| 1 | Failure mechanism and coupled static-dynamic loading theory in deep hard rock mining: A review显示文摘Rock failure phenomena,such as rockburst,slabbing(or spalling) and zonal disintegration,related to deep underground excavation of hard rocks are frequently reported and pose a great threat to deep mining.Currently,the explanation for these failure phenomena using existing dynamic or static rock mechanics theory is not straightforward.In this study,new theory and testing method for deep underground rock mass under coupled static-dynamic loading are introduced.Two types of coupled loading modes,i.e.'critical static stress + slight disturbance' and 'elastic static stress + impact disturbance',are proposed,and associated test devices are developed.Rockburst phenomena of hard rocks under coupled static-dynamic loading are successfully reproduced in the laboratory,and the rockburst mechanism and related criteria are demonstrated.The results of true triaxial unloading compression tests on granite and red sandstone indicate that the unloading can induce slabbing when the confining pressure exceeds a certain threshold,and the slabbing failure strength is lower than the shear failure strength according to the conventional Mohr-Column criterion.Numerical results indicate that the rock unloading failure response under different in situ stresses and unloading rates can be characterized by an equivalent strain energy density.In addition,we present a new microseismic source location method without premeasuring the sound wave velocity in rock mass,which can efficiently and accurately locate the rock failure in hard rock mines.Also,a new idea for deep hard rock mining using a non-explosive continuous mining method is briefly introduced. | Xibing Li Fengqiang Gong Ming Tao Longjun Dong Kun Du Chunde Ma Zilong Zhou Tubing Yin | 2017 | Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering2017,9,4: | 68 |

| 3 | Pathophysiological 角色和在糖尿病的 nephropathy 的发炎的治疗学的含意显示文摘 Diabetes mellitus and its complications are becoming one of the most important health problems in the world. Diabetic nephropathy is now the main cause of end-stage renal disease. The mechanisms leading tothe development and progression of renal injury are not well known. Therefore, it is very important to f ind new pathogenic pathways to provide opportunities for early diagnosis and targets for novel treatments. At the present time, we know that activation of innate immunity with development of a chronic low grade inflammatory response is a recognized factor in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. Numerous experimental and clinical studies have shown the participation of different inflammatory molecules and pathways in the pathophysiology of this complication. | Desirée Luis-Rodríguez Alberto Martínez-Castelao José Luis Górriz Fernando de lvaro Juan F Navarro-González | 2012 | World Journal of Diabetes2012,3,1: | 55 |
| 4 | Diabetic cardiomyopathy:Pathophysiology,diagnostic evaluation and management显示文摘Diabetes affects every organ in the body and cardiovascular disease accounts for two-thirds of the mortality in the diabetic population.Diabetes-related heart disease occurs in the form of coronary artery disease(CAD),cardiac autonomic neuropathy or diabetic cardiomyopathy(DbCM).The prevalence of cardiac failure is high in the diabetic population and DbCM is a common but underestimated cause of heart failure in diabetes.The pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy is yet to be clearly defined.Hyperglycemia,dyslipidemia and inflammation are thought to play key roles in the generation of reactive oxygen or nitrogen species which are in turn implicated.The myocardial interstitium undergoes alterations resulting in abnormal contractile function noted in DbCM.In the early stages of the disease diastolic dysfunction is the only abnormality,but systolic dysfunction supervenes in the later stages with impaired left ventricular ejection fraction.Transmitral Doppler echocardiography is usually used to assess diastolic dysfunction,but tissue Doppler Imaging and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging are being increasingly used recently for early detection of DbCM.The management of DbCM involves improvement in lifestyle,control of glucose and lipid abnormalities,and treatment of hypertension and CAD,if present.The role of vasoactive drugs and antioxidants is being explored.This review discusses the pathophysiology,diagnostic evaluation and management options of DbCM. | Joseph M Pappachan George I Varughese Rajagopalan Sriraman Ganesan Arunagirinathan | 2013 | World Journal of Diabetes2013,4,5: | 57 |
