In order to investigate the impact of channel estimation error on channel capacity of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system, a novel method is proposed to explore the channel capacity in correlated Rayleigh fading environment. A system model is constructed based on the channel estimation error at receiver side. Using the properties of Wishart distribution, the lower bound of the channel capacity is derived when the MIMO channel is of full rank. Then a method is proposed to select the optimum set of transmit antennas based on the lower bound of the mean channel capacity. The novel method can be easily implemented with low computational complexity. The simulation results show that the channel capacity of MIMO system is sensitive to channel estimation error, and is maximized when the signal-to-noise ratio increases to a certain point. Proper selection of transmit antennas can increase the channel capacity of MIMO system by about 1 bit/s in a flat fading environment with deficient rank of channel matrix.

Traditional Chinese medicine injections (TCMIs) originated in china, which was fast-acting with high bioavailability. TCMI is applied widely in clinic since it plays an important role for therapy severe and acute disease, such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), infectious diseases, malignancy, and etc. However, the adverse reactions reported of TCMIs are increasing in recent years. For this, the review summarized systematically the reports and researches of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) of TCMIs according to about 100 literatures in the nearly five years. The ADR of TCMIs mainly includes allergic reaction, respiratory damage, digestive system damage, cardiovascular system damage and urinary system damage, and etc. The main causes are relative with complexity, uncertainty and instability of the drug material. Influence of excipients, pharmaceutical technologies, drug combination and application method was also discussed. There are many methods on adverse reactions of TCMIs, including descriptive studies, analytical epidemiology and experimental studies. This article provided necessary information for reasonable application of TCMIs in clinical practice.

Objective: To develop a new quantitative determination method for the biological activity of recombinant human ciliary neurotrophic factor. Methods: Dorsal root ganglions were derived from the chick embryo and dispersed into single neuron cell,The rhCNTF was added to neuron cells and incubated for 64 hours,The activity of acid phosphatase in neuron cells was determined and the biological activity of rhCNTF was analyzed quantificationally. Result: rhCNTF could promote original era dorsal root neuron cells of chick embryo surviving,the livability of neuron cells was positively related to the amount of rhCNTF added to the culture. Conclusion: A quantitative determination method for the biological activity of rhCNTF was developed by testing the activity of acid phosphatase in neuron cells. Compared with the typical ways,this method was quantificational easily,repeatable better and with much fewer disturbance factors.

BACKGROUND:Active vitamin D3 plays an important role in the development of type 2 diabetes and its complications. OBJECTIVE: To explore the influence of active vitamin D3 on the liver of type 2 diabetes melitus rats, and its mechanisms. METHODS:A total of 35 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal control group, diabetes group and vitamin D3 group. In the diabetes group and vitamin D3 group, rats received high fat and high sugar diet and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin to prepare rat models of diabetes melitus. In the vitamin D3 group, rats were intragastricaly given calcitriol dissolved in peanut oil 0.03 μg/kg per day. In the normal control group and diabetes group, rats were intragastricaly given peanut oil. 8 weeks later, rats were sacrificed and serum was isolated. Fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, total cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels were measured. Insulin resistance index in the steady-state model was calculated. The liver was retained, and subjected to hematoxylin-eosin staining, immunohistochemical staining, and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Compared with the diabetes group, triacylglycerol and insulin resistance index were lower in the vitamin D3 group (P < 0.05). (2) Compared with the normal control group, sweling of the liver cels and fatty degeneration with inflammatory cel infiltration were found. Protein expression of JNK and C-Jun and phosphorylation levels, mRNA expression of JNK and C-Jun, tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin-1β increased in the diabetes group (P < 0.05). Liver cel sweling and fatty degeneration lessened, inflammatory cel infiltration reduced in the vitamin D3 group. Simultaneously, the expression of above factors was lower in the vitamin D3 group than in the diabetes group (P < 0.05). (3) Results suggested that the protective effect of vitamin D3 on the liver of rats with type 2 diabetes was possibly associated with its effect on downregulating JNK/C-Jun signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of Mekel diverticulitis,and to improve the cognition rate and diagnosis rate of the disease.Methods The clinical data of 7 patients with Mekel diverticulitis misdiagnosed as acute appendicitis were retrospectively analyzed,and the related literature was reviewed.Results 7 cases of Mekel diverticulitis were misdiagnosed as acute appendicitis before surgery,all corrected diagnosis and operation.One case of mild incision infection after surgery,the remaining 6 cases did not appear complications.After treatment were cured after 7-12d discharged.Conclusion Mekel diverticulitis is lack of specific clinical manifestations and effective auxiliary examination method,easily misdiagnosed as acute appendicitis,when the clinical manifestations of appendicitis is not typical,need to further analysis,identification;when the surgery found appendix lesions are not coincide with clinical practice,the distal ileum should be routinely probed to determine the presence of Meckel diverticulitis.
