Multivariate Analysis of Recurrence in Meningioma

Objective: To evaluate the clinical and radiological factors that affect therecurrence of the meningioma patient so as to effectively prevent and cure recurrence of meningiomapatients more earlier. Methods: The clinical features and radiological aspects in 145 cases ofmeningiomas undergoing operation during 1993-1997 were retrospectively studied. The data of only 83cases of all 145 cases were available. The factors were evaluated with univariate and multivariateanalysis. Results: With univariate analysis, 7 factors showed highly significance to recurrence ofmeningiomas: tumor size, tumor location, tumor shape, edema, extent of resection, pathologicalgrade, CT enhancement. With multivariate analysis, 4 factors showed significant danger to recurrenceof meningiomas: pathological grade, extent of resection, tumor shape and CT enhancement.Conclusion: The main factors that affect the recurrence of meningioma patients are pathologicalgrade, extent of resection, tumor shape and CT enhancement.

Distribution of Polychaete Assemblage in Relation to Natural Environmental Variation and Anthropogenic Stress

Polychaete are diverse species of the soft-bottom community, and are often used as indicators in environment monitoring programs. However, the effects of anthropogenic activities and natural environmental variation on polychaete assemblage are rarely addressed. The goals of this study are to identify the effects of natural environmental variation and anthropogenic stress on poly- chaete assemblage, and to explore the relationship between the polychaete assemblage structure and anthropogenic stress without considering the natural environmental variation. Based on the data collected from the surveys conducted in the tidal fiat of Jiaozhou Bay, the relationship between polychaete assemblage structure and environmental variables was determined using multivariate statis- tical methods including hierarchical cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling （MDS） and canonical correspondence analysis （CCA）. The results showed that the polychaete assemblage was dominated by two species, Amphictenejaponica and Heteromastusfiliformis, and could be divided into two subgroups characterized by high and low species abundance. CCA illustrated that the natural environ- mental variables including water temperature and the distance from coast had primary effects on the polychaete assemblage structure; while stress of contaminants, such as As and Hg, had the secondary influences; and stress from the aquacultured species, mainly Ruditapes philippinarum, had a limited effect. Colinearity between the natural environmental variables and anthropogenic stress variables caused a critical divergence in the interpretation of CCA results, which highlighted the risk of a lack of information in en- vironment assessment. Glycinde gurjanovae, Sternaspis scutata and Eulalia bilineata may serve as the ＇contamination indicators＇, which need to be confirmed in future studies.

The Effect of Vanadium Content on Mechanical Properties and Structure of Self-Hardening Steel X 160C rMo 12-1

The aim of this research was to examine the influence of vanadium on the structure, hardness and tensile strength of X I60CrMo 12-1 self-hardened steels. It is known that vanadium affects the process of solidification of this alloy in a way that narrows temperature interval of crystallization. Vanadium, as an alloying element, moves liquidus and solidus lines toward higher temperatures, approximately for 25 to 30 ~C. In addition, vanadium forms V6C5 carbides, which, are partly distributed between present phases in the steel; carbide （Cr,Fe）7C3 and austenite. The presence of vanadium enables the formation of （Cr, Fe）23C6 carbide and its precipitation into austenite during the cooling process. In local areas around fine carbide particles, austenite is transformed into martensite, i.e., vanadium reduces remained austenite and improves steel air-hardening. Vanadium concentration over 2.5% significantly improves the impact toughness. The basic problem in the application of high alloyed Cr-Mo steels is to increase their impact toughness and thereby sustain a relatively high value of hardness. Recent studies, concerning to the chemical composition and heat treatment regime, show that it is possible to get a martensitic structure with a very small amount of retained austenite. Investigations are directed toward the testing of the influence of alloying elements such as molybdenum, manganese and especially vanadium. Vanadium has great influence to the crystallization process. With increasing of its content, the eutectic point moves toward lower carbon concentrations and the temperature interval of solidification is narrowing.

A half-century of radioisotope neutron sources in China

Near 50 years history of the development of radioisotope neutron sources in China is briefly reviewed.The structure design,preparing technology and production status of routine neutron sources including 210Po-Be sources,210Po mock fission sources,241Am-Be sources,238Pu-Be sources,252Cf spontaneous fission sources and other special-shape neutron sources are summarized.In addition,the prospects of development on radioisotope neutron source in China are predicted from the needs of nuclear power construction,oil well-logging,neutron moisture gauge and neutron brachytherapy.

Stability of proteins with multi-state unfolding behavior

A new model used to calculate the free energy change of protein unfolding is presented. In this model, proteins are considered to be composed of structural elements. The unfolding of a structural element obeys a two-state mechanism and the free energy change of the element can be obtained by a linear extrapolation method. If a protein consists of the same structural elements, its unfolding will displays a two-state process, and only the average structural element free energy change 〈△G0 element（H2O）〉 can be measured. If protein consists of completely different structural elements, its unfolding will show a multi-state behavior. When a protein consists of n structural elements its unfolding will shows a （n＋1）-state behavior. A least-squares fitting can be used to analyze the contribution of each structural element to the protein and the free energy change of each structural element can be obtained by using linear extrapolation to zero denaturant concentration, not to the start of each transition. The measured △Gn protein（H2O） is the sum of the free energy change for each structural element. Using this new model, we can not only analyze the stability of various proteins with similar structure and similar molecular weight, which undergo multi-state unfolding processes, but also compare the stability of proteins with different structures and molecular weights using the average structural element free energy change 〈△G0 element（H2O）〉. Although this method cannot completely provide the exact free energy of proteins, it is better than current methods.

Causes of Lake Area Changes in Poland

The northern part of Poland is occupied by numerous lakes formed during the last glaciation as a result of the Scandinavian ice sheet. Studies carried out in the lake district areas show progressive reduction of the surface area of the lakes, which leads to their eventual disappearance. The paper discusses the degree of the observed changes and points out main natural and anthropogenic factors influencing changes of lake area in Poland, including climate change, depth of lake basins, biomass growth, deforestation, hydrotechnical works, use of fertilizers and discharge of wastewater.
