To develop a method to monitor the intraocular pressure (IOP) of the anterior chamber in vivo in normal rabbits, to observe the value of the normal IOP, and to detect the distribution regularity in the 24 hours of normal rabbits. Normal IOP was monitored in 15 New Zealand white rabbit eyes. The measurements of IOP of all the experimental rabbits were by Millar transducer which was embedded in the...
The purpose of this study was to investigate incessant changes of mandibular growth in subjects with growing class III children using strain tensor analysis (STA). The mandibular landmarks of initial and final cephalographs of 40 Taiwanese children with untreated class III malocclusion were defined and digitized. F test evidenced statistical difference (p<0.01) between two stages of mandibular...
CD138 immune magnetic beads, made from CD138 antibody and nano-gold magnetic beads, can be used to separate multiple myeloma (MM) cells from others. The enriched MM cells are used for chromosome examination by the way of FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization), which is important for disease prognosis. Now in domestic it must be imported, and has a high price. We ourselves make CD138 immune magnetic...
5' - Phenyl-1 , 1' : 3' , 1" -terphenyl (m-TBP) was detected in aerosol samples of different function areas in Beijing for the first time, and was also detected in aerosols collected during the 29th Olympic games. The concentration of m-TBP was relatively higher in the different function areas. The detection of m-TBP is not only related to rubbish incineration, but is also probably related to...
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships among distress disclosure; non-supportive social responses, and anxiety, then predict anxiety of college students. The subjects of this study were college students from universities in the southern area of Taiwan. The subjects were assessed by group measurements in which 1,650 copies questionnaire were sent out and 1,612 were retrieved from...
Different types of quaternized carboxymethyl chitosans (QCMCs) were prepared in this study. The moisture absorption abilities of each QCMCs were measured at 81% and 43% relative humidity (RH), and the moisture retention abilities were done at 81% RH, at 43% RH and in silica gel. Hyaluronic acid (HA) was used as control in each condition. Results showed that, both at 81% and 43% RH, each QCMCs had...
Enlightened by the disparity between the experimental and theoretical calculations of flexion and extension muscle activities, this paper proposes that co-contraction contributes to arm impedance control even during free planar movements. Therefore, the proposal above, implemented with the neuro-muscle-skeleton model and optimal control tool, could yield stiffness ellipses which are consistent with...
In toxicological studies,it is desirable for a method to not declare a higher dose to be safe if it does not declare a lower dose to be safe, Hsu and Berger(1999)and Tao,Guo and Shi(2002)'s stepwise confidence interval method were recently proposed for this purpose.However, their procedure necessitates the exact values of the observations under normal population. In this article, we propose a stepwise...
The amylomaltase gene of the Streptomyces ST66 was cloned. The open reading frame of this gene consisted of 2,136 nucleotides and encoded a polypeptide that was711 amino acids. The amylomaltase gene was overexpressed in E. coli. The detailed action profile of crude enzyme from E.coli Top 10F'/pTrc-CKS- MalQ on amylose was analyzed and tested whether this crude enzyme could catalyze cyclization of...
The aim of this research was to jointly test effects of work stressors and coping strategies on job performance among employees in the Greater China region. A self- administered survey was conducted to collect data from three major cities in the region, namely Beijing, Hong Kong, and Taipei (N = 380). We found that (1) work stressors were negatively related to job performance. (2) Chinese positive...
The resonance rayleigh scatterting (RRS) spectrum of 3-(4'-methylphenyl)-5-(4'-methyl-2'- sulfophenylazo) rhodanine and bovine serum albumin (BSA) in the BR (Britton-Robinson) buffer solution at pH 2.3 was studied with the presence of SDS microemulsion. It was found the RRS intensity of M4MRASP and that of BSA is weak respectively, but sharply enhanced when the two compounded. The RRS intensity was...
In order to remove sulfide from petroleum refinery, An packed bed bioreactor was constructed by immobilizing Thiobacillus ferrooxidans (T. f) on polyurethane foam HG-12 as carrier. Under the optimum condition of the immobilization bioreactor: air flow rate 200 L/h, 30degC and pH 2.0, a maximum Fe2+ oxidation of 7.21g/L.h was attained. And the complex compound forming on the surface of the carrier...
In order to purify blogical Chinese herbal medicine from wood etractives and hmicellulose at the molecular level, the fresh Chinese-fir cells were extracted in LiOH solution, and were analyzed by ZETA and SIZER to find out the leaching rule of nano particles in Chinese-fir cells. The results are as follows: (1) The extraction mass arrived at the maximum value when LiOH concentration is about 17.5%...
Expressions of Notchl and Cyclin D1 were analysed by immunohistochemical method in the specimens of normal mammary tissue, usual hyperplasia, atypical hyperplasia, cancer in situ, and invasive cancer tissue, which were obtained from the patients operated due to some kind of breast disease. We observed an evidently decreased Notchl and increased cyclin D1 expression respectively from normal tissue...
In the present study, a new measurement of subsequence distribution discrepancy (MSDD) was applied to analyze the concerted activity pattern of a group of spike trains. The changes of concerted pattern in a neuronal population affected by the activity of GABA inhibitory pathway were estimated using this method. Comparison between MSDD and classical cross-correlation analysis showed that the parameter...
Treatment of slightly-polluted surface water by Electrocoagulation-Microfiltration (EC-MF) was studied. The factors influences on removal efficiencies of TOC, NH3-N and oil, such as current density, electrolytic time and pH value had been investigated. Based on the optimize experiments on the single factor, Xuzhou section of Beijing-Hangzhou Canal water was cleaned by EC-MF. The results showed that...
To illustrate the possible function of genotoxicity of BBP on DNA, this study took mice livers as experimental materials to detect the levels of DNA-protein crosslinks (DPC), the activity of surperoxide dismutase (SOD), and the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) with intraperitioneal injection of different doses of BBP for two consecutive 14 days. DPC levels in hepatic cells showed a dose-dependent...
Landfill leachate pre-treatment was studied by Fenton reagent composed of FeSO4ldr7H2O and H2O2. The different effect factors of CODcr were studied, such as pH value, Fenton reagent under different dosages, the molar ratio of ferrous ion to H2O2 and reaction time. The results indicated: when the pH value was 3.0, the dosages of H2O2 was 0.25 mol, FeSO4ldr7H2O and H2O2 in the molar proportion was 10...
In order to overcome the above-mentioned negative effects, the fresh Chinese-fir shavings were extracted in KOH soultion, were analyzed by ZETA and SIZER to find out the leaching rule of nano particles in Chinese-fir wood. The results are as follows: (1) The extraction mass arrived at the maximum value when KOH concentration is about 17.5%. The micro/nano particles in Chinese-fir shavings would be...
