AbstractAbstract
[en] Experimental study on characteristics of interfacial parameter distribution for air-water bubbly flow in an inclined circular tube was performed by using the double sensor probe method. Parameters including radial distributions of local void fraction, bubble passing frequency, interfacial area concentration and bubble equivalent diameter were measured using the probe. The inner diameter of test section is 50 mm, and the liquid superficial velocity is 0.144 m/s, with the gas superficial velocity ranging from 0 to 0.054 m/is. The results show that bubbles obviously move toward the upper wall and congregate. The local interfacial area concentration, bubble passing frequency and void fraction have similar radial distribution profiles. Different from the vertical condition, for a cross-sectional area of the test section, the peak value near the upper side increases, while decreases or even disappears near the underside. The local parameter increases as the radial positions change from lower to upper location, and the increased slope becomes larger as the inclination angles increase. The equivalent bubble diameter doesn't vary with radial position, superficial gas velocity and inclination angle, and bubble aggregation and breaking up nearly doesn't occur. The mechanism of effects of inclination on local parameter distribution for bubbly flow is explained by analyzing the transverse force governing the bubble motion. (authors)

AbstractAbstract
[en] The drift-flux model, as its simplicity, has been widely used in the thermal- hydraulic and accidents analysis, especially in the calculation of void fraction. In view of different channels and flow regimes, researchers have developed some correlations based on the drift-flux model, five of which were evaluated against the experimental results. The Hibiki-Ishii model for conventional channel is the best with average relative error of 14.1%. Combined with the investigation of bubble motion, it is found that the value of distribution parameter is less than one when (Jg) β<0.027, and a more accurate correlation was proposed. (authors)

AbstractAbstract
[en] A way of measuring the interfacial area concentration (IAC) of air-water two-phase flow in a vertical pipe with inner diameter of 50 mm by optical fiber probe was researched. The superficial velocities of gas and liquid ranged from 0.01 to 1 m/s and from o to 1 m/s, respectively. The accuracy of optical fiber probe method was evaluated and calibrated by comparing with photographic data from high-speed videos. The radial profiles of IAC were given. Several models of calculating IAC were evaluated against experimental results. In the meantime, on the basis of the variable density model of void fraction, a new correlation of the mean IAC, related to central void fraction was given. It is verified that the new correlation is of high accuracy by comparing with the other experimental data. (authors)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Objective: To explore the clinical short-term efficacy and safety of the use of domestic cryoablation device (targeted knife) in treating liver carcinomas. Methods: The clinical data of a total of 41 patients with liver carcinoma (52 lesions in total), who received CT-guided cryoablation by using domestic cryoablation device during the period from June 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017, were collected. The complete ablation rate of target lesions, the short-term local recurrence rate and the surgery-related complications were evaluated with MRI. Results: The complete ablation rate of the lesions in 41 patients was 90.2%. During an average follow-up period of about 8 months, all the 41 patients remained alive. The postoperative 3-month and 6-month cumulative local recurrence rates were 17.1% and 25.9% respectively, and no serious complications occurred in all patients. Conclusion: For the treatment of liver carcinomas, the use of domestic cryoablation device is safe and effective, it can effectively inactivate the local tumor. (authors)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Highlights: • The highly efficient 3D bio-adsorption was synthesized using a sample assembly method. • The maximum adsorption capacity was 414.03 mg g−1 for MB. • The adsorption performance obeyed the pseudo-second-order and Temkin models. • CSC-5GO had an excellent reproducibility and environmental protection. The objective of this study was to synthesize a novel, efficient and economical bio-adsorbent with three dimensions (3D) structure using a direct assembly method for removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. The raw materials were corn straw core (CSC) and graphene oxide (GO). The variables that affected adsorption capacity were tested. GO loading could facilitate the removal rate. When 5 wt% GO was added (CSC-5GO), the removal rate was increased by 21.62% compared to pure CSC (64.58%). Furthermore, the adsorption by CSC-5GO fitted pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 > 0.998) and Temkin model (R2 > 0.955). The maximum adsorption capacity was 414.03 mg g−1 for MB at pH = 12, 298 K and MB concentration of 1000 mg L−1. The adsorption thermodynamic test results suggested that the adsorption was a spontaneous, exothermic and randomness decrease process. Furthermore, after five cycles of adsorption-desorption test, the adsorbent removal rate was >90%, which implied that CSC-5GO had an excellent reproducibility.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Evaluating the surface and core compositions of transforming nanoparticles (NP) represents a significant measurement challenge but is necessary for predicting performance in applied systems and their toxicity in natural environments. Here, we use X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy to characterize both the surface and core of polyvinyl pyrollidone-silver nanoparticles in the presence of two Suwannee River fulvic acid (FA) standards and humic acid (HA) during sulfidation, the predominant transformation pathway in environmental systems. Only by using data from both spectroscopic methods was a clear relationship established between AgNP core composition and FA affinity established, where concomitant loss of FA was observed with Ag2S formation. Using XPS to measure AgNP surface composition, overlapping trends from XPS on FA I desorption from the AgNP surface as function of surface sulfidation were observed with FA II in the ATR-FTIR measurements. The reproducibility of the changing heterogeneous coating as a function of AgNP sulfidation provided a transferable method to determine the extent of Ag sulfidation without further need for the high resolution, high cost measurement tools that underpinned validation of the method. The relationship was not observed for HA, where a lower affinity to the AgNP surface was observed, suggesting distinct binding to the NP. .

