[Method] The laws of accumulation of starch in maize embryo and OSK(the other section of a kernel except embryo) of MEM(micro-endosperm maize) were studied in this experiment by taking Gaoyou 115 maize as control. [Result] The starch accumulation speed of MEM embryo was slightly lower than that of Gaoyou115 and the starch accumulation speed of MEM OSK was far lower than that of Gaoyou 115, so the starch content of the whole kernel of Gaoyou 115 was 3.4 to 4.5 times as high as that of MEM during harvesting. The embryo starch weight ration of Gaoyou 115 maize during harvesting was only 3% to 4% while that of MEM was 16% to 22%. Moreover, starch accumulation speeds of different MEM materials were different and there were significant differences in starch content during harvesting among different MEM materials. [Conclusion] The starch accumulation in MEM was slow, and MEM has widely variation on starch accumulation.展开更多

The size of the particles is 2-8 nm by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) technique. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the particles are cubic crystal structure, the same structure as the bulk ZnS materials. Ultraviolet absorption demonstrates an increased bandgap due to quantum confinement effect. Photoluminescence spectrum shows there is a single green emission band at 482 nm.展开更多

Free PSA levels were significantly higher in women with breast cancer than that in healthy women (P<0.05). The percentage of free PSA predominant subjects was 37.6% in breast cancer patients and 3.3% in healthy women. Cut-off values were 0.36 ng/ml for total PSA and 0.02 ng/ml for free PSA. In women with breast cancer, total PSA positivity was 23.5% and free PSA positivity was 27.1%. Compared to negatives, total PSA positive patients had a higher percentage of lymph node involvement tumours (P>0.05). However, patients with predominant free PSA had a higher percentage of early stage than patients with predominant PSA-ACT.Conclusion: Although the sensitivity of free PSA predominance is low (37.6%) in distinguishing women with breast cancer from healthy women, its specificity is high (97.0%).Free PSA predominance tends to be present in early stage tumours. These findings may indicate clinical significance of preoperative measurement of serum total and free PSA in women with breast cancer.展开更多

METHEDS: The orthogonal test design was used to optimize the technology of preparation. The character of the microspheres, drug release in vitro, stability and tissue distribution were examined. RESULTS: The Erythromycin polylactic acid microspheres was regular in its morphology. Drug was enveloped in microspheres but not physically mixed with PDLLA. The average particle size was 11.65mm with over 94% of the microspheres being in the range of 5~20mm; The drug loading and the incorporation efficiency were 18% and 60% respectively. The microspheres were stable for three month at 4℃ and room temperature. The in vitro release properties could be expressed by the Higuchi抯 equation: y = 28.067 + 3.8515t1/2 (r = 0.9834). Comparing with injection, the drug in microspheres was more concentrated in lung tissue. CONCLUSION: Erythromycin polylactic acid microspheres showed significant sustained release and lung targeting.展开更多

The deposition was carried out through the Brownian motion of water pools in the reverse microemulsion and the adsorption of water pools on the electrode surface. Effects of electrolytic parameters on the size of Ni particles were studied. The performances of hydrogen evolution and hydrogen storage of the Ni nanoparticles plating electrode were also investigated. The results indicate that the size of Ni nanoparticles decreases with the increase of Ni2+ concentration and the decrease of current density. The electrochemical activity of Ni nanoparticles plating electrode is much higher than that of bulk Ni electrode.展开更多

The results of IR and XRD analysis demonstrated that the desired polymer chains have been covalently bonded to the surface of Fe3O4 nano particles. The morphology analysis by TEM confirmed that the composite particles have the core-shell structure and a relatively uniform diameter of about 100nm. The magnetic properties of the obtained composite latex particles were measured by VSM and found that they exhibited super paramagnetic properties. Finally, the prepared magnetic composite particles latex is stable for several months.展开更多
