In the in vivo study,pregnant rats ingested ad libitum fluorinated drinking water (5, 15, 50 ppm F ) during their gestation and lactation. It was shown that the AChE activities of the SPM and peripheral RBCs in maternal rats exposed 5 ~ 50 ppm F for 60 days were elevated significantly by 30. 0 ~ 67. 6 % and 12. 5 ~ 31. 9 % in a dose-dependent manner, respectively. The AChE activities of their offspring 80 days after birth were also increaased (8. 7 ~ 28. 7 % for SPM and20. 6 ~ 32. 4 % for RBC). In contrast, the AChE activities of SPM in vitro were inhibited by 5. 0~ 50 .0 mmol F /L treatment in a time-and dose dependent manner. Analaysis with the Hanes plots suggested that the enzymesubstrate kinetics are consistent with a mixed type ofinhibition.展开更多

The calculated results agree with practice and obey the mass action law, showing that the models formulated can reflect the structural characteristics of both melts. Meanwhile, it confirms that annexation principle is applicable to the Ag-Bi-In metallic melts. The melts involving eulectic which give rise to phase separation, and in which activities exhibit positive deviation from Raoult's law is the basic cause of melts transforming from homogeneous to heterogeneous ones.展开更多