AbstractAbstract
[en] Cationic polyethyleneimine (PEI)-conjugated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that are chemically and physically stable under physiological conditions are an ideal candidate for certain bio-medical applications, in particular DNA transfection. However, the issue remains in reproducibly generating uniform stable species, which can cause the inadequate characterization of the resulting product under relevant conditions and timepoints. The principal objective of the present study was to develop an optimized and reproducible synthetic route for preparing stable PEI-conjugated AuNPs (Au-PEIs). To achieve this objective, a parallel multi-parametric approach involving a total of 96 reaction studies evaluated the importance of 6 key factors: PEI molar mass, PEI structure, molar ratio of PEI/Au, concentration of reaction mixtures, reaction temperature, and reaction time. Application of optimized conditions exhibited narrow size distributions with characteristic surface plasmon resonance absorption and positive surface charge. The optimized Au-PEI product generated by this study exhibits exceptional stability under a physiological isotonic medium (phosphate-buffered saline) over 48 h and shelf-life in ambient condition without any significant change or sedimentation for at least 6 months. Furthermore, the optimized Au-PEI product was highly reproducible. Contributions from individual factors were elucidated using a broad and orthogonal characterization suite examining size and size distribution, optical absorbance, morphological transformation (agglomeration/aggregation), surface functionalities, and stability. Overall, this comprehensive multi-parametric investigation, supported by thorough characterization and rigorous testing, provides a robust foundation for the nanomedicine research community to better synthesize nanomaterials for biomedical use. .

AbstractAbstract
[en] To evaluate the effects of heat treatment on the quality characteristics of Agaricus bisporus, Agaricus bisporus was heated at 75, 85, 95 and 121℃ for 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20 min, respectively, in this experiment. The polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity and total phenolic content were analyzed by chemical method, color difference was measured by colorimeter, and texture properties were determined by texture analyzer, including hardness, elasticity, cohesiveness, chewiness and adhesiveness. Combined with sensory evaluation, the optimum heating treatment condition was selected. In this condition, the tissue structure was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and volatile flavor components were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that PPO activity and the total phenolic content decreased significantly, while color difference value increased first and then decreased. Along with the temperature increasing and heating time extending, hardness, chewiness, adhesiveness and viscosity decreased gradually, and cohesion value increased first and then decreased. Combined with sensory evaluation, the optimum heat treatment condition was 95℃ for 10 min, in which the tissue structure of Agaricus bisporus became loose, aperture structure increased slightly, the water holding capacity enhanced, and the plant flavors and mushroom flavors thickened, as well as slight baked flavor. Hence, appropriate heat treating could increase the texture characteristics of Agaricus bisporus and endow it with new flavor. The experiment provided theoretical basis for the processing and keeping the unique flavor of Agaricus bisporus to the maximum extent. (authors)

AbstractAbstract
[en] In this paper, humic acid (HA) was used as stabilizer to prepare silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) by chemically reducing silver salts in water phase, which were employed to produce Ag NPs inks for inkjet printing conductive silver patterns. The obtained silver nanoparticles stabilized with HA (HA-Ag NPs) were all in spherical shape and the particle size was about 7–12 nm. By re-dispersing HA-Ag NPs in ultrapure water, conductive ink with excellent storage stability was prepared, which can be placed at room temperature for 30 days without any precipitation. The as-prepared HA-Ag NPs conductive ink was printed onto photopapers to fabricate conductive silver patterns with a domestic inkjet printer. The resistivity of the printed pattern could reach 135 μΩ cm after printed for 40 layers and sintered at 180 °C for 60 min. In addition, the printed conductive silver patterns could be integrated into a LED device or alarm apparatus, indicating it could be widely used in flexible printing electronics.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Objective: To compare the time spent for operation, safety and clinical curative effect of ultrasound-guided (US-guided) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with those of CT-guided RFA in treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: From April 2010 to November 2014, 158 admitted patients with HCC received US-guided RFA (US group, n = 59) or CT-guided RFA (CT group, n = 99). The time spent for RFA procedure, intraoperative adverse reactions and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. The patients were followed up to observe the local recurrence rate, progression-free survival (PFS) time and overall survival (OS) time. Results: There was no significant difference in the occurrence rate of postoperative serious adverse reactions between the two groups (P = 0.193). The safety of the two groups was the same. The average time spent for RFA procedure in US group was 26.03 minutes which was obviously lower than 61.78 minutes in CT group, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.0001). No statistically significant difference in the local recurrence rate existed between the two groups. The PFS and OS in US group were 287.0 d (157.9-416.1 d) and 1907.0 d (1281.7-2532.3 d) respectively, which were 272.0 d (177.9-366.1 d) and 1932 d respectively in CT group (as the number of deaths in CT group did not exceed 50%, it was not able to estimate the 95% confidence interval). The differences in PFS and OS between the two groups were not statistically significant. Conclusion: RFA, regardless of under US guidance or under CT guidance, can be successfully accomplished in HCC patients. US-guided RFA is simpler and quicker, the time spent for procedure is shorter, and its curative effect for HCC is similar to that of CT-guided RFA. (authors)
