Viaduct increases the height of subway catenary, namely magnifies lightning attraction scope that lead to higher possibility of suffering lightning stroke. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze performance of lightning striking to catenary of subway in viaduct section and propose an improving lightning protection scheme. In this paper, using ATP-EMTP simulation software to establish an associated model to evaluate lightning withstand level of catenary with existing lightning protection schemes including arrester and grounding point, an improving lightning protection scheme is proposed - every pillar ground earth and arresters are installed with some installing spacing between 200m to 400m based on lightning damage degree and reliability requirements - according to analyzing results: while lightning withstand level is lowest for lightning striking to the neutral pillar, lightning withstand level is greatest for lightning striking to the both-ends pillar that arrester and grounding point are both installed; grounding point could obviously improve lightning withstand level for lightning striking to ground wire while arrester could obviously improve the lightning withstand level for lightning striking to catenary; every pillar ground earth could enhance the lowest lightning withstanding level up to 2.5 times than of that pillar ground earth across every 200m.

Wei, Rui-Xue,Wang, Wen-Ping,Ding, Hong,Huang, Bei-Jian,Li, Chao-Lun,Fan, Pei-Li,Hou, Jun,He, Nian-An Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2012 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.13 No.2

This study was conducted to retrospectively evaluate the pattern of contrast enhancement with SonoVue on gray-scale ultrasonography of hepatic angiomyolipoma (HAML). Imaging features of 33 pathologically proven HAML lesions in 33 patients who underwent baseline ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) were assessed retrospectively. All lesions were enhanced in the arterial phase and showed whole-tumor filling in. Thirty-two of 33 (97%) lesions showed early positive enhancement in the arterial phase. Twenty-three of these exhibited isoechoic or hyperechoic features in the portal phase. HAML demonstrate characteristic manifestations with SonoVue-enhanced real-time gray-scale ultrasonography.

Sans-fille (SNF) is the Drosophila homologue ofmammalian general splicing factors U1A and U2B″, and plays an important role in sex determination in Drosophilamelanogaster. In this study, the snf gene fromAntheraea pernyi (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), an economically important insect, was isolated and characterized. The obtained 925 bp cDNA sequence contains an open reading frame of 669 bp encoding a polypeptide of 222 amino acids,showing 78% sequence identity to that from D. melanogaster. A database search revealed that SNF protein homologs are present in many animals, including invertebrates and vertebrates, with more than 70% amino acid sequence identities, suggesting that they were highly conserved during the evolution of animals. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that A. pernyi SNF was closely related to Bombyx mori SNF. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis showed that the A. pernyi snf gene was transcribed during five larval developmental stages,and in six tested tissues (ovaries, testes, silk glands, fat body, integument, and hemolymph),with the most abundance determined in the gonads (ovaries or testes). Investigation of expression changes throughout embryonic development indicated that A. pernyi snfmRNAwas expressed at a lowlevel fromdays 0 to 4, and reached amaximum level at day 10, but decreased to a low level before hatching. These results suggest that the product of the snf gene may play important roles in the development of A. pernyi.

Isolation and Identification of Lipopeptide Antibiotics from Paenibacillus elgii B69 with Inhibitory Activity Against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Rui Ding,Chao-Dong Qian,Yi Teng,Ou Li,Zha-Jun Zhan,Yu-Hua Zhao,Xue-Chang Wu 한국미생물학회 2011 The journal of microbiology Vol.49 No.6

Two lipopeptide antibiotics, pelgipeptins C and D, were isolated from Paenibacillus elgii B69 strain. The molecular masses of the two compounds were both determined to be 1,086 Da. Mass-spectrometry, amino acid analysis and NMR spectroscopy indicated that pelgipeptin C was the same compound as BMY-28160, while pelgipeptin D was identified as a new antibiotic of the polypeptin family. These two peptides were active against all the tested microorganisms, including antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacterial strains such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Time-kill assays demonstrated that pelgipeptin D exhibited rapid and effective bactericidal action against MRSA at 4×MIC. Based on acute toxicity test, the intraperitoneal LD50 value of pelgipeptin D was slightly higher than that of the structurally related antimicrobial agent polymyxin B. Pelgipeptins are highly potent antibacterial and antifungal agents, particularly against MRSA, and warrant further investigation as possible therapeutic agents for bacteria infections resistant to currently available antibiotics.

Barrier Optical Waveguide Fabrication in LiNbO3 Crystal by 4.5-MeV LithiumIon Implantation with Low Dose

Xue-Lin Wang,Ding-Yu Shen,Gang Fu,Hong-Ji Ma,Ke-Ming Wang,Rui Nie,Shi-Ling Li 한국물리학회 2005 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.46 No.1

A barrier planar waveguide was fabricated in z-cut LiNbdO3 crystals by 4.5-MeV lithium ion implantation at a dose of 3 £ 1014 ions/cm2 at room temperature. Dark modes were observed by the prism-coupling method with wavelengths of both 633 nm and 1539 nm. The refractive index pro¯les were reconstructed by using the re°ectivity calculation method. There were about 1.1 % and 0.7 % decreases at the optical barriers of the ordinary and extraordinary refractive index at the wavelength at 633 nm, and the positions of the optical barriers were close to those of the damage peaks calculated by the TRIM098 (Transport of Ions in Matter) code. It is found that the refractive index change may be partly due to the damage induced by nuclear collision.

