Analyzing dynamic disturbance fragmentation mechanism of surrounding rock in roadway roof
In this paper, a numerical simulation is conducted to analyze an engineering practice pertaining to the in panel 2347, the discussion is focused on the following aspects: the influence of fault mining activation on fragmentation of surrounding rock in roof, surrounding rock failure of unsupported roadway under static load alone, surrounding rock failure of unsupported roadway under dynamic load and static load combination, damage of surrounding rock in supporting roadway under dynamic load and static load combination. The results show that, for the roadway surrounding rock with obvious dynamic disturbance, the compressive stress value can eliminate the influence of the tensile stress wave generated by the reflection of the compressive stress disturbance wave on the roadway wall. In the roadway support, it should provide a certain compressive stress to the surrounding rock of the surrounding roadway wall. An anchor support surrounding rock can significantly inhibit the tensile crack, shear the crack expansion and dislocation slip of coal gang, and it can also alleviate the tensile, compressive and shear failure of the roof carbonaceous mudstone. Because the dynamic load has a significant damage to the carbonaceous mudstone between roof anchors, it is necessary to reduce the anchor spacing and row spacing or enhance the stiffness and active stress of the protective surface member
Role of ST-Segment Resolution Alone and in Combination With TIMI Flow After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the role of ST-segment resolution (STR) alone and in combination with Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow in reperfusion evaluation after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for ST-segment– elevation myocardial infarction by investigating the long-term prognostic impact.METHODS AND RESULTS: From January 2013 through September 2014, we studied 5966 patients with ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction enrolled in the CAMI (China Acute Myocardial Infarction) registry with available data of STR evaluated at 120 minutes after PPCI. Successful STR included STR ≥50% and complete STR (ST-segment back to the equipotential line). After PPCI, the TIMI flow was assessed. The primary outcome was 2-year all-cause mortality. STR < 50%, STR ≥50%, and complete STR occurred in 20.6%, 64.3%, and 15.1% of patients, respectively. By multivariable analysis, STR ≥50% (5.6%; adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.45 [95% CI, 0.36–0.56]) and complete STR (5.1%; adjusted HR, 0.48 [95% CI, 0.34–0.67]) were significantly associated with lower 2-year mortality than STR <50% (11.7%). Successful STR was an independent predictor of 2-year mortality across the spectrum of clinical variables. After combining TIMI flow with STR, different 2-year mortality was observed in subgroups, with the lowest in successful STR and TIMI 3 flow, intermediate when either of these measures was reduced, and highest when both were abnormal.CONCLUSIONS: Post-PPCI STR is a robust long-term prognosticator for ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction, whereas the integrated analysis of STR plus TIMI flow yields incremental prognostic information beyond either measure alone, support-ing it as a convenient and reliable surrogate end point for defining successful PPCI.</p

Profile of immunoglobulin G N-glycome in COVID-19 patients: A case-control study
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains a major health challenge globally. Previous studies have suggested that changes in the glycosylation of IgG are closely associated with the severity of COVID-19. This study aimed to compare the profiles of IgG N-glycome between COVID-19 patients and healthy controls. A case-control study was conducted, in which 104 COVID-19 patients and 104 age- and sex-matched healthy individuals were recruited. Serum IgG N-glycome composition was analyzed by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography with the ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (HILIC-UPLC) approach. COVID-19 patients have a decreased level of IgG fucosylation, which upregulates antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC) in acute immune responses. In severe cases, a low level of IgG sialylation contributes to the ADCC-regulated enhancement of inflammatory cytokines. The decreases in sialylation and galactosylation play a role in COVID-19 pathogenesis via the activation of the lectin-initiated alternative complement pathway. IgG N-glycosylation underlines the complex clinical phenotypes of SARS-CoV-2 infection
