Objective To develop the numerical method for the steady and unsteady wet steam condensing flow in turbine stage. Methods An Eulerian/Eulerian numerical model is used to describe the spontaneous condensation flow in the steam turbine. For the steady condensing flow computations, the mixing plane model was used. For the unsteady condensing flow computations, the sliding mesh method was used to simulate the rotor-stator interactions. Results The numerical results showed the obvious differences between non-condensing and condensing flows. The results also showed the unsteadiness effect due to rotor-stator interactions had a deep influence on the formation and growth process of water droplets. Conclusion The numerical methods presented in this paper are valid for the condensing flow in the turbine stage.

Objective To study the mutants of pre C/C gene and the base core premotor (BCP) in chronic hepatitis B patients carrying or not carrying hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg). Method The HBV DNA of BCP and PreC/C ware amplified by PCR from serum samples of patients with chronic hepatitis B, and the products were cloned into T vector and sequenced. Results Of BCP variants, the double mutations of T1762/ A1764 were found in 20 of 42 patients with chronic hepatitis, and the prevalence was significantly lower in HBeAg positive patients (7/20) than in HBeAg negative patients (13/22) (P

Objective To investigate the feasibility and results of the application of both expanded cutaneous flap and temporoparietal fascia flap in total ear reconstruction with Medpor framework.Methods The main procedures consisted of three stages:stage Ⅰ-skin expansion,stage Ⅱ auricle formation that consisted of orientation of Medpor implant and creation of coverage for the implant by both expaned skin flap and temporoparietal fascia flap,and stage Ⅲ-treatment of residual ear and recontruction of auricular lobule. Results Twenty-two ears in 22 unilateral microtia patients were constructed using Medpor implants covered with both expanded cutaneous flap and temporoparietal fascia flap over the last three years,and they were accepted as pleasing by the patients.Conclusions Application of both expanded cutaneous flap and temporoparietal fascia flap can assure no extrusion of Medpor implant in ear reconstruction.Further more,the two layers of transferred tissues will not affect the profile details of the reconstructed ear.And because the skin covering the framework and fascia is derived from frommastoid region,the appearance and profile of the reconstructed auricle is true to nature and close to that of the opposite one.

Objective To observe the effects of vitamin K3(VK3) on cell growth and apoptosis in the cell line SMMC-7721 of human liver cancer and the changes in expression of survivin gene.Methods The inhibitory effect of VK3 on SMMC-7721 cells was examined by CCK-8 (cell counting kit).Morphological evaluation of apoptosis was performed by Hoechst33342 staining.The amount of apoptotic cell was assayed by flowcytometry.The changes of survivin gene expression were detected by RT-PCR.Results The inhibitory rate of VK3 (at concentrations of 2,5,10,20,25 mmol/L for 48 h) on SMMC-7721 growth was 3.8%,50.1%,63.9%,78.5%,84.7% respectively.The cells in apoptosis were strongly stained by Hoechst33342 compared with the cells in control group.The apoptostic rate of cells was 33.28%,63.97%,77.69%,87.30% and 92.40%.Following exposure to VK3 at the concentration of 2,5,10,20 and 25 mmol/L for 48h,the survivin mRNA expression in SMMC-7721 was downregulated.Conclusion VK3 inhibits the proliferation of SMMC-7721 cells and induce apoptosis.The mechanism may related to survivn gene.

The infection of HBV may cause acute and chronic hepatitis B,and potentially lead to hepatocirrhosis and liver cancer.As a defense mechanism of organism to resist external infection,RNA interference(RNAi) has become a powerful tool for us to study its effects on antiviral infection and gene therapy in recent years.In this article we summarize the mechanisms of RNA interference and the progress on anti-HBV infection studies by RNAi.

Chronic stress can induce hippocampus injury such as neuron loss, dendrite atrophy, but its mechanism and molecular basis remain unclear up to now. To understand the molecular mechanism on protein level and find the crucial proteins which correlated with chronic stress-induced injury, two-dimensional electrophoresis was applied to separate the hippocampal total proteins of control group and restraint stressed rats, then the differential expressed proteins were detected by image analysis and identified by matrix assisted laser desorption /ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) as well as database searching. Moreover, the 2-DE results were verified on the mRNA level by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The hippocampal 2-DE map with high resolution and good reproducibility of control and stress group rats were obtained. Fourteen differentially expressed protein spots were detected and eleven proteins were successfully identified, most of these proteins were involved in the process of energy metabolism and signal transduction. These results provide a clue for elucidating the mechanism of chronic stress-induced hippocampal injury and are useful for elevating the adaptability to stress.

Objective To analyze the impact of rs3826392 polymorphism in MKK4 promoter on prognosis of colorectal cancer cases (CRC) receiving adjuvant chemotherapy. Methods The associations between rs3826392 genotype of 203 CRC cases receiving adjuvant chemotherapy and clinicopathologic factors,overall survival (OS), disease free survival (DFS) were analyzed retrospectively. Results No association was found between rs3826392 genotype and clinicopathologic factors (P > 0.05). TG+GG genotype had better OS (P = 0.018) and DFS (P =0.019) when compared with TT genotype. Cox multivariate model showed rs3826392 TG+GG genotype remained independent favorable factor for OS(HR = 0.389;95%CI = 0.177-0.855) and DFS(HR=0.491;95%CI = 0.271-0.890) respectively. Conclusion -1304G variant genotypes (i.e., TG+GG) in rs3826392 may be the biomarker of better prognosis in CRC receiving adjuvant chemotherapy.

Objective: To establish a method for the determination of metamizole sodium and chlorphenamine malete in zhongganling Tablets. Methods: The sample was determined by ion pair HPLC after it was purified on Sep Pak C 18 microcolumn. The chromatographic conditions included: Hypersil DBS C 18 chromatographic column (250mm?4.6mm, i.d.5?m) as an anlaytical column, methanol mixed solution of sodium heptanesulfonate and glacial acetic acid (600∶400) as a mobile phase, the detection wavelength at 264nm and 1.0mL?min -1 of flow rate. Results: The average recoveries of metamizole sodium and chlorphenamine maleate were 99.6% (RSD was 2.1% and n was 6) and 98.0% (RSD was 1.5% and n was 6), respectively. Conclusion: Metamizole sodium and chlorphenamine maleate can be determined respectively by HPLC with the same mobile phase when Sep Pak C 18 microcolumn solid phase extraction method is used to substitute for the traditional sample pretreatment methods refluxing, extracting and concentrating, and sodium heptanesulfonate ion pair reagent in acid condition is selected.

Objective To investigate the effect of telephone call follow-up on compliance with opening-mouth exercises among nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC)patients with radiotherapy-induced difficulty in opening mouth.Methods Sixty four nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients undergoing radiotherapy were randomized into control group(n=31)and observation group(n=31).The former group was given health education and instructions for functional exercises of opening mouth at discharge and regular return visits after discharge,and the observation group received regular telephone call follow-ups by an appointed nurse besides the same treatment as in the control group.The two groups were compared in regard to the compliance with the exercises of opening mouth and the incidences of difficulties in opening mouth at the first and second years after discharge. Results The compliance of the observation group was significantly higher that in the control group(P<0.01).The incidences of difficulties in opening mouth in the observation group were significantly smaller than that in those of the control at the first and second years after discharge(P<0.01). Conclusion Telephone call follow-ups are effective in the improvement of compliance of functional exercises in NPC patients with radiotherapy-induced difficulty in opening mouth,the reduction of the incidence of mouth-opening problems and the improvement of their quality of life.
