An anahrmonie model of a two-dimensional oscillator having Kratzer potential energy function is used to model the molecular species and to represent the unperturbed system. A selection rule for the radial quantum number of the oscillator is derived. The eigenfunctions of a two-dimensional anharmonic oscillator in cylindrical coordinates are used for the matrix elements representing the probability for energy transitions in dipole approximation to be calculated. Several forms of perturbation operators are proposed to model the interaction between the polyatomic molecular species and an electrostatic field. It is found that the degeneracy is removed in the presence of the electric field and spectral splitting occurs. Anharmonic approximation for the unperturbed system is more accurate and reliable representation of a reaJ polyatomic molecular species.展开更多

First, the threedimensional structure model of the antigen-binding fragment of anti-trichosanthin immunoglobulin E was built on the basis of its amino-acid sequence and the known three-dimensional structure of an antibody with similar sequence. Secondly, the preferable antigen-antibody interactions were obtained based on the known three-dimensional structure of trichosanthin and of the hypervariable regions of anti-trichosanthin immunoglobulin E. Two regions in the molecular surface of trichosanthin were found to form extensive interactions with the hypervariable regions of the antibody and have been predicted to be the possible antigenic determinants: one is composed of two polypeptide segments, Ile201-Glu210 and Ile225-Asp229, which are close to each other in the three-dimensional structure; and the other is the segment Lys173-Thr178. The former region seems to be the more reasonable antigenic determinant than the latter one.展开更多

Rats in the EA groups were treated for20 min, once daily for 7 days. The mechanical withdrawal threshold was evaluated at 1 day preoperatively and at 3, 5, and 7 days postoperatively. At 7days postoperatively, hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to investigate spinal morphological changes. Spinal EP2 messenger ribonucleic acid(m RNA) was detected using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction.RESULTS: After the EA treatment, the mechanical withdrawal threshold was up-regulated compared with the model group(P < 0.05). The expression of EP2 m RNA was up-regulated in the spinal cord on day 7 after surgery(P < 0.05). EA stimulation tended to down-regulate EP2 m RNA expression compared with the model group(P > 0.05). The EA 1and EA 2 groups showed a larger treatment effect than the EA 3 group. The HE results showed that EA can improve spinal histomorphology induced by neuropathic pain.CONCLUSION: EA had a strong analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. The therapeutic effect of EA on the down-regulation of spinal EP2 m RNA expression may be greater when either local acupoints or a distal-proximal combination of acupoints are used than when distal points are used.展开更多
