Investigating claims that a clothed person's mass loss does not always represent their evaporative heat (EVAP), thermal manikin study was performed measuring balance components in more detail than human studies would permit. Using clothing with different levels of vapor permeability and losses from skin controlled at 34 degrees C ambient temperatures 10, 20, constant pressure (1 kPa), additional wet compared dry were analyzed. EVAP based on (E(mass)) measurement direct the extra by due to...
The eutectic mixture of MgCl2–KCl molten salt is a high temperature heat transfer and thermal storage fluid able to be used at temperatures up 800 °C in concentrating solar power systems. thermophysical properties are reported including vapor pressure, capacity, density, viscosity, conductivity, the corrosion behavior nickel-based alloys temperatures. Correlations measured as functions presented for industrial applications. test results tensile strength two exposed from 1-week length 16-week...
Calculation of evaporative heat loss is essential to balance calculations. Despite recognition that the value for latent evaporation, used in these calculations, may not always reflect real cooling benefit body, only limited quantitative data on this available, which has found little use recent literature. In experiment a thermal manikin, (MTNW, Seattle, WA) was determine effective power moisture evaporation. The manikin measures both and mass independently, allowing direct calculation an...
Obesity and obesity related kidney liver disease have become more prevalent over the past few decades, especially in western world. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new class of antidiabetic agents with promising effects on cardiovascular renal function. Given SGLT2 exert both anti-diabetic anti-obesity by promoting urinary excretion glucose subsequent caloric loss, we investigated effect highly selective inhibitor dapagliflozin mice Western diet (WD) induced obesity....
Abstract A new eutectic chloride molten salt, MgCl2-KCl-NaCl (wt% 45.98–38.91–15.11), has been recognized as one of the most promising high-temperature heat transfer fluids (HTF) for both and thermal storage third-generation concentrated solar power (CSP) systems. For first time, some essential thermophysical properties this salt needed basic energy analysis in application concentrating systems have experimentally tested provided functions temperature range from 450 °C to 700 °C. The studied...
Dietary potassium (K) deficiency is accompanied by phosphaturia and decreased renal brush border membrane (BBM) vesicle sodium (Na)-dependent phosphate (P i ) transport activity. Our laboratory previously showed that K in rats leads to increased abundance the proximal tubule BBM of apical Na-P cotransporter NaPi-IIa, but activity, diffusion, clustering NaPi-IIa could be modulated altered lipid composition K-deficient (Zajicek HK, Wang H, Puttaparthi K, Halaihel N, Markovich D, Shayman J,...
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), critical for mediating vascular repair, are dysfunctional in a hyperglycemic and/or hypercholesterolemic environment. Their dysfunction contributes to the progression of diabetic macro- and microvascular complications. Activation "cholesterol-sensing" nuclear receptors, liver X receptors (LXRα/LXRβ), protects against atherosclerosis by transcriptional regulation genes important promoting cholesterol efflux inhibiting inflammation. We hypothesized that LXR...
Selective solar thermal absorber coating is an important component of concentrated power systems. It maximizes the absorption spectrum and minimizes radiation losses in mid-infrared regime. In this letter, we demonstrate a solution-processed plasmonic Ni nanochain-Al2O3 selective with high absorptance >90% low emittance loss <10%. Unlike conventional graded-index cermet coatings, spectral selectivity tailored by lengths nanochains, elimating requirement costly vacuum deposition...
The phasor approach to auto-fluorescence lifetime imaging was used identify and characterize a long species (LLS) (~7.8 ns) in livers of mice fed with Western diet. size the areas containing this LLS depends on type diet distribution shows has much larger sizes. Combination third harmonic generation images FLIM identified fat droplets droplet estimated. Second microscopy combined that there is an increase fibrosis A new decomposition three components plot correlated higher fraction free...
Currently potential preclinical drugs for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and NASH-related pathopoiesis have failed to achieve expected therapeutic efficacy due complexity pathogenic mechanisms. Here we show Tripartite motif containing 26 (TRIM26) as a critical endogenous suppressor CCAAT/enhancer binding protein delta (C/EBPδ), also confirm that TRIM26 is an C/EBPδ-interacting partner catalyses ubiquitination degradation C/EBPδ in hepatocytes. Hepatocyte-specific loss...
Abstract Background The inability of damaged neurons to regenerate and axons establish new functional connections leads permanent deficits after spinal cord injury (SCI). Although astrocyte reprogramming holds promise for neurorepair in various disease models, it is not sufficient on its own achieve significant recovery. Methods A rat SCI model was established using a impactor. Seven days postsurgery, adeno‐associated virus were injected overexpress the transcription factors NeuroD1...
Aim: We investigated whether aliskiren, a direct renin inhibitor, provided protection in model of diabetic nephropathy mice and compared its protective effects to valsartan, an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker. Materials methods: Hyperglycemia was induced with streptozotocin (STZ, 40 mg/kg/day × 5 days) injection DBA/2J fed on high fat diet. Mice were treated either aliskiren (25 mg/kg/day) or valsartan (8 for 6 weeks. Results: Aliskiren and/or treatment significantly attenuated...
Abstract Serelaxin, a recombinant form of the naturally occurring peptide hormone relaxin-2, is pleiotropic vasodilating that has been studied in patients with acute heart failure. In this study, effects serelaxin on cardiac and renal function, fibrosis, inflammation lipid accumulation were DOCA-salt treated rats. Uninephrectomized rats assigned to two groups: controls provided normal drinking water DOCA pellets sodium chloride water. After 4 weeks, randomly selected implanted osmotic...
