Introduction Current research investigated whether emotionality of content would facilitate the possibility to share information on social media by using event-related potentials. Theoretical development Emotionality is an excitatory state which evokes autonomic nervous system. Previous studies suggested that stimuli with high emotionality elicited increased P100/P200 amplitudes relative to stimuli with low emotionality (Huang & Luo, 2006). Research design We tested the purpose in an affective priming paradigm in which participants were exposed to online content (i.e. the prime stimulus) followed by a stimulus (i.e. the target stimuli) from International Affective Picture System. Participants were required to judge whether the target was neutral white picture. Next, a nine-point Likert scale was followed to assess the level of emotionality for online content. Result and conclusion We observed a congruency effect in the priming effect. More importantly, early brain potentials P100/P200 were higher when participants were exposed to online content with more possibility to share than online content with less possibility to share. This finding could be explained by the response level account theory (Fazio, 2001). This study provides an insight to neural mechanism underlying emotionality of online content.

Yujing Lv,Wenhua Zhang,Fan Wu,Huang Li,Yunsheng Zhang,Guodong Xu 한국콘크리트학회 2020 International Journal of Concrete Structures and M Vol.14 No.5

The previous researches on the degradation process of concrete under sulfate attack mainly focus on non-damaged concrete. It may lead to an excessive evaluation of the durability of the structure, which is detrimental to the safety of the structure. In this paper, three different damage degrees of concrete specimens with non-damaged (D0) and initial damage of 10% (D₁) and 20% (D₂) were prefabricated and subjected to sulfate attack and wetting–drying cycles. With the increase of sulfate attack cycles (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 cycles), the changes in mass loss, relative dynamic modulus of elasticity, and the stress–strain curve were studied. The results show that the mass of the D0 specimen had been increasing continuously before 150 sulfate attack cycles. The mass of D₁ and D₂ had been increasing before 60 cycles, and decreasing after 60 cycles. At 150 cycles, the mass loss of D0, D₁, D₂ were − 1.054%, 0.29% and 3.20%, respectively. The relative dynamic modulus of elasticity (RDME) of D0 specimen increases continuously before 90 sulfate attack cycles. After 90 cycles, the RDME gradually decreases. However, for D₁ and D₂ specimens, the RDME began to decrease after 30 cycles. The damage degree has an obvious influence on the compressive strength and elastic modulus. For the D0 specimen, the compressive strength and elastic modulus increased continuously before 90 cycles and decreased after 90 cycles. The compressive strength and elastic modulus of D₁ and D₂ specimens began to decrease after 30 cycles. The stress–strain curves of concrete with different initial damage degrees were established, and the fitting results were good. Finally, based on the analysis of experimental data, the degradation mechanism of concrete with initial damage under the sulfate wetting–drying cycle was discussed.

Yanpeng E,Liqiang Wan,Yujing Li,Farong Huang,Lei Du 대한화학회 2012 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.33 No.7

A series of novel polytriazoleimides were prepared from various aromatic dianhydrides and a new kind of 1,2,3-triazole-containing aromatic diamine synthesized by the Cu (I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction in DMAc, and characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR, XRD, DSC and TGA techniques. The results show the polytriazoleimides are soluble in most of strong polar solvents and have inherent viscosity values of 0.51-0.62 dL/g(DMAc). The polytriazoleimide films exhibit a tensile strength of 62.3-104.5 MPa and an elongation at breakage of 4.0-8.1%, a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 257-275 oC, a decomposition temperature (at 5% weight loss) of 350-401 oC in N2 atmosphere, and a dielectric constant of 2.47-3.01 at 10 MHz, which depend on the structure of the polymers. The polytriazoleimides perform good resistance to acid and alkali solution.

Lu Gao,Xuehua Pu,Yujing Huang,Jing Huang 한국유전학회 2019 Genes & Genomics Vol.41 No.6

Objectives Neuropathic pain (NP) is one of the main challenges towards NP syndrome treatment. miR-340-5p exhibit different expression levels in NP models. Its effects on NP remained unclear. The objective of this study was to explore the potential regulation mechanisms of miR-340-5p in NP. Methods Rat model of chronic constriction injury (CCI) was established to induce NP in vivo. NP levels were assessed using mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT). The inflammation response in CCI rats were determined by HE staining and ELISA assay. The target genes of miR-340-5p were verified by luciferase report assays. Results In CCI rats, level of miR-340-5p was down-regulated both in spinal cord tissues and isolated microglial cells. Paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) and paw withdrawal latency (PWL) were decreased in CCI rats, which were restored upon miR-340-5p overexpression. miR-340-5p overexpression also decreased inflammation as well as expression levels of COX- 2, IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 in CCI rats. Luciferase report assays revealed Rap1A was a target gene of miR-340-5p in the experimental model. Elevated miR-340-5p decreased Rap1A expression level in vitro and in vivo. Overexpression of Rap1A protein restored expression levels of COX-2, IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6, reduced the PWT and PWL and increased inflammation response in CCI rats. Conclusion miR-340-5p alleviated CCI-induced NP by targeting Rap1A. miR-340-5p and Rap1A may be the potential treatment targets for NP therapeutics.

Aerodynamic performance improvement of a transonic compressor rotor with a small plate near the leading edge

Surge and blockage are relatively common problems in compressors. To improve the aerodynamic performance of the compressor and expand the range of stable operating conditions, this paper proposes a new passive control method to improve the internal flow field of the compressor by adding tiny flat plates near the leading edge of blades. The effect of the tiny plate and its placement on the transonic compressor (NASA Rotor 37) was investigated by numerical simulations. The results show that, in the range of operating conditions studied in this paper, this passive control method, which puts the micro-plate at the leading edge of the blade, will form a micro-acceleration channel that can effectively reduce the flow separation in the suction surface of the blade. Although this makes the adiabatic efficiency of the compressor slightly decrease (the absolute reduction value is about 2 %), but it improves the blocking flow of the compressor (about 2 % increase), reduces the surge flow (about 4.9 % decrease) and also improves the pressure ratio of the compressor. Thus, this passive flow control method can effectively expand the range of stable operating conditions of the compressor, with certain theoretical and practical research value.

Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Properties of Chinese Ilicifolius Vegetable (Acanthopanax trifoliatus (L) Merr) and Its Reference Compounds

Huaqian Wang,Dongli Li,Zhi-Yun Du,Mou-Tuan Huang,Xiaoxing Cui,Yujing Lu,Chenyue Li,Swee Lian Woo,Allan H Conney,Xi Zheng,Kun Zhang 한국식품과학회 2015 Food Science and Biotechnology Vol.24 No.3

Stems and leaves of Acanthopanax trifoliatus (L) Merr (AT) are commonly used as an edible vegetable in China. The scientific basis of antioxidant and antiinflammatory activities of AT was investigated. The polyphenol contents and free radical scavenging activities of AT ethanol extracts (EAT) were determined. Chlorogenic acid, isochlorogenic acid A, isochlorogenic acid C, and rutin were identified as major components in EAT. LPS-induced NO production in RAW264.7 cells was decreased significantly (p<0.05) after EAT treatment, compared with controls. In vivo studies indicated that EAT had more activity than chlorogenic acid per mg of dry weight for inhibition of TPA-induced ear edema. TPA-induced increases in cytokine production (TNF-α, IL-6, MMP-9, and TIMP-1) were significantly (p<0.05) reduced by EAT treatment, compared with controls. EAT exerts anti-inflammatory activities probably due, at least in part, to chlorogenic acid.
