The drug concentration-time curve for target organ can be plotted with reference to the data of drug concentration in blood according to the model. The pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug in target organ could also be obtained. The practicability of the model was further checked by the curves of drug concentration-time in blood and target organ(liver) of liver-targeting nanoparticles in animal tests. Based on the liver drug concentration-time curves calculated by the function formula of the drug in target organ, the pharmacokinetic behavior of the drug in target organ(liver) was analyzed by statistical moment, and its pharmacokinetic parameters in liver were obtained. It is suggested that the (relative targeting index( can be used for quantitative evaluation of the targeting drug delivery systems.展开更多

Coronary blood flow velocity (CBFV)was evaluated at rest.2 minutes after dipyridamole (0. 56mg/kg. i. v.) . and 2 minutes after aminophylline i.v. The ratio of dipyridamole to rest maximal diastolic velocity (D/R PDV) was considered the index of coronary blood flow reserve.It was found that D/R PDV was significantly less in groups C and D compared with that in groups A and B (D PDC,1.84±0. 57. 1. 57±0. 41 versus 2.59±0.70 and 2.22+0.58,respectively),with no difference in D/R PDV between groups C and D.Twenty-four out of 32 patients in group C with D/R PDV were less than 2.0 compared to 29 out of 33 patients in group D (P>0.05).Significant negative correlation was found between D/R PDV. D/R PSV and interseptal thickness. left ventricular mass index in hypertensive patients.These data show that impaired CFR in hypertensive patients with LVH is comparable to that in patients with coronary heart disease.展开更多

Purpose of project is to set up procedure to determine Rn-220 concentration which has been carried out in laboratory using Solid State Nuclear Track Detector (SSNTD) based passive detector technique. In this study, technical procedure has been applied in Karlsruhe diffusion chamber and LR-115, Type II strippable (Kodak Pathe, France) detector. The results have investigated how LR-115 work for Rn-220 by using Monazite ore to simultaneously measure Rn-222 and Rn-220. To carry out experiment, Karlsruhe diffusion chamber is used to with and without Poly-Ethylene (PE) membrane. Karlsruhe diffusion chamber with PE membrane only detect Rn-222, without PE membrane detect total Rn-222 and Rn-220. Precision evaluation by duplicate measure at 8 cm detector-source distance with relative standard deviation is less than 2.54%. Testing technical procedure, detectors have been sent to National Institute of Radiological Science (NIRS) for Rn-220 calibration exposure. After detectors have been calibration exposure at NIRS, it carried out all the following steps of procedure which set up at laboratory in 1NST, Vietnam. Finally, calibration factor calculated is 0.21 (tracks-cm2/Bq·m3·h) and constructed curve between integrated Tn-220 concentration and tracks density with factor R2 = 0.975.展开更多

The faculty from the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry devised a scheme for the identification and segregation of the chemical wastes and created a system for proper disposal of future chemical wastes. There were a total of 1,142 of accumulated chemical waste bottles, 804 of which were subjected to identification and segregation procedures. The wastes were preliminarily tested for its solubility/miscibility in water and acidity or basicity. The identification was done by qualitative tests for cyanide, sulfide, halogenated, non-halogenated, oxidizing, nitro, and heavy metal compounds. The final segregation was based on the presence of the most hazardous component or on pH and water-miscibility. The Department then developed and implemented a scheme for the proper disposal of the chemical wastes generated in laboratory experiments done in the College. Laboratory experiments were also modified to use less toxic and less amounts of chemicals.展开更多

However, there is no available systematic knowledge about the effect of alloy thickness under mixed-mode loading at elevated temperatures. In the present study, a newly developed fracture experimental technique based on high-temperature moiré interferometry was employed to investigate experimentally I-II mixed-mode fracture in titanium alloy TC11 of various thicknesses at room and elevated temperatures. Compact shear specimens with thickness ranging from 1.8 to 7.1 mm were tested. The effects of temperature, thickness, and loading angle on the load capacity and crack initiation angle were investigated systematically. The TC11 alloy was shown to possess varied fracture performance at elevated tem-perature, and an opposite thickness effect at room temperature. Increasing temperature would enhance the fracture load capacity of thick specimens but reduce the fracture load capacity of thin specimens. Crack initiation angles under I-II mixed-mode loading showed the thickness-temperature coupling effects. These complex effects call for new development in three-dimensional mixed-mode fracture theory and technologies for damage tolerance assessment.展开更多

Herein, we report bright red-emissive organic phosphorescent nanoparticles(PNPs) based on a metal-free organic phosphor encapsulated with biocompatible block copolymers. The obtained PNPs with an ultra-small particle size of around 5 nm and a long emission lifetime of up to 167 μs showed effective 1O2 generation ability under visible light(410 nm) excitation in aqueous media, which can efficiently eradicate multi-drug resistant bacteria both in vitro and in vivo. This is the first demonstration of metal-free organic PNPs for photodynamic antimicrobial therapy, expanding the application scope of metal-free organic room temperature phosphorescent materials.展开更多
