The efficacy of Trichogramma against pests basically depends on the dispersal capacity of the wasps. A releaserecapture method was used in this study to evaluate the effect of relative wind speed (RWS) during the nighttime and the daytime on the dispersal capacity of postrelease population of Trichogramma dendrolimi Matsumura. Two repeated measurements were carried out, using sentinel cards with the host eggs and yellow sticky card traps on the third and the sixth day after wasp release. The results showed that: (1) both the number of recaptured wasps and parasitized eggs increased with the RWS in the daytime during the first three days. The number of parasitized eggs also increased with the RWS in the daytime over the latter three days. The distances that encompassed 98% recaptured T. dendrolimi adults (X 98 ) at the first three days was quadratically increased by the RWS of the daytime. (2) The number of wasps recaptured decreased with the distance from the releasing point during the first three days, but it was not influenced by the distance from the releasing point during the latter three days. (3) The average dispersal radius of the wasps during the first three days was shorter than during the latter three days. The present results will be helpful to improve release techniques based on the wind effects at different times.

Jin-cheng Zhou,Quanquan Liu,Yong-xu Han,Hui Dong 한국응용곤충학회 2018 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.21 No.3

Due to ongoing climate change, short-term extreme heat waves in the summer are expected to be more frequent. Insect eggs are sensitive to thermal stress. This raises the question of whether herbivore insects' thermal adaptability would be changed after a single extreme heat wave at the egg stage. In this study, we examined the developmental performance of Ostrinia furnacalis Guenée at 25 °C, 27 °C, 29 °C or 31 °C after a single extreme heat wave (42 °C) for 0 h (control), 1 h, 2 h, or 3 h at the egg stage. The results showed that O. furnacalis at the egg or larval stage was more sensitive to a single heat wave than it was at the pupae or adult stage. After a single heat wave, O. furnacalis showed a reduced egg-hatching rate or reduced larval survival rate, but the optimum temperature for egg hatching and larval survival was higher than that in the control. The upper temperature threshold and optimum temperature for larval development in the control were higher than that after a single extreme heat wave. Both male and female pupal weight decreased with increasing temperature, and pupal weight decreased faster in females than in males. The Cox proportional hazard model showed that when O. furnacalis developed at 25 °C, the instantaneous death risk of adults with a 3 h heat wave at the egg stage was higher than that of the control, but when O. furnacalis developed at 29 °C and 31 °C, the instantaneous death risk of adults after a heat wave was significantly lower than that of the control. Our study highlights the effect of a single heat wave on O. furnacalis eggs and the subsequent development of survival individuals.

Jin-Jian Wei,Lei Jin,Kun Wan,Cheng-He Zhou 대한화학회 2011 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.32 No.1

A series of novel glucose derived benzyl and alkyl 1,2,3-triazoles and their hydrochlorides have been synthesized via Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. All the new compounds were characterized by MS, IR and NMR spectra. The DEPT, APT, ^1H-^1H and ^1H-^13C 2D NMR spectra for some compounds were also recorded. These compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Bacillus subtilis,Bacillus proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, and antifungal activities against Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus. The bioactive data revealed that (3R,4S,5S,6S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-6-methoxy-4,5-bis((1-octyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methoxy)-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-ol 8a exhibited excellent antifungal activity against A. fumigatus with an MIC value of 0.055 mM compared to Fluconazole. It also showed broad inhibitory efficacy against tested bacterial strains with MIC values ranging from 0.049 mM to 0.39 mM.

Jin Cheng,Zhendong Zhou,Yixiong Feng,Zhenyu Liu,Yangyan Zhang 한국정밀공학회 2018 International Journal of Precision Engineering and Vol.19 No.5

In order to ensure the manufacturing precision of an ultra-precision high speed press, an integrated thermo-mechanical coupling model of its actuating mechanism is proposed, which includes the mechanical models of the slider and crankshaft, the thermal models for calculating the heat generation powers at different bearings as well as the heat transfer and heat dissipation in the actuating mechanism. The validity of the proposed thermo-mechanical coupling model is verified by a thermal equilibrium experiment when the press operates under the full load of 3000kN at 300 rpm. A sensitivity analysis is conducted to investigate the simulation errors resulting from the variation of the ambient temperature, the results of which demonstrate that the average ambient temperature should be applied for improving simulation accuracy. Then the thermal stiffness of the actuating mechanism and the thermo-mechanical coupling characteristics of different parts are analyzed by the proposed model with the average ambient temperature applied. The influences of the thermally induced loads on the thermal stiffness are discussed in detail. It is concluded that the temperature rise of the actuating mechanism in the stamping process of a high speed press should be fully considered in the design phase for ensuring its manufacturing precision.

