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.

Cryoprecipitation is one of the most important blood components.With the deeper study about cryoprecipitation,it has been used in clinics more and more extensively.This articles reviewed the new development of cryoprecipitation in clinical uses.

Objective To explore the effects of ultraviolet irradiation on platelet. Methods Three assays were been developed.These include platelet count,release of alpha granule membrane protein 140(GMP-140)and morphology of platelet by electron micrograph in those samples before and after ultraviolet irradiation.Results Compared with the nonirradiated controls,the irradiated units showed significant changes including decrease of platelet count,increase of release of GMP-140 and platelet lesion in morphology.Conclusion Ultraviolet irradiation may have activation and lesion effect in platelet.

This study was aimed to explore a simple and applicable method of separating mature sperms from human testicular tissue for intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer. The suspension of human testicular tissue was cultured in 10% human serum albumin and human tubule fluid with different concentrations (0 u/ml; 50 u/ml; 100 u/ml; 150 u/ml; 200 u/ml) of hyaluronidase for 24 h, and then the Percoll gradient centrifugation was processed to separate the sperms; meanwhile the sperms were counted and graded according to their motility. The difference in quality and quantity among the groups and the difference between the groups and the zero-hour culturing group were detected. It was shown that the four hyaluronidase-treated groups contained large quantity and high quality of sperms as compared with the two contrast groups (P<0.01). The groups in the solution of 50 u/ml, 100 u/ml and 150 u/ml concentrations of hyaluronidase had almost the same amount of sperms that displayed higher motility as compared against the sperms in the group treated with 200 u/ml concentration of hyaluronidase (P<0.01). There was no difference between the two contrast groups (P>0.05), or among the groups treated with 50 u/ml, 100 u/ml, and 150 u/ml of hyaluronidase concentration (P>0.05). This method of adopting hyaluronidase with Percoll gradient centrifugation in the process for separating mature sperms from human testicular tissue is applicable. It can increase the quantity and quality of sperms separated from testicular tissue suspensions when adequate concentrations of hyaluronidase is used.
