In this paper, microcrystalline cellulose WJ101 was used as a model material to investigate the effect of various process parameters on granule yield and friability after dry granulation with a single factor and the effect of comprehensive inspection process parameters on the effect of granule yield and friability, then the correlation between process parameters and granule quality was established. The regress equation was established between process parameters and granule yield and friability by multiple regression analysis, the affecting the order of the size of the order of the process parameters on granule yield and friability was: rollers speed > rollers pressure > speed of horizontal feed. Granule yield was positively correlated with pressure and speed of horizontal feed and negatively correlated rollers speed, while friability was on the contrary. By comparison, fitted value and real value, fitted and real value are basically the same of no significant differences (P > 0.05) and with high precision and reliability.

Objective To study the correlation between intelligence and gross motor function for children with cerebral palsy. Methods 90 children with cerebral palsy (CP) were assessed with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), Wechsler preschool and primary scale of intelligence (WPPSI), Wechsler intelligence scale for children (WISC-R) and analyzed statistically. Results The intelligence quotient (IQ) and verbal intelligence quotient (VIQ) of the children with athetotic cerebral palsy were normal, but lower than the average level of normal children(P<0.05). The IQ, VIQ and performance intelligence quotient (PIQ) of the children with spastic cerebral palsy were below the normal (P<0.05), the difference between VIQ and PIQ was significant (P<0.05). For children with spastic cerebral palsy, there was linear correlation between intelligence and the class of GMFCS, and for children with athetotic cerebral palsy there was no linear correlation. Conclusion There were differences of intelligence level and intelligence structure in different types of cerebral palsy, the correlation between intelligence and the class of GMFCS were also different in different types of cerebral palsy.

CONCLUSIONDry granulating was highly influenced by the physical properties of herbal extracts and the parameters of dry granulating process. The greater impact on grain dry method are compression, cohesion and wheel speed.

This paper was aimed to study the moisture adsorption of Chinese herbal medicine ingredients at different environment.The film mass transfer model and Fick's second law were applied to evaluate the moisture diffusion for Chinese herbal medicine ingredients.The results showed that under the temperature of 25℃ and 50％ relative humidity,the diffusion coefficient of 13 medicine ingredients reached the highest.The diffusivity was controlled by film mass transfer.However,both film mass transfer and Fick's second law can be existed at the same time under different temperature and humidity.It was concluded that the diffusion of water in the traditional Chinese medicine might have been driven by a variety of diffusion mechanism,which was obviously affected by environmental factors.