| 5 | 在心血管的疾病的先进 glycation 结束产品的角色显示文摘 Advanced glycation end products(AGEs) are produced through the non enzymatic glycation and oxidation of proteins,lipids and nucleic acids.Enhanced formation of AGEs occurs particularly in conditions associated with hyperglycaemia such as diabetes mellitus(DM).AGEs are believed to have a key role in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease in patients with DM through the modif ication of the structure,function and mechanical properties of tissues through crosslinking intracellular as well as extracellular matrix proteins and through modulating cellular processes through binding to cell surface receptors [receptor for AGEs(RAGE)].A number of studies have shown a correlation between serum AGE levels and the development and severity of heart failure(HF).Moreover,some studies have suggested that therapies targeted against AGEs may have therapeutic potential in patients with HF.The purpose of this review is to discuss the role of AGEs in cardiovascular disease and in particular in heart failure,focussing on both cellular mechanisms of action as well as highlighting how targeting AGEs may represent a novel therapeutic strategy in the treatment of HF. | Zeinab Hegab Stephen Gibbons Ludwig Neyses Mamas A Mamas | 2012 | World Journal of Cardiology2012,4,4: | 58 |
| 6 | Effects of rh BNP after PCI on non-invasive hemodynamic in acute myocardial infarction patients with left heart failure显示文摘Objective: To investigate the effects of exogenous recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide(rh BNP) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) on non-invasive hemodynamic in acute myocardial infarction patients with left ventricular failure. Methods: A number of 96 acute myocardial infarction patients accompanied with heart failure after PCI hospitalized in the People's Hospital of Sanya during February 2012 to October 2015 were selected. They were randomly divided into the therapy group(n = 50) and control group(n = 46). On the basis of routine treatment, patients in the therapy group were treated with intravenous rh BNP(1.5 μg/kg was intravenous injection with uniform speed of 3 min, followed by continuous infusion 0.007 5 μg/kg·min for 72 h), while the control group received conventional treatment. Bio Z-2011 non-invasive hemodynamic real-time monitoring system was used to monitor the hemodynamic parameters changes and the leves of plasma pro-BNP, serum creatinine, serum potassium, serum sodium and urine volume of each group before and after treating for 30 min, 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h. Results: Patients in the therapy group showed no effect on heart rate, while after 30 min of intravenous injection of rh BNP, CO, CI, SV, and SI increased significantly and LVET and TFC reduced at the same time, which had certain effect on blood pressure(SBP/DBP). Compared with the control group, the therapy group showed a faster and more effective improvement on haemodynamics. Conclusions: Acute myocardial infarction patients complicated with left heart failure after primary PCI can significantly improve hemodynamics by treating with rh BNP. | Xi-Min He Lin Chen Jiang-Bin Luo Xu-Xia Feng Yun-Bo Zhang Qi-Jing Chen Xiao-Li Ji Tian-Song Wang | 2016 | Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine2016,9,8: | 52 |
| 7 | Stress changes on major faults caused by M_w7.9 Wenchuan earthquake,May 12,2008显示文摘On May 12,2008,a magnitude 7.9 earthquake ruptured the Longmenshan fault system in Sichuan Province,China,collapsing buildings and killing tens of thousands people.As predicted,aftershocks may last for at least one year,and moreover,large aftershocks are likely to occur.Therefore,it is critical to outline the areas with potential aftershocks before reconstruction and resettling people as to avoid future disasters.It is demonstrated that the redistribution of stress induced by an earthquake should trigger successive seismic activity.Based on static stress triggering theory,we calculated the coseismic stress changes on major faults induced by the Wenchuan earthquake,with elastic dislocation the-ory and the multilayered crustal model.We also discuss the stress distribution and its significance for future seismic activity under the impact of the Wenchuan earthquake.It is shown that coulomb failure stress(CFS) increases obviously on the Daofu-Kangding segment of the Xianshuihe Fault,the Maqu and Nanping segment of the Eastern Kunlun Fault,the Qingchuan Fault,southern segment of the Min-jiang Fault,Pengxian-Guanxian Fault,Jiangyou-Guangyuan Fault,and Jiangyou-Guanxian Fault.The increased stress raises the probability of earthquake occurrence on these faults.Since these areas are highly populated,earthquake monitoring and early disaster alarm system are needed.CFS increases with a magnitude of 0.03―0.06 MPa on the Qingchuan Fault,which is close to the northern end of the rapture of Wenchuan