The method is based on the CL-emitting reaction between meloxicam and potassium permanganate in a hydrochloric acid medium, enhanced by formaldehyde (HCHO). Under optimum conditions, calibration curve over the range of 1.0-20.0μg/mL was obtained. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of meloxicam in capsules with no evi- dence of interference from common excipients. The detection limit of this method was 25.6 ng/mL. The relative standard deviation was 2.1% for 10.0 μg/mL meloxicam. The sample throughput was found to be 120 samples/h.展开更多

METHODS: We enrolled 15 symptomatic patients with a pathological esophageal 24-h pH-metry and bilimetry. Patients underwent endoscopy and biopsies were taken from the distal esophagus. Specimens were analyzed at histology and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Patients were treated with omeprazole 40 mg/d for 3 mo and then endoscopy with biopsies was repeated. Patients with persistent heartburn and/or with an incomplete recovery of DIS were treated for 3 more months and endoscopy with biopsies was performed. RESULTS: Nine patients had a non-erosive reflux disease at endoscopy (NERD) while 6 had erosive esophagitis (ERD). At histology, of the 6 patients with erosive esophagitis, 5 had mild esophagitis and 1 moderate esophagitis. No patients with NERD showed histological signs of esophagitis. After 3 mo of therapy, 13/15 patients (86.7%,P<0.01) showed a complete recovery of DIS and disappearance of heartburn. Of the 2 patients treated for 3 more months, complete recovery of DIS and heartburn were achieved in one. CONCLUSION: Three or 6 mo of omeprazole therapy led to a complete regression of the ultrastructural esophageal damage in 86.7% and in 93% of patients with DGER, NERD and ERD respectively. The ultrastructural recovery of the epithelium was accompanied by regression of heartburn in all cases.展开更多

Nowadays Fashion Films are reinforcing the power of fashion images, building up new brand experiences for net-consumers: they are painting new worlds for fashion brands thanks to the old cinematographic language mixed to recent Internet logics. Starting from this observation, our main question was: Can we talk about a new fashion net-aesthetics for these new fashion tales? Using a semiotics approach, this study investigates how Fashion, Cinema and the Net come together, producing new aesthetics, with new languages and new imaginary in fashion. The result can be really visionary.展开更多

While a large proportion of the native population resides on reservations that are self-managed and have few non-Indian residents, professional health services are mostly provided by clinicians from the dominant culture. The essay tries to highlight specific historical, sociological, and cultural variables the clinician must be aware of to work effectively in this setting. Particular emphasis is placed on using a flexible, eclectic approach, and a case vignette is included to illustrate the principle.展开更多

People have been studying it from the literary point of view or other disciplines, but not from the perspective of discourse analysis. This paper intends to make a tentative analysis of peculiar discourse strategies adopted by Faulkner in this novel from the discoursal point of view.展开更多
