A new mathematical equation characterizing the compression of pharmaceutical materials is presented. This equation presumed that the rate of change of the compressible volume of powder with respect to the pressure is proportional to the compressible volume. The new model provided a good fit to several model substances employing non-linear regression techniques. The validity of the model had been verified with experimental results of various pharmaceutical powders according to the Akaikes informatics criterion (AIC) and the sum of squared deviations (SS). The parameter of the new model might reflect quantitatively the fundamental compression behaviors of the powders. It had demonstrated that the proposed model could well predict the compaction characteristics of solid particles like the Kawakita model.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between intraplaque hemorrhage of cerebral arteries and acute cerebral infarcts. Methods 35 patients with severe stenosis in M1 segment of middle cerebral arteries (MCA)were included in this study.Intracranial TOF MRA (time of flight MR angiography)was performed to detect the stenosis in MCA,and DWI (diffusion weighted imaging) was performed to detect cerebral acute infarcts.T1 MPRAGE sequence was positioned on the stenosis in M1 segment of MCA,and intraplaque hemorrhage was determined according to high signal on T1 MRRAGE images.35 patients were divided into two groups:one group with intraplaque hemorrhage and the other group without intraplaque hemorrhage.Whether there was significant differ-ence in the incidences of acute cerebral infarcts between the two groups were determined byχ2 test.Results Intraplaque hemorrhage was detected in 1 5 patients,in which 12 patients had acute cerebral infarcts.There were no intraplaque hemorrhage in 20 patients,in which 9 patients had acute cerebral infarcts.There was significant difference in the incidences of acute cerebral infarcts between the two groups (P =0.046 <0.05).Conclusion There is a higher incidence of acute cerebral infarcts in patients with intraplaque hem-orrhage than those without intraplaque hemorrhage.Intraplaque hemorrhage in severe stenosis of cerebral arteries is a high-risk indi-cation for acute cerebral infarction.

Objective To investigate the changing features of microtubule associated protein 2 (MAP2) expression, which was a neural dendrite marker, of epileptic rat and the intervention results after using Diazepam. The relations between MAP2 and epileptogenesis were also explored.Methods Model of epileptic rat was established by Pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) and divided into PTZ-NA group,PTZ-Diazepam group, Diazepam-PTZ group and normal control group. Immunohistochemistry method was applied on hippocampus of epileptic rats to determine the change of MAP2 immunoreactivity (MAP2-IR) with or without Diazepam intervention at various time points. MAP2-IR was showed by mean optical density (COD).Results In the PTZ-NA group and PTZ-Diazepam group, MAP2-IR in molecular cell layer of hippocampal dentate gyrus increased after 3 days (all P

Methods The schistosomiasis surveillance data were collected and analyzed in Yizhou City from 2011 to 2014. Results From 2011 to 2014,770.38 hm2 was surveyed for the Oncomelania hupensis snails,and two snail infested sites were found,while no infected snails were found. Totally 3 524 residents were tested by ELISA for Schistosoma japonicum infection,and 38 cases were posi?tive. The positive rate of 2013 was significantly higher than those of other three years( χ2 = 15.08,P < 0.05). Totally 432 rats and 28 dogs were dissected and 1 697 cattle were examined by the stool test,but no positive cases were found. Conclusions The indicators of schistosomiasis surveillance are basically stable in Yizhou City.