earthquake.The occurrence of some strong aftershocks,including three events with magnitude higher than 5.0,indicates that the seismic activities have been triggered by the main shock.Aftershocks seem to migrate northwards.Since the CFS change on the Lueyang-Mianxian Fault located on the NEE of the Qingchuan Fault is rather small(±0.01 MPa),the migration of aftershocks might be terminated in the area near Hanzhong City.The CFS change on the western Qinling Fault is around 10 Pa,and the impact of static triggering can be neglected.The increment of CFS on the Pengxian-Guanxian Fault and Beichuan-Yingxiu Fault southwest to the main rupture is 0.005―0.015 MPa,which would facilitate earthquake triggering in these areas.Very few aftershocks in these areas indicate that the accumulated stress has not been released sufficiently.High seismic risk is predicated in these areas due to coseismic CFS loading.The Wenchuan earthquake released the accumulated CFS on the Fubianhe Fault,the Huya Fault,the Ha'nan-Qingshanwan Fault,and the Diebu-Bailongjiang Fault.The decrement of CFS changes on the Longquanshan Fault east to Chengdu City is about 0.002 MPa.The seismic activity will be depressed by decrement of CFS on these faults. | SHAN Bin XIONG Xiong ZHENG Yong DIAO FaQi | 2009 | Science China Earth Sciences2009,52,5: | 47 |

| 9 | Transplantation of UC-MSCs on collagen scaffold activates follicles in dormant ovaries of POF patients with long history of infertility显示文摘Premature ovarian failure(POF) is a refractory disease for clinical treatment with the goal of restoring fertility. In this study,umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on a collagen scaffold(collagen/UC-MSCs) can activate primordial follicles in vitro via phosphorylation of FOXO3 a and FOXO1. Transplantation of collagen/UC-MSCs to the ovaries of POF patients rescued overall ovarian function, evidenced by elevated estradiol concentrations, improved follicular development, and increased number of antral follicles. Successful clinical pregnancy was achieved in women with POF after transplantation of collagen/UC-MSCs or UC-MSCs. In summary, collagen/UC-MSC transplantation may provide an effective treatment for POF. | Lijun Ding Guijun Yan Bin Wang Lu Xu Yan Gu Tong Ru Xiaoying Cui Lei Lei Jingyu Liu Xiaoqiang Sheng Bin Wang Chunxue Zhang Yanjun Yang Ruiwei Jiang Jianjun Zhou Na Kong Feifei Lu Huaijun Zhou Yannan Zhao Bing Chen Yali Hu Jianwu Dai Haixiang Sun | 2018 | Science China(Life Sciences)2018,61,12: | 43 |
| 10 | Prognostic value of red blood cell distribution width for severe acute pancreatitis显示文摘BACKGROUND Severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)is a common condition in the intensive care unit(ICU)and has a high mortality.Early evaluation of the severity and prognosis is very important for SAP therapy.Recently,red blood cell distribution(RDW)was associated with mortality of sepsis patients and could be used as a predictor of prognosis.Similarly,RDW may be associated with the prognosis of SAP patients and be used as a prognostic indicator for SAP patients.AIM To investigate the prognostic value of RDW for SAP patients.METHODS We retrospectively enrolled SAP patients admitted to the ICU of the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University from June 2015 to June 2017.According to the prognosis at 90 d,SAP patients were divided into a survival group and a non-survival group.RDW was extracted from a routine blood test.Demographic parameters and RDW were recorded and compared between the two groups.The receiver operator characteristic(ROC)curve was constructed and Cox regression analysis was performed to investigate the prognostic value of RDW for SAP patients.RESULTS In this retrospective cohort study,42 SAP patients were enrolled,of whom 22 survived(survival group)and 20 died(non-survival group).The baseline parameters were comparable between the two groups.The coefficient of variation of RDW(RDW-CV),standard deviation of RDW(RDW-SD),Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II(APACHE II)score,and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment(SOFA)score were significantly higher in the non-survival group than in the survival group(P<0.05).The RDW-CV and RDW-SD were significantly correlated with the APACHE II score and SOFA score,respectively.The areas under the ROC curves(AUCs)of RDW-CV and RDW-SD were all greater than those of the APACHE II score and SOFA score,among which,the AUC of RDW-SD was the greatest.The results demonstrated that RDW had better prognostic value for predicting the mortality of SAP patients.When the RDW-SD was greater than 45.5,the sensitivity for predicting prognosis was 77.8%and the specificity was 70.8%.Both RDW-CV and RDW-SD could be used as independent risk factors to predict the mortality of SAP patients in multivariate logistic regression analysis and univariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis,similar to the APACHE II and SOFA scores.CONCLUSION The RDW is greater in the non-surviving SAP patients than in the surviving patients.RDW is significantly correlated with the APACHE II and SOFA scores.RDW has better prognostic value for SAP patients than the APACHE II and SOFA scores and could easily be used by clinicians for the treatment of SAP patients. | Fang-Xiao Zhang Zhi-Liang Li Zhi-Dan Zhang Xiao-Chun Ma | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,32: | 50 |
