Atomic layer deposition has been employed for postsynthesis treatment of octadecyl bonded silica (ODS) as a typical reversed-phase stationary phase for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) ,in an effort to alleviate peak tailing for basic compounds. With hexamethyldisilazane( HMDS) as an endcapping agent,the ODS packing materials were heated to 250℃,and maintained at that temperature for 6 h,affording packing materials which are highly inert to basic compounds. Chromatographic performance in terms of retention factor and tailing factor of the resulting phases was evaluated using phenol/pyridine and naphthalene/ami-triptyline pairs as probes. The results were compared with those for the same packing treated by liquid phase method and for the commercial products including Zorbax SB-C_(18) and Kromasil C_(18). The separation characteristics of the ODS phase obtained by atomic layer deposition appear to be superior to that by liquid phase method and,comparable with or even better than the commercial products studied. Being solvent-free process amenable to mass production,the described method provides an economical and eco-friendly approach to manufacturing HPLC packing materials on industrial scale.

Objective:Tumor suppressor gene nitrogen permease regulator like 2 (NPRL2), also called tumor suppressor candidate gene 4 (TUSC4), widely exists in all kinds of human tissues and is highly conserved in different kinds of biological species. The expression of NPRL2 is markedly decreased in many human tumor tissues, such as lung cancer, breast cancer,renal carcinoma, et al. NPRL2 is located in human chromosome 3p2.13, and participates in DNA mismatch modification, regulation of signal transduction du-ring cell cycle progression, and apoptosis induction. NPRL2 gene inactivation is related with the initiation and progression of several malignant tumors. The mechanism underlying the tumor-inhibiting activity of NPRL2 gene is not clear and needs to be further investigated.

Objective: To investigate the ictal epileptic activation using simultaneous electroencephalogram functional MRI(EEG-fMRI),and to study the neural mechanism and the roles of the cerebral cortex and subcortical structures in the generation and propagation of the epileptic activity.Methods: A patient with partial epilepsy was retrospectively found to have slight seizures during the simultaneous EEG-fMRI examination.Two sessions of the ictal functional MRI data were processed and analyzed using the general-linear model.Results: Consistent activation patterns were obtained from the two sessions of data.The positive activation was found over the bilateral parietal lobes,insula cortex,bilateral striatum,thalamus and some nuclei of the brain stem,as well as over the vermis and right cerebellar hemisphere.The maximum intensity point was in the left parietal lobe.Conclusion: The seizure activation is originated from the cerebral cortex,and then propagates through the reciprocal circuits made up of the cortex and the subcortical structures.The cerebral cortex and the brain stem reticular formation are the main structures that propagate the seizure to contralateral hemisphere.The subcortical structures play important roles in the seizure propagation and seizure manifestation.

Objective To study on wavelet transform in calcium sparks image de-noising when excitation contraction cou-pling(ECC) was studied and researched by scanning confocal microscopy,in order to elucidate the mechanism of ECC.But due to the noise exist in most calcium sparks image,it is hardly to recognize and analyze the useful information of calcium sparks.So how to increase the signal-to-noise rate is very important in calcium spark studying.Methods By using the self-developed software based on multi-scale wavelet transform to remove the noise exists in the calcium sparks images.Results The experiments shows that the method can be increased the signal-to-noise rate in about 80 calcium sparks images.Con-clusion The new method for calcium spark expression and spatial and temporal analysis is provided.
