Up-regulation of contractile endothelin receptors by airborne fine particulate matter in rat mesenteric arteries via activation of MAPK pathway

Fine particle matters (PM_2.5) is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. Vascular hyper-reactivity plays an important roles in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. The present study was designed to investigate a hypothesis that PM_2.5 up-regulated endothelin receptors in mesenteric artery and the potential underlying mechanisms. Rat mesenteric arteries were cultured with PM_2.5. The artery contractile responses were recorded by a sensitive myograph. ET_B and ET_A receptor expressions of mRNA and protein were assessed by quantitative real-time PCR, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Results showed that ET_B receptor agonist, sarafotoxin 6c induced a negligible contraction in fresh artery segments, while ET_A receptor agonist, ET-1 induced an obvious contraction. After organ culture, the contraction curve mediated by ET_B and ET_A receptors were shifted toward the left. PM_2.5 1.0 μg/ml cultured for 16 h further enhanced ET_B and ET_A receptor-mediated contractile responses with a markedly increased maximal contraction. The organ culture enhanced ET_B and ET_A receptor mRNA and protein levels from fresh arteries, which were further increased by PM_2.5. The U0126 (MEK/ERK1/2 inhibitor) and SB203580 (p38 inhibitor) significantly attenuated both organ cultured-induced and PM_2.5-induced up-regulation of ET_B receptor. U0126 also suppressed organ culture-increased and PM_2.5-increased expressions of ET_A receptor. SB203580 only suppressed PM_2.5-induced enhanced expressions of ET_A receptor In conclusion, airborne PM_2.5 up-regulates ET_B and ET_A receptors of mesenteric artery via p38 MAPK and MEK/ERK1/2 MAPK pathways.

冬季烟塔合一烟气排放特性及其改善措施研究

针对烟塔合一冷却塔(Natural Draft Dry Cooling Tower,NDDCT)在冬季关闭冷却塔百叶窗时存在烟气排放困难的现象,以及导致冷却塔内污染物浓度大幅升高、进而增加冷却塔内壁腐蚀风险的问题,提出了增加烟囱高度的改善措施,并开展了风洞试验。基于计算流体力学(Computational Fluid Dynamics,CFD)方法建立了烟塔合一数值模型以获得冷却塔内部流场和污染物浓度场的分布特性,模拟对比了春季工况和冬季工况条件下烟塔合一冷却塔内部及出口位置的流场和烟气扩散特性。结果表明,由于百叶窗关闭导致冷却塔的通气量和换热量大幅度下降,冷却塔内部的流场变得杂乱无章,污染物质量分数大大增加。与春季相比,冬季冷却塔内壁污染物最大质量分数增加了1.5倍。随烟囱高度增加,烟气可以凭借其初始动能抵御冷却塔内的湍流冲出塔外,冷却塔内部的烟气扩散情况逐渐改善。定性风洞试验结果较好地验证了数值模拟结果,验证了该方法的可行性。虽然增加烟囱高度会增加施工初期的投资,但该方案能有效降低冷却塔的腐蚀风险,不但节省了后期防腐的投资,而且降低了安全风险。从长远来看,该措施利大于弊。

A living mechanical file: the burrowing mechanism of the coral-boring bivalve Lithophaga nigra

The burrowing mechanism of a coral borer, Lithophaga nigra, from Penhu island was studied from 1984–1985. Chemical analysis, behavioral observation, anatomy, functional morphology and electronmicroscopic data revealed that this organism is not a chemical borer, as previously believed, but a mechanical borer with a very specially modified internal organ and an external shell configuration that enables it to function as an extremely efficient regenerative mechanical file.
