Objective: This study aimed to examine the radiographic manifestations of seminal vesicle tuberculosis (SVT) on magnetic resonance imaging to gain a deeper understanding of this disease. Methods: The clinical symptoms, general conditions, relevant laboratory tests and radiological data of 13 patients diagnosed with SVT were collected through bacteriological examination. A descriptive analysis was used to explore the composition ratio and rate values of the collected data. Results: All 13 cases (100.0%) showed isointense signals on T1WI and hypointense signals on T2WI in the affected seminal vesicles, with the disappearance of the multi-chambered high signal on T2WI in normal seminal vesicles. Eight cases (61.5%) showed diffusion restriction on DWI of the affected seminal vesicle and significant enhancement on the contrast scan, whereas five cases (38.5%) showed unrestricted diffusion and mild enhancement on the contrast scan. Patients with significant enhancements exhibited higher counts and neutrophil percentages than patients with mild enhancements, with statistically significant differences (Z = 2.196, P = 0.030;Z = 2.781, P = 0.003, respectively). The counts and percentage of lymphocytes, CD3(+)T cells and CD4(+)T cells were significantly lower in patients with significant enhancements than in those with mild enhancements, with statistically significant differences (Z = -2.196, P = 0.030;Z = -2.928, P = 0.002;Z = -2.928, P = 0.002;Z = -2.928, P = 0.002, respectively). Patients with significant enhancements were more likely to have active pulmonary tuberculosis than those with mild enhancements, with a statistically significant difference (P = 0.035). Conclusion: Magnetic resonance imaging reveals distinct radiographic features of SVT, and variations in imaging presentations can indicate a patient's immune status.

In order to improve the forming quality of extruded thread, finite element analysis and experimental research are combined to reduce the two keys that affect thread quality in the machining process-extrusion torque and extrusion temperature. The effects of different processing parameters on the extrusion torque and temperature are obtained by numerical simulation, including the bottom hole diameter of the workpiece, the machine tool speed, and the lubrication medium. For the purpose of reducing extrusion torque and temperature, the process parameters for internal thread forming are further optimized by orthogonal design. It is determined that when machining the M22 x 2 internal thread on the connecting rod of the marine diesel engine made of 42CrMo4 steel, the bottom hole diameter of the workpiece should be null 21.20 mm, the speed of the machine tool should be 40 RPM, and the lubricating medium should be PDMS polydimethylsiloxane coolant. Compared to before optimization, the maximum extrusion torque and the maximum extrusion temperature are reduced by 19.27% and 15.07%, respectively. On the premise of ensuring the thread connection strength, theheight of the thread tooth is reduced by 0.052 mm, and the surface condition of the thread is improved. The surface microhardness at the root, top, and side of the thread increases by about 5 HV0.2, and the depth of the hardened layer increases by 0.05 mm. The results show that the quality of the optimized thread is higher.

A convenient strategy to enhance the aqueous stability and radiative-charge-transfer of perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) is developed via hybriding CsPbBr3 PNCs with Ag2S nanoparticles, which is conducted by directly decomposing silver diethyldithiocarbamate in CsPbBr3 PNCs crude. The obtained CsPbBr3-Ag2S hybrids are aqueous stable, and exhibit obviously enhanced aqueous photoluminescence (PL) with a quantum yield up to 82%in pure water as well as boosted electrochemical response for charge injection and 9-fold enhanced electrochemiluminescence (ECL) than CsPbBr3 PNCs in aqueous electrolyte. Both PL and ECL spectra of CsPbBr3-Ag2S hybrids are almost identical to the PL spectrum of CsPbBr3PNCs, indicating radiative-charge-transfer within CsPbBr3-Ag2S hybrids only occurs in CsPbBr3 segment. Annihilation ECL demonstrates that all the charges injected onto CsPbBr3-Ag2S hybrids at the redox potentials of Ag2S segment can be efficiently transferred into CsPbBr3 segment to enhance radiative-charge-transfer. This strategy is promising for the application of PNCs as well as the developing of novel electrochemiluminophores. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All sights reserved.

The effect of 5 % tensile deformation, which simulates the stamping process of Al-Mg-Si-Cu automotive outer panels, on the microstructural evolution during age strengthening, has been investigated. In addition, its benefit on key mechanical properties including hardness, yield strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance has been linked to the microstructural features. It was found that the aging precipitation sequence, SSSS -> clusters and G.P. zones -> beta aEuro(3) -> beta' + Q' -> Q, was not influenced by the dislocations introduced through the stamping deformation prior to aging. On the other hand, stamping deformation could promote the formation of precipitates and refine the precipitates because of the enhanced heterogeneous nucleation and the accelerated precipitation kinetics, leading to superior strength of the alloy at the early stage. Meanwhile, the larger amount of Cu incorporated into nanoprecipitates leads to better intergranular corrosion resistance of the stamped alloy compared with the unstamped one. Due to the reduction in free Si amount at grain boundaries, the formation of fine subgrain structures and the increase of dislocation accumulation, the ductility of the stamped alloy was increased.

The development of hard X-ray (HXR) spectrometers with full digital data acquisition for runaway electron studies on the HL-2M tokamak is presented. Consisting of large-sized NaI:Tl detectors and high-performance multichannel analyzers, this system can realize the measurement of HXR with energies ranging from 0.5 to 10 MeV, and spectrum temporal resolution of 1 ms. An average energy resolution of 56 keV at 662 keV has been achieved at counts rates of about 100 kcps. The spectra data is acquired by a digital-based data acquisition system with fast digitization and software signal processing technology. The energy calibrations are performed by using several radioisotope gamma-ray sources, and the detection efficiencies are simulated by MCNP code. First experimental results from HL-2M Ohmic discharges are presented in this paper.

In this letter, we simulate GNSS/LEO measurements and propose a process strategy for LEO-augmented GNSS medium length baseline RTK. Experiments show that, the performance of GNSS medium length baseline RTK can be significantly improved by introducing LEO satellites. The convergence speed of LEO-augmented GPS or BDS float solution maybe better than GPS/BDS combined under the conditions of similar satellite geometry. Besides, the RMS error of fixed solutions are improved to better than 4 cm from sub-decimeter level.