| 11 | Entecavir vs lamivudine therapy for na?ve patients with spontaneous reactivation of hepatitis B presenting as acute-on-chronic liver failure显示文摘AIM:To investigate the short-term and long-term efficacy of entecavir versus lamivudine in patients with spontaneous reactivation of hepatitis B presenting as acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF).METHODS:This was a single center,prospective cohort study.Eligible,consecutive hospitalized patients received either entecavir 0.5 mg/d or lamivudine 100mg/d.All patients were given standard comprehensive internal medicine.The primary endpoint was survival rate at day 60,and secondary endpoints were reduction in hepatitis B virus(HBV)DNA and alanine aminotransferase(ALT)levels,and improvement in Child-Turcotte-Pugh(CTP)and model for end-stage liver disease(MELD)scores at day 60 and survival rate at week 52.RESULTS:One hundred and nineteen eligible subjects were recruited from 176 patients with severe acute exacerbation of chronic hepatitis B:65 were included in the entecavir group and 54 in the lamivudine group(full analysis set).No significant differences were found in patient baseline clinical parameters.At day 60,entecavir did not improve the probability of survival(P=0.066),despite resulting in faster virological suppression(P<0.001),higher rates of virological response(P<0.05)and greater reductions in the CTP and MELD scores(all P<0.05)than lamivudine.Intriguingly,at week 52,the probability of survival was higher in the entecavir group than in the lamivudine group[42/65(64.6%)vs 26/54(48.1%),respectively;P=0.038].The pretreatment MELD score(B,1.357;95%Cl:2.138-7.062;P=0.000)and virological response at day30(B,1.556;95%Cl:1.811-12.411;P=0.002),were found to be good predictors for 52-wk survival.CONCLUSION:Entecavir significantly reduced HBV DNA levels,decreased the CTP and MELD scores,and thereby improved the long-term survival rate in patients with spontaneous reactivation of hepatitis B presenting as ACLF. | Yang Zhang Xiao-Yu Hu Sen Zhong Fang Yang Tao-You Zhou Guo Chen Yan-Yan Wang Jian-Xing Luo | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,16: | 42 |
| 12 | Acute-on-chronic liver failure:Pathogenesis,prognostic factors and management显示文摘Acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF) is increasingly recognized as a complex syndrome that is reversiblein many cases. It is characterized by an acute deterioration of liver function in the background of a pre-existing chronic liver disease often associated with a high short-term mortality rate. Organ failure(OF) is always associated, and plays a key role in determining the course, and the outcome of the disease. The definition of ACLF remains controversial due to its overall ambiguity, with several disparate criteria among various associations dedicated to the study of liver diseases. Although the precise pathogenesis needs to be clarified, it appears that an altered host response to injury might be a contributing factor caused by immune dysfunction, ultimately leading to a pro-inflammatory status, and eventually to OF. The PIRO concept(Predisposition, Insult, Response and Organ Failure) has been proposed to better approach the underlying mechanisms. It is accepted that ACLF is a different and specific form of liver failure, where a precipitating event is always involved, even though it cannot always be ascertained. According to several studies, infections and active alcoholism often trigger ACLF. Viral hepatitis, gastrointestinal haemorrhage, or drug induced liver injury, which can also provoke the syndrome. This review mainly focuses on the physiopathology and prognostic aspects. We believe these features are essential to further understanding and providing the rationale for improveddisease management strategies. | Sara Blasco-Algora José Masegosa-Ataz María Luisa Gutiérrez-García Sonia Alonso-López Conrado M Fernández-Rodríguez | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,42: | 45 |
