Integral passive technology is a potentially attractive solution to replace discrete passives. Capacitors are widely used for broad ranging applications including filtering, tuning and power decoupling.

The experiments are carried out at different temperature in order to test the effect of variation of gap energy. When temperature varied, the lineshape of spectra changed, particular in the short wavelength part. The wavelength

Immunohistochemical staining was used to evaluate the expression of PTEN, VEGF and microvascular density (MVD) on paraffin-embedded sections in 70 patients with primary gastric cancer and 24 patients with chronic superficial gastritis (CSG). Expression of PTEN, VEGF and MVD were compared with clinicopathological features of gastric cancer. The relationship between expression of PTEN, VEGF and MVD as well as the relationship between PTEN and VEGF expression in cancer cells were investigated. PTEN expression significantly decreased (t = 3.98, P<0.01) whereas both VEGF expression and MVD significant increased (t = 4.29 and 4.41, respectively, both P<0.01) in gastric cancer group compared with CSG group. PTEN expression was significantly down-regulated (t = 1.95,P<0.05) whereas VEGF express...

Three hundred and sixteen patients submitted to operations associated with colorectostomy from January 2004 to September 2005 were randomized to two groups: In experimental group (n=161), the nasogastric tube was removed after the operation from 12 to 24 h and was promised immediately oral feeding; In control group (n=155), the nasogastric tube was maintained until the passage of flatus per rectum. Variables assessed included the time to first passage of flatus, the time to first passage of stool, the time elapsed postoperative stay, and postoperative complications such as anastomotic leakage, acute dilation of stomach, wound infection and dehiscense, fever, pulmonary infection and pharyngolaryngitis. The median and average days to the first passage of flatus (3.0+/-0.9 vs 3.6+/-1.2, P<0.001), the f...

In this research, a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) method was developed and validated for the metabolic profiling of RPS intervention in H22 hepatocarcinoma mice. Data were analyzed with partial least-squares discrimination analysis (PLS-DA). As a result, RPS displayed different pathway to decrease energy production of the mice. For the normal mice, RPS significantly decreased the concentration of lipid, glycerate, succinate and lactate, but increased glucose and valine levels. All these indicated that RPS inhibited glucose and valine to transform ketones which participated in the ATP production. For the H22 cancer mice, RPS increased the concentration of lipid and glycerate, but significantly decreased glucose, glycine and alanine levels in the serum. This phenomenon indicated that RPS inhibited the oxidation of fatty acid...

Through analysis and numerical simulation, great progress has been made in the improvement of stability of mean photon number and variance of micromasers.

There were 102 extracted mandibular second molars with fused roots collected from a native Chinese population. The teeth were scanned by microCT and reconstructed by 3-D software. The 98 teeth that possessed a C-shaped canal system were further analyzed. The 3-D reconstructed images of canals were classified into three categories: merging type (type I), symmetrical type (type II), and asymmetrical type (type III). The cross-sectional images of each tooth were submitted to computer analysis, and the minimum canal wall thickness was measured. In these 98 molars, 32 (32.65%) teeth showed a merging type appearance, 38 (38.78%) a symmetrical type and 28 (28.57%) an asymmetrical type. The minimum canal wall thickness in type I was thicker than that in type II or type III in the apical and middle portion (p < 0.05...
