Abstract
Uniaxially aligned CoFe2 O4 nanorods are obtained by coprecipitation of Co2+ , Fe2+ , and C2 O4 2- ions in a microemulsion solution, and subsequent high-temperature decomposition of CoFe2 (C2 O4 )3 . Each nanorod is made up of a "tectonic" assembly of CoFe2 O4 nanocrystals. Magnetization of such CoFe2 O4 materials may lead to their use in high-density magnetic recording media and high-performance electromagnetic and spintronic devices.

Abstract
The main regulatory mechanism of smooth muscle contraction involves Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent phosphorylation of myosin (CDPM), by myosin light chain kinase (MLCK). It is also known that the increase in intracellular Ca2+ and phosphorylation of myosin occurs within a short time under physiological conditions, but the muscle tension may persist for a longer period of time. However, the mechanism of this phenomenon is still not clear. We hypothesize that MLCK also phosphorylates myosin in a Ca2+/CaM-independent manner (CIPM). The difference between CIPM and CDPM are as follows. Firstly, the extent of CIPM by MLCK was temperature-independent, whereas CDPM by MLCK was apparently decreasing with increasing temperature. Secondly, in contrast to the decreased extent of CDPM, the prolongation of incubation time did not decrease the extent of CIPM. Thirdly, a high concentration of K+ influences CIPM less than CDPM. Furthermore, the MLCK inhibitor ML-9 significantly inhibited CDPM by MLCK but not CIPM by MLCK. Lastly, arachidonic acid selectively increased CIPM by MLCK but not CDPM by MLCK. Finally, the activity of Mg2+-ATPase of myosin followed the sequence as this: CDPM>CIPM>unphosphorylated myosin. Our results revealed some primary features of CIPM by MLCK.

Abstract
A novel pH- and temperature-responsive water-soluble [60]fullerene-containing poly[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (C60-b-PDMAEMA) was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization. The pH and temperature dependence of the physical properties of the aqueous C60-b-PDMAEMA solution was studied by potentiometric and conductometric titrations, UV-vis transmittance, and laser light scattering techniques. At low pH and at temperatures ranging from 25 to 55 degrees C, in addition to C60-b-PDMAEMA unimers, micelle-like aggregates are produced in the aqueous solution containing C60 hydrophobic cores and protonated PDMAEMA shells. Only unimeric C60-b-PDMAEMAs are found to exist in solution at high pH and low temperature, where PDMAEMA segments form a charge-transfer complex with C60 molecules. However, C60-b-PDMAEMA precipitates from aqueous solution at temperatures exceeding the lower critical solution temperature of PDMAEMA of approximately 45 degrees C. The pH and temperature stimuli-responsive properties of the [60]fullerene-containing polymer in aqueous solution are completely reversible.

Abstract
Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a sensitive research tool for examining the binding interactions between surfactant and polymer where the differential enthalpy during the binding process is monitored. In addition to the critical micelle concentration (cmc) and the micellization enthalpy (deltaHm), the effective micellar charge fraction (beta) of the ionic surfactant micellization process can also be determined from ITC thermograms. Poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) exhibits a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) ranging from 15 to 42 degrees C, depending on the molecular weights. We report, for the first time, the binding interactions between sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and 1,000, 2,000 and 3,000 Da PPGs, where different binding mechanisms are in operation, depending on the temperature. At temperatures lower than the LCST, the binding interactions are similar to those of SDS and low molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol)s (MW < 3500 Da). At temperatures greater than the LCST, the binding interactions are dominated by direct solubilization of PPG chains into mixed micellar cores. At temperatures near the LCST, the binding interactions are controlled by the balance ofthe PPG solubilization at low SDS concentrations and polymer-induced micellization at high SDS concentrations.

Abstract
A surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate containing silver particles was prepared by an acid-catalyzed sol-gel method. Silver nitrate was first doped into the sol-gel film followed by chemical reduction of the silver ions with sodium borohydride to produce silver particles. This silver-doped sol-gel substrate exhibits strong enhancement of Raman scattering from adsorbed uranyl ions with a detection limit of 8.5 x 10(-8) M, which is comparable to existing methods of uranyl detection such as spectrophotometry, fluorometry, and a SERS method based on ligand-modified solution silver colloids. However, in the present method, no preconcentration steps, chromogens, or complexing ligands are needed. Compared with the SERS method using Ag colloidal sols, the silver-doped sol-gel film has the advantage that the silver particles trapped in the sol-gel matrix are much more stable than Ag colloids in liquid media. Furthermore, porous silica sol-gel materials are known to have affinities toward many inorganic and organic molecules. The enhanced adsorption affinities could also lead to the increased SERS sensitivity. The performance of the new silver-doped sol-gel substrate was evaluated with uranyl ions and compared to that of a SERS substrate based on silver-coated silica beads prepared by vacuum deposition. The detection limit for the silver-doped sol-gel film was 104 times lower than that for the silver-coated silica beads. The sol-gel substrate was further used to obtain, for the first time, the surface-enhanced Raman spectrum of neptunyl ions in dilute aqueous solutions.

