Research on Properties of Silicone-Modified Epoxy Resin and 3D Printing Materials.

A kind of organosilicon intermediate was prepared using isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), hydroxyl silicone oil (HSO), and hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA). The organosilicon modification of epoxy resin was realized by introducing a -Si-O- group into the side chain of epoxy resin by chemical grafting. The effects of organosilicon modification of epoxy resin on the mechanical properties systematically discuss its heat resistance and micromorphology.

Entropy Stable DGSEM Schemes of Gauss Points Based on Subcell Limiting.

The discontinuous Galerkin spectral element method (DGSEM) is a compact and high-order method applicable to complex meshes. However, the aliasing errors in simulating under-resolved vortex flows and non-physical oscillations in simulating shock waves may lead to instability of the DGSEM. In this paper, an entropy-stable DGSEM (ESDGSEM) based on subcell limiting is proposed to improve the non-linear stability of the method.

Energy Stability Property of the CPR Method Based on Subcell Second-Order CNNW Limiting in Solving Conservation Laws.

This paper studies the energy stability property of the correction procedure via reconstruction (CPR) method with staggered flux points based on second-order subcell limiting. The CPR method with staggered flux points uses the Gauss point as the solution point, dividing flux points based on Gauss weights, with the flux points being one more point than the solution points. For subcell limiting, a shock indicator is used to detect troubled cells where discontinuities may exist.

New Insights into the Impact of Ecological Factor on Bioactivities and Phytochemical Composition of Paeonia veitchii.

Paeonia veitchii has been widely distributed in China under different ecological types. Its roots contain diverse phytochemical constituents, which possess very high bioactivities. However, the influence of ecological factors on activities and ingredients of P.

Bioactive components, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Paeonia rockii fruit during development.

In last ten years, much attention focused on tree peony fruit (TPF) for edible oil production despite other potential utilization. The present study identified and quantified 29 bioactive components by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-triple quadrupole-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-QqQ-MS) targeted approach during the development of TPF. Trans-resveratrol, benzoic acid, luteolin, and methyl gallate were selected as predominant chemical markers between seeds and pods through principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least square-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA).

MicroRNA-96-5p represses breast cancer proliferation and invasion through Wnt/β-catenin signaling via targeting CTNND1.

Low miR-96-5p expression is characteristic of many cancers but its role in breast cancer (BCa) remains poorly defined. Here, the role of miR-96-5p in BC development was assessed. We demonstrate that exogenously expressing miR-96-5p inhibits the proliferative, migratory and invasive capacity of BCa cells.

Pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy: Risk factors and preventive strategies.

Purpose: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a worrisome and life-threatening complication. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors and preventive strategies for POPF after PD.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 301 consecutive patients who underwent PD at our hospitals between January 2011 and December 2017.

Phenotypic Characteristics and Fatty Acid Composition of Seeds from Different Herbaceous Peony Species Native to China.

Herbaceous peony has been widely cultivated in China due to its substantial ornamental and medicinal value. In the present study, the phenotypic characteristics, total fatty acid (FA) content, and nine FA compositions of herbaceous peony seeds from 14 populations belonging to six species and one subspecies were determined by normal test and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The results showed that the phenotypic characteristics of seeds varied dramatically among species.

Results: The rebuilt tubular meridian model had a good visual effect, and clearly showed different anatomic structures of the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin.

[Brief analysis on scientifity of the international scalp acupuncture].

By comparing and analyzing the similarity among the international scalp acupuncture, JIAO's scalp acupuncture and ZHU's scalp acupuncture, it is believed that the international scalp acupuncture is a combination of traditional acupuncture and other scalp acupuncture on the basis of channel theory of TCM, and this combination is worthy of discussion. However JIAO's scalp acupuncture lacks scientific evidence. So, the international scalp acupuncture following most contents of JIAO's scalp acupuncture is worthy of discussion.