| 13 | Systematic review of surgical resection vs radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents one of the most common neoplasms worldwide. Surgical resection and local ablative therapies represent the most frequent first lines therapies adopted when liver transplantation can not be offered or is not immediately accessible. Hepatic resection (HR) is currently considered the most curative strategy, but in the last decade local ablative therapies have started to obtain satisfactory results in term of efficacy and, of them, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is considered the reference standard. An extensive literature review, from the year 2000, was performed, focusing on results coming from studies that directly compared HR and RFA. Qualities of the studies, characteristics of patients included, and patient survival and recurrence rates were analyzed. Except for three randomized controlled trials (RCT), most studies are affected by uncertain methodological approaches since surgical and ablated patients represent different populations as regards clinical and tumor features that are known to affect prognosis. Unfortunately, even the available RCTs report conflicting results. Until further evidences become available, it seems reasonable to offer RFA to very small HCC (< 2 cm) with no technical contraindications, since in this instance complete necrosis is most likely to be achieved. In larger nodules, namely > 2 cm and especially if > 3 cm, and/or in tumor locations in which ablation is not expected to be effective or safe, surgical removal is to be preferred. | Alessandro Cucchetti Fabio Piscaglia Matteo Cescon Giorgio Ercolani Antonio Daniele Pinna | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,26: | 40 |
| 14 | Restoring the Treg cell to Th17 cell ratio may alleviate HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure显示文摘AIM: To investigate the role of T helper 17 cells (Th17) and regulatory T cells (Treg) in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF).METHODS: We enrolled 79 patients with HBV infection into the study, 50 patients with HBV-related ACLF and 29 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), from the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical College from January 2009 to June 2012. The ACLF patients were diagnosed according to the criteria recommended by The 19th Conference of the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver in 2009. Twenty healthy individuals with a similar gender and age structures to the two patient groups were also included as the normal controls (NC). Of the 50 ACLF patients, 28 were subsequently classified as non-survivors: 19 patients died from multiorgan failure, 3 underwent liver transplantation, and 6 discontinued therapy during follow-up because of financial reasons. The remaining 22 ACLF patients whose liver and anticoagulation function recovered to nearly normal levels within the next 6 mo were classified as survivors. The number of circulating Treg and Th17 cells was determined upon diagnosis and during the 8th week of follow-up through flow cytometry. RESULTS: The percentage of circulating Treg cells in the ACLF group was significantly higher than that in the CHB group (5.50% ± 1.15% vs 3.30% ± 1.13%, P < 0.01). The percentages of circulating Th17 cells in the ACLF and the CHB groups were significantly higher than that in the NC group (6.32% ± 2.22% vs 1.56% ± 0.44%, P < 0.01; 3.53% ± 1.65% vs 1.56% ± 0.44%, P < 0.01). No significant difference in Treg cell to Th17 cell ratio was observed between the ACLF group and the CHB group (0.98 ± 0.44 vs 1.12 ± 0.64, P = 0.991), whereas those in the two HBV infection groups were significantly lower than that in the NC group (1.85 ± 1.22; both P < 0.01). The percentage of Treg cells in the survivors during the 8th week of follow-up was significantly lower than that during peak ACLF severity [total bilirubin (TBIL) peak] (3.45% ± 0.97% vs 5.18% ± 1.02%, P < 0.01). The percentage of Th17 cells in survivors during the 8th week of follow-up was significantly lower than that during the peak TBIL (2.89% ±0.60% vs 5.24% ± 1.46%; P < 0.01). The Treg cell to Th17 cell ratio during the 8 th week of follow-up was significantly higher than that during the TBIL peak (1.22 ± 0.36 vs 1.10 ± 0.54; P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Restoring the Treg cell to Th17 cell ratio during the follow-up phase of ACLF could maintain the immune system at a steady state, which favours good prognosis. | Ying-Hua Niu Dong-Lin Yin Hong-Li Liu Rui-Tian Yi Yu-Cong Yang Hong-An Xue Tian-Yan Chen Shu-Lin Zhang Shu-Mei Lin Ying-Ren Zhao | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,26: | 36 |