Background: This study aimed to establish a nomogram by combining clinicopathologic factors with overall survival of stage IA-IIB cervical cancer patients after complete resection with pelvic lymphadenectomy. Materials and Methods: This nomogram was based on a retrospective study on 1,563 stage IA-IIB cervical cancer patients who underwent complete resection and lymphadenectomy from 2002 to 2008. The nomogram was constructed based on multivariate analysis using Cox proportional hazard regression. The accuracy and discriminative ability of the nomogram were measured by concordance index (C-index) and calibration curve. Results: Multivariate analysis identified lymph node metastasis (LNM), lymph-vascular space invasion (LVSI), stromal invasion, parametrial invasion, tumor diameter and histology as independent prognostic factors associated with cervical cancer survival. These factors were selected for construction of the nomogram. The C-index of the nomogram was 0.71 (95% CI, 0.65 to 0.77), and calibration of the nomogram showed good agreement between the 5-year predicted survival and the actual observation. Conclusions: We developed a nomogram predicting 5-year overall survival of surgically treated stage IA-IIB cervical cancer patients. More comprehensive information that is provided by this nomogram could provide further insight into personalized therapy selection.

<P>Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus has been one of the most problematic diseases in marine shrimp aquaculture throughout Southeast Asia and Latin America. To evaluate the effectiveness of a bacteriophage (phage) treatment for AHPND, a series of bioassays were carried out in a marine shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) model using an AHPND-V. parahaemolyticus strain that is highly pathogenic to shrimp. We monitored the mortality and histopathological changes during phage treatment. Shrimps treated with phage prophylaxis and phage therapy displayed significant protection from AHPND and survived a lethal bacterial challenge.</P>

High Char-Yield in AN-AM Copolymer by Acidic Hydrolysis of Homopolyacrylonitrile

Run Cheng,You Zhou,Jing Wang,Yumin Cheng,Seungkon Ryu,Riguang Jin 한국탄소학회 2013 Carbon Letters Vol.14 No.1

Acrylonitrile (AN)-acrylamide (AM) copolymers were prepared by nitric acidic hydrolysis of homopolyacrylonitrile. The acrylamino group increased as a function of hydrolysis time, while crystallinity decreased. Differential scanning calorimetry and a thermal gravimetric analysis indicated that the acylamino introduced by acidic hydrolysis effectively enhanced the cyclization reaction at low temperature due to the change of the cyclization reaction mechanism. Char-yield of AN-AM copolymers also gradually increased with increasing hydrolysis time. The maximum char-yield was 49.48% when hydrolized at 23°C in 65% nitric acid solution for 18 h, which was 30% higher than that of non-acidic hydrolysis of homopolyacrylonitrile. Simulation of the practical process also showed an increase of char yields, where the char yields were 55.43% and 62.60% for homopolyacrylonitrile and copolyacrylonitrile, respectively, with a hydrolysis time of 13 h.

Current aspects of small extracellular vesicles in pain process and relief

Lanyu Zhang,Jin Liu,Cheng Zhou 한국생체재료학회 2023 생체재료학회지 Vol.27 No.00

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have been identified as a noteworthy paracrine mechanism of intercellular communication in diagnosing and managing neurological disorders. Current research suggests that sEVs play a pivotal role in the pathological progression of pain, emphasizing their critical function in the pathological progression of pain in acute and chronic pain models. By facilitating the transfer of diverse molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and metabolites, sEVs can modulate pain signaling transmission in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Furthermore, the unique molecules conveyed by sEVs in pain disorders indicate their potential as diagnostic biomarkers. The application of sEVs derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in regenerative pain medicine has emerged as a promising strategy for pain management. Moreover, modified sEVs have garnered considerable attention in the investigation of pathological processes and therapeutic interventions. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge regarding the involvement of sEVs in pain pathogenesis and treatment. Nevertheless, additional research is imperative to facilitate their clinical implementation.