Abstract
The variable subunit of spinach ferredoxin:thioredoxin reductase (FTR) has an extended N-terminus compared to FTRs from other sources and this was proposed to contribute to the instability of the protein. We constructed two N-terminal truncation mutants of recombinant FTR by removing 16 or 24 residues from the variable subunit. The mutant proteins are readily expressed and show half-saturation values (S(0.5)) for ferredoxin and thioredoxin f comparable to WT. However, truncation increases significantly their stability. Using the stabilized FTR an exposed Cys on its thioredoxin contact surface could be substituted without altering its properties, whereas the replacement of an active site Cys by Ser completely destabilized the protein.

Abstract
IgA is the predominant immunoglobulin class synthesized in humans and can be subdivided into two subclasses, IgA1 and IgA2, each encoded by a separate gene and differentially expressed depending on age and anatomical localization of the producing cells. Duplication of the alpha1 gene is frequently observed in selected populations. As this duplication may serve to enhance IgA-mediated immunity, we determined its effect on switching and production of IgA in human B cells. We developed a nested PCR strategy, involving sequencing the switch (S) alpha2 region, the only human S region not sequenced to date, to assess the proportion of cells switching to IgA1 and IgA2 in vivo. Our results show that there is no difference in the serum and salivary levels of IgA1 and IgA or rate of switching to IgA1 and IgA between normal donors and individuals carrying alpha1 gene duplications, suggesting involvement of a regulatory step in the production of IgA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether within-individual variation is a factor in the generally reported poor tracking of central body fat distribution (CBFD) during development and whether two measurements of CBFD during each measurement occasion would improve the estimate of tracking over time. METHODS A longitudinal study compared the results of two measurements of body fat (BF) and CBFD during each measurement occasion to the results of one measurement of BF and CBFD during each occasion every 4 months over 1-3 y. A total of 345 boys and 333 girls in three age cohorts of 8, 11 and 14 y at baseline were examined. BF variables were: body mass index (BMI); fat mass and percentage body fat from bioelectrical impedance; two skinfold sums; and abdominal circumference. CBFD variables were: waist/hip and waist/thigh ratios; conicity; and log upper-lower skinfold ratio. RESULTS Three-year tracking of BF varied from 0.79 to 0.90 for one- and from 0.81 to 0.93 for two-occasion measurements showing no apparent sex- or cohort-effects. Three-year tracking of CBFD was lower than that of BF (0.68-0.75), but improved significantly with two-occasion measurements (0.75-0.82). CONCLUSIONS Within-individual variation is a significant factor in reported low tracking of CBFD in childhood. Estimates of tracking currently in the literature may underestimate the predictive value of CBFD, possibly because this research has used one-occasion measurement. The increased use of two-occasion measurement should significantly improve the tracking of CBFD during development and provide a more realistic understanding of its predictive value.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the cellular immunological effect of mogrosides in mice. METHODS Mogrosides was administered to normal or CTX-induced immunosuppressive mice, and their macrophage function and T lymphocyte proliferation were detected. RESULTS Mogrosides could promote phagocytosis and T lymphocyte proliferation significantly in the CTX-induced immunosuppressive mice, but not in the normal mice. CONCLUSION The results suggested that mogrosides had certain up-regulation on cellular immunity in the CTX-induced immunosuppressive mice.

The removal ratios of TOC reached about 50% in anaerobic phase and about 70% in aerobic phase respectively, while volume loading rate of TOC was about 1.2 kg/(m3.d) in anaerobic phase and about 0.6 kg/(m3.d) in aerobic phase. Removal of TOC in anaerobic phase was attributed to the reduction of sulfate.

