Population structure of Staphylococcus aureus in China
The present PhD research was aimed at analysing the population structure of Staphylococcus aureus in China. Between 2000 and 2005 we found that patients from a single Chinese hospital showed increasing trends in antimicrobial resistance. Among methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), resistance against rifampicin doubled to 68%. Staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) is frequent in China. Two predominant S. aureus lineages, ST6 and ST943, were identified causing outbreaks of SFP in Southern China between 2006 and 2009. An investigation on 590 slaughter pigs in Northern China showed that the major type of methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) was ST398 (61.1%) and all MRSA belonged to ST9. Moreover, a novel resistance determinant, lsa(E), was identified among quinupristin/dalfopristin-resistant strains with the ST9 type. A community survey showed that 16.5% of healthy Chinese individuals carried S. aureus with a low prevalence of MRSA (0.36%). Three risk factors were associated with S. aureus nasal carriage, namely city of residence, age and non-Han ethnicity. The CC398 and CC5 lineages were the most prevalent in this surveyed population. A comparison between contemporary strain collections from China and Europe revealed significant differences in the composition of the genetic population structures between both geographical regions. Lastly, the SasX protein was shown to have no influence on the motility of the most frequent healthcare-associated MRSA in China (ST239) suggesting that motility changes cannot explain the success of this lineage. Altogether, these studies uncovered systematic differences in the S. aureus populations in China and Europe, two opposite ends of the same continental shelf
Chlorine Dioxide-Iodide-Methyl Acetoacetate Oscillation Reaction Investigated by UV-Vis and Online FTIR Spectrophotometric Method
In order to study the chemical oscillatory behavior and mechanism of a new chlorine dioxide-iodide ion-methyl acetoacetate reaction system, a series of experiments were done by using UV-Vis and online FTIR spectrophotometric method. The initial concentrations of methyl acetoacetate, chlorine dioxide, potassium iodide, and sulfuric acid and the pH value have great influence on the oscillation observed at wavelength of 289 nm. There is a preoscillatory or induction period, and the amplitude and the number of oscillations are associated with the initial concentration of reactants. The equations for the triiodide ion reaction rate changing with reaction time and the initial concentrations in the oscillation stage were obtained. Oscillation reaction can be accelerated by increasing temperature. The apparent activation energies in terms of the induction period and the oscillation period were 26.02 KJ/mol and 17.65 KJ/mol, respectively. The intermediates were detected by the online FTIR analysis. Based upon the experimental data in this work and in the literature, a plausible reaction mechanism was proposed for the oscillation reaction
Experimental Study of Closed System in the Chlorine Dioxide-Iodide-Sulfuric Acid Reaction by UV-Vis Spectrophotometric Method
The mole ratio r(r = [I−]0/[ClO2]0) has great influence on ClO2-I−-H2SO4 closed reaction system. By changing the initiate concentration of potassium iodide, the curve of absorbance along with the reaction time was obtained at 350 nm and 297 nm for triiodide ion, and 460 nm for iodine. The changing point of the absorbance curve's shape locates at r = 6.00. For the reaction of ClO2-I− in the absence of H2SO4, the curve of absorbance along with the reaction time can be obtained at 350 nm for triiodide ion, 460 nm for iodine. The mole ratio r is equal to 1.00 is the changing point of the curve's shape no matter at which wavelength to determine the reaction. For the reaction of ClO2-I−-H+ in different pH buffer solution, the curve of absorbance along with the reaction time was recorded at 460 nm for iodine. When r is greater than 1.00, the transition point of the curve's shape locates at pH 2.0, which is also the point of producing chlorite or chloride for chlorine dioxide at different pH. When r is less than 1.00, the transition point locates at pH 7.0
Surface Smoothing by Gas Cluster Ion Beam Using Decreasing Three-Step Energy Treatment
Funding Information: This work was supported by the Hubei Provincial and Municipal Double First-class Talent Construction Start-up Fund in 2022 (Project No. 600460045), the Key R&D program of Hubei Province (Grant No. 2022BAA049), the Science and Technology Planning Project of Shenzhen Municipality (Grant Nos. 2019N032, JCYJ20220530140605011), and the National Key Research and Development Program of China (Grant No. 2022YFB4601000). Publisher Copyright: © 2023 by the authors.A three-step treatment of Si wafers by gas cluster ion beam with decreasing energy was used to improve the performance of surface smoothing. First, a high energy treatment at 15 keV and an ion fluence of 2 × 1016 cm−2 was used to remove initial surface features (scratches). Next, treatments at 8 and 5 keV with the same fluences reduced the roughness that arose due to the formation of morphological features induced by the surface sputtering at the first high energy step. The surface morphology was characterized by the atomic force microscopy. The root mean square roughness Rq and 2D isotropic power spectral density functions were analyzed. For comparison, the smoothing performances of single-step treatments at 15, 8, and 5 keV were also studied. The lowest roughness values achieved for the single and three-step treatments were 1.06 and 0.65 nm, respectively.publishersversionpublishe
Surface Modification of Ammonium Polyphosphate for Enhancing Flame-Retardant Properties of Thermoplastic Polyurethane.
Currently, the development of efficient and environmentally friendly flame-retardant
thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composite materials has caused extensive research. Ammonium
polyphosphate (APP) is used as a general intumescent flame retardant to improve the flame retardancy
of TPU. In this paper, we developed a functionalized APP flame retardant (APP-Cu@PDA). Adding
only 5 wt% of APP-Cu@PDA into TPU can significantly improve the flame-retardant’s performance
of the composite material, reflected by a high LOI value of 28% with a UL-94 test of V-0 rating.
Compared with pure TPU, the peak heat release rate, total heat release, peak smoke release rate, and
total smoke release were reduced by 82%, 25%, 50%, and 29%, respectively. The improvements on
the flame-retardant properties of the TPU/5%APP-Cu@PDA composites were due to the following
explanations: Cu2+-chelated PDA has a certain catalytic effect on the carbonization process, which
can promote the formation of complete carbon layers and hinder the transfer of heat and oxygen.
In addition, after adding 5% APP-Cu@PDA, the tensile strength and elongation at the break of
TPU composites did not decrease significantly. In summary, we developed a new flame-retardant
APP-Cu@PDA, which has better flame-retardant properties than many reported TPU composites,
and its preparation process is simple and environmentally friendly. This process can be applied to
the industrial production of flame retardants in the future.post-print4370 K
