The bench scale tests mainly focussed on separation of molybdenite from other sulfide minerals using the new type of depressants.The effect of each single depressant, including organic depressant-modified dextrin(MD), P-Nokes reagent(PN) and sodium trithiocarbonate(ST), and their mixtures on galena, chalcopyrite and other sulfide ores, was examined in turn by changing the concentrations used in cleaner flotation tests. Closed circuit experiments were carried out under the optimal condition and satisfying recovery and grade of molybdenite concentrate could be achieved(86.294% and 53.157%, respectively). A potential reagent regime was developed, with more environmental friendly and more economical advantages due to the introduction of modified dextrin.展开更多

Methods: Conversion to sirolimus (SRL) treatment was performed for 10 cases which had found malignant tumors after kidney transplantation. During the follow-up period, the recurrence and diffusion of the tumor, the renal function and rejection were monitored. Results: All these cases despite the death had been followed up for at least 1 year. 9 cases had no recurrence and diffusion. 1 case died due to the tumor diffusion 7 months after the drug conversion. 1 case suffered once acute rejection 2 months after the drug conversion. This acute rejection had been inhibited by flushing dose MP. Conclusion: As a new immunosuppressant, SRL not only can prevent the generation of AR, but inhibit proliferation and development of malignant tumors in kidney transplantation recipients as well.展开更多

Geodynamics of relief is defined by deep mantle movements. Mechanical-mathematical model of the lithosphere dynamics gives possibility to link the basin parameters with mantle diaper upwelling. Analysis of geophysical fields gives opportunity to evaluate the astenosphere upwelling, and the elaborated self-conjugated thermo-gravimetric model makes this evaluation reliable and trustworthy one.展开更多

Its pathophysiology mimics that of allergic esophagitis, and evolves clinically as a chronic disease with periods of exacerbation. Symptoms and endoscopic findings are usually non-specific and similar to those of other esophageal illnesses. The mainstay of treatment of Ee is with corticosteroids and/or specific diets, which have been shown to cause symptom remission and histological improvement. Aim: The objective of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy of a novel and promising treatment protocol for Ee. Materials and methods: We prospectively evaluated 24 patients with Ee over two years. Patients were treated with a single intramuscular injection of betamethasone sodium phosphate associated with betamethasone dipropionate and a PPI (proton pump inhibitor) (rabeprazole 20 mg PO). After 4 weeks of treatment, patients underwent endoscopy and biopsy. We evaluated patients' clinical response as well as the results of endoscopic and histological examinations. Results: After 4 weeks of treatment, all patients (100%) are reported significant clinical improvement, which was corroborated by the findings on endoscopy and histology. There were no complications or adverse reactions. Conclusions: In this cohort of patients with eosinophilic esophagitis, treatment with a single intramuscular dose of corticosteroids led to complete remission of symptoms and improvement in endoscopic and histological findings.展开更多
