Jinyu Yang,Zhanxue Zhao,Shuai Li,Hekai Chen 대한기생충학ㆍ열대의학회 2019 The Korean Journal of Parasitology Vol.57 No.5

Echinococcosis is a disease caused by the Echinococcus species that parasitizes in humans. Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) which is caused by Echinococcus multilocularis is harmful to humans. AE mainly occurs in the liver and can be transferred to retroperitoneal lymph nodes, lung, brain, bone, spleen and other organs through lymphatic and blood vessels. Cholangiocarcinoma can occur in the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts and is more common in the hilar. We reported a case of hilar bile duct alveolar echinococcosis which was originally misdiagnosed an cholangiocarcinoma.

Jinyue He,Jiezhong Deng,Yusheng Yang,Tingting Zheng,Fei Luo,Jianzhong Xu,Zehua Zhang 대한척추신경외과학회 2023 Neurospine Vol.20 No.4

Objective: To illustrate a simultaneous single-position oblique lateral interbody fusion (SPOLIF) combined with unilateral percutaneous pedicle screw fixation in treating single-level lumbar tuberculosis, compared with posterior-only approach in clinical and radiographic evaluations. Methods: Consecutive patients who had undergone surgeries for single-level lumbar tuberculosis from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients included were divided into SP-OLIF and posterior-only groups according to surgical methods applied, with follow-up for at least 36 months. Outcomes included estimated blood loss, operative time, and complications for safety evaluation; visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for efficacy evaluation; erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) for evaluating tuberculosis activity; x-ray and computed tomography scan were used for radiographic evaluation. Results: A total of 136 patients had been enrolled in the study (60 for SP-OLIF and 76 for Posterior-only). The median operative time, blood loss, and hospital stay in SP-OLIF group were significantly less, with a lower complication rate. Meanwhile, the SP-OLIF group showed substantially lower VAS in 1 and 7 days and decreased ODI in the first month postoperatively, without significant difference afterward. Similarly, the median CRP and ESR in SP-OLIF group were significantly lower in 3 and 7 days postoperatively. All indicators had reduced to normal after 3 months. No recurrence had been reported throughout the whole follow-up. Conclusion: SP-OLIF was an efficient minimally invasive protocol for single-level lumbar tuberculosis, facilitating earlier clinical improvement, with decreased blood loss, operative time and hospital stay compared with posterior-only approach.

Yang Bo,Qing Wang,Jinyu Wang,Yan Cai,Wencheng Yue,Shuxiao Wang,Wei Wang,Mingbin Yu 한국광학회 2023 Current Optics and Photonics Vol.7 No.2

We propose a highly directional waveguide grating antenna for an optical phased array, achieving high directionality of more than 97% by interleaving the trenches with different etching depths in the silicon nitride layer, and adopting a multilayered structure. Meanwhile, the multilayered structure reduces the perturbation strength, which enables a centimeter-scale radiation length. The beam-steeringrange is 13.2°, with a wavelength bandwidth of 100 nm. The 1-dB bandwidth of the grating is 305 nm. The multilayered grating structure has a large tolerance to the fabrication variation and is compatible with CMOS fabrication techniques.

Yang Guangyou,Jiang Jinyu,Xie Zhenliang,GAN Xiong 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Future Generation Communi Vol.9 No.1

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are a new kind of data acquisition technology for danger area warning to ensure the safety of personnel production operation. In order to apply the suitable wireless node localization algorithm for danger area warning,an improved CT-IPIT+ algorithm is proposed in this paper.Considered the "edge effect", the algorithm improved the interior point judgment rules which reduces the error rate of Out-To-In effectively.Through the selection of reasonable restriction threshold, the In-To-Out error is eliminated.By counting number of inside and outside judgement results, the purpose of reducing the total error rate of misjudgment is further realized.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the rate of two types of errors and the total error rate can be controlled under 6.3%.

Xiongyu Luo,Muxuan Yang,Jinyu Bu,Tiantong Chen,Allen Y. Yi,Weinan Xu 한국고분자학회 2023 Macromolecular Research Vol.31 No.8

The integration of two or more types of metal oxides in the same nanostructures leads to several unique characteristics including tunable optical properties and band gap, enhanced catalytic property and stability. However, current approaches for the generation of those mixed metal oxides are predominantly based on bottom-up synthesis, which have limitations in fabricating precise nanostructures with monodispersed size and shape, and low compatibility with lithography-based micro-/nanofabrication processes. Here, we report a new approach for the precise fabrication of nanostructured mixed metal oxides (NMMOs) by the integration of soft nanoimprinting and sol–gel synthesis. The hybrid ink for nanoimprinting is composed of metal–organic compound and metal oxide colloidal nanoparticles of different metal species, after nanoimprinting, sol–gel reaction, and calcination, NMMOs with well-defined size and geometry are successfully obtained. The morphology, size, composition, and crystalline structure of the NMMOs are systematically tuned and studied, their potential application in photocatalysis is also investigated.

