Detection of hepatitis C virus RNA from the heart of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

We investigated hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in 35 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and 40 patients with ischemic heart disease who were consecutively admitted to our hospital. Frequency of positive anti-HCV antibody was significantly higher in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (6 of 35 patients, 17.1%) than that in patients with ischemic heart disease (1 of 40 patients, 2.5%, p = 0.036). In three of these six patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, HCV RNA was detected in myocardial tissue. In two of these three patients, HCV RNA was detected from biopsy and autopsy specimens of the ventricles, but not in the serum, suggesting that HCV may replicate in myocardial tissue and may be relevant to ventricular hypertrophy. Thus, HCV infection may play a role in the development of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.     

Numerical simulation of two-phase turbulent flow in hydraulic and hydropower engineering

In connection with the specific features of high velocity aerated flow generated by hydraulic engineering structures, the mathematical model is developed for high turbulence air-water two-phase flow with the use of twin flow theoretical model in this paper. Furthermore the numerical method is proposed to treat bubbled flows. In addition, on the basis of air-water stratified twin flow model, the new calculation methods and free surface tracking technique are proposed to describe complicated movements of the free surface. Finally, the proposed model is used to calculate artificial aerated flows. The computed results coincide quite well with experimental results. This means that the proposed method can provide solid basis for practical engineering design.     

Stabilization of bioethanol recovery with silicone rubber‐coated ethanol‐permselective silicalite membranes by controlling the pH of acidic feed solution

In order to produce highly concentrated bioethanol by pervaporation using an ethanol‐permselective silicalite membrane, techniques to suppress adsorption of succinic acid, which is a chief by‐product of ethanol fermentation and causes the deterioration in pervaporation performance, onto the silicalite crystals was investigated. The amount adsorbed increased as the pH of the aqueous succinic acid solution decreased. The pervaporation performance also decreased with decreasing pH when the ternary mixtures of ethanol/water/succinic acid were separated. Using silicalite membranes individually coated with two types of silicone rubber, pervaporation performance was significantly improved in the pH range of 5 to 7, when compared with that of non‐coated silicalite membranes in ternary mixtures of ethanol/water/succinic acid. Moreover, when using a silicalite membrane double‐coated with the two types of silicone rubber, pervaporation performance was stabilized at lower pH values. In the separation of bioethanol by pervaporation using the double‐coated silicalite membrane, removal of accumulated substances having an ultraviolet absorption maximum at approximately 260 nm from the fermentation broth proved to be vital for efficient pervaporation.

Electrospinning of hydroxyapatite fibrous mats

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with an average molecular weight between 40,500 and 155,000 g/mol was electrospun with a calcium phosphate based sol. The sol was prepared by reacting triethyl phosphite and calcium nitrate and was directly added to an aqueous solution of PVA. This mixture was electrospun at a voltage of 20 kV. The results indicate that the sol was distributed uniformly in the PVA fibers, whose diameter was on the order of 2 μm. This electrospun structure was calcined at 600 °C for 6 h to obtain a residual inorganic, fibrous network, with fiber diameters between 200 and 800 nm. The fibrous structure consists predominantly of hydroxyapatite with an average crystal size of almost 10 to 30 nm. A variety of structures including non-woven mats of solid or micro-porous hydroxyapatite fibers and highly porous scaffolds could be obtained by varying the polymer molecular weight and the sol volume fraction. These structures can have many potential uses in the repair and treatment of bone defects, drug delivery and tissue engineering.     

New Computational Models for Electrostatics of Macromolecules in Solvents

Electrostatic fields of macromolecules (e.g., protein molecules) in solvents are often described by the Poisson-Boltzmann equation. This paper introduces two substantial amendments to the electrostatic model: first, the effective dielectric permittivity of the aqueous solvent layer on the molecular surface is drastically different from its bulk value of ~80 and, second, the recently developed flexible local approximation methods produce different schemes with much higher accuracy than the classical ones     

Thought on the RFID Technology Development in China

In China,RFID technology has been applied to some extents,and also has a huge market and development margin. During this progress,the government will help to build up the basic information construction,then to make the basic informa- tion resource open,at the same time to avoid the policy management over-commercialized,and push RFID technology applica- tion forward and speed up its development.
