| 1 | Physical modeling of spent-nuclearfuel container显示文摘A new physical simulation model was developed to simulate the casting process of the ductile iron heavy section spent-nuclear-fuel container.In this physical simulation model,a heating unit with DR24 Fe-Cr-Al heating wires was used to compensate the heat loss across the non-natural surfaces of the sample,and a precise and reliable casting temperature controlling/monitoring system was employed to ensure the thermal behavior of the simulated casting to be similar to the actual casting.Also,a mould system was designed,in which changeable mould materials can be used for both the outside and inside moulds for different applications.The casting test was carried out with the designed mould and the cooling curves of central and edge points at different isothermal planes of the casting were obtained.Results show that for most isothermal planes,the temperature control system can keep the temperature differences within 6 ℃ between the edge points and the corresponding center points,indicating that this new physical simulation model has high simulation accuracy,and the mould developed can be used for optimization of casting parameters of spent-nuclear-fuel container,such as composition of ductile iron,the pouring temperature,the selection of mould material and design of cooling system.In addition,to maintain the spheroidalization of the ductile iron,the force-chilling should be used for the current physical simulation to ensure the solidification of casting in less than 2 h. | Wang Liping Guo Erjun Jiang Wenyong Xue Muyu Liu Dongrong Ren Shanzhi | 2012 | China Foundry2012,9,4: | 5 |
| 2 | Integrated histopathological,lipidomic,and metabolomic profiles reveal mink is a useful animal model to mimic the pathogenicity of severe COVID-19 patients显示文摘Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)is transmitted on mink farms between minks and humans in many countries.However,the systemic pathological features of SARS-CoV-2-infected minks are mostly unknown.Here,we demonstrated that minks were largely permissive to SARS-CoV-2,characterized by severe and diffuse alveolar damage,and lasted at least 14 days post inoculation(dpi).We first reported that infected minks displayed multiple organ-system lesions accompanied by an increased inflammatory response and widespread viral distribution in the cardiovascular,hepatobiliary,urinary,endocrine,digestive,and immune systems.The viral protein partially co-localized with activated Mac-2+macrophages throughout the body.Moreover,we first found that the alterations in lipids and metabolites were correlated with the histological lesions in infected minks,especially at 6 dpi,and were similar to that of patients with severe and fatal COVID-19.Particularly,altered metabolic pathways,abnormal digestion,and absorption of vitamins,lipids,cholesterol,steroids,amino acids,and proteins,consistent with hepatic dysfunction,highlight metabolic and immune dysregulation.Enriched kynurenine in infected minks contributed to significant activation of the kynurenine pathway and was related to macrophage activation.Melatonin,which has significant anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating effects,was significantly downregulated at 6 dpi and displayed potential as a targeted medicine.Our data first illustrate systematic analyses of infected minks to recapitulate those observations in severe and fetal COVID-19 patients,delineating a useful animal model to mimic SARS-CoV-2-induced systematic and severe pathophysiological features and provide a reliable tool for the development of effective and targeted treatment strategies,vaccine research,and potential biomarkers. | Zhiqi Song Linlin Bao Wei Deng Jiangning Liu Erjun Ren Qi Lv Mingya Liu Feifei Qi Ting Chen Ran Deng Fengdi Li Yunpeng Liu Qiang Wei Hong Gao Pin Yu Yunlin Han Wenjie Zhao Junjun Zheng Xujian Liang Fuhe Yang Chuan Qin | 2022 | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2022,7,2: | 2 |