Abstract
A unique nanoporous sol-gel glass possessing a highly ordered porous structure (with a pore size of 153 A in diameter) was examined for use as a support material for enzyme immobilization. A model enzyme, alpha-chymotrypsin, was efficiently bound onto the glass via a bifunctional ligand, trimethoxysilylpropanal, with an active enzyme loading of 0.54 wt%. The glass-bound chymotrypsin exhibited greatly enhanced stability both in aqueous solution and organic solvents. The half-life of the glass-bound alpha-chymotrypsin was >1000-fold higher than that of the native enzyme, as measured either in aqueous buffer or anhydrous methanol. The enhanced stability in methanol, which excludes the possibility of enzyme autolysis, particularly reflected that the covalent binding provides effective protection against enzyme inactivation caused by structural denaturation. In addition, the activity of the immobilized alpha-chymotrypsin was also much higher than that of the native enzyme in various organic solvents. From these results, it appears that the glass-enzyme complex developed in the present work can be used as a high-performance biocatalyst for various chemical processing applications, particularly in organic media.

Abstract
The promoter from rice tungro bacilliform badnavirus (RTBV) is expressed only in phloem tissues in transgenic rice plants. RF2a, a b-Zip protein from rice, is known to bind to the Box II cis element near the TATA box of the promoter. Here, we report that the full-length RTBV promoter and a truncated fragment E of the promoter, comprising nucleotides -164 to +45, result in phloem-specific expression of beta-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter genes in transgenic tobacco plants. When a fusion gene comprising the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter and RF2a cDNA was coexpressed with the GUS reporter genes, GUS activity was increased by 2-20-fold. The increase in GUS activity was positively correlated with the amount of RF2a, and the expression pattern of the RTBV promoter was altered from phloem-specific to constitutive. Constitutive expression of RF2a did not induce morphological changes in the transgenic plants. In contrast, constitutive overexpression of the b-ZIP domain of RF2a had a strong effect on the development of transgenic plants. These studies suggest that expression of the b-Zip domain can interfere with the function of homologues of RF2a that regulate development of tobacco plants.

Abstract
The behavior of complex pollution system in soil composed of aldicarb, a carbamate pesticide, and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS), an anionic surfactant, was studied by the experiment of shaking sorption balance. The range of concentration of aldicarb and SDBS was 0.4-5.0 and 1-1000 mg/kg of dried soil, respectively. Linear sorption isotherm was well fitted for these two chemicals. SDBS can decrease the sorption of aldicarb in soil remarkably. While the concentration of SDBS increased from 0 to 1000 mg/kg, the linear sorption coefficient can be decreased by 50%. But aldicarb showed no effect on the sorption of SDBS in experiment. In addition the mechanism of the effect of SDBS on sorption of aldicarb was discussed.

Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the dependence of the output signal spectral lineshape and intensity on the modulation, waveform and modulation index in first- and second-harmonic detection of triangle modulation, square demodulation and saw modulation square demodulation. The signal lineshape in the case of saw modulation, square demodulation is quite different from, whereas the signal lineshape in the case of triangle modulation, square demodulation is similar to that in traditional sine modulation, sine demodulation. Experiments of tunable IR laser frequency modulation absorption spectrum of methane are also done to verify the theoretical analysis. Then we reach a conclusion; the lineshape and intensity of frequency modulation spectrum can be influenced by modulation waveform, demodulation waveform and modulation index. Calculation results can be used to choose better experimental parameters and optimize experimental designs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of octreotide on the intragastric pH of patients with duodenal ulcer bleeding during the period of 24 hours and to observe if it can advance the effect of hemostasis by endoscopic injection of epinephrine. METHODS Twenty-four patients with duodenal ulcer bleeding were randomly divided into three groups, eight in each. Patients in group 1 received an intravenous injection of 0.1 mg of octreotide followed by continuous intravenous drip of octreotide at a constant speed of 25 microg/h for 24 hours. The patients in group 2 received an intravenous injection of 0.1 mg of octreotide followed by continuous intravenous drip of octreotide at a constant speed of 42 microg/h for 24 hours. The patients in group 3 received an intravenous injection of 40 mg of omeprazole followed by continuous intravenous drip of omeprazole at a constant speed of 8 mg/h for 24 hours. Intragastric pH was continuously recorded with a pH meter. The patients with active ulcer bleeding was treated with injection of epinephrine via endoscope and then received intravenous drip of octreotide (with the same dosage as in group 1, n = 42) or omeprazole (with the same dosage as in group 3, n = 54) for 72 hours and were given omeprazole (20 mg Bid). RESULTS The mean and median intragastric pH values among the patients in group 2 treated by a larger dosage of octreotide (6.7 +/- 0.5 and 6.9 +/- 0.4) were similar to those in the group 3 treated by omeprazole (6.8 +/- 0.4 and 7.0 +/- 0.4). There was no statistically significant difference between these two groups in percentage of intragastric pH above 4, 6, and 7 The mean and median of intragastric pH among the patients in group 1 treated by a smaller dosage of octreotide were statistically significantly smaller (5.2 +/- 0.5 and 5.4 +/- 0.4) than those in the omeprazole group. There was no statistically significant difference between octreotide treatment and omeprazole treatment in terms of volume of blood transfusion (0.7 +/- 0.5 vs. 0.6 +/- 0.4 L), rebleeding rate (11.6% vs. 12.9%), emergency operation rate (7.1% vs. 3.7%), and mortality (2.3% vs. 3.7%). CONCLUSION Octreotide effectively inhibits the secretion of gastric acid. However, the dosage in common use clinically fails to increase the intragastric pH to the best situation needed for effective hemostasis. Only a large dosage (1.10 mg/d) works.

