activating the cAMP/PKA/CREB pathways. Meanwhile, Rg1 upregulated the expression of GAP43, Rac1 and PAX6, which are closely related to the growth of neurons. Meantime, H89, an antagonist of PKA, could block this effect of Rg1. In addition, we preliminarily explored the effect of Rg1 on enhancing the glycolysis of RGCs, which could be one of the mechanisms for its neuroprotective effects. Conclusion: Rg1 promoted neurite growth of RGCs through cAMP/PKA/CREB pathways. This study may lay a foundation for its clinical use of optic nerve diseases in the future.

Objective : To investigate the efficacy and safety of the posterior endoscopic cervical foraminotomy (PECF) using ultrasonic osteotome for the treatment of cervical osseous foraminal stenosis,focusing on introduction of the advantages of ultrasonic osteotome in partial pediculectomy and ventral osteophyte resection in PECF. Methods : Nineteen patients with cervical osseous foraminal stenosis who underwent PECF using ultrasonic osteotome in our institution between April 2018 and April 2021 were enrolled in this study. All the patients were followed up more than 12 months. The patients’ medical data, as well as pre- and postoperative radiologic findings were thoroughly investigated. The visual analogue score (VAS), Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, cervical dysfunction index (Neck disability index, NDI), and modified MacNab criteria were used to assess the surgical efficacy. Results : All the patients were successfully treated with PECF using ultrasonic osteotome. The pre- and postoperative VAS, NDI, and JOA scores were significantly improved (p<0.05). According to the modified MacNab criteria, 17 patients were assessed as “excellent”, two patients were assessed as “good” at the last follow-up. There was no dura tear, nerve root damage, incision infection, neck deformity, or other complications. Conclusion : Adequate nerve root decompression can be accomplished successfully with the help of ultrasonic osteotome in PECF, which has the advantage of reducing the probability of damage to the nerve root and dura mater, in addition to the original merits of endoscopic surgery.

Ye Jiang,Zhimin Xing,Xuechong Wang,Shanbo Huang,Qingyu Liu,Jingshan Yang 한국공업화학회 2015 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.29 No.-

A MoO3 modified CeO2/TiO2 catalyst was prepared by a single step sol–gel method for selective catalyticreduction of NO with NH3. The experimental results indicates that MoO3 modified CeO2/TiO2 catalystexhibited higher SCR activity and resistance to 10% H2O and 1000 ppm SO2. From the characterizationresults, it can be concluded that good physical properties, highly dispersed active species of Ce and Mo,more appearance of Ce3+ and chemisorbed oxygen, strong interaction among ceria, molybdenum andtitania, and high oxygen storage capacity might contribute to the excellent deNOx performance of CeO2–MoO3/TiO2 catalyst prepared by a single step sol–gel method.

Jiang Ye,Wan Sijie,Zhao Weiwei,Yu Wenjie,Wang Shuaipeng,Yu Zeqi,Yang Qiu,Zhou Weihua,Liu Xiaoqing 한국탄소학회 2022 Carbon Letters Vol.32 No.4

The hybridization of graphene with magnetic nanoparticles has endowed graphene with increasing interest as the adsorbent for wastewater treatment. However, its fabrication often involves a multi-stepped chemical synthesis process. In this work, we demonstrate a facile, one-step, and solvent-free approach to fabricate Fe3O4 nanoparticle-anchored Laser-Induced Graphene (Fe3O4@LIG) as an efficient adsorbent by direct laser irradiation on a ferric acetylacetonate containing polybenzoxazine film. Raman and X-ray diffraction analysis confirm the graphene component in the adsorbent, and the morphology characterizations show that Fe3O4 nanoparticles are distributed uniformly on LIG with hierarchical meso- and macro-porous structures. Adsorption experiments indicate that Fe3O4@LIG can adsorb methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions in a fast and effective manner, with a maximum adsorption capacity up to 350.9 mg/g. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms are also investigated, which are well-described by the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model, respectively. Additionally, Fe3O4@LIG is also demonstrated with the efficient removal of a variety of organic solvents from water. The favorable adsorption behavior of Fe3O4@LIG is attributed to its unique porous structure and the molecular interactions with adsorbates. On the other hand, Fe3O4@LIG has high magnetic property, and therefore, it could be easily recovered from water and well regenerated for repeated use. With the efficient adsorption of organic pollutants, magnetic separability, and good recyclability, it is believed that the easy-fabricated Fe3O4@LIG has great potential applications in wastewater treatment.

