The results show that the mixed quark-gluon condensate will decrease when the quark mass increases. For the quark with zero mass, we obtain mo2 = g(qσuvGuvq)/(qq) 0.68 GeV2, which is in good agreement with the QCD sum rules estimate mo2=(0.8± 0.2) GeV2.展开更多

Plasma samples were deproteinated with 10% (v/v) perchloric acid. Separation was achieved on a UltimateTM AQ-C18 column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) with a mobile phase (pH 5.05) composed of acetonitrile-water (31:69, v/v, containing 0.002 M sodium dodecyl sulfate, 0.0125 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 0.015 M triethylamine) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The calibration curve was linear (r〉0.994) between 7.5 and 4000 ng/mL. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 7.5 ng/mL. The precision was validated and the relative standard deviation was in the range of 1.87% to 15.70%; the accuracy was between 93.98%-106.89%. The mean recoveries were 95.40% and 95.31% for metformin and IS, respectively. The relative error (RE) of stability at different storage conditions was within ±9.00%. This method was used to determine the concentration-time profile of metformin in diabetic rat plasma following an oral administration of metformin at the dose of 10 mg/kg. Our results indicated that ion-pair HPLC-UV method using UltimateTM AQ-C18 column was effective for the pharmacokinetic studies of high polarity compounds like metformin.展开更多

In this work, we have monitored and compared the diffusion dynamics of TGF-β type II receptor (TβRII) at high expression level using both traditional single-particle tracking (SPT) and sptPALM. The ligand-induced aggregation of TβRII oligomers was further indicated by sptPALM. Due to the capacity of distinguishing and tracking single molecules within diffraction limit, sptPALM outperforms traditional SPT by providing more accurate biophysical information,展开更多

We study a new model for dynamics of mono-polymer systems. Every polymer is regarded as a string of points which are moving randomly as Brownian motions and under elastic forces. Every two points on the same string or on two different strings also interact under a pairwise potential V. The dynamics of the system is described by a system of N coupled stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs). We show that the mean field limit as N -+ c~ of the system is a self-consistent McKean-Vlasov type equation, under suitable assumptions on the initial and boundary conditions and regularity of V. We also prove that both the SPDE system of the polymers and the mean field limit equation are well-posed.展开更多
