We encountered two different cases of belatedly demonstrated pancreatic carcinoma featuring underlying chronic pancreatitis. The first case was one that was highly suspected as that of a malignancy based upon imaging study, but unfortunately, it could not be confirmed by intra-operative cytology at that time. Following this, the surgeon elected to perform only conservative bypass surgery for obstructive biliary complication. Peritoneal carcinomatosis was later noted and the patient finally died. The second case, a malignant mucinous neoplasm,was falsely diagnosed as a pseudocyst, based upon the lesion's sonographic appearance and associated elevated serum amylase levels. After suffering repeated hemoptysis,the patient was found to exhibit lung metastasis and peritoneal seeding. We reviewed some of the literature,including those studies discussing chronic pancreatitis predisposing to a malignant change. These two case analyses illustrate clearly that the diagnosis for such conditions, which is simply based upon imagery or pathological considerations may end up being one of a mistaken malignancy. Some of our suggestions for the treatment of such malignancies as revealed herein include,total pancreatomy for univocal mass lesion, and needle aspiration of lesion-contained tissue for amylase, CA199and CEA levels for a suspicious cystic pancreatic mass.展开更多

The fish balls were observed to be almost in temperature at -28℃ for air-blast freezer, at -100 ℃ in the liquid nitrogen and the standard house freezing were done at -18℃. The air-blast had the freezing rate of 11.82-20.84 cm h1 while those frozen by liquid nitrogen had the freezing rate of 13.36-22.38 cm/h and standard house freezer held lower freezing rate （7. ! 5-8.02 cm hl）. Texture profile analysis results showed that ubi badak＇s flour gel was harder, sticky, gummy and chewy than that of wheat and banana＇s flour gels. The proximate analysis revealed that wheat flour had higher protein and moisture content compared to banana and ubi badak flours.展开更多

The conclusions can be summarized into the following three points： （1） Kawagoe city in Saitama Prefecture was selected as the area targeted by this study. All types of data about Kawagoe city and tourists was collected and processed, and a tourist route model formulation method that considered spatial reproducibility using GIS was proposed, （2） 3-stage scenarios were created with the presence or absence of Kawagoe city tourist policies set as standards and this was used to develop tourist route models. It is POSsible to expect synergy in the encouragement of the use of sightseeing buses and the same traffic regulations as the traffic pilot program, and （3） It is considered that it is possible to apply the tourist route model formulation method proposed by this study to other tourist destinations without being limited by spatiotemporal differences or the particular issues of each tourist destinations as spatial reproducibility was confirmed.展开更多

The result showed that SPC has highly activity in degrading these organophosphous pesticides. The most efficient degradation of pesticides occurred under basic conditions and the degradation rates increased with time extension and high temperature. The degradation of organophosphorus pesticides was expected to get even better results at lower initial concentration. Furthermore, we analyzed the intermediate products by NMP, spectrometry. On the basis of the analytical result, the oxidative degradation mechanism was proposed for each organophosphous pesticide. It is significant to understand the environment chemistry of organophosphorus pesticides in environmental system.展开更多

However, in our previous work, when 0.5 mL of MoVNbTe catalyst prepared using slurry method was tested in the propane ammoxidation to ACN, it only shows 1% conversion of propane with about 55% selectivity to CAN, thus giving only 0.6% yields to ACN. The poor catalyst activity is attributed to insufficient formation of crystalline phases essential for the propane activation process. In an attempt to improve the physicochemical properties of this catalyst, several preparation methods have been used, namely hydrothermal, reflux, changing the solvent and changing the calcinations temperature. The modified catalysts have been characterized using X-Ray Diffraction （XRD） and N2 physisorption （BET）. The MoVNbTe catalyst prepared by hydrothermal method shows a remarkable improvement in the formation of crystalline phases.展开更多

DFP granules exhibited low total amounts of impurities when prepared through the wet granulation method using a granulating solvent with a low water/ethanol ratio. The impurities of the wet DFP mass dried at 70 ℃ were higher than those dried at 50 ℃ or 60 ℃. DFP granules were stable under strong light exposure during preparation. DFP granules prepared using a granulating solvent with a 1：4 water/ethanol ratio had a relatively smaller particle size and higher angle of repose than those prepared using granulating solvents with other water/ethanol ratios. The dissolution rate of DFP capsules prepared using four different water/ethanol ratios was less than 2% after 10 min of dissolution and increased to 95% within 30 min of dissolution. The total amount of drug impurities of DFP capsules prepared using a granulating solvent with 1：4 water/ethanol ratio was considerably lower than those of DFP capsules prepared using a granulating solvent with a 1：0 water/ethanol solvent ratio. Regardless of the water/ethanol ratio, the capsules showed poor stability when exposed to high temperature（60 ℃） and strong light（4500±500 Lux） for 10 days, but were relatively stable at high humidity（92.5% RH）. The results of the long-term stability（25±2 ℃ and 60%±10% relative humidity） study showed that DFP granules were more stable than DFP capsules, and were stable for 12 months. The type of encapsulating material did not affect the 2-month stability of DFP. DFP granules are sensitive to granulating solvent and drying temperature and DFP capsules should be stored away from high temperature and strong light.展开更多

It is therefore necessary to start from China＇s actual conditions and grasp the operating processes of Chinese boards with a sober appreciation of the irrational elements in their operating mechanisms. Board governance has entered a new stage of institutionalization, and the law should shift from its emphasis on structure to give equal attention to structure and process in optimizing institutional structure. In the construction of board operating mechanisms, we should treat differently such ＂living laws＂ as customs, experiences and traditions, give full play to the functionality of boards＇ strategic choices, and provide legal regulation of irrational elements, so as to distinguish between different roles, develop consensus, select strong points and improve efficiency. We should build control over board operational procedures, improve the system of functional allocation, correct assessment mechanisms, develop a mechanism for judicial scrutiny of the affective relationships in society and curb such behavioral tendencies as relational identity, structural bias and group polarization, with a view to controlling such ＂living laws＂ within the framework of the basic values and principles of board governance.展开更多
