Methods: BALB/c nude mice were collected as experimental animal and were randomly divided into model control group(Group A), tail intravenous injection of cisplatin group(Group B), intratumor injection of cisplatin group(Group C) and cisplatin implants treatment group(Group D). After the drugs intervening, the weight and volume of transplantation tumors were measured on Day 20, Day 30 and Day 40 and serum and KLK7 and E-cad contents in transplanted tumor tissue were examined. Results: On Day 20, Day 30 and Day 40 after treatment, the weight and volume of transplantation tumors of tumorbearing mice in four groups were different(Group A > Group B > Group C > Group D). The contents of KLK-7 and E-cad in tumor tissue and serum of tumor-bearing mice in four groups were different(Group A > Group B > Group C > Group D in KLK-7) and(Group A < Group B < Group C < Group D in E-cad). The weight and volume, and KLK7 and E-cad contents of transplantation tumors in four groups were significant difference(P<0.05). Conclusion: Cisplatin implants can inhibit the growth of transplanted tumor tissue and down-regulated KLK7 expression and up-regulated E-cad expression of tumor-bearing mice with gastric展开更多

The energy and dose of N^+ ions were in the rang 15~35 keV and 3. 8×10^15~9. 6×10^16 ions/cm^2, respectively. The conductivity of PMOMBOPV film was enhanced remarkably with the increases of the energy and dose of N^+ ions. For example, the conductivity of PMOMBOPV film was 3. 2×10^-2S/cm when ion implantation was performed with an energy of 35 keV at a dose of 9. 6 × 10^14 ions/cm^2 , which was almost seven orders of magnitude higher than that of film unimplanted. The environmental stability of conductive behavior for ionimplanted film was much better than that of chemical doped films. Moreover, the conductive activation energy of ion-implanted films was measured to be about 0.17 eV.展开更多

The variation of retrotransposon WIS 2-1A activity in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) embryos at three different growth times (30 h, 45 h and 60 h) was investigated after they had been treated with N^+ implantation in a vacuum of 5× 10^-2 Pa and irradiation by ^60Coγ-ray respectively. For each of the three growth times the expression of WIS 2-1A showed almost entirely a same trend of downregulation, upregulation, then downregulation, and upregulation again with the increase in dose of N^+ implantation, but the expression appeared irregular with the increase in irradiation of ^60Coγ-ray. In conclusion, the acutely activating effect of WIS 2-1A stimulated by vacuum and high dose N^+ implantation within a shorter incubation time may provide a convenient tool to advance the research on mutagenic breeding and function genes.展开更多

However, an important question has been raised that how to select appropriate patients for ICD therapy. 1-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) planar and SPECT imaging have shown great potentials to predict ventricular arrhythmia in heart failure patients by as- sessing the abnormalities of the sympathetic nervous system. Clinical trials demonstrated that several parameters measured from 1-123 MIBG planar and SPECT imaging, such as heart-to-mediastinum ratio, washout rate, defect score, and innervation/perfusion mismatch, predicted ventricular arrhythmias in heart failure patients. This paper introduces the current practice of ICD therapy and reviews the technical background of 1-123 MIBG planar and SPECT imaging and their clinical data in predicting ventricular arrhythmia.展开更多

Low energy ion beam implantation is a new tool for breeding excellent mutant strains. In this study, the ion beam implantation experiments were performed by infusing two different ions: argon ion (Ar^+) and nitrogen ion (N^+). The results showed that the optimal ion implantation was N^+ with an optimum dose of 2.08- 1015 ions/cm^2, with which the mutant strain AF-ANm16 that produced no red pigment was obtained. The strain had high genetic stability and kept the strong capacity of C11α-hydroxylgenation, which could be utilized in industrial fermentation. The differences between the original strain and the mutant strain at a molecular level were analyzed by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). The results indicated that the frequency of variation was 7.00%, which would establish the basis of application investigation into the breeding of pigment mutant strains by low energy ion implantation.展开更多

The energy shift of PL peak depends on ion species, ion dose, annealing conditions and target temperature. The results indicate that the nonactive ions such as F+ and Ne+ are the best candidates for IICD, the ion dose which caused biggest blue shift is around 1 × 10 14 cm-2 for room temperature implantation and 5 × 10 14 cm-2 for an elevated implanted temperature of 200 ℃ and the optimum annealing condition is approximately 750 ℃ for 30 s. AES and TEM characterization suggests that ion bombardment by nonelectrically active ions such as F+, Ne+ induced same amount of layer interdiffusion which results in the band gap blue shift due to the compositional changes.展开更多
