Numerical simulation of the temporal and spatial evolution of sandstone pore type reservoir damage types and severity.

During the oilfield development process, various factors can cause different types of reservoir damage, leading to reduced oil well production or even shutdown, and decreased water injection capacity in water wells, resulting in significant economic losses for the oilfield. However, formation damage control measures must be based on the quantitative diagnosis of the types and degrees of reservoir damage. This paper establishes a spatiotemporal evolution numerical model for 12 common types of damage during the oil and gas exploration and development process, based on the material balance theory and Fick's diffusion law in reservoir damage processes.

Effects of the proapoptotic regulator Bcl2/adenovirus EIB 19 kDa-interacting protein 3 on radiosensitivity of cervical cancer.

Purpose: Bcl2/adenovirus EIB 19 kDa-interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) is a proapoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family. To address its potential as a therapeutic target for radiosensitization, this study investigated the effect of Bnip3 expression on radiosensitivity of cervical cancer in vitro and in vivo.

Materials And Methods: In vitro: A plasmid expressing the BNIP3 gene was transfected into human cervical cancer HeLa cells using Lipofectamine(2000), and western blot and immunohistochemistry analysis were performed to evaluate the expression of BNIP3 in transfected cells.