Li Dong,Rui-Mei Feng,Li Zhang,Xiao-qian Xu,Xue-Lian Zhao,Margaret Zhuoer Wang,You-Lin Qiao,Fang-Hui Zhao 대한부인종양학회 2017 Journal of Gynecologic Oncology Vol.28 No.5

Objective: To investigate the extent of the cross-reactivity of hybrid capture 2 (HC2) assay andevaluate the potential effect of cross-reactivity on the long-term risk for cervical cancer andprecancers. Methods: Based on the Shanxi Province Cervical Cancer Screening Study-I (SPOCCS-I)cohort from 2005 to 2014 in Shanxi, China, SPF10-line probe assay (LiPA) was performedin all 598 HC2 positive and 300 random-selected HC2 negative cervical specimens. Tenyearcumulative incidence rate (CIR) of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse(CIN2+) of these two tests was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Possible humanpapillomavirus (HPV) types to be cross-reacted by HC2 were also analyzed. Results: The overall agreement between HC2 and SPF10-LiPA for detecting carcinogenic HPVwas 73.27%. The highest 10-year cumulative risk of CIN2+ was observed in both HC2 positiveand LiPA-carcinogenic HPV positive women (25.70%; 95% confidence interval [CI]=23.55%–27.91%), followed by HC2 positive but LiPA-non-carcinogenic HPV positive women (9.97%;95% CI=8.57%–11.50%), HC2 negative but LiPA-carcinogenic HPV positive (2.56%; 95%CI=2.44%–2.70%) and HC2 positive but LiPA-HPV negative (1.85%; 95% CI=1.78%–1.92%)women. The proportion of cross-reactivity of HC2 with untargeted carcinogenic types was8.9%, most of which were attributable to HPV26, 73, 82, 69, 71, 53, 11, 43, and 54. Conclusion: The noticeable high risk of CIN2+ in women infected with cross-reacted noncarcinogenicHPV and low risk in those with miss-to-detective carcinogenic HPV supportedan overall good clinical performance of HC2 for a general cervical cancer screening.

Xue-Lian Zhao,Shang-Ying Hu,Qian Zhang,Li Dong,Rui-Mei Feng,Ross Han,Fang-Hui Zhao 대한부인종양학회 2017 Journal of Gynecologic Oncology Vol.28 No.4

Objective: To explore the genotype distribution of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) and its attribution to different grades of cervical lesions in rural China, which will contribute to type-specific HPV screening tests and the development of new polyvalent HPV vaccines among the Chinese population. Methods: One thousand two hundred ninety-two subjects were followed based on the Shanxi Province Cervical Cancer Screening Study I (SPOCCS-I), and screened by HPV DNA testing (hybrid capture® 2 [HC2]), liquid-based cytology (LBC), and if necessary, directed or random colposcopy-guided quadrant biopsies. HPV genotyping with linear inverse probe hybridization (SPF10-PCR-LiPA) was performed in HC2 positive specimens. Attribution of specific HR-HPV type to different grades of cervical lesions was estimated using a fractional contribution approach. Results: After excluding incomplete data, 1,274 women were included in the final statistical analysis. Fifteen point two percent (194/1,274) of women were HR-HPV positive for any of 13 HR-HPV types (HPV16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, and 68) and the most common HR-HPV types were HPV16 (19.1%) and HPV52 (16.5%). The genotypes most frequently detected in HR-HPV-positive cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 (CIN1) were HPV52 (24.1%), HPV31 (20.7%), HPV16 (13.8%), HPV33 (13.8%), HPV39 (10.3%), and HPV56 (10.3%); in HR-HPV-positive cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+): HPV16 (53.1%), HPV58 (15.6%), HPV33 (12.5%), HPV51 (9.4%), and HPV52 (6.3%). HPV52, 31, 16, 33, 39, and 56 together contributed to 89.7% of HR-HPV-positive CIN1, and HPV16, 33, 58, 51, and 52 together contributed to 87.5% of CIN2+. Conclusion: In summary, we found substantial differences in prevalence and attribution of CINs between different oncogenic HPV types in a rural Chinese population, especially for HPV16, 31, 33, 52, and 58. These differences may be relevant for both clinical management and the design of preventive strategies.

Microstructure and depolarization behavior of ZnO-added (Bi0.5Na0.5)0.94Ba0.06TiO3 lead-free ceramics sintered at different heating rates

Han-li Lian,Rui-xue Cheng 한양대학교 세라믹연구소 2019 Journal of Ceramic Processing Research Vol.20 No.5

The ZnO-added (Bi0.5Na0.5)0.94Ba0.06TiO3 (denoted as BNBTZ) ceramics were prepared by means of a solid-state reaction method. The ceramics were sintered at 0.5 oC/min and 9 oC/min. Their microstructure, phase structure, piezoelectric, and dielectric properties were investigated. Both the ceramics exhibit dense microstructures. Compared to the ceramics sintered at 0.5 oC/min, those sintered at 9 oC/min have smaller grains. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive spectrum reveal that the ceramics exhibit two phases, i.e., BNBTZ phase with perovskite structure and ZnO phase. The movement of the peak position implies enlargement of the crystallite lattice due to the entrance of Zn2+ ions into the lattice. The effect of sintering rates on depolarization behavior was discussed.