BACKGROUND: Agiotensin Ⅰ -converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides which are separated from red tilapia skin collagen should be researched further.OBJECTIVE: To obtain a peptide of high ACE inhibitory activity through enzymic hydrolysates of red tilapia skin collagen.DESIGN: Enzymic hydrolysates were done with orthogonal experimental method; decompression peptide was separated with ultrafiltration, gel chromatography and hypertensive liquid chromatography.SETTING: Laboratory of Aquatic Products, Chinese Marine University.MATERIALS: The red tilapia weighing (500+50)g was donated by Branch Factory of Jimo Redian Factory. ACE was isolated from hog lung.METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the Laboratory of Aquatic Products, Chinese Marine University from May Bergman.①The collagen from red tilapia skin was extracted using the method described by Grossman and Bergman.The collagen extraction was hydrolyzed with compound enzymes in the order of bromelain and Alcalase 2.4 L.The red tilapia collagen hydrolysates (RTCH) were subsequently boiled to inactivate the enzyme. The resultant RTCH was fractionated through three different UF membrane bioreactor system having a range of molecular weight cut-offs (MWCO) of Mr 6 000, 4 000 and 1 000. Three portions were obtained: RTCH-I (M, 6000-4000), RTCH- Ⅱ (Mr 4000-1000)and RTCH-Ⅲ(Mr＜1000).②The ACE inhibitory 50%of ACE activity was defined as the IC50 value.③RTCH-Ⅲ(1.5 Ml) with the highest activity among RTCHs was loaded onto a Sephadex G-25 column (1.6×100 cm), and the absorbance of theeluent was monitored at 220 nm. Four samples of primary hydrolysates, RTCH- Ⅰ, RTCH- Ⅱ and RTCHⅢ were separated to collect active fractions which were pooled and lyophilized, immediately. The lyophilized fraction was separated with HPLC ODS-C18 analysis column to obtain component of high activity. Meanwhile, the same method was used to measure ACE inhibitory rate.④Each sample was hydrolyzed with 6 mol/L hydrochloric acid containing 1g/L thioglycolic acid at 110 ℃ for 24 hours in vacuum. The amino acid compositions of the resultant hydrolysates were determined on an amino acid auto analyzer, and molecular weight was measured with HPLC technique.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES：①ACE inhibitory activity of fractionated RTCHS;②Purification of ACE inhibitory peptide;③Amino acid analysis of ACE inhibitory peptides.RESULTS:①ACE inhibitory activityof fractionated RTCHs:IC50values of RTCH-Ⅰ,RTCH-Ⅱand RTCH-Ⅲ were 3.30,2.23 and 0.31 g/L,and inhibitory of RTCH-Ⅲ was the highest.②Purification of ACE inhibitory peptide: The IC50 value of the four peak were 3.5, 2.12, 1.56 and 0.65 g/L, respectively. Results in Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5 showed that the high active fractions were: 6K4, 4K2, 1K2 and ACF2, and the inhibitory ratio were 11.1%, 89.9%, 65.0% and 49.7%, respectively.Among of these fractions,the 4K2 exhibited the highest inhibitory rate.③Amino acid analysis of ACE inhibitory peptides: Separated peptide products had more aromatic and hydrophobic amino acids.CONCLUSTON: Enzymic hydrolysates of red tilapia skin collagen have high ACE inhibitory peptide which is separated with ultrafiltration, gel chromatography and hypertensive liquid chromatography.

Objective To reconstruct sparse views CT image based on defective projection data.Methods The position of bad bins in detector determined whether the linear interpolation was applied to the defective projection data.Moreover,reconstruction of air pixels in CT image was achieved rapidly and accurately.Results he experimental results showed that the proposed method could solve the problem from classical ART-TV method that the robustness was unstable due to the different positions of bad bin in CT detector.Conclusion Compared to analytical reconstruction methods,iterative methods can solve the reconstruction problems in this modality so that the radiologist is facilitated to perform image processing and quantitative analysis.

Objective To assess these in a consecutive series of patients with ICC treated surgically. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 189 ICC patients undergoing surgery.Surgical results and survival were evaluated and compared among different subgroups of patients.Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify prognostic factors.Results R0,R1,R2 resection and exploratory laparotomy were obtained in 63,84,31 and 11 patients,respectively.The overall 5 -year survival rates for the entire cohort were 16.8%,with corresponding rates of 26.3% for patients with R0 resection;14.3% for patients with R1 resection;6.8% for patients with R2 resection;and 0.0% for patients with an exploratory laparotomy.Independent factors for poor survival included positive resection margin,multiple tumors,beta - catenin nuclear expression and lymph node metastasis. Conclusion R0 resection offers the best possibility of long -term survival,but the chance of a R0 resection is low when surgery is performed for potential resectable ICC.Patients with characteristics of beta -catenin nuclear expres-sion,multiple tumors and lymph node metastasis are indicated to surgery which is needed to be further studied.