Wei Han,Ruizhang Yang,Wang Xiang,Chao Liu,Weidong Ma,Jinyu Wen 전력전자학회 2019 ICPE(ISPE)논문집 Vol.2019 No.5

In this paper, a three-terminal hybrid HVDC system based on LCC and hybrid MMC is proposed, which has the ability of DC fault clearance. The system combines the merits of hybrid HVDC system and multi-terminal HVDC system, which is able to deliver bulk renewable power to multiple receiving power grids at a relatively lower cost. By utilizing hybrid MMC as the inverters, the system has the capability to ride through DC faults. The topology and the operating characteristics of the system are introduced in detail. The design of the hybrid MMC is analyzed. The control strategy and the DC fault ride through strategy are proposed. Finally, the model of three-terminal HVDC system is built in PSCAD / EMTDC. The simulation verifies the effectiveness of the control strategy and the DC fault ride through strategy. The results indicate that this kind of HVDC system has a good application prospect in bulk power transmission to the multiple remote receiving regional power grids and the DC fault ride through ability proposed for the system operates well.

Hongyan Xing,Xu Yang,Jinyu Zhang 대한전기학회 2019 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.14 No.6

In order to accurately obtain the location of thunderstorm cloud and improve the accuracy and stability of thunderstorm cloud localization, a thunderstorm cloud localization algorithm of a three-dimensional atmospheric electric feld apparatus is proposed. An electric feld measurement model is established, and the localization parameters are defned based on the model. According to the theory of mirror method, the potential distribution of the thunderstorm cloud at the atmospheric electric feld apparatus is obtained. Using the potential distribution formula, the three-dimensional electric feld components are derived and the thunderstorm cloud coordinates are obtained. The relationship between the electric feld component measurement error, the azimuth angle, the elevation angle and the ranging and direction-fnding accuracy is given, and the localization performance is analyzed. The results show that the method has a ranging error rate of about 5% and a directionfnding error rate of about 3%, which has a good localization efect.

Danyang Wang,Yu Yang,Jinyu Li,Bin Wang,Ailian Zhang 대한수의학회 2021 Journal of Veterinary Science Vol.22 No.3

Background: New-generation adjuvants for foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) vaccines can improve the efficacy of existing vaccines. Chinese medicinal herb polysaccharide possesses better promoting effects. Objectives: In this study, the aqueous extract from Artemisia rupestris L. (AEAR), an immunoregulatory crude polysaccharide, was utilized as the adjuvant of inactivated FMDV vaccine to explore their immune regulation roles. Methods: The mice in each group were subcutaneously injected with different vaccine formulations containing inactivated FMDV antigen adjuvanted with three doses (low, medium, and high) of AEAR or AEAR with ISA-206 adjuvant for 2 times respectively in 1 and 14 days. The variations of antibody level, lymphocyte count, and cytokine secretion in 14 to 42 days after first vaccination were monitored. Then cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response and antibody duration were measured after the second vaccination. Results: AEAR significantly induced FMDV-specific antibody titers and lymphocyte activation. AEAR at a medium dose stimulated Th1/Th2-type response through interleukin-4 and interferon-γ secreted by CD4+ T cells. Effective T lymphocyte counts were significantly elevated by AEAR. Importantly, the efficient CTL response was remarkably provoked by AEAR. Furthermore, AEAR at a low dose and ISA-206 adjuvant also synergistically promoted immune responses more significantly in immunized mice than those injected with only ISA-206 adjuvant and the stable antibody duration without body weight loss was 6 months. Conclusions: These findings suggested that AEAR had potential utility as a polysaccharide adjuvant for FMDV vaccines.

Enhanced separation for paraffin wax using CO2-responsive emulsions based on switchable hydrophilicity solvents

Jie Qi,Xiaojiang Li,Xin Lv,Yang Ge,Jinyu Wang,Hongsheng Lu 한국공업화학회 2022 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.110 No.-

Wax precipitation leads to destructive harms in the exploitation and transportation of petroleum. Solventtreatments can remove paraffin wax easily but the separation of solvent relying on distillation is admittedinefficient. Aiming at enhancing the separation and recovery performance of paraffin wax, CO2-responsive emulsion (SHS/W emulsion) based on switchable hydrophilicity solvents (SHS) is adopted. Since the paraffin wax is dissolved, emulsified, and dispersed by SHS/W emulsion, SHS/W emulsion exhibitsbetter removal performance than SHS. The paraffin wax is recovered effectively upon introducingCO2, which attributes to the transformation of SHS from hydrophobic to hydrophilic state. Comparedwith the SHS system, the recovery of paraffin wax is improved obviously by introducing surfactantSpan80. Owing to the deprotonation of SHS by bubbling N2 and heating, 77.6% SHS is recycled after recoveringparaffin wax. Here, the recycled SHS can be used to realize the removal of paraffin wax again. Thus,it is a promising and alternative strategy for realizing the sustainable and rapid removal of paraffin wax inthe petroleum industry.
