Thermal spray processes are widely used to protect materials and components against wear, corrosion and oxidation. Despite
the use of the latest developments of thermal spraying, such as high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) and plasma spraying, these coatings
may in certain service conditions show inadequate performance,e.g., due to insufficient bond strength and/or mechanical properties and corrosion resistance inferior to those of corresponding
bulk materials. The main cause for a low bond strength in thermalsprayed coatings is the low process temperature, which results
only in mechanical bonding. Mechanical and corrosion properties typically inferior to wrought materials are caused by the
chemical and structural inhomogeneity of the thermal-sprayed coating material. To overcome the drawbacks of sprayed structures
and to markedly improve the coating properties, laser remelting of sprayed coatings was studied in the present work. The coating
material was nickel-based superalloy Inconel 625, which contains chromium and molybdenum as the main alloying agents. The
coating was prepared by HVOF spraying onto mild steel substrates. High-power continuous wave Nd:YAG laser equipped with large
beam optics was used to remelt the HVOF sprayed coating using different levels of power and scanning speed. The coatings as-sprayed
and after laser remelting were characterized by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Laser remelting
resulted in homogenization of the sprayed structure. This strongly improved the performance of the laser-remelted coatings
in adhesion, wet corrosion, and high-temperature oxidation testing. The properties of the laser-remelted coatings were compared
directly with the properties of as-sprayed HVOF coatings and with plasma-transferred arc (PTA) overlay coatings and wrought
Inconel 625 alloy. 相似文献

In comparison with pyeloplasty, endourologic procedures for the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction offer good success rates with less morbidity and a shorter hospitalization; however, studies have found lower success rates and increased complications in patients with crossing vessels. Conventional diagnostic angiography and intravenous urography have both been used to identify crossing vessels at the UPJ; but, a reliable, less invasive, less costly, and simpler preoperative procedure to identify crossing vessels is needed. Helical CT with CT angiography is a promising noninvasive technique for the identification of crossing vessels at the ureteropelvic junction, which can be used for surgical planning of endourologic treatment of UPJ obstruction. 相似文献

KinMutBase (http://www.uta.fi/laitokset/imt/KinMut Base.html) is a registry of mutations in human protein kinases related to disorders. Kinases are essential cellular signalling molecules, in which mutations can lead into diseases including, e.g., immunodeficiencies, cancers and endocrine disorders. The first release of KinMutBase contains information for nine protein tyrosine kinases. There are altogether 170 entries representing 273 families and 403 patients. Mutations appear both in conserved hallmark residues of the kinases as well as in non-homologous sites. The KinMutBase WWW pages provide plenty of information, namely mutation statistics and display, clickable sequences with mutations, restriction enzyme patterns and online submission. 相似文献

We have generated two conditionally immortalized neuronal cell lines from primary cultures of embryonic day 13 (E13) and postmitotic (postnatal day 0; P0) cortical neurons transformed with the temperature-sensitive SV-40 large-T antigen. Two clonal cell lines (CN1.4 from E13 cultures and SJ3.6 from P0 cultures) were isolated and stable maintained in vitro. Both cell lines expressed a number of neuronal markers such as the neurofilaments, glutamic acid decarboxylase 67, neuron-specific enolase, and the BG21 isoform of the myelin basic protein gene. At 34 degrees C, the CN1.4 cell line had elaborated short processes, whereas the SJ3.6 cell line produced long processes that formed a delicate network. When these cell lines were cultured at 39 degrees C, some of the cellular processes grew longer, adopting a more mature neuronal morphology. Interestingly, at 39 degrees C, the in vitro survival of these cell lines differed significantly. Whereas the survival of CN1.4 cell line was greatly unaffected, SJ3.6 cells died soon after they were cultured at 39 degrees C. The cell death of SJ3.6 cells was accompanied by fragmentation and condensation of DNA in their nuclei, indicative of an apoptotic event. Under these conditions, SJ3.6 showed an upregulation of the p75 receptor. When this cell line was cocultured with oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, or glial conditioned media (GCM), there was a marked increase in survival. In contrast, little effect of glial cells or GCM was observed on the CN1.4 cell line. These lines appear to be useful models to study neuronal-glial interactions in addition to neuronal cell death and the effects of glial factors that promote the survival of neurons. 相似文献

