Sidestream tobacco smoke exposure acutely alters human nasal mucociliary clearance

Nasal mucociliary clearance (NMC) is a biomarker of nasal mucosal function. Tobacco smokers have been shown to have abnormal NMC, but the acute effect of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) on nonsmokers is unknown. This study evaluated acute tobacco smoke-induced alterations in NMC in 12 healthy adults. Subjects were studied on 2 days, separated by at least 1 week. Subjects underwent a 60-min controlled exposure at rest to air or sidestream tobacco smoke (SS) (15 ppm CO) in a controlled environmental chamber. One hour after the exposure, 99mTc-sulfur colloid was aerosolized throughout the nasal passage and counts were measured with a scintillation detector. Six out of 12 subjects showed more rapid clearance after smoke exposure than after air exposure, and 3/12 had rapid clearance on both days. However, substantial decreases in clearance occurred in 3/12 subjects, all of whom had a history of ETS rhinitis. In two subjects, more than 90% of the tracer remained 1 hr after tracer administration (2 hr after smoke exposure). Understanding the basis for biologic variability in the acute effect of tobacco smoke on NMC may advance our understanding of pathogenesis of chronic effects of ETS.

压裂泵往复密封性能及机理研究

根据流体动压润滑理论，对压裂泵柱塞密封摩擦副的润滑机理进行了理论分析。在排出和吸入行程，柱塞密封摩擦副均能满足流体动压润滑的条件，即在柱塞与密封界面上能形成并保持一定厚度的油膜润滑密封，从而达到减小摩擦提高寿命的目的；建立了摩擦界面油膜厚度和泄漏量的计算公式。利用有限元法理论，对密封圈的压力沿轴向的分布规律、泄漏量与压力变化关系进行了模拟计算。对往复密封圈沿轴向压力分布、泄漏量随压力变化进行了测试；试验结果表明，建立的计算模型具有较高的计算精度，揭示了压裂泵的密封机理。     

Growth and optical property of zinc oxide thornballs

A new microstructure, thornball, of zinc oxide (ZnO) was synthesized by a very simple solid vapor deposition process under lead oxide (PbO) atmosphere. The microthornballs consist of numerous needles, which extend outwards in all directions symmetrically. They have dimensions of 120 μm in diameter, while the average diameter of the needles is about 100-200 nm. The needles on the balls grow along the 〈0 0 0 1〉 orientation and have gradient compositions along radial. Control experiments proved that PbO played an important role in the growth. Additionally, photoluminescence property was observed and provided the evidence that PbO did not deteriorate the optical properties of ZnO thornballs. This kind of microstructures has potential applications in the field of photochemical catalysis.

高炉炉渣流动性的实验研究

以宝钢高炉渣中的四大组元(CaO,SiO2,Al2O3,MgO)为基础,实验研究MgO,Al2O3含量及碱度对炉渣的熔化性温度和流动性的影响.结果表明,炉渣中Al2O3含量控制在16%,配制适量的MgO(9%～10%),在1 500℃以上的高温区域,炉渣仍能保持正常的流动性,适合炉缸温度充沛的高炉使用;MgO含量由6%增加到10%时,较明显地降低了炉渣粘度,粘度的递减值约为0.07～0.15 Pa.s.
