Разработка технологии сборки и сварки стыкового соединения труба-лист из низколегированной стали

Соединение вида труба-лист является одним из распространенных типов сварных соединений. К примеру, оно часто применяется при изготовлении металлических колонн и несущих опор каркасов зданий. Применение низколегированных сталей взамен углеродистых при изготовлении данных металлоконструкций обеспечивает существенное снижение металлоемкости, а также позволяет повысить различные прочностные характеристики соединения. Цель работы – разработка технологии сборки и сварки стыкового соединения труба-лист из стали 09Г2С. В процессе работы был выбран способ сварки, сварочное оборудование и сварочные материалы. Произведены расчеты параметров режима сварки, рассчитаны оптимальные геометрические характеристики шва, а также его ожидаемый химический состав.Pipe-to-sheet joint is one of common welded joints. For example it is used to make of metal columns and load-bearing supports of building frames. The use of low alloy steels instead of carbon steels in the manufacture of metal structures reduces metal consumption and allows to increase the strength characteristics of joint. Purpose of the work is development of fitting up and welding technology of a butt pipe-to-sheet joint steel 09G2S. In the progress, a welding method, welding equipment and welding materials were selected. The parameters of the welding mode, geometric characteristics and chemical composition are calculated

Balancing intestinal and systemic inflammation through cell type-specific expression of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor repressor

As a sensor of polyaromatic chemicals the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) exerts an important role in immune regulation besides its requirement for xenobiotic metabolism. Transcriptional activation of AhR target genes is counterregulated by the AhR repressor (AhRR) but the exact function of the AhRR in vivo is currently unknown. We here show that the AhRR is predominantly expressed in immune cells of the skin and intestine, different from other AhR target genes. Whereas AhRR antagonizes the anti-inflammatory function of the AhR in the context of systemic endotoxin shock, AhR and AhRR act in concert to dampen intestinal inflammation. Specifically, AhRR contributes to the maintenance of colonic intraepithelial lymphocytes and prevents excessive IL- 1β production and Th17/Tc17 differentiation. In contrast, the AhRR enhances IFN-γ-production by effector T cells in the inflamed gut. Our findings highlight the physiologic importance of cell-type specific balancing of AhR/AhRR expression in response to microbial, nutritional and other environmental stimuli

Expression Profiling of CYP1B1 in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Counterintuitive Downregulation in Tumors

Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) has a very flagitious treatment regime. A prodrug approach is thought to aid in targeting chemotherapy. CYP1B1, a member of cytochrome P450 family, has been implicated in chemical carcinogenesis. There exists a general accordance that this protein is overexpressed in a variety of cancers, making it an ideal candidate for a prodrug therapy. The activation of the prodrug facilitated by CYP1B1 would enable the targeting of chemotherapy to tumor tissues in which CYP1B1 is specifically overexpressed as a result reducing the non-specific side effects that the current chemotherapy elicits. This study was aimed at validating the use of CYP1B1 as a target for the prodrug therapy in OSCC. The expression profile of CYP1B1 was analysed in a panel of 51 OSCC tumors, their corresponding normal tissues, an epithelial dysplasia lesion and its matched normal tissue by qRT-PCR, Western blotting and Immunohistochemistry. CYP1B1 was found to be downregulated in 77.78% (28/36) tumor tissues in comparison to their corresponding normal tissues as well as in the epithelial dysplasia lesion compared to its matched normal tissue at the transcriptional level, and in 92.86% (26/28) of tumor tissues at the protein level. This report therefore clearly demonstrates the downregulation of CYP1B1 at the transcriptional and translational levels in tumor tissues in comparison to their corresponding normal tissues. These observations indicate that caution should be observed as this therapy may not be applicable universally to all cancers and also suggest the possibility of a prophylactic therapy for oral cancer

The definitive version was published in Biochemical Pharmacology 77(2009): 485-497, doi:10.1016/j.bcp.2008.09.016.The AHR is well known for regulating responses to an array of environmental chemicals. A growing body of evidence supports the hypothesis that the AHR also plays perhaps an even more important role in modulating critical aspects of cell function including cell growth, death, and migration. As these and other important AHR activities continue to be elucidated, it becomes apparent that attention now must be directed towards the mechanisms through which the AHR itself is regulated. Here, we review what is known of and what biological outcomes have been attributed to the AHR repressor (AHRR), an evolutionarily conserved bHLH-PAS protein that inhibits both xenobiotic-induced and constitutively active AHR transcriptional activity in multiple species. We discuss the structure and evolution of the AHRR and the dominant paradigm of a xenobiotic-inducible negative feedback loop comprised of AHR-mediated transcriptional up-regulation of AHRR and the subsequent AHRR-mediated suppression of AHR activity. We highlight the role of the AHRR in limiting AHR activity in the absence of xenobiotic AHR ligands and the important contribution of constitutively repressive AHRR to cancer biology. In this context, we also suggest a new hypothesis proposing that, under some circumstances, constitutively active AHR may repress AHRR transcription, resulting in unbridled AHR activity. We also review the predominant hypotheses on the molecular mechanisms through which AHRR inhibits AHR as well as novel mechanisms through which the AHRR may exert AHR-independent effects. Collectively, this discussion emphasizes the importance of this understudied bHLH-PAS protein in tissue development, normal cell biology, xenobiotic responsiveness, and AHR-regulated malignancy.Supported by P01-ES11624 (D.H.S.), ArtBeCAUSE (D.H.S.), R01ES006272 (M.E.H.), P42ES007381 (M.E.H. and D.H.S.