Abstract
A double imprinting methodology was developed to synthesize novel materials with hierarchical structures. On the microporous level (1-3 A), metal ions served as template. On the mesoporous level (diameters of 25-40 A), micellar structures produced by self-assembly of surfactant molecules were used as templates. Removal of both metal ions and surfactant micelles resulted in the formation of imprints with different sizes within the silica matrix, each with a specific function. This research opens vast opportunities for the applications of ordered mesoporous materials in the area of molecular recognition such as separations, chemical sensors, and catalysts.

Abstract
The GX2 growing mycelium shows excellent adsorptive capacity on the four kinds of anthraquinone dyes, however, due to the difference of molecular structure of dyes, the adsorption rates are different. Although the dyes show inhibiting effect on the growth of GX2, when the concentration of reactive brilliant blue KN-R is 250 and 400 mg/L, the adsorption rate of dye by the GX2 growing mycelium reaches 100% and 91.4%, respectively. With the increase of salinity (NaCl), the dry weight of GX2 mycelium increases; the diameter of granular mycelium decreases and its adsorption surface area increases accordingly, the salinity shows evident enhancement on the adsorption of reactive brilliant blue KN-R by GX2 growing mycelium in the range of 0%-2% salinity. The adsorption process is influenced by the concentration of carbon source as well, reactive brilliant blue KN-R with the concentration of 120 mg/L can be completely adsorbed only when the concentration of glucose is more than 2.5 g/L. The GX2 growing mycelium has better adsorptive capacity than resting living mycelium and dead mycelium.

Abstract
The bindings of 3 kinds of aidehyde pollutants, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein, with both prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA, and their genotoxic effect and mechanism were conducted by the shifts of maximum UV absorption peak to determine binding effects and by HPLC to determine binding sites in vitro model system. The shifts of maximum UV absorption peak of prokaryotic DNA contaminated by 3 kinds of aldehyde pollutants are not significant; but after the DNA extracted from prokaryotic bacteria reacting with formaldehyde in tube, the shifts of maximum UV absorption peak of DNA are significant; the shifts of maximum UV absorption peak of eukaryotic DNA contaminated by 3 kinds of aldehyde pollutants are significant also. The reacition of acetaldehyde with dG reduced by NaBH4 was separated and detected by HPLC, the product was determined qualitatively as N2-ethaldeoxyguanosine adduct. The 3 kinds of aldehyde pollutants could bind with cellular DNA to express genotoxic effects; and the N2 site of deoxyguanosine is the possible covalent binding site.

Abstract
The addition of dopants in the wet chemistry formation of glass in sol-gel technology is used for many purposes. Among the uses are the fabrication of films sensitive to pH, temperature, the presence of dissolved chemicals in solutions and many others. This paper describes the use of sol-gel technology for the doping of B-10, Li-6 and U-235 into glass films applied to silicon surface barrier (SSB) detectors. Using a commercial preamp/amplifier and an IEEE-488 NIM counter, the response was recorded of the neutron profile in a neutron activation source. A portable personal computer recorded the thermal neutron map as the detector was lowered in 1.27-cm steps down a Numec thermal neutron activation source. The lithiated glass film on the SSB gave about four times the count rate of the boron-10 doped glass film. The U-235 doped glass film gave a much lower count rate, but maintained a constant output signal due to the presence of the alpha activity from the U-235 and the trace of U-234 present in the sample.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to investigate the functional relationship between filamin, a known actin binding protein, and myosin and the effects of filamin on the interaction between myosin and actin. METHODS Ultra-centrifugation method was used to investigate the binding of filamin to both phosphorylated and unphosphorylated myosins. Mg-ATPase activities of both phosphorylated and unphosphorylated myosins in the presence and absence of actin were measured to observe the effects resulted from filamin-actin and filamin-myosin interactions. RESULTS It was found that filamin is also a myosin binding protein. Filamin inhibited the actin activated Mg-ATPase activity of phosphorylated myosin and stimulated Mg-ATPase of phosphorylated myosin in the absence of actin; in addition, filamin stimulated Mg-ATPase activity of unphosphorylated myosin in both the presence or absence of actin. CONCLUSION The result suggest that the effects of filamin on the myosin Mg-ATPase activities are bi-directional, i.e., stimulatory via binding to myosin and inhibitory via binding to actin.