The long-term influence and contribution of research can be evaluated relatively reliably by bibliometric citation analysis.
Previously, productivity of nations has been estimated by using either the number of published articles or journal impact
factors and/or citation data. These studies show certain trends, but detailed analysis is not possible due to the assumption
that all articles in a journal were equally cited. Here we describe the first comprehensive, longterm, nationwide analysis
of scientific performance. We studied the lifetime research output of 748 Finnish principal investigators in biomedicine during
the years 1966–2000, analysed national trends, and made a comparison with international research production. Our results indicate
that analyses of the scientific contribution of persons, disciplines, or nations should be based on actual publication and
citation counts rather than on derived information like impact factors. 51% of the principal investigators have published
altogether 75% of the articles; however, the whole scientific community has contributed to the growth of biomedical research
in Finland since the Second World War. 相似文献

rECH1, a recently identified rat cDNA (FitzPatrick, D. R., Germain-Lee, E., and Valle, D. (1995) Genomics 27, 457-466) encodes a polypeptide belonging to the hydratase/isomerase superfamily. We modeled the structure of rECH1 based on rat mitochondrial 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase 1. The model predicts that rECH1p has the hydratase fold in the core domain and two domains for interaction with other subunits. When we incubated 3,5,8,11, 14-eicosapentaenoyl-CoA with purified rECH1p, the spectral data suggested a switching of the double bonds from the Delta3-Delta5 to the Delta2-Delta4 positions. This was confirmed by demonstrating that the product was a valid substrate for 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase. These results indicate that rECH1p is Delta3,5-Delta2,4-dienoyl-CoA isomerase. Subcellular fractionation and immunoelectron microscopy using antibodies to a synthetic polypeptide derived from the C terminus of rECH1p showed that rECH1p is located in the matrix of both mitochondria and peroxisomes in rat liver. Consistent with these observations, the 36,000-Da rECH1p has a potential N-terminal mitochondrial targeting signal as well as a C-terminal peroxisomal targeting signal type 1. Transport of the protein into the mitochondria with cleavage of the targeting signal results in a mature mitochondrial form with a molecular mass of 32,000 Da; transport to peroxisomes yields a protein of 36,000 Da. 相似文献

Escherichia coli β-lactamase was secreted into the culture medium of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in biologically active form, when fused to the C-terminus of the hsp150δ-carrier. The hsp150δ-carrier is an N-terminal fragment of the yeast hsp150 protein, having a signal peptide and consisting mostly of a 19 amino acid peptide repeated 11 times in tandem. Here we expressed the hsp150δ-carrier fragment alone in S. cerevisiae. Apparently due to a positional effect of the gene insertion, large amounts of the hsp150δ-carrier were synthesized. About half of the de novo synthesized carrier molecules were secreted into the culture medium, the rest remaining mostly in the pre-Golgi compartment. The extensively O-glycosylated carrier fragment was purified from the culture medium under non-denaturing conditions. Circular dichroism spectroscopy showed that it had no regular secondary structure. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed that a non-glycosylated synthetic peptide, the consensus sequence of the repetitive 19 amino acid peptide, also lacked secondary structure. The unstructured carrier polypeptide may facilitate proper folding and secretion of heterologous proteins attached to it. 相似文献

X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome (X-HIM) is an immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CD40 ligand (CD40L). A database (CD40Lbase) of CD40L mutations has now been established, and the resultant information, together with other mutations reported elsewhere in the literature, is presented here. 相似文献

A series of truncated proteins from a thermostable Bacillusstearothermophilus -amylase was prepared to study the importanceof the extension in the C-terminus compared with other liquefyingBacillus -amylases. The mutations introducing new translationtermination sites shortened the 515 amino acid residue-longwild type enzyme by 17, 32, 47, 73 or 93 residues. The longerthe truncation, the lower the specific activity of the enzyme.Only the two longest mutant proteins were active: the specificactivity of the 498 residue variant was 97% and protein 483was 36% that of the parental enzyme. The Km values of starchhydrolysis changed from 1.09 for wild type enzyme to 0.35 and0.21 for mutants 498 and 483, respectively, indicating alteredsubstrate binding. The mutant enzymes had almost identical pHand temperature optima with the wild type amylase, but enhancedthermal stability and altered end product profile. The consequencesof the truncation to the structure and function of the enzymeswere explored with molecular modeling. The liquefying amylasesseem to require {small tilde}480 residues to be active, whereasthe C-terminal end of B.stearothermophilus amylase is requiredfor increased activity. 相似文献

Mutations that cause X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) appear throughout the Bruton tyrosine kinase (Btk) sequence, including the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain. To analyze the basis of this disease with respect to protein structure, we studied the relationships between PH domain sequences and structures by comparing sequence-based profiles of physicochemical properties and solvent accessibility profiles. The diversity of the distribution of amino acids was measured by calculating entropies for sequences containing mutations at different positions in multiple sequence alignments. Mutual information was calculated to quantify positional covariation. Eight conserved extrema were apparent in all profiles. The majority of the XLA disease-causing mutations in the Btk PH domain were found at positions having significant mutual information, indicating that there are covariant constraints for both structure and function. Together with additional structural analyses, all the XLA mutations that were analyzed could be explained at the molecular level. The method developed here is applicable to the design of mutations for protein engineering. 相似文献
