Cu－Zn－Al合金中贝氏体的有序性

本文用Ｘ射线研究了Ｃｕ－２０Ｚｎ－６Ａｌ（ｗｔ％）合金中贝氏体结构的有序性，并与马氏体结构进行了比较，实验表明，从高温Ｂ２母相和低温Ｌ２１母相生成的贝氏体中（１１５）和（２０５）衍射峰或（１２１０）和（２０１０）衍射峰是重叠的，对生成的贝氏体进行一段时间的保温或缓慢冷却处理，其衍射峰的特征并不改变，这与马氏体（１１５）和（２０５）衍射峰或（１２１０）和（２０１０）衍射峰的分离特性不相符合。说明贝氏体结构有序度与马氏体明显不同，它的形成不可能继承母相的有序度。     

Fluorescence in situ hybridization mapping of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene to 7q31.3

We have used the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique to refine the localization of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene on human chromosome 7. The result shows that the gene is most likely located within band q31.3.     

Coincident indices of exons and introns

In this paper, the coincident index, proposed by W. F. Friedman in cryptology, is made use of in DNA sequence analysis and exon prediction. The coincident index of exons exceeds that of introns by many times, and is mainly affected by window length, which is correlated negatively with the coincident index. An optimal exon prediction scheme was obtained by experimental analysis with an orthogonal table. Besides exons, many other special sites such as tandem repeats can be identified by using the coincident index approach. The application of this approach to the ARV-2 (AIDS associated retrovirus 2) genome found three new possible coding regions and some unusual base composition regions which are probably related to definite biological functions.     

Mechanism analysis of gate-induced drain leakage in off-state n-MOSFET

An analytical expression for both band-to-band and band-trap-band indirect tunnelings is used to study the gate-induced drain leakage (GIDL) current of MOSFETs measured before and after hot-carrier stress. The voltage and temperature dependence of GIDL are characterized. Both results show that interface traps situated near the midgap participate in the conduction of GIDL, and band-trap-band indirect tunneling could be the major mechanism. This is further supported by the fact that the percentage increase in GIDL induced by hot-carrier stress is about the same as the corresponding increase in interface-trap density. On the other hand, under low-field conditions, trap-assisted Poole–Frenkle emission dominates over tunneling for temperatures even well below room temperature.

Effects of thymectomy and glucocorticoid therapy on peripheral lymphocytes in myasthenia gravis

Clinical manifestations and peripheral blood lymphocyte subset changes were studied in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) to elucidate the mechanism of clinical improvement following treatment, with thymectomy (Tx) or glucocorticoid (GC) therapy. The changes found were: 1. There was a significant increase in percentages of CD3+, CD29+ CD4+ cells and CD4/CD8 ratio and a significant decrease in percentages of CD8+ and CD16,56+ cells in patients who had never been treated with any immune therapy. 2. After Tx or GC therapy, CD3+ and CD4+, CD29+ cells were decreased, but the number CD19+ and CD16, CD56 cells did not change. 3. Tx had a special effect on CD8+ cells. In most of the patients who showed clinical improvement after Tx, CD8+ cells were increased and CD4/CD8 ratio wad decreased. 4. Anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChRAb) titers were markedly decreased after GC therapy. These results indicate that there were obvious abnormalities in cell-mediated immunity in addition to those in humoral immunity in myasthenia gravis. These abnormalities tended to be normalized after Tx or GC therapy.     

Kinetics of modification of the mitochondrial succinate-ubiquinone reductase by 5,5''-dithiobis-(2-nitro-benzoic acid)

In the present study, we examined the effect of the thromboxane/prostaglandin endoperoxide analogue U46619 on proliferation and hypertrophy in cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells and the roles of protein kinase C and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) in the mediation of the hypertrophic response to U46619. Since an increase in basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) was previously shown to mediate the hypertrophic response to U46619, we also assessed the relationship between bFGF and TGF-beta in the expression of U46619 actions. U46619 increased [35S]methionine incorporation into protein and protein content of vascular smooth muscle cells but had no effect on cell number. A role for TGF-beta was supported by the following observations: (1) exogenous human TGF-beta 1 increased protein synthesis; (2) antibody to TGF-beta blocked both TGF-beta- and U46619-induced increases in protein content; (3) U46619 increased active and total TGF-beta bioactivities; and (4) the actions of U46619 on protein content and TGF-beta bioactivity were blocked by the thromboxane/prostaglandin endoperoxide receptor antagonist SQ 29,548. Previous observations had demonstrated a role for bFGF in the expression of U46619 actions on protein synthesis. Results of the present study suggest that TGF-beta and bFGF interact in mediating the protein synthetic response to U46619. First, the concentration of exogenous TGF-beta (10 pmol/L) alone required to produce a protein synthetic response equivalent to that induced by U46619 was much higher than the concentration of endogenous active TGF-beta that accumulated in the media in response to U46619 (0.7 pmol/L). Second, bFGF (20 ng/mL) increased total TGF-beta bioactivity and stimulated protein synthesis. The hyper-trophic response to bFGF was blocked by anti-TGF-beta. The ability of U46619 and bFGF to increase protein synthesis and protein content in vascular smooth muscle cells was associated with TGF-beta-induced suppression of proliferation, as evidenced by the ability of antibody to TGF-beta to enhance U46619- and bFGF-induced increases in [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA. Results of the present study also supported a role for protein kinase C in the expression of U46619 and bFGF actions. U46619 increased protein kinase C activity in the particulate fraction of vascular smooth muscle cells. Moreover, the protein kinase C inhibitors GF109203X and staurosporine blocked U46619- and bFGF-induced increases in protein synthesis as well as active and total TGF-beta bioactivities. By contrast, the protein kinase C inhibitors did not prevent the increases in protein synthesis induced by exogenous TGF-beta. The results demonstrate that thromboxane/prostaglandin endoperoxide signals increased TGF-beta bioactivity via protein kinase C. Increases in both bFGF and TGF-beta are required for an optimal hypertrophic response to U46619. The hypertrophic response to TGF-beta occurs through a protein kinase C-independent pathway.     

A Method of Combined SHPB Technique and BP Neural Network to Study Impact Response of Materials

Abstract:  A new method combining the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) technique with the back-propagation (BP) neural network program is proposed. By this method, the treated strain wave signals become smooth with less noises induced by the transverse inertia. Moreover, the dynamic rate-dependent constitutive behaviour of materials can be identified, without any pre-assumption of a constitutive model. It is found that by taking the experimentally measured data of strain, strain rate and time as 'input' and the corresponding data of stress as 'output' of the BP neural network, the dynamic constitutive behaviour with internal damage or phase transformation evolution is easy to be identified, where the time could represent either the internal damage evolution or phase transformation process accompanied with the deformation process. It is emphasised that the data learnt by the BP neural network must include both loading and unloading processes, if the whole loading and unloading response is to be correctly predicted. The comparisons between the predictions and experimental results are in good agreement for both polyamide (PA) polymer (as an example of nonlinear viscoelastic materials) and Ti–Ni alloy (as an example of superelastic materials with stress-induced phase transformation).     

A force modulation study on crystallization process in ferroelectric vinylidene fluoride and trifluoroethylene copolymer films

This paper introduces the Force Modulation technique to the study of crystallization process in ferroelectric vinylidene fluoride and trifluoroethylene copolymer films. Using this technique we have successfully visualized ferroelectric crystalline domains and observed that these ferroelectric domains grow out from amorphous phase, unite into strip-like structures, and finally congregate into a union. Force Modulation can weaken the influence of topography on imaging of ferroelectric domains, and reveal more details, which are difficult to be observed in topographical image.
