RESUMEN
The dilution inerting process of multi-component flammable gaseous mixtures is an important emergency disposal technology that has been widely applied in the explosion-proof field of flammability gases (vapors). In this study, we examined the flammability limits (LFLs and UFLs) of mono and binary alkane mixtures of methane, ethane, and propane when nitrogen is used for dilution inerting. The HY12474B explosion limit test device was used to determine the flammability limits, and the obtained data were compared with the literature data and Chatelier's law. Additionally, the sensitivity coefficient of the chemical reaction chain for LFLs and UFLs of the binary alkane mixtures was analyzed. The minimum inerting concentration (MIC) of methane was found to be sequentially higher than that of ethane and propane when using nitrogen for dilution inerting, and the MIC of the binary alkane mixtures follows the rule of methane/ethane > methane/propane > ethane/propane. Chemical kinetics calculation revealed that the maximum positive sensitivity coefficient of methane/ethane, methane/propane, and ethane/propane are both R5 H + O2 â O + OH, and the reaction with the maximum negative sensitivity coefficients are both R34 H + O2(+M) â HO2(+M) and R43 CH3 + H(+M) â CH4(+M), respectively. The limiting oxygen concentration (LOC) for both mono alkane and binary alkane mixtures ranged between 10 and 13%. The region of the triangular flammability diagram for methane and ethane was greater than the regions for methane/ethane and methane/propane. In contrast, propane had a smaller region compared to other mono alkane or binary alkane mixtures.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Percutanous coronary intervention (PCI) has been increasingly used for patients suffered from severe coronary artery disease. However, physical trauma and potential adverse events related to the procedure often result in detrimental psychological stress. Accumulating evidences have shown that depression is closely related to coronary artery disease. However, the association of depression following percutanous coronary intervention with adverse cardiovascular events is still unknown. OBJECTIVE: This review is designed to assess the prognostic association of depression following PCI with adverse cardiac events. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The following databases will be searched, PubMed, the EMBASE, CINAHL and Web of Science of English-language publications from inception to 30 October 2018. Cross-referencing from retrieved studies will be conducted additionally, and observational studies were included. Two independent review authors will do the study selection on the basis of the study eligibility criteria. Extracted data will be used for quantitative and qualitative evidence synthesis as well as to assess methodological quality of studies using the Newcastle-Ottawa checklist. The primary objective of this review is adverse cardiac events, presented as a composition of myocardial infarction, repeat coronary revascularization, cardiac readmission, and cardiac death. The accumulated evidence is evaluated and graded according to Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE). RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: This review will explain the association of depression following percutanous coronary intervention with adverse cardiovascular events, and provide physicians with scientific evidence for psychological intervention in patients after PCI.
