| 1 | Adsorption Mechanism of Polycarboxylate-Based Superplasticizer in CFBC Ash-Portland Cement Paste显示文摘Circulating fluidized bed combustion(CFBC) ash exhibits the desirable pozzolanic activity which makes it a potential supplementary cementitious material to replace cement for concrete production. However, the high unburnt carbon content and porous surface structure of CFBC ash may adsorb water reducer and thereby significantly reduce the efficiency of water-reducing agents. The adsorption mechanism of polycarboxylate superplasticizer in CFBC ash-Portland cement paste was investigated by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer, and the conception of 'invalid adsorption site' of CFBC ash was presented. The results show that the adsorption behavior of polycarboxylate superplasticizer in coal ash-Portland cement paste can be described by Langmuir isothermal adsorption equation. The adsorption capacity of CFBC ash-Portland cement paste is higher than that of pulverized coal combustion(PCC) fl y ash-Portland cement paste. Moreover, the adsorption amount of polycarboxylate superplasticizer increases with the ratio of ash-to-cement in the paste. At last, the fl uidity of CFBC ash-Portland cement paste is lower than that of the PCC fl y ash paste. This work suggests that when CFBC ash is used as concrete admixture, the poor fl owability of the cementitious system due to the high adsorption of water and water-reducing agent should be taken into consideration. | 宋远明 GUO Chuanchuan QIAN Jueshi LIU Yiquan CAO Aizhi | 2014 | Journal of Wuhan University of Technology(Materials Science)2014,29,5: | 4 |
| 2 | The direct and gut microbiota-mediated effects of dietary bile acids on the improvement of gut barriers in largemouth bass(Micropterus salmoides)显示文摘Fish gut barrier damage under intensive culture model is a significant concern for aquaculture industry.This study aimed to investigate the effects of bile acids(BAs)on gut barriers in Micropterus salmoides.A germ-free(GF)zebrafish model was employed to elucidate the effects of the direct stimulation of BAs and the indirect regulations mediated by the gut microbiota on gut barrier functions.Four diets were formulated with BAs supplemented at 0,150,300 and 450 mg/kg,and these 4 diets were defined as control,BA150,BA300 and BA450,respectively.After 5 weeks of feeding experiment,the survival rate of fish fed with BA300 diet was increased(P<0.05).Histological analysis revealed an improvement of gut structural integrity in the BA150 and BA300 groups.Compared with the control group,the expression of genes related to chemical barrier(mucin,lysozyme and complement 1)and physical barrier(occludin and claudin-4)was increased in the BA150 and BA300 groups(P<0.05),and the expression of genes related to immunological barrier(interleukin[IL]-6,tumor growth factorβ,IL-10,macrophage galactosetype lectin and immunoglobulin M[Ig M])was significantly increased in the BA300 group(P<0.05),but the expression of genes related to chemical barrier(hepcidin)and immunological barrier(IL-1β,tumor necrosis factor-a,IL-6 and arginase)was significantly decreased in the BA450 group(P<0.05).Gut microbiota composition analysis revealed that the abundance of Firmicutes was augmented prominently in the BA150 and BA300 groups(P<0.05),while that of Actinobacteriota and Proteobacteria showed a downward trend in the BA150 and BA300 groups(P>0.05).The results of the gut microbiota transferring experiment demonstrated an upregulation of gut barrier-related genes,including immunoglobulin Z/T(Ig Z/T),IL-6,IL-1βand IL-10,by the gut microbiota transferred from the BA300 group compared with the control(P<0.05).Feeding the BA300 diet directly to GF zebrafish resulted in enhanced expression of Ig M,Ig Z/T,lysozyme,occludin-2,IL-6 and IL-10(P<0.05).In conclusion,BAs can improve the gut barriers of fish through both direct and indirect effects mediated by the gut microbiota. | Rui Xia Qingshuang Zhang Dongmei Xia Qiang Hao Qianwen Ding Chao Ran Yalin Yang Aizhi Cao Zhen Zhang Zhigang Zhou | 2023 | Animal Nutrition2023,,3: | 2 |
