The effect of calcium nitrate (CN) dosages from 0 to 3% (of cement mass) on the properties of fresh cement paste rheology and hardening processes and on the strength of hardened concrete with two types of limestone-blended composite cements (CEM II A-LL 42.5 R and 42.5 N) at different initial (two-day) curing temperatures (−10 °C to +20 °C) is presented. The rheology results showed that a CN dosage up to 1.5% works as a plasticizing admixture, while higher amounts demonstrate the effect of increasing viscosity. At higher CN content, the viscosity growth in normal early strength (N type) cement pastes is much slower than in high early strength (R type) cement pastes. For both cement-type pastes, shortening the initial and final setting times is more effective when using 3% at +5 °C and 0 °C. At these temperatures, the use of 3% CN reduces the initial setting time for high early strength paste by 7.4 and 5.4 times and for normal early strength cement paste by 3.5 and 3.4 times when compared to a CN-free cement paste. The most efficient use of CN is achieved at −5 °C for compressive strength enlargement; a 1% CN dosage ensures the compressive strength of samples at a −5 °C initial curing temperature, with high early strength cement exceeding 3.5 MPa but being less than the required 3.5 MPa in samples with normal early strength cement.

This work aims to study the effect of a nucleating agent on cement hydration. Firstly, the C-S-H crystal nucleation early strength agent (CNA) is prepared. Then, the effects of CNA on cement hydration mechanism, early strength enhancement effect, C-S-H content, 28-days hydration degree and 28-days fractal dimension of hydration products are studied by hydration kinetics calculation, resistivity test, BET specific surface area test and quantitative analysis of backscattered electron (BSE) images, respectively. The results show that CNA significantly improves the hydration degree of cement mixture, which is better than triethanolamine (TEA). CNA shortens the beginning time of the induction period by 49.3 min and the end time of the cement hydration acceleration period by 105.1 min than the blank sample. CNA increases the fractal dimension of hydration products, while TEA decreases the fractal dimension. CNA significantly improves the early strength of cement mortars; the 1-day and 3-days strength of cement mortars with CNA are more than the 3-days and 7-days strength of the blank sample. These results will provide a reference for the practical application of the C-S-H nucleating agent.

Abstract Background Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 2 (NOD2) mutations are a genetic risk factor for Crohn disease. Ileocecal resection is the most often performed surgery in Crohn disease. We investigated the effect of Nod2 knockout (KO) status on anastomotic healing after extended ileocecal resection (ICR) in mice. Methods Male C57BL6/J wild-type and Nod2 KO mice underwent an 11 cm resection of the terminal ileum including the cecum. An end-to-end jejuno-colostomy was performed. Animals were killed after 5 days investigating bursting pressure, hydroxyproline content, and expression of matrix metabolism genes, key cytokines, and histology of the anastomosis. Results Mortality was higher in the Nod2 KO group but not because of local or septic complications. Bursting pressure was significantly reduced in the Nod2 KO mice (32.5 vs 78.0 mmHg, P < 0.0024), whereas hydroxyprolin content was equal. The amount of granulation tissue at the anastomosis was similar but more unstructured in the Nod2 KO mice. Gene expression measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction showed significantly increased expression for Collagen 1alpha and for collagen degradation as measured by matrix metalloproteinase-2, -9, and -13 in the Nod2 KO mice. Gelatinase activity from anastomotic tissue was enhanced by Nod2 status. Gene expression of arginase I, tumor necrosis factor-α, and transforming growth factor-ß but not inducible nitric oxide synthase were also increased at the anastomosis in the Nod2 KO mice compared with the control mice. Conclusions We found that Nod2 deficiency results in significantly reduced bursting pressure after ileocecal resection. This effect is mediated via an increased matrix turnover. Patients with genetic NOD2 variations may be prone to anastomotic failure after bowel resection.

In this paper, effects of nano-CaCO3 on compressive strength and Microstructure of high strength concrete in standard curing temperature(21±1°C) and low curing temperature(6.5±1°C) was studied. In order to improve the early strength of the concrete in low temperature, the early strength agent calcium nitrite was added into. Test results indicated that 0.5% dosage of nano-CaCO3 could inhibit the effect of calcium nitrite as early strength agent, but 1% and 2% dosage of nano-CaCO3 could improve the strength of the concrete by 13% and 18% in standard curing temperature and by 17% and 14% in low curing temperature at the age of 3days. According to the XRD spectrum, with the dosage up to 1% to 2%, nano-CaCO3 can change the orientation index significantly, leading to the improvement of strength of concrete both in standard curing temperature and low curing temperature.

In this paper, the mechanical property experiments of concrete based on the seawater and sea sand have been carried in different raw materials preparation and different conservation environments. The results show that the early strength and late strength of concrete based on seawater and sea sand are better than concrete based on freshwater and sand. There is no significant strength decreased for concrete based on seawater and sea sand under accelerated alternating wet and dry conditions. For concrete based on seawater and sea sand mixed with admixture, the downward trend of late strength is significantly delayed, the late strength of concrete based on the seawater and sea sand mixed with slag gets the most obvious growth trend, while the late strength of seawater and sea sand concrete mixed with fly ash gets the largest increment.
