LC Coupled with TOFMS for Metabonomics Study of Mini-pigs with Atherosclerosis

In this study, serum metabolic profiles of mini-pigs with atherosclerosis (AS) were analyzed by LC–TOFMS. Partial least-squares to latent structure-discriminant analysis and orthogonal projection to latent structure-discriminant analysis were used for group differentiation and selection of potential biomarkers. The mini-pig disease models were constructed by feeding a high-fat diet and inducing coronary injury, in accordance with the mechanism of AS pathogenesis. To characterize the development of AS, serum samples were collected and analyzed at two time points (two and ten weeks). Separate distinct clustering of results from normal and model mini-pigs could be observed for both the two and ten-week samples. With the development of AS, the metabolism of the model mini-pigs was more substantially disturbed. Major metabolites contributing to the discrimination were fatty acids, lysophosphatidylcholines, and bile acids. These potential biomarkers are related with inflammation, oxidative stress, and abnormal lipid and energy metabolism.

     

Corrosion inhibition of ammonium molybdate for AA6061 alloy in NaCl solution and its synergistic effect with calcium gluconate

The corrosion inhibition of ammonium heltamolybdate (AH) and calcium gluconate (CG) for AA6061 alloy in 3% NaCl solution was investigated by the electrochemical measurements. It indicates that AH inhibits the corrosion of AA6061 alloy and acts as an anodic inhibitor. Maximum inhibition efficiency reaches 74.3% at the concentration of 1 × 10^?4 mol.l^?1 AH. The results of the electrochemical studies reveal AH is physically adsorbed on the AA6061 alloy surface and the adsorption follows Langmuir isotherm. The combination of AH and CG enhances the inhibition efficiency to 95.9%. The enhanced inhibition is attributed to the promotion of AH adsorption by CG. The mixture of AH and CG is a mixed‐type inhibitor and renders the corrosion potential to more positive values. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The Perturbation of the Interface of the Two-dimensional Diffraction Problem and an Approximating Muskat Modal

ln this paper, a new transformation is found out to straighten the interface Γ_2 x = f(y), f ∈ C^{2+a}([0, a]), f_y|_y =0, δ < f < l-δ,δ > 0,δ,l=constants and a perturbation of the interface is considered for a two dimensional diffraction problem. And the existence, uniqueness and regularity of an appeoximating Muskat model are proved.

利用Forster能量传递机制,研究了氯仿溶液中吖啶黄向5、10-二(对-氨基)四苯基卟啉(简称TBP)的激发能量传递和TBP.浓度变化时对能量传递速度常数的影响.实验结果表明,吖啶黄和TBP之间具备能量共振传递的条件,并且计算了能量共振传递的临界距离为0.42nm、传递效率为0.72和传递速度常数为1.42×107s-1.这些数据对复合膜光电转换器件的设计将具有重要意义.     

全同超形变带转动惯量的粒子数守恒计算

利用推转壳模型的粒子数守恒方法计算了超形变(SD)转动带¹⁹²Hg和¹⁹⁴Hg(1,2,3)的带首转动惯量.分析了带首附近的组态结构及带首转动惯量随对力强度的变化.带首转动惯量之差δJ₀对对力强度十分敏感,而对Nilsson能级参数K、μ及形变参数并不敏感.对力及堵塞效应是造成带首转动惯量差别的主要因素.但与正常形变核相比,对力强度似有较大程度减弱.
