The dihydrogen phosphate ion was treated as a seven-site model and the ammonium ion was regarded as a five-site model, while a simple-point-charge model for water molecule. An unusually local particle number density fluctuation was observed in the system at saturation temperature. It can be found that the potential energy increases slowly with the temperature from 373 K to 404 K, which indicates that the ammonium dihydrogen phosphate has partly decomposed. The radial distribution function between the hydrogen atom of ammonium cation and the oxygen atom of dihydrogen phosphate ion at three different temperatures shows obvious difference, which indicates that the average H-bond number changes obviously with the temperature. The temperature has an influence on the combination between hydrogen atoms and phosphorus atoms of dihydrogen phosphate ion and there are much more growth units at saturated solutions.展开更多

The water molecule was treated as a simple-point-charge model, while a seven-site model for the dihydrogen phosphate ion was adopted. The internal energy functions and the radial distribution functions of the solution were studied in detail. An unusually large local particle number density fluctuation was observed in the system at saturation temperature. It has been found that the specific heat of oversaturated solution is higher than that of unsaturated solution, which indicates the solution experiences a crystallization process below saturation temperature. The radial distribution function between the oxygen atom of water and the hydrogen atom of the dihydrogen phosphate ion shows a very strong hydrogen bond structure. There are strong interactions between potassium cation and oxygen atom of dihydrogen phosphate ion in KDP solution, and much more ion pairs were formed in saturated solution.展开更多

The effi cacies of both laxatives were compared using the mean difference of colon-cleanliness score of the rectum, sigmoid segments, descending colon, transverse colon and cecum. The scores were rated by two observers who were blinded to the laxatives administered. The higher score means that the colon is cleaner. The efficacy of both laxatives were equivalent if the 95% confidence interval of the mean difference of the score of colon lie within -1 to +1. RESULTS: On intention-to-treat analysis, the mean cleanliness scores in the four segments of colon except the cecum were higher in the sodium phosphate group than those in senna group (7.9 ± 1.7 vs 8.3 ± 1.5, 8.0 ± 1.8 vs 8.5 ± 1.4, 7.9 ± 2.0 vs 8.5 ± 1.3, 7.9 ± 2.0 vs 8.2 ± 1.4 and 7.2 ± 1.7 vs 6.9 ± 1.4, respectively). The 95% conf idence intervals (95% CI) of mean difference in each segment of colon were not found to lie within 1 point which indicated that their effi cacies were not equivalent. The taste of senna was better than sodium phosphate solution. Also, senna had fewer side effects. CONCLUSION: The effi cacy of senna is not equivalentto sodium phosphate solution in bowel preparation for colonoscopy, but senna may be considered an alternative laxative.展开更多

PEG-P could be obtained from a reaction among polyethylene glycol 300, phosphorus pentoxide, and pyrophosphoric acid. The PEG-P prepared was stable in an aqueous condition. A transparent solution and gel were obtained when the PEG-P was used as a source of P during the PC method, whereas the use of H3PO4 caused an undesirable precipitate. The LiCaPO4:Eu2+ obtained via the PC method employing the PEG-P showed higher emission intensity than those synthesized by a solid state reaction method and the PC method employing H3PO4. The high luminescence properties of the sample synthesized using the PEG-P may be attributed to high homogeneity of constituents in the sample.展开更多
