为探讨邻苯二甲酸二乙基己酯[di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate,DEHP]在诱发哮喘和哮喘发病机理方面的作用,将Wistar大鼠随机分为正常组、卵清白蛋白(OVA)致敏组和DEHP染毒组,每组8只.用OVA致敏加激发的方法制作大鼠哮喘模型.DEHP染毒组分为2个组,每天分别给予0.7mg·kg-1和70mg·kg-1邻苯二甲酸二乙基己酯灌胃,连续30d.OVA致敏组、DEHP染毒组大鼠均在第31d给予1%OVA雾化,诱发哮喘.第38d测定大鼠在不同氯化乙酰甲胆碱(MCH)剂量下的肺功能,进行支气管肺泡灌洗液(BALF)的嗜酸性粒细胞(EOS)计数.结果显示,与OVA组相比,DEHP染毒组气道高反应性增强,嗜酸性粒细胞比例明显增多(P<0.01).因此,邻苯二甲酸二乙基己酯可增强哮喘模型大鼠气道高反应性和嗜酸性粒细胞浸润,可诱导哮喘的发生.     

贯通巷道风流流场数值模拟若干关键问题研究

根据计算流体力学基本理论,利用计算流体动力学(CFD)软件Fluent,运用三维k-ε湍流模型对贯通型巷道风流流场数值模拟中风流入口、出口位置对巷道风流流场分布的影响、湍动能k及湍动能耗散率ε的取值对模拟结果的影响等进行考察。通过研究确定模拟巷道的流体力学入口长度,确定模拟巷道出口位置;湍动能k及湍动能耗散率ε的取值对入口附近流动还没有充分发展区域拟解算的结果影响较大,而对流动充分发展的区域影响较小。将数值模拟风速值与理论计算风速值进行对比,模拟结果与计算结果非常一致,验证了数值模拟方法的正确性,为研究贯通型巷道风流传质过程、瓦斯运移规律及通风排污效率等提供了理论基础。

南京北郊大气细粒子在人体呼吸系统沉积特性

使用宽范围颗粒粒径谱仪(WPS)对2015年1月和4月南京北郊大气气溶胶数浓度进行观测,使用多路径粒子剂量测量模型(MPPD)v.3.04模式估算不同空气质量指数(AQI)级别下、休息与运动状态下,细粒子在人体呼吸系统不同部位的沉积分数(DF)和沉积数浓度.结果发现,核模态和爱根核模态DF在休息和运动状态下近似,积聚模态DF在运动时是休息时的2.49倍.肺部对核模态和爱根核模态总沉积分数(TDF)贡献最大,休息时约占48.17%,运动时约占54.23%,头部对积聚模态TDF贡献最大,休息时约占41.23%,运动时约占80.47%.冬季人体内颗粒物沉积数浓度明显低于春季,各部位中总沉积数浓度大小为:肺部气管支气管头部.与休息时相比,运动时肺部核模态沉积增多,气管及支气管和头部积聚模态沉积增多,且头部表现出空气质量越差,运动较休息增长越多的特点.地区间DF的差异主要由于生理参数不同,沉积数浓度的差异主要由于当地环境中粒子数浓度不同.     

矿井巷道对流换热系数的现场测定

对流换热系数是计算围岩壁面与风流之间热交换量的重要参数。根据矿井风流与围岩热湿交换理论,提出测算井下巷道平均对流换热系数的方法。并在现场进行实测,通过对实测结果的回归分析,得出U型钢支护、断面形状为半圆拱以及工字钢支护、断面形状为梯形的巷道平均对流换热系数的简化计算式。并且当风速一定时,U型钢支护、断面形状为半圆拱的巷道平均对流换热系数值比工字钢支护、断面形状为梯形的要小;在这两种巷道条件下,其平均对流换热系数都随平均风速的增加而增大。     

Early postnatal ozone exposure alters rat nodose and jugular sensory neuron development

Sensory neurons originating in nodose and jugular ganglia that innervate airway epithelium (airway neurons) play a role in inflammation observed following exposure to inhaled environmental irritants such as ozone (O₃). Airway neurons can mediate airway inflammation through the release of the neuropeptide substance P (SP). While susceptibility to airway irritants is increased in early life, the developmental dynamics of afferent airway neurons are not well characterized. The hypothesis of this study was that airway neuron number might increase with increasing age, and that an acute, early postnatal O₃ exposure might increase both the number of sensory airway neurons as well as the number SP-containing airway neurons. Studies using Fischer 344 rat pups were conducted to determine if age or acute O₃ exposure might alter airway neuron number. Airway neurons in nodose and jugular ganglia were retrogradely labeled, removed, dissociated, and counted by means of a novel technique employing flow cytometry. In Study 1, neuron counts were conducted on postnatal days (PD) 6, 10, 15, 21, and 28. Numbers of total and airway neurons increased significantly between PD6 and PD10, then generally stabilized. In Study 2, animals were exposed to O₃ (2?ppm) or filtered air (FA) on PD5 and neurons were counted on PD10, 15, 21, and 28. O₃-exposed animals displayed significantly less total neurons on PD21 than FA controls. This study shows that age-related changes in neuron number occur, and that an acute, early postnatal O₃ exposure significantly alters sensory neuron development.     

潮湿巷道风流温度及湿度计算方法研究

对计算潮湿巷道中风流温度和湿度的方法进行改进,提出将饱和空气含湿量与温度的关系拟合为二次曲线计算巷道壁面水分蒸发的方法,编制模拟潮湿巷道中风流与围岩热交换和巷道壁面水分蒸发的计算机程序,解算出风流温度及湿度的变化规律。并将解算结果与将饱和空气含湿量与温度的关系拟合为线形曲线时的解算结果进行分析对比,将饱和空气含湿量和温度之间的关系简单拟合为线性,风流温度的误差在通风时间较短时相对误差较大。随通风距离增长风流温度和相对湿度的误差增加。     

Investigating the potential for different scooter and car exhaust emissions to cause cytotoxic and (pro-)inflammatory responses to a 3D in vitro model of the human epithelial airway

The aim of this study was to compare the cytotoxicity and the (pro-)inflammatory responses of two-stroke (direct injection and carburetor technology) and four-stroke scooter and diesel car exhaust emissions on lung cells in vitro. This was analyzed by exposing a 3D in vitro model of the epithelial airway (consisting of human bronchial epithelial cells (cell line 16HBE14o^?) combined with human whole blood monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells) to physically characterized exhaust emissions. Biological endpoints of cytotoxicity (lactate dehydrogenase release), as well as pro-inflammatory cytokine (tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α) and inflammatory chemokine (interleukin(IL)-8) stimulation were examined. Two-stroke direct injection scooter exhaust contained the highest particle number concentration and nitrogen oxides (NO _x ) concentrations and the emissions from the two-stroke carburetor scooter contained the highest hydrocarbon and lowest NO _x concentrations. The four-stroke scooter emitted the highest carbon monoxide concentration whereas the cars emitted the lowest. The combination of various technical optimizations for the two-stroke direct injection scooter (particle filter, oxidative catalyst, better oil and fuel) reduced the total emissions strongly and the TNF-α concentration significantly (p?相似文献
