Study on time effect of residual pressure and bearing characteristics of jacked pile in saturated silt foundation.

The history of stress in soil mass and pile surface roughness significantly impacts the time effect of residual pressure at the pile end and bearing characteristics of the jacked pile. In this study, the impacts of soil over-consolidation ratio and pile surface roughness on the time effect of residual pressure and bearing characteristics of jacked pile end in saturated silt foundation are explored. Through the independently developed model test device for the vertical bearing characteristics of jacked pile, the driving of jacked pile with different pile surface roughness and static load tests at different resting phases are carried out on saturated silt foundations with different over-consolidation ratios.

Metadherin overexpression in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma is associated with lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis.

Metadherin (MTDH) is a protein that is also named astrocyte elevated gene-1, and is highly expressed in a number of different tumor tissues. Although the expression of MTDH is associated with tumor invasion and recurrence, the expression of this protein in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PCCA) and its clinical use have not yet been investigated. In the present study, the expression of MTDH in patients with PCCA was investigated in order to determine its clinicopathological use.
