UsingIncoloy 028 alloy as a model system, experiments aiming to provide kinetic data (e.g., the size and volume fraction of recrystallizedgrain) and the associated microstructure were performed. Good agreement is obtained between model predictions and experimentalresults, regarding flow stress, recrystallized fraction and grain size evolution. On this basis, a thermo-kinetic relationship upon thegrowth of recrystallized grain was elucidated, i.e., with increasing thermodynamic driving force, the activation energy barrierdecreases.展开更多

Hepatocellular apoptosis was quantified by transferase d UTP nick end labeling assay and Westernblot analysis of cleaved caspase-3. Liver inflammatory chemokine and cytochrome P450 expression was analyzed by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR. Neutrophil infiltration was evaluated by myeloperoxidase activity. Expression and phosphorylation of ERK,JNK,p65,and H2 A.X was determined by Western blot. Oxidative stress was evaluated by measuring malondialdehyde production and nitric oxide synthase,superoxide dismutase,glutathione peroxidase,catalase,and glutathione reductase activity.RESULTS: following LPS/D-Gal exposure,Recql5-deficient mice exhibited enhanced liver injury,as evidenced by more severe hepatic hemorrhage,higher serum aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase levels,and lower survival rate. As compared to WT mice,Recql5-deficient mice showed an increased number of apoptotic hepatocytes and higher cleaved caspase-3 levels. Recql5-deficient mice exhibited increased DNA damage,as evidenced by increased γ-H2 A.X levels. Inflammatory cytokine levels,neutrophil infiltration,and ERK phosphorylation were also significantly increased in the knockout mice. Additionally,Recql5-deficicent mice exhibited increased malondialdehyde production and elevated inducible nitric oxide synthase,superoxide dismutase,glutathione peroxidase,catalase,and glutathione reductase activity,indicative of enhanced oxidative stress. Moreover,CYP450 expression was significantly downregulated in Recql5-deficient mice after LPS/D-Gal treatment.CONCLUSION: Recql5 protects the liver against LPS/D-Gal-induced injury through suppression of hepatocyte apoptosis and oxidative stress and modulation of CYP450 expression.展开更多

The coalescence, stress evolution, and dislocation annihilation mechanisms in the AlN layer have been investigated. The large voids located on the pattern region were caused by the undesirable parasitic crystallites grown on the sidewalls of the nano-pattern in the early growth stage. The coalescence of the c-plane AlN was hindered by these three-fold crystallites and the special triangle void appeared. The cross-sectional Raman line scan was used to characterize the change of stress with film thickness, which corresponds to the characteristics of different growth stages of AlN. Threading dislocations(TDs) mainly originate from the boundary between misaligned crystallites and the c-plane AlN and the coalescence of two adjacent c-plane AlN crystals, rather than the interface between sapphire and AlN.展开更多