A simplified method for estimating the fundamental period of masonry infilled reinforced concrete frames

Rui Jiang,Liqiang Jiang,Yi Hu,Jihong Ye,Lingyu Zhou 국제구조공학회 2020 Structural Engineering and Mechanics, An Int'l Jou Vol.74 No.6

The fundamental period is an important parameter for seismic design and seismic risk assessment of building structures. In this paper, a simplified theoretical method to predict the fundamental period of masonry infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frame is developed based on the basic theory of engineering mechanics. The different configurations of the RC frame as well as masonry walls were taken into account in the developed method. The fundamental period of the infilled structure is calculated according to the integration of the lateral stiffness of the RC frame and masonry walls along the height. A correction coefficient is considered to control the error for the period estimation, and it is determined according to the multiple linear regression analysis. The corrected formula is verified by shaking table tests on two masonry infilled RC frame models, and the errors between the estimated and test period are 2.3% and 23.2%. Finally, a probability-based method is proposed for the corrected formula, and it allows the structural engineers to select an appropriate fundamental period with a certain safety redundancy. The proposed method can be quickly and flexibly used for prediction, and it can be hand-calculated and easily understood. Thus it would be a good choice in determining the fundamental period of RC frames infilled with masonry wall structures in engineering practice instead of the existing methods.

Liqiang Jiang,Xingshuo Zhang,Lizhong Jiang,Chang He,Jihong Ye,Yu Ran 국제구조공학회 2021 Structural Engineering and Mechanics, An Int'l Jou Vol.78 No.6

Steel frames equipped with beam-only-connected steel panel wall (SPWF) system is one type of lateral resisting systems. The fundamental period is necessary to calculate the lateral force for seismic design, however, almost no investigations have been reported for the period estimation of SPWF structures, both in theoretically and in codes. This paper proposes a simple theoretical method to predict the fundamental periods of the SPWF structures based on the basic theory of engineering mechanics. The proposed method estimates the SPWF structures as a shear system of steel frames and a shear-flexure system of SPWs separately, and calculates the fundamental periods of the SPWF structures according to the integration of lateral stiffness of the steel frames and the SPWs along the height. Finite element method (FEM) is used to analyze the periods of 45 case steel frames or SPWF buildings with different configurations, and the FEM is validated by the test results of four specimens. The errors cannot be ignored between FEM and theoretical results due to the simplifications. Thus the finial formula is proposed by correcting the theoretical equations. The relative errors between the periods predicted from the final proposed formula and the results of FEM are no more than 4.6%. The proposed formula could be reliably used for fundamental period estimation of new, existing and damaged SPWF buildings.

Background: As a negative regulator of P53, MDM2 plays an important role in carcinogenesis; a polymorphism in its promoter region. SNP309 T>G, is known to increase the expression of MDM2, thus being considered related to higher susceptibility to neoplasia. However, no agreement has been achieved regarding its effects on gastric cancer. Methods: The present systematic meta-analysis was performed based on comprehensive literature search from Pubmed, Web of science and CBM databases. Results: It was suggested from 6 independent studies that the GG genotype is associated with a significantly increased risk of gastric cancer (Recessive: OR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.08-1.91, P = 0.013), and subgroup analysis also confirmed the relationship (English publications-recessive model: OR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.10-1.91, P = 0.009; Studies in China-recessive model: OR = 1.58, 95% CI = 1.08-2.30, P = 0.017). No publication bias was detected. Conclusion: The meta-analysis indicated a significant inverse association between GG genotype carriage and elevated risk of gastric cancer. However, more studies and detailed information are needed to fully address the topic.

Jiang, Yanqing,Li, Ye,Su, Yumin,Cao, Jian,Li, Yueming,Wang, Youkang,Sun, Yeyi The Society of Naval Architects of Korea 2019 International Journal of Naval Architecture and Oc Vol.11 No.1

Changes in gravity and buoyancy of a Full Ocean Depth Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (FOD-AUV) during its descending and ascending process must be considered very carefully compared with a Human Occupied Vehicle (HOV) or a Remotely Pperated Vehicle (ROV) whose activities rely on human decision. We firstly designed a two-step weight dropping pattern to achieve a high descending and ascending efficiency and a gravity-buoyancy balance at designed depth. The static equations showed that gravity acceleration, seawater density and displacement are three key aspects affecting the balance. Secondly, we try our best to analysis the gravity and buoyancy changing according to the previous known scientific information, such as anomaly of gravity acceleration, changing of seawater states. Finally, we drew conclusion that gravity changes little (no more than 0.1kgf, it is impossible to give a accurate value). A density-depth relationship at the Challenger Deep was acquired and the displacement changing of the FOD-AUV was calculated preciously.
