The results of analyzing the managerial characteristics and complexity of product cooperative development suggest that task planning is an important aspect for process management of product cooperative development and the method for planning tasks should be able to model the dependency between tasks and iterations during the development process. In this paper, a DSM-based method and its corresponding optimization algorithms are developed. At first the coupled task sets and uncoupled task setsare identified, and the tasks are then optimized by the corresponding algorithms. The optimal tasks plan will reduce the development time and cost. Considering the practical requirements in real world, a Multilayer DSM is proposed, and its information communication techniques between DSM and traversing principle are described in details.

Objective:To explore total hepatic ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)-induced lung injury in rats,its related mechanism and the protective effects of melatonin on lungs.Methods: This study was divided into 2 parts.In the first part,72 healthy male SD rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 2 groups: I/R group(ischemia-reperfusion,n=36) and sham-operation group(n=36).Total hepatic I/R was produced by occlusion of hepatic helium for 30 minutes,and the occlusion was then released for reperfusion.The animals were killed at 5 minutes prior to ischemia and 0 h,0.5 h,1 h,3 h and 6 h after reperfusion in sham-operation group and I/R group(n=6 at each time point),and the lung tissue was taken.Through comparisons of these two groups,we observed the dynamic changes of lung tissue after total hepatic I/R.In the second part,12 healthy male SD rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 2 groups: melatonin group(n=6) and vehicle group(n=6).Melatonin(0.5%,10 mg/kg)or vehicle of the same volume was injected via femoral vein 15 min before ischemia and 10 min before reperfusion,the animals were killed at 1 h after reperfusion,and the lung tissue was taken.Through comparisons of these two groups,we observed the effects of melatonin.Results:(1)Total hepatic I/R led to severe histological injury in lungs.Compared with those in sham-operation group,the MDA content and apoptotic index were increased,the SOD activity was decreased,the p-ERK/ERK ratio and PCNA-positive index were decreased respectively 0 h and 0.5 h after reperfusion,and then were increased gra-dually.Histological examination revealed that the alveolar architecture was destroyed with interstitial thickening and neutrophil infiltration in I/R group.Correlate analysis revealed that p-ERK/ERK ratio showed a positive correlation with PCNA-positive index(r=0.56,P

To study the transport mechanisms of drugs for transplacental treatment of fetal tachyarrhythmia, MDCKII-BCRP and MDCKII cell models was used. MDCKII-BCRP and MDCKII cell monolayer model was used to investigate the bi-direction transport of sotalol, propranolol, propafenone, procainamide and flecainide. Drug concentrations were measured by HPLC-UV or chemiluminescence. The apparent permeability coefficient (P(app)), efflux rate (R(E)) and net efflux rate (R(net)) were calculated. Drugs with R(net) greater than 1.5 were further investigated using cellular accumulation experiments with or without a BCRP inhibitor. The R(net) of sotalol, propranolol, propafenone and procainamide were less than 1.5, while R(net) of flecainide with concentrations of 20 and 5 μmol x L(-1) were 1.6 and 1.9, respectively. The results showed that the transport of flecainide on MDCKII-BCRP cell monolayer could be mediated by BCRP; and the affinity increased when the concentration of flecainide decreased. Cellular accumulation experiments further suggested that accumulation of flecainide in MDCKII-BCRP cells was significantly lower than that in MDCKII cells in a concentration-dependent manner. BCRP inhibitor quercetin (50 μmol x L(-1)) significantly increased the accumulation of flecainide in MDCKII-BCRP cells (P < 0.05). Our preliminary data showed that flecainide but not sotalol, propranolol, propafenone or procainamide can be a substrate of BCRP. Thus the effect of flecainide may be affected by the BCRP in the maternal placental trophoblast membrane layer when treating fetal tachyarrhythmia.