| 15 | Red blood cell distribution width in heart failure: A narrative review显示文摘The red blood cell distribution width(RDW) is a simple, rapid, inexpensive and straightforward hematological parameter, reflecting the degree of anisocytosis in vivo. The currently available scientific evidence suggests that RDW assessment not only predicts the risk of adverse outcomes(cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, hospitalization for acute decompensation or worsened left ventricular function) in patients with acute and chronic heart failure(HF), but is also a significant and independent predictor of developing HF in patients free of this condition. Regarding the biological interplay between impaired hematopoiesis and cardiac dysfunction, many of the different conditions associated with increased heterogeneity of erythrocyte volume(i.e., ageing, inflammation, oxidative stress, nutritional deficiencies and impaired renal function), may be concomitantly present in patients with HF, whilst anisocytosis may also directly contribute to the development and worsening of HF. In conclusion, the longitudinal assessment of RDW changes over time may be considered an efficient measure to help predicting the risk of both development and progression of HF. | Giuseppe Lippi Gianni Turcato Gianfranco Cervellin Fabian Sanchis-Gomar | 2018 | World Journal of Cardiology2018,10,2: | 37 |
| 16 | Changes of plasma D(-) -lactate, diamine oxidase and endotoxin in patients with liver cirrhosis显示文摘BACKGROUND: Plasma D(-)-lactate and diamine oxidase (DAO) can reflect patients’ intestinal mucosal condition. We evaluated the changes of plasma D (-)-lactate, DAO and endotoxin activities and their significance in patients with liver cirrhosis. METHODS: Fifty liver cirrhosis patients were enrolled into experimental group and 30 healthy people into control group. The plasma levels of D(-)-lactate, DAO and endo- toxin were detected spectrophotographically. RESULTS: The level of D(-)-lactate was significantly high- er in the experimental group than that in the control group (P<0.01). Significant differences of D (-)-lactate levels were observed in Child-Pugh subgroups of the experimen- tal group (P <0. 01). The level of DAO was significantly higher in the experimental group than that in the control group (P <0.01), but the level of DAO in Child-Pugh sub- group C was significantly lower than that in Child-Pugh subgroup B (P<0.01). The level of endotoxin was signifi- cantly increased in the experimental group except Child Pugh subgroup A (P<0.01). The plasma levels of D(-) lactate, DAO and endotoxin were positively correlated with each other (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The data suggest that both plasma D(-) lactate and DAO activity are sensitive markers for early diagnosis of gut failure and endotoxemia in patients with liver cirrhosis. The impairment of intestinal barrier func- tion may be one of the critical reasons for deterioration of liver cirrhosis. | Peng Ruan, Zuo-Jiong Gong and Quan-Rong Zhang Wuhan, China Department of Infectious Diseases, Renmin Hospital Wuhan University Medical College, Wuhan 430060 , China | 2004 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2004,3,1: | 31 |

| 18 | Numerical simulation of mechanisms of deformation,failure and energy dissipation in porous rock media subjected to wave stresses显示文摘The pore characteristics,mineral compositions,physical and mechanical properties of the subarkose sandstones were acquired by means of CT scan,X-ray diffraction and physical tests.A few physical models possessing the same pore characteristics and matrix properties but different porosities compared to the natural sandstones were developed.The 3D finite element models of the rock media with varied porosities were established based on the CT image processing of the physical models and the MIMICS software platform.The failure processes of the porous rock media loaded by the split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB) were simulated by satisfying the elastic wave propagation theory.The dynamic responses,stress transition,deformation and failure mechanisms of the porous rock media subjected to the wave stresses were analyzed.It is shown that an explicit and quantitative analysis of the stress,strain and deformation and failure mechanisms of porous rocks under the wave stresses can be achieved by using the developed 3D finite element models.With applied wave stresses of certain amplitude and velocity,no evident pore deformation was observed for the rock media with a porosity less than 15%.The deformation is dominantly the combination of microplasticity(shear strain),cracking(tensile strain) of matrix and coalescence of the cracked regions around pores.Shear stresses lead to microplasticity,while tensile stresses result in cracking of the matrix.Cracking and coalescence of the matrix elements in the neighborhood of pores resulted from the high transverse tensile stress or tensile strain which exceeded the threshold values.The simulation