Abstract
Microtiter plate wells modified with thin (approximately 20 microm) polymeric films capable of optically sensing macromolecular protamine and other polycationic species are described. The plates are prepared by coating the bottom of each well of a conventional 96-well polypropylene plate with an adherent polymer film (a mixture of poly(vinyl chloride) and polyurethane) containing a lipophilic 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein derivative. Surprisingly, optical response toward polycations is shown to result from the extraction of the fluorescein derivative from the polymer film into a lyophobic colloidal phase at the sample/film interface. This new phase is likely composed of a micellular-type ion pair complex between the analyte polycation from aqueous sample phase and the deprotonated form of the fluorescein derivative. Accumulation of the deprotonated fluorescein species in this interfacial region induces an absorbance change measured at 540 nm. Optimized plates can be used to sense protamine concentrations in the range of 0-100 microg/mL in 10 min with little or no response to physiological levels of common cationic species (Na+, K+, Ca2+, etc.). The modified plates are shown to be useful as simple optical detectors for measuring heparin levels in plasma via titrations with protamine and for monitoring protease activities (trypsin and plasmin) that cleave polycationic peptides/proteins such as protamine into smaller peptide fragments that are not detected by the sensing films. Assays for "clot busting" plasminogen activators (streptokinase, urokinase, and tissue plasminogen activator) are also demonstrated using this relatively simple microtiter plate-based polycation detection system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the cytokin production of T helper cell (Th) 1, Th2 subsets in patients with endometriosis(EM). METHODS The cytokine production of Th1, Th2 cells expressed by interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) contents respectively in supernatants of cultured PHA induced peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and plasma, obtained from 30 EM patients and 15 normal controls were determined by enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS IL-4 contents of EM patients were elevated both in plasma and PBMC supernatants[(32.0 +/- 22.6) ng/L and (32.8 +/- 12.5) ng/L, respectively], while IFN-gamma levels was suppressed in PBMC supernatant as compared with normal controls [(1,095.6 +/- 375.6) ng/L and (1,549.3 +/- 361.9) ng/L, respectively] (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). As a results, the ratio of IFN-gamma/IL-4 decreased in EM patients. CONCLUSIONS Changes of IFN-gamma and IL-4 contents in EM patients may reflect functional inbalance between Th1 and Th2 cells, which may play a role in the pathogenesis of EM.

Abstract
The auxiliary calcium channel alpha2delta subunit comprises a family of three genes, alpha2delta-1 to 3, which are expressed in a tissue-specific manner. alpha2delta-2 mRNA is found in the heart, skeletal muscle, brain, kidney, liver and pancreas. We report here for the first time the identification and functional characterization of alpha2delta-2 splice variants and their mRNA distribution in the mouse brain. The splice variants differ in the alpha2 and delta protein by eight and three amino acid residues, respectively, and are differentially expressed in cardiac tissue and human medullary thyroid carcinoma (hMTC) cells. In situ hybridization of mouse brain sections revealed the highest expression of alpha2delta-2 mRNA in the Purkinje cell layer of the cerebellum, habenulae and septal nuclei, and a lower expression in the cerebral cortex, olfactory bulb, thalamic and hypothalamic nuclei, as well as the inferior and superior colliculus. As the in situ data did not suggest a specific colocalization with any alpha1 subunit, coexpression studies of alpha2delta-2 were carried out either with the high-voltage-gated calcium channels, alpha1C, alpha1E or alpha1A, or with the low-voltage-gated calcium channel, alpha1G. Coexpression of alpha2delta-2 increased the current density, shifted the voltage dependence of channel activation and inactivation of alpha1C, alpha1E and alpha1A subunits in a hyperpolarizing direction, and accelerated the decay and shifted the steady-state inactivation of the alpha1G current.

