Its features are as follows. j Anomaly types are complete. The trend anomaly, short-term anomaly, short-imminent anomaly and exponential anomaly appeared 19 months, 56 days, 4 days, and more than 1 month before the event, respectively; k Anomaly is large in magnitude. The maximal magnitude of strain anomaly is 1.7×10?5, which is rare in the past 20-year observation records at Wushi station; l Strain rate fluctuates sharply with obvious alternation of tension and compression. According to the magnitude of strain anomaly, time of expo- nential anomaly appearance and regional features of recorded anomaly, we could predict the magnitude, occur- rence time and potential region to a certain degree.展开更多

The results show that the mei-yu front is a front system which consists of an iso-theta(e) dense area with strong horizontal gradient, a deep-convective cloud tower band, a passageway transporting warm and moist air flow from the summer monsoon surge in the mid and low levels to the south of the mei-yu front, and a migrating synoptic scale trough to the north of the mei-yu front, which transports cold and dry air southward in the mid and upper levels. The maintenance of the mei-yu front is realized by: (1) is a positive feedback between the moist physical process enhancing frontogenesis and the development of the strong convective system in front of the mei-yu front; (2) the sustaining system to the north of the mei-yu front which is a migrating synoptic scale trough transporting cold and dry air to the mei-yu front and positive vorticity to the mesoscale system in front of the mei-yu front.展开更多

Methods: A series of 58 consecutive patients with refractory paroxysmal AF were enrolled to undergo segmental radiofrequency ablation ofPV ostia. The 36 male and 22 female patients with mean age of (57.4±9.5) (32～79)atrium (LA) and proximal PVs. Patients then underwent segmental radiofrequency ablation of PV ostia using PV circular mapping catheter manipulated several times to ensure complete isolation between PVs and LA. Results: No complications occurred during the procedure. One patient developed delayed cardiac tamponade, which was drained percutaneously. The mean follow-up time was (17.1±9.3) months. Forty-one patients (95%) experienced improved quality of life one month after the procedure. Thirty-six patients (83%) showed stable sinus rhythm, while 10 patients (23%) required additional anti-arrhythmic drugs. AF returned≥1time in 6 (14%) patients who underwent anti-arrhythmic drug therapy, but the number of episodes was less than that before the procedure. However, one patient experienced recurrent episodes of atrial flutter. Conclusion: It is safe and effective to perform segmental radiofrequency ablation of PV ostia for patients with refractory paroxysmal AF using MSCT guidance mappening.展开更多

Methods： Forty patients with PADAM were treated with JSP, the efficacy was evaluated with international index of erectile function （IIEF） scoring, PADAM questionnaire scoring, hormone, prostatic specific antigen （PSA）, etc., and the data before treatment were compared with those after treatment in the same group. Results： After 3 months of treatment, PADAM scoring and IIEF scoring were all significantly improved. Symptoms regarding physical ability, vasomotion, and psychical and mental condition all got improved more markedly than symptoms regarding sexual hypofunction. The serum level of testosterone was 3.85±0.36 before treatment and 5.02±0.83 after treatmnet （P〈0.05）; luteinizing hormone of 7.33±2.14 and 4.84±1.43 （P〈0.01）, follicule-stimulating hormone of 10.22±4.48 and 6.47±3.28 （P〈0.01）, respectively. The level of PSA failed to change significantly （1.94±0.55 and 2.06±0.47, P〉0.05）. Conclusion： JSP is effective and safe in treating PADAM, the mechanism of it is different from supplementing extrinsic androgen. It may have produced the effect by means of favorably regulating the condition of sex hormone to improve the balance of pituitary-sex gland axis, so it has more extensive clinical application.展开更多

The solubilities were calculated by λh method, in which new parameters were introduced to express the activity coefficients of trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol, and determined from the experimental data. The new parameters provide good calculated results. The experimental data were also correlated with a simple model, and results were compared with present λh model.展开更多

If Taigu fault, Mianshan west-side fault and Huoshan piedmont fault were contemporarily active during the 1303 Hongtong M = 8 earthquake, the surface rupture zone would be 160 km long and could be divided into 3 segments, that is, the 50-km-long Huoshan piedmont fault segment, 35-km-long Mianshan west-side fault segment and 70-km-long Taigu fault segment, respectively. Among them, there exist 4 km and 8 km step regions. The surface rupture zone exhibits right-lateral features. The displacements of northern and central segments are respectively 6~7 m and the southern segment has the maximum displacement of 10 m. The single basin-boundary fault of Shanxi fault-depression system usually corresponds to M 7 earthquake, while this great earthquake (M = 8) broke through the obstacle between two basins. It shows that the surface rupture scale of great earthquake is changeable.展开更多
