Diagnostic significance of CT in the orbital inflammatory lesions

OBJECTIVE: To analyze and summarize the CT signs of orbital inflammatory lesions. METHOD: HITACH-W, or EXEL 2400 pattern of CT was applied for the orbital scanning of 52 cases with orbital inflammatory lesions proved by clinicopathology. RESULTS: The CT signs of orbital inflammatory lesions in our series included exophthalmos, orbital mass, ill-marginated mass, multiple space involvement, extraocular muscle enlargement, scleral thickening, eyelid thickening, optic nerve thickening, orbital fat density increasing, lacrimal gland enlargement, sinusitis, subperiosteal abscess, ring-enhancement in masses, etc. CONCLUSION: All these findings on CT are of important significance for the diagnosis of orbital inflammatory lesions.     

Inoculation mechanism of rare earth–Mg alloy in molten cast iron

The dissolution region of RE–Mg (RE=rare earth) alloy in the reaction chambers of in-mould inoculated castings was studied by scanning electron microscopy and on electron microprobe. The dissolution region of the inoculant was divided into 7 zones according to its microstructure. The RE–Mg alloy is composed of Mg2Si, a Mg2Si–Si eutectic, FeSi, RE–Mg–Si and other silicides. The dissolution of the alloy is a process in which the low melting point phases such as Mg2Si, a Mg2Si–Si eutectic and RE–Mg–Si dissolve first, and the high melting point phases such as FeSi and FeSi2 dissolve later. In addition, some intermediate products form during the dissolution process. This causes a concentration gradient of Mg and RE in the melt which results in a transition of the graphite morphology from normal spheroid to open nodule, vermicular and flake graphite. The dissolution of the FeSi phase in the melt forms local sites of high silicon concentration which promote the nucleation and growth of the graphite. © 1998 Chapman & Hall

InGaAs（P）分别限制应变单量子阱激光器的优化设计

针对较常用的ＩｎＧａＡｓ（Ｐ）分别限制应变单量子阱激光器，给出了为得到最大净增益的优化设计参数。对于激射波长为１．５５μｍ的无应变激光器，最佳的光限制层波长为１．２４μｍ，厚度为１００ｎｍ。当阱材料引入压缩应变后．由于价带的有效状态密度减小，量子阱激光器的微分增益变大，阱深的增大对增大线性增益的效果更加明显．所以最佳光限制层的波长将变短，为１．２０μｍ

Quantitative analysis of the peripheral blood cytotoxic T lymphocyte response in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection

Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are present in the peripheral blood and liver of chronically infected patients. The current study was performed to study the relationship between the strength of the CTL response, liver disease severity, and viral load. The results may be summarized as follows: first, using CTL precursor frequency (CTLpf) analysis to quantitate the peripheral blood CTL response, chronically infected patients were less strongly sensitized to a panel of well-defined HCV epitopes than they were to an epitope within the influenza matrix protein. Second, HCV-specific CTLpf did not correlate with disease activity or viral load in the majority of patients on a cross-sectional basis, although it did increase in three patients concomitant with sharp increases in liver disease. Finally, interferon therapy did not enhance the CTLpf against the HCV epitopes studied in these patients, indicating that its antiviral effect is independent of the CTL response. Since the HCV-specific CTLpf in the blood is actually quite low, the CTL may contribute to ongoing liver disease in these patients while being quantitatively inadequate to destroy all of the infected hepatocytes, thereby facilitating HCV persistence and contributing to chronic liver disease.
