Online Monitoring Technology of Metal Powder Bed Fusion Processes: A Review.

Metal powder bed fusion (PBF) is an advanced metal additive manufacturing (AM) technology. Compared with traditional manufacturing techniques, PBF has a higher degree of design freedom. Currently, although PBF has received extensive attention in fields with high-quality standards such as aerospace and automotive, there are some disadvantages, namely poor process quality and insufficient stability, which make it difficult to apply the technology to the manufacture of critical components.

[Studies on quality standards of Poria].

In order to provide scientific recommendations for the revision of the quality standards of Poria in Chinese Pharmacopoeia(Ch. P) 2020 edition, a series of experiments were carried out to improve the quality standards of Poria. TLC methods were established to identify Poria by using pachymic acid, dehydrotumulosic acid and reference herbs as reference substances.

Effects of lipopolysaccharide on the histomorphology and expression of toll-like receptor 4 in the chicken trachea and lung.

Endotoxin or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure can cause injury to the respiratory airways and in response, the respiratory epithelia express toll-like receptors (TLRs) in many species. However, its role in the innate immunity in the avian respiratory system is poorly understood. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of LPS on the chicken trachea and lung.

TLR4 is constitutively expressed in chick thymic epithelial cells.

Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) has been suggested to play a regulatory role in immune cell development; however, studies regarding the role of TLR4 in the development of the chick thymus are scarce. In this study, we investigated the distribution and expression pattern of TLR4 in normal chick thymi at different stages of development, in order to better understand the role of TLR4 in chick thymus development. We studied the thymi from 15 chicks, collected at days 7, 21 and 35 of age.

Distribution patterns of stromal eosinophil cells in chick thymus during postnatal development.

Eosinophils are a type of thymic stromal cell that are present in the thymus of both humans and mice. They participate in regulating T-cell development under non-pathological conditions. However, studies are scarce regarding the role of eosinophils in the development of the thymus in chickens.
