A STUDY ON THE STRUCTURAL EFFECT OF DOUBLE BRIDGES CONJUGATED SYSTEMS I.CARBONYL-IMINO SYSTEM

The struetural effect of the conjugative system(C)with carbonyl-imino bridges has been studied.The results show that:In the conjugated system(C),there is no electronic absorption peak attributable to the whole system,but there are three π-π* bands each nt which displays chacactecistics of its own independently.These indicate that the two bridges-carbonyl-and-imino-can block the tlanSmlSSion of the conjngative polarization of the whole system,so as to form three segments,this is verified by means of chemical synthesis and degradation.

Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Bathing with Chinese Medicine Taohong Siwu Decoction(桃红四物汤) for Treatment of Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis:A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial

Objective：To examine the efficacy and safety of bathing therapy with Taohong Siwu Decoction（桃红四物汤,TSD） in the treatment of early-stage,mild-moderate diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis（dc SSc）.Methods：This randomized,placebo-controlled trial enrolled 148 men and women（18–60 years） with dc SSc（disease duration 12 months） and baseline modified Rodnan skin score（MRSS） 10.Patients were randomized into a TSD group（71 cases bathing with TSD plus oral prednisone） or control group（71 cases bathing with placebo plus oral prednisone）.Bathing（40 ℃,30 min） of the upper and lower limbs was carried out once daily for 12 consecutive weeks.The primary outcome measure was MRSS;secondary outcomes were Raynaud＇s phenomenon（RP） score,quality of life（QOL）,physician visual analogue scale（VAS）,patient VAS,percent predicted diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide（DLCO）,percent predicted forced vital capacity（FVC）,erythrocyte sedimentation rate（ESR）,C-reactive protein（CRP） level and overall treatment effect.Results：The final analysis included 135 patients（control group,68 cases;TSD group,67 cases）.Primary and secondary outcome measures after 2 weeks of treatment showed no improvement（versus baseline） in both groups,with no differences between groups.At 12 weeks,QOL,physician VAS,patient VAS,ESR and CRP were improved in both groups,but MRSS and RP score were improved only in the TSD group（all P〈0.05）.MRSS,RP score,QOL,physician VAS,patient VAS,ESR and CRP differed significantly between groups（all P〈0.05）.Meanwhile,the overall treatment effect was significantly higher in the TSD group than in the control group（P〈0.05）.Adverse events in the two groups were similar（P〉0.05）.Conclusions：Bathing with TSD plus oral prednisone achieves better outcomes than oral prednisone alone in patients with dcS Sc and is not associated with serious adverse events.

Nonlinear polarization effects and mitigation in polarization-division-multiplexed coherent transmission systems

Using numerical simulations, the nonlinear transmission performance of polarization-division-multiplexed quadrature-phase-shift-keying （PDM-QPSK） coherent systems is studied. It is found that inter-channel cross-polarization modulation （XPolM） induced nonlinear polarization scattering can significantly degrade the transmission performance of PDM-QPSK coherent systems and change the perspective of dispersion management in optical coherent transmission systems. Some techniques to mitigate nonlinear polarization scattering in dispersion-managed PDM coherent transmission systems are discussed, including the use of time-interleaved return-to-zero （RZ） PDM formats, the use of periodic-group-delay PGD dispersion compensators, and the judicious addition of some polarization-mode-dispersion （PMD） in the transmission link. It is shown that if nonlinear polarization scattering can be well mitigated, a polarization multiplexed optical coherent transmission system with dispersion management could perform better than that without it.

Multipartite entanglement generation with dipole induced transparency effect in indirectly coupled dipole-microcavity systems

We propose a feasible scheme of generating multipartite entanglement with the dipole induced transparency （D/T） effect in indirectly coupled dipole-microcavity systems. It is shown that the transmission spectrum is closely related with the interference of dipole-microcavity systems, and we can generate different classes of multi- partite entanglement, e.g., the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state, the W state, and the Dicke state, of the di- pole emitters just by choosing an appropriate frequency of the incident photon. Benefiting from the DIT effect, the schemes may work in the bad or low-Q cavity regime only if the large Purcell factor of the dipole-microcavity system is fulfilled, and they are also insensitive to experimental noise, which may be feasible with present acces- sible technology.

Effect of tensor correlations on the depletion of nuclear Fermi sea within the extended BHF approach

We have investigated the effect of tensor correlations on the depletion of the nuclear Fermi sea in symmetric nuclear matter within the framework of the extended Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach by adopting the AV 18 two-body interaction and a microscopic three-body force.The contributions from various partial wave channels including the isospin-singlet T = 0 channel,the isospin-triplet T = 1 channel and the T = 0 tensor 3SD1 channel have been calculated.The T =0 neutron-proton correlations play a dominant role in causing the depletion of nuclear Fermi sea.The T =0 correlation-induced depletion turns out to stem almost completely from the 3SD1 tensor channel.The isospin-singlet T = 0 3SD1 tensor correlations are shown to be responsible for most of the depletion,which amounts to more than 70 percent of the total depletion in the density region considered.The three-body force turns out to lead to an enhancement of the depletion at high densities well above the empirical saturation density and its effect increases as a function of density.

STRUCTURAL EFFECT IN FORKED CONJUGATIVE SYSTEMS——BIFURCATION-TYPE OF FORKED POLYENIC NITRILES,CARBOXYLIC ACIDS AND ESTERS

Five homologous series of bifurcate systems of aliphatic and aromatic polyenic cyano andcarboxylic compounds have been prepared and studied. The electronic absorption spectra forthe series and the NMR chemical shifts for the methyl-, methylene- and beta-protons havebeen found to conform very well to the rule of homologous linearity. The mass spectra forthe α-cyano polyenic ester series show strong peaks for the fragments of M-COOEt but noneof M-CN, indicating that the CN group seems to be in stronger conjugation with the poly-enic chain than the COOEt group does. In all the forked series studided, a red shift in electronic spectra is brought about upon theintroduction of an electron-attractive branching group, just like the case of introducing anelectron-repelling substituent. This has been taken as an indication of the predominance of themolecular integrality over the group characteristics. By means of the method of similar triangles between a homologous line for a linearseries and that for the
