Amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide 40 enhances the activation of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) in immune-inflammatory diseases.RAGE exhibits several effects in the setting of numerous cardiovascular events.We hypothesized that the Aβ40/RAGE pathway is involved in the osteoblastic differentiation of the valvular interstitial cell (VIC) phenotype,and RAGE knockout intervention could reduce the calcification of aortic valve interstitial cells (AVICs)by inhibiting the extracellular-regulated kinasel/2 (ERKl/2)/nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB)signaling pathway.To test this hypothesis,the activation of Aβ40/RAGE pathway in human calcific AVs was evaluated with immunohistochemical staining.Cultured calcific VIC models were used in vitro.The VICs were stimulated using Aβ40,with or without RAGE small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA),and ERK1/2 and NF-κB inhibitors for analysis.Our data revealed that Aβ40 induced the ERK1/2/NF-κB signaling pathway and osteoblastic differentiation of AVICs via the RAGE pathway in vitro.

对42CrMo钢进行不同参数下的激光淬火处理,研究了激光淬火功率和扫描速度对42CrMo钢表面淬火硬度和淬火深度的影响规律,分析了在激光功率密度为定值时不同激光淬火参数下硬化性能的变化趋势.研究结果表明,激光功率的增大和扫描速度的减小均可以提高淬火层的深度和硬度;结合激光功率和扫描速度计算所得的能量密度参数与淬火效果存在较强相关性,在能量密度相同时,高功率高速度参数可以增加淬火硬度和深度,并提高加工效率.

DP590双相钢在连续退火过程中不可避免地发生合金元素氧化现象,使用扫描电镜(SEM)、X射线能谱仪(EDS)、X射线光电子能谱仪(XPS)以及辉光放电光谱仪(GDS)对在不同露点温度下进行退火处理的DP590钢进行表征分析.结果表明:在退火过程中,随着露点温度的升高,DP590钢由外氧化转变为内氧化,钢板表面氧化程度呈现先增大后减小的趋势,数值模拟结果指出DP590钢内外氧化临界转变露点为-8.26℃,与试验结果相符合.DP590钢表面氧化物以锰的氧化物为主,随着露点温度的升高,Mn元素和O元素在DP5

采用固体渗硼工艺对65Mn钢进行渗硼处理,并借助光学显微镜、X射线衍射仪、电子探针及维氏硬度计等手段系统研究了渗硼温度(800～1000℃)和渗硼保温时间(2～8 h)对65Mn钢渗硼层厚度、微观组织和硬度的影响规律以及渗硼层的生长动力学.结果表明,随着渗硼温度的升高或渗硼时间的延长,渗硼层的厚度不断增大,但当渗硼温度超过900℃时,渗硼层中黑色孔洞的数量、大小以及距离渗硼层表面的深度都逐渐增大.65Mn钢渗硼层都由Fe2 B柱状晶,以及位于Fe2 B柱状晶生长前沿及晶粒间的Fe3(B,C)相、二元铁硅化
