The present study is devoted to the further application of linear concentration addition（CA）-based model（LCA） and independent action（IA）-based model（LIA） to predict the non-interactive mixture toxicity. The 26 mixtures including 312 data points were used to evaluate the predictive powers of LCA and LIA models. The models were internally validated using the leave-one-out cross-validation and y-randomization test, and the external validations were evaluated by the test tests. Both LCA and LIA models agree well with the experimental values for all mixture toxicity, and present high internally（R2 and Q2 〉 0.98） and externally（Q2F1, Q2F2, and Q2F3 〉 0.99） predictive power. The use of LCA and LIA led to improved predictions compared to the estimates based on the CA and IA models. Both LCA and LIA were found to be appropriate methods for modeling toxicity of non-interactive chemical mixtures.展开更多

Methods: Based on the principal component analysis of element contents in Chinese herbs, the effects of 25 chemical elements in the 11 kinds of Chinese herbs in the caine kidney mixture have been analyzed. Results: The traditional Chinese medicines of rehmannia, astragalus, mulberry, salvia miltiorrhiza, rhubarb in the caine kidney mixture play a major role in the treatment of chronic renal failure. Conclusion: The principal component analysis is very practical in the compatibility of medicines and concentrated prescriptions.展开更多

In this work, thermodynamic properties of deuterium-tritium mixture in a wide range of temperatures and pressures have been predicted. Buckingham exp-6 potential has been utilized in calculations, based on statistical perturbation theory. The effects of various values of density, temperature and isotopic concentrations on pressure have been studied. Eventually, we have found out symmetrical effects of tritium concentration in deuterium-tritium mixtures.展开更多
