| 1 | Comprehensive Multi-Level Exploration of Buried Active Faults:an Example of the Yinchuan Buried Active Fault显示文摘The paper introduces the steps and methods of multi-approach,multi-level exploration of buried faults in thick Quaternary sediment regions by taking the test exploration of the Yinchuan active fault as example.Based on the comprehensive analyses of previous data,we choose the Xinqushao Village of Xingqing District of Yinchuan City as the test site for the comprehensive exploration.Firstly,we adopted shallow seismic investigation with group intervals of 10m,5m and 1m to gradually trace layer by layer the master fault of the Yinchuan buried fault from a deep depth to a shallow depth where drilling could be used.Then,with composite geological profile drilling,we determined the precise location and dip angle of the fault.The drilling show the buried depth of the upper offset point is 8.3m.Finally,large-scale trenching revealed that the actual buried depth of the upper offset point of the fault is 1.5m from the ground surface and there are paleoearthquake events of 5 stages.Combined with the preliminary result of corresponding sample age,we conclude the Yinchuan buried fault is a mid to late Holocene active fault. | Chai Chizhang Meng Guangkui Du Peng Wang Yin Liu Baojin Shen Weihua LeiQiyun Liao Yuhua Zhao Chengbin Feng Shaoying Zhang Xuehui Xie Xiaofeng | 2007 | Earthquake Research in China2007,21,3: | 1 |
| 2 | Self-assembly of lipids and nanoparticles in aqueous solution:Self-consistent field simulations显示文摘Self-assembled nanostructures of lipids and nanoparticles hold great promise for applications in such fields as nanomedicine.This paper uses the self-consistent field theory to investigate the self-assembly behavior of lipid molecules and nanoparticles with different shapes in an aqueous solution.It is found that the lipid molecules can form monolayered and bilayered nanostructures around the nanoparticles with different shapes(e.g.,triangular,square,hexagonal and octangular). With decreasing the size of nanoparticles or increasing the number of polygon edges,the shape of lipid layers will approach an approximately spherical shape.These findings may help to predict and design novel drug delivery nanocarriers. | Weihua Xie Guangkui Xu Xiqiao Feng | 2012 | Theoretical & Applied Mechanics Letters2012,2,1: | 1 |
| 3 | Effect of Yishen Qiqiao Fang on dopamine content in serum and cerebrospinal fluid of patients in persistent vegetative statec显示文摘BACKGROUND: It has been demonstrated that the attack of persistent vegetative state is associated with the damaged neuron, which produces dopamine, and nervous pathway, the reduce of dopamine or malfunction of dopamine. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of self-made traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Yishen Qiqiao Fang, which has the functions of supplementing qi and nourishing blood, resolving phlegm by promoting blood circulation, restoring consciousness and inducing resuscitation, on the contents of dopamine in serum and cerebrospinal fluid of patients in persistent vegetative state. DESIGN: An open randomized controlled clinical trial. SETTINGS: Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Nanjing Zijin Hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Thirty-eight inpatients of persistent vegetative state were selected from the Department of Neurology, Nanjing Zijin Hospital from August 2005 to November 2006. The patients were diagnosed according to the diagnostic standards set by the summary of a meeting for specialists in Nanjing. Informed contents were obtained from their relatives. According to the order of admission, the enrolled patients were divided into control group (n =20) and TCM treated group (n =20). METHODS: In the control group, the patients were treated with routine treatments for the symptoms. In the TCM treated group, the patients were treated with Yishen Qiqiao Fang besides the same treatments in the control group. TCM dispensing granules: each bag of mongolian milkvetch root, Chinese angelica and peach seed equaled to 10 g crude drug respectively; each bag of grassleaf sweetflag rhizome and dahurian angelica root equaled to 6 g crude drug respectively; Musk 0.05 g. The daily dosage for adults: 4 bags of mongolian milkvetch root, 2 bags of Chinese angelica, 0.05 g musk, 1 bag of peach seed, 2 bags of grassleaf sweetflag rhizome and 2 bags of dahurian angelica root, which should be given though nasal feeding or gastrostogavage before breakfast and supper every day, the course lasted for 2 months. The contents of dopamine in serum and cerebrospinal fluid were determined with enzyme immunoassay analyzer before and after treatment in both groups. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Contents of dopamine in serum and cerebrospinal fluid before and after treatment in both groups. RESULTS: Totally 38 patients of persistent vegetative state were enrolled, 33 of them were involved in the final analysis of results, and the other 5 missed. The contents of dopamine in serum and cerebrospinal fluid had no obvious differences between the two groups both before and after treatment (P > 0.05). In the control group, the contents of dopamine in serum and cerebrospinal fluid had no obvious differences before and after treatment (P > 0.05). In the TCM treated group, the contents of dopamine in serum and cerebrospinal fluid after treatment were obviously higher than those before treatment (t =2.174, 2.485, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Yishen Qiqiao Fang can significantly increase the contents of dopamine in serum and cerebrospinal fluid of patients in persistent vegetative state, which may be one of the mechanisms for ameliorating persistent vegetative state. | Guangkui Feng Tao Liu Zhaoqing Xi Fujun Lin Peidong Wang Lichun Zhang Chunping Wu Hulong Ma Chong Liu | 2007 | Neural Regeneration Research2007,2,7: | 1 |
