The reflectance spectral characteristics reflect the physiochemi-cal properties of saline soil. With 3 kinds of typical saline soils in the arid area as the study objects, the reflectance spectrums of soils with different salt contents and soil moistures were measured, and the spectral characteristics of the spectrums were analyzed. The results showed that under dry condition, the reflectance of the three kinds of saline soils presented obvious high-low patterns, while under damp condition, there was no obvious pattern. With continuum removed ,the three kinds of saline soils showed significant difference in reflectance spectral characteristics. There was significant difference in the absorption depth of the two absorption val eys un-der dry and damp conditions, which could be used to identify these 3 saline soils. The result of this research can be used for the parametric inversion and classifica-tion of saline soil retrieval and classification, as wel as for the remote sensing monitoring on saline soil.展开更多

The results showed that the lignin removal rate was 71.8% when the corn stover was treated with a caustic soda solution containing 1.5% of NaOH, at a temperature of 75 ℃ for 90 min with an initial solid-liquid ratio of 1:8(w/v). Hydrolysis yield of the NaOH pretreated sample reached 78.5%, which was much higher than other control groups. These results are useful for evaluation of pretreatment technologies, and identification of key factors that limit cellulose hydrolysis, and can also serve as a basis for designing and screening appropriate pretreatment technologies.展开更多

In our study, a combinatory liposomal delivery system containing doxorubicin (Dox) and harmine (HM) was constructed by thin film dispersing method together with pH gradient method. A simple, precise and accurate spectrophotometric method for the determination of Dox and HM in liposomal formulation was established and validated. A drug HSPC ratio of 1: 20, loading time of 30 min and loading temperature of 50 ~C were the optimal conditions for the preparation of drug loaded liposomes, which exhibited excellent physicochemical properties such as average particle size of-100 nm, low polydispersity index below 0.2 and high entrapment efficiency above 93%. Sustained release of drug from liposomes at pH 7.4 showed good biological safety. The synergetic cytotoxic effect for these two drugs was evaluated in MCF-7 ceils. The in vitro antitumor studies demonstrated the superior anti-proliferation activity of the liposomal Dox and HM with a combination index of 0.81, which indicated great synergistic effect and increased anti-proliferation efficiency. The experimental data suggested that combinational liposome therapy could be an effective way to develop efficient treatment of cancers.展开更多