results of stress wave propagation,deformation and failure mechanisms and energy dissipation in porous rock media were in good agreement with the physical tests.The present study provides a reference for analyzing the intrinsic mechanisms of the complex dynamic response,stress transit mode,deformation and failure mechanisms and the disaster mechanisms of rock media. | JU Yang1,2,WANG HuiJie1,YANG YongMing1,HU QinAng3 & PENG RuiDong1 1 State Key Laboratory of Coal Resources and Safe Mining,Beijing Key Laboratory of Fracture and Damage Mechanics of Rock and Concrete,China University of Mining and Technology,Beijing 100083,China 2 Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering,University of Calgary,Calgary,Alberta,T2N 1N4,Canada 3 School of Environment and Civil Engineering,College of Engineering,Oklahoma State University,Stillwater,OK 74078,USA | 2010 | Science China(Technological Sciences)2010,53,4: | 32 |
| 19 | Early respiratory complications after liver transplantation显示文摘The poor clinical conditions associated with end-stage cirrhosis,pre-existing pulmonary abnormalities,and high comorbidity rates in patients with high Model for End-Stage Liver Disease scores are all well-recognized factors that increase the risk of pulmonary complications after orthotopic liver transplantation(OLT)surgery.Many intraoperative and postoperative events,such as fluid overload,massive transfusion of blood products,hemodynamic instability,unexpected coagulation abnormalities,renal dysfunction,and serious adverse effects of reperfusion syndrome,are other factors that predispose an individual to postoperative respiratory disorders.Despite advances in surgical techniques and anesthesiological management,the lung may still suffer throughout the perioperative period from various types of injury and ventilatory impairment,with different clinical outcomes.Pulmonary complications after OLT can be classified as infectious or non-infectious.Pleural effusion,atelectasis,pulmonary edema,respiratory distress syndrome,and pneumonia may contribute considerably to early morbidity and mortality in liver transplant patients.It is of paramount importance to accurately identify lung disorders because infectious pulmonary complications warrant speedy and aggressive treatment to prevent diffuse lung injury and the risk of evolution into multisystem organ failure.This review discusses the most common perioperative factors that predispose an individual to postoperative pulmonary complications and these complications’early clinical manifestations after OLT and influence on patient outcome. | Paolo Feltracco Cristiana Carollo Stefania Barbieri Tommaso Pettenuzzo Carlo Ori | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,48: | 32 |
| 20 | Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor therapy improves survival in patients with hepatitis B virus-associated acuteon-chronic liver failure显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor(G-CSF) therapy in patients with hepatitis B virus(HBV)-associated acuteon-chronic liver failure(ACLF).METHODS:Fifty-five patients with HBV-associated ACLF were randomized into two groups:the treatment group and the control group.Twenty-seven patients in the treatment group received G-CSF(5 μg/kg per day,six doses) treatment plus standard therapy,and 28 patients in the control group received standard therapy only.The peripheral CD34 + cell count was measured consecutively by flow cytometry.Circulating white blood cell count,biochemical parameters,and other clinical data of these patients were recorded and analyzed.All patients were followed up for a period of 3 mo to evaluate the changes in liver function and survival rate.RESULTS:The peripheral neutrophil and CD34 + cell counts in the G-CSF group increased on day 3 from the onset of therapy,continued to rise on day 7,and remained elevated on day 15 compared to those of the control group.Child-Turcotte-Pugh score of patients in the treatment group was improved on day 30 from the onset of G-CSF therapy,compared to that in the controls(P = 0.041).Model for End-Stage of Liver Disease score of patients in the treatment group was improved on day 7(P = 0.004) and remained high on day 30 from the onset of G-CSF therapy(P < 0.001) compared to that in controls.After 3 mo of follow-up observation,the survival rate in the treatment group(48.1%) was significantly higher than that in the control group(21.4%)(P = 0.0181).CONCLUSION:G-CSF therapy promoted CD34 + cell mobilization in patients with HBV-associated ACLF,and improved the liver function and the survival rate of these patients. | Xue-Zhang Duan Fang-Fang Liu Jing-Jing Tong Hao-Zhen Yang Jing Chen Xiao-Yan Liu Yuan-Li Mao Shao-Jie Xin Jin-Hua Hu | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,7: | 34 |
