Joint Operation Technology of Directional Bridge Plug and Perforation for Horizontal Wells Based on Inclination Angle Detector by TANG Ke, FANG Ming

“…In the construction of directional bridge plug and perforation joint operation, when the perforating gun is pumped to the horizontal section of the well, the orientation of the perforating bullet’s firing port cannot be detected by the existing technical means. By developing a inclination angle detector and a fully integrated directional perforation device, integrating the selection control chip and three-axis acceleration sensor functions, the control circuit is designed to achieve the initiation control of cluster perforation, measure the direction of perforation projectile in real time and upload it to the ground selection control system. …”

Tumor-specific CD8+ T cells from the bone marrow resist exhaustion and exhibit increased persistence in tumor-bearing hosts as compared with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes by Ivan Borrello, Amy Thomas, Luca Biavati, Robert Leone, Elizabeth M Zawidzka, Claudio Zanettini, Luigi Marchionni

“…Importantly, in a competitive transfer experiment, BM T cells infiltrated the tumor more efficiently than TILs, displayed a higher polyfunctionality with interleukin-2, interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α production and showed greater persistence compared with TILs.Conclusions T cells from the BM appear superior to TILs as a source of cells for cellular therapy. They possess a memory-enriched phenotype and exhibit improved effector function, greater persistence within a tumor-bearing host, and the capacity for increased tumor infiltration. …”
