3D Voronoi等效晶质模型在岩石破坏细观研究中的应用

基于3D Voronoi图提出一种能够反映岩石矿物晶粒结构的三维精细化建模方法,分析了晶粒排列均匀化程度及大小等微观结构的变化对模型宏观力学性质的影响程度,并进行了晶粒结构优化设计。通过模拟粉砂质板岩单轴压缩和巴西劈裂的破坏过程,以及与室内试验对比验证了其适用性,并从细观角度揭示了岩石的破坏机理。研究结果表明:通过裂纹生长速率大致可以表征室内试验中弹性变形、非弹性变形和峰值后宏观破坏阶段;岩样在单轴压缩和巴西劈裂破坏过程中以拉伸断裂为主,在宏观上表现为脆性断裂;岩样宏观断裂呈现沿晶和穿晶断裂的组合形态,弹性变形阶段裂纹的萌生和扩展以沿晶断裂为主,而穿晶断裂的扩展和贯通往往导致局部失稳,表现为非弹性变形阶段。

爆炸冲击波在多级穿廊结构坑道内传播规律的数值分析

数值模型尺寸参照总参工程兵科研三所所建的穿廊结构坑道实体模型,采用ANSYS/LS-DYNA建立三维穿廊端部不同开闭的数值模型,得出冲击波在多级穿廊结构坑道内的传播规律,并与长直坑道内爆炸冲击波传播规律进行对比分析。结果表明多级穿廊结构端部开放坑道对爆炸冲击波的削弱作用非常显著,一级穿廊结构削弱冲击波强度62％,级数越高,削弱效果越明显;端部封堵时冲击波反射效果明显。     

Cultured amniotic fluid cells for prenatal diagnosis of lysosomal storage disorders: A methodological study

The influence of culture conditions on the ultrastructure and enzyme activities of amniotic fluid cells are reported. Morphological changes were determined as a function of the number of lysosomal-like inclusion bodies per cell, and these results correlated to the activity of Thiexosaminidase, a-mannosidase, β-glucuronidase, arylsulphatase C and 5′ nucleotidase. The parameters examined were pH of the culture media, type of media, increasing cell passage and day of harvest. Our results indicate that enzyme activities are less sensitive to changes in culture conditions as compared to ultrastructural changes. We therefore recommend that in order to obtain reliable ultrastructural results for the diagnosis of storage disorders, cultures should be grown in MEM as the culture medium, the pH of the medium carefully monitored to remain below pH 7·4, examining the cultures no later than the eighth cell passage and no later than the 10th day after subculture.     

Biamnial elevated alpha-fetoprotein and positive acetylcholinesterase in twins,one with anencephaly

Anencephaly in twin B was accompanied by elevated amniotic fluid alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and a positive acetylcholinesterase (AChE) band on gel electrophoresis in both twin sacs, although twin A was normal. AChE results did not help distinguish the false positive AFP in this set of twins, implying that AChE may diffuse transamniotically as has been previously postulated for AFP. In light of the low concordance rate for neural tube defects in twins, patient counselling in this situation must include the information that AFP and AChE may be falsely elevated in normal twin when the other twin has a neural tube defect.     

The synaptic membrane D2-protein in amniotic fluid from pregnancies with fetal neural tube defects

The D2-protein is a neuronal membrane protein which has an immunochemically detectable soluble derivative in cerebrospinal fluid. We used rocket-on-line immunoelectrophoresis with an antiserum against rat synaptosomal membranes for demonstration of the human D2-protein in fetal cerebrospinal fluid and in amniotic fluids from pregnancies with fetal neural tube defects. D2 was neither found in normal amniotic fluids nor in cases of amniotic fluids from pregnancies with other malformations. Analysis of D2 in amniotic fluids may thus have a future role in the antenatal diagnosis of fetal neural tube defects.     

Separation of amniotic fluid cell types in primary culture by percoll density gradient centrifugation

Amniotic fluid cells obtained by transabdominal amniocentesis at 15–17 weeks of gestation and cultured for 15 and 21 days were separated into three fractions by density gradient centrifugation in Percoll. Each fraction (or peak) corresponded to the following densities: peak A, 1·02–1·03 g/ml; peak B, 1·04–1·05; peak C, 1·05–1·06. Peak A was composed of both non-viable and viable cells; the latter adopted the morphology of epithelial cells in culture. Peak B contained a mixture of fibroblasts and epithelioid cells and peak C had only epithelioid cells. The variability of N-acetyl-β-hexosaminidase and alkaline phosphatase activities was reduced in peaks B and C as compared to that of peak A and of unseparated cells suggesting that more defined and homogeneous cell types for enzymatic determinations can be obtained by centrifugation in Percoll density gradient. In prenatal diagnosis of biochemical defects, the separation of cells would permit a more precise diagnosis by eliminating enzyme variability due to the presence of different cell types or non-viable cells.     

S-100 protein in amniotic fluid of anencephalic fetuses

S-100 protein, which is found essentially in the astrocytes of the nervous system, was assayed in amniotic fluids by Particle Counting Immuno Assay. It was present in 19 cases of anencephaly out of 26, in 1 case of open spina bifida out of 5 and in each of the 4 cases of fetal death, whereas it was not detected in the 48 control amniotic fluids collected between the 16th and the 35th week of gestation. Thirty-one amniotic fluids from fetuses with other congenital malformations were devoid of detectable S-100. The presence of S-100 in amniotic fluid of anencephalic fetuses can presumably be considered as a biological sign of necrosis of the exencephalic brain and seems specific to damage of the central nervous system accompanied by neural tube defect.     

Prenatal diagnosis of non-ketotic hyperglycinemia

We describe successful prenatal diagnosis in four pregnancies at risk for non-ketotic hyperglycinemia, two affected and two unaffected, using the glycine level and the glycine/ serine ratio in amniotic fluid obtained at 16 weeks gestational age. Although this method of prenatal diagnosis for non-ketotic hyperglycinemia has been effective in our hands the narrow differences between affected and unaffected pregnancies indicate the need for caution concerning its reliability.