Abstract
The gamma subunit was initially identified as an auxiliary subunit of the skeletal muscle calcium channel complex. Evidence for the existence of further gamma subunits arose following the characterization of a genetic defect that induces epileptic seizures in stargazer mice. We present here the first account of a family of at least five putative gamma subunits that are predominantly expressed in brain. The gamma-2 and gamma-4 subunits shift the steady-state inactivation curve to more hyperpolarized potentials upon coexpression with the P/Q type alpha(1A) subunit. The coexpression of the gamma-5 subunit accelerates the time course of current activation and inactivation of the alpha(1G) T-type calcium channel.

Abstract
The chromatography method for analysis of glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c) in human erythocytes was established by using a fast protein liquid chromatography system(FPLC) and a Mono S column. The average intrabatch and interbatch coefficients of variations (n = 3) were 2.5% and 4.8%, respectively. There was a positive correlation between the results of FPLC and routine microcolumn method (r = 0.413, P < 0.02). Using FPLC method, the HbA1c levels in festing blood of 54 normal donors and 26 diabetics on admission were 4.6 +/- 1.19(%) and 10.2 +/- 3.45(%), respectively. A significant difference was found statistically between the results of two groups (t = 10.8, P < 0.01).

Conclusion 1037. Acknowledgements 1048. References 104A pre-requisite for life on earth is the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy by
photosynthetic organisms. Plants and photosynthetic oxygenic microorganisms trap the
energy from sunlight with their photosynthetic machinery and use it to produce reducing
equivalents, NADPH, and ATP, both necessary for the reduction of carbon dioxide to
carbohydrates, which are then further used in the cellular metabolism as building blocks and
energy source. Thus, plants can satisfy their energy needs directly via the light reactions of
photosynthesis during light periods. The situation is quite different in the dark, when these
organisms must use normal catabolic processes like non-photosynthetic organisms to obtain
the necessary energy by degrading carbohydrates, like starch, accumulated in the chloroplasts
during daylight. The chloroplast stroma contains both assimilatory enzymes of the Calvin
cycle and dissimilatory enzymes of the pentose phosphate cycle and glycolysis. This
necessitates a strict, light-sensitive control that switches between assimilatory and
dissimilatory pathways to avoid futile cycling (Buchanan, 1980, 1991; Buchanan et al. 1994;
Jacquot et al. 1997; Schürmann & Buchanan, 2000).

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have performed series studies to investigate the effect of intragastric pH on control of peptic ulcer bleeding. In laboratory and animal studies, both platelet aggregation and gastric mucosal bleeding time were shown to be extremely sensitive to different pH levels. Platelet aggregation decreased significantly at pH > or = 6.8 and gastric mucosal bleeding time fell significantly at pH > or = 6.4. In a prospective clinical trial, primed infusions of different dosages of omeprazole (8 or 4 mg/h) after a bolus (40 mg) produced consistently high intragastric pH values in patients with bleeding duodenal ulcer. These results were not significantly different from that obtained from omeprazole 40 mg bolus treatment every 12 h (P > 0.05). However, primed injection with cimetidine (800 mg/12 h) was less effective (P < 0.05). METHODS In a retrospective analysis, 303 patients with bleeding peptic ulcer who were treated with cimetidine and 326 patients who were treated with omeprazole were compared. RESULTS The emergency surgery (4.91%) and mortality rates (1.84%) in the omeprazole group were not significantly different (P > 0.05) from those (7.28 and 1.99%) in the cimetidine group. However, the standardized emergency surgery rate of the omeprazole group (3.28%) was significantly lower than that (9.28%) of the cimetidine group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION We conclude that increased intragastric pH to at least 6.4 with omeprazole is helpful in controlling peptic ulcer bleeding. Chinese patients require a lower dose of omeprazole than their Western counterparts to control ulcer bleeding.

Abstract
In this paper, we discussed the effective dielectric function of porous SiO2 glass with pore size 7.5 nm. We briefly discussed different formulae proposed by different theoretical models of porous systems, and compared the relationship of effective dielectric functions changing with different porosity of porous SiO2 of each formula. Through comparing the experimental spectra and the theoretical spectra of each formula, we found the equation ln epsilon e = theta 1 ln epsilon 1 + theta 2 + theta 2 ln epsilon 2 best indicates the effective dielectric function of porous SiO2. This work is helpful in selecting special absorption materials.
