抗FGF-2纳米抗体抑制碱烧伤诱导大鼠角膜血管新生

目的：研究抗成纤维细胞生长因子（FGF-2）纳米抗体对碱烧伤诱导的大鼠角膜血管生成的治疗作用。方法：将SD大鼠分为：假手术组（Sham），模型组（Model，直径为3 mm的浸有1 mol/L NaOH溶液圆形滤纸贴于大鼠眼角膜中央处30 s，制备大鼠碱烧伤血管生成模型）和治疗组（Treatment，术后7天至21天用3 mg/mL的抗FGF-2纳米抗体溶液滴眼，每日3次，每次10 μL，共14天）。通过体视显微镜和CD31免疫组织化学染色计算大鼠角膜血管生成情况。实时荧光定量PCR、酶联免疫吸附测定和免疫组织化学染色3种方法检测抗血管内皮生长因子（VEGF）和FGF-2的mRNA和蛋白表达水平。结果：（1）血管：治疗组较模型组的面积显著减少，血管管腔较窄（P<0.05），在药物干预14天后，差异最为显著；（2）FGF-2的mRNA和蛋白表达水平：模型组与治疗组的结果相近（P>0.05）；（3）VEGF的mRNA和蛋白表达水平：治疗组显著高于模型组（P<0.05）。此外，假手术组的持续给药也使得VEGF表达显著增加（P<0.05）。 结论：抗FGF-2纳米抗体可抑制由碱烧伤诱导的角膜血管新生，但也使得正常大鼠角膜或病理大鼠角膜的VEGF表达水平代偿性升高。     

Partial electrode method for loss and physical parameter determination of piezoceramics: Simplification,error investigation and applicability

The IEEE standard to determine physical parameters of piezoceramics has been utilized for decades by many researchers, yet it omits presence of important loss factors and possesses serious deficits that restrict accurate parameter determination. To resolve these issues, the partial electrode (PE) method was previously proposed, though the focus has been merely made on development of the method itself. In this study, we provide method simplification and more detailed analysis. The omission of unnecessary samples greatly boosts experiment and analysis process. To prove that the PE method is reliable, possible causes of errors were investigated; it is shown that they were either negligibly small or can be resolved with proper calibration. Furthermore, Applicability of PE method to various types of piezoceramic materials and compatibility with impedance analyzers are shown. Finally, PE method is proved to be reliable and can be alternative to IEEE Standard on Piezoelectricity.

橙皮苷酶解液中橙皮素单糖苷的树脂分离

橙皮苷酶解液组分复杂，含糖类、橙皮素和橙皮素单糖苷（hesperetin-7-O-glucoside，HMG）等。采用了6种大孔吸附树脂和半制备液相色谱分离纯化橙皮苷酶解液中的HMG，并通过红外、紫外和XRD手段表征产物结构，同时采用羟基自由基清除试验探讨其抗氧化活性。结果表明：HPD300大孔树脂最适于酶解液中HMG的分离；HPD300大孔树脂对酶解液中主要组分的静态和动态总吸附量分别为48.35 mg/g和35.82 mg/g，主要用于分离糖类杂质；以10 BV的45%乙醇为洗脱剂，洗脱流速1.2 mL/min，洗提物中HMG纯度从80.37%提高到97.83%；洗提物经半制备液相进一步分离纯化后得到单体HMG，最终纯度可达98.21%, 经紫外、红外和XRD手段验证产物为HMG；且HMG的羟基自由基清除能力略高于橙皮素，远高于橙皮苷。     

Service quality,technical efficiency and total factor productivity growth in Pakistan's post-reform electricity distribution companies

Pakistan's energy sector has undergone substantial reforms during the last three decades with the aim to improve its operational performance and to cater to the growing energy needs of the economy. In the wake of these reforms, the WAPDA Act was passed in 1998 to achieve operational and financial efficiencies. Pakistan's electricity market is still hampered by issues like extended blackouts, electricity thefts, high circular debt and poor service quality. The electricity distribution sector is thus an interesting case to investigate its efficiency in the post-reform period by examining the impact of service-quality parameters (SQPs), which have generally been neglected in the literature. Stochastic frontier analysis has been used to estimate technical efficiency, while the Malmquist Productivity Index is implemented to decompose total factor productivity (TFP) into scale change, technical change and efficiency change from 2006 to 2016. We conclude that the technical efficiency score declines from 98 percent to 36 percent with the inclusion of SQPs in the models. The results also indicate a negative trend in scale change, implying that distribution companies are not operating at the technically optimal scale. We propose that the regulatory body should change its governance regime and focus on incentive-based regulation instead of rate-of-return regulation.     

Regional characteristics and the decision to innovate in a developing country: A multilevel analysis of Ecuadorian firms

This is the first study that uses multilevel modelling to analyse regional influence on the decision to invest in innovation activities of firms in a single developing country, Ecuador. Our results indicate that the decision to invest in R&D and in other innovation activities are conditioned by the region in which the firm is located. Regional loan volume, orientation towards knowledge exploitation and intra-regional-sectorial R&D spillovers are positively associated with both types of innovation activities, while regional levels of co-operation and inter-regional R&D spillovers are only positively associated with the probability of investing in other innovation activities.     

Organizational Characteristics Influencing SME Information Security Maturity

In the current business environment, many organizations use popular standards such as the ISO 27000x series, COBIT, and related frameworks to protect themselves against security incidents. However, these standards and frameworks are overly complicated for small to medium-sized enterprises, leaving these organizations with no easy to understand toolkit to address their security needs. This research builds upon the recent Information Security Focus Area Maturity (ISFAM) model for SME information security as a cornerstone in the development of an assessment tool for tailor-made, fast, and easy-to-use information security advice for SMEs. By performing an extensive literature review and evaluating the results with security experts, we propose the Characterizing Organizations’ Information Security for SMEs (CHOISS) model to relate measurable organizational characteristics in four categories through 47 parameters to help SMEs distinguish and prioritize which risks to mitigate.     

Criticality of the thorium burnup in equilibrium state

The effective neutron multiplication factor (k_eff) as a function of burnup for different volume coolant (CoR) and fuel (FR) to cell ratio is presented. Additionally the Conversion Ratio (CR) of Th-232 to U-233, concentration of U-233, fissile and fission products calculation as a function of burnup are presented. The assembly is a critical reactor which makes volumes of coolant and fuel changes possible. In addition, an analytical model of calculation of k_eff as a function of U-233 and a poison concentration in equilibrium state are presented. One can achieve the criticality of Thorium Breeder Reactor (TBR) for enough high average neutron energy which one can obtain in Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR) only. The maximal value of CR and burnup for case of k_eff ≥ 1 achieves 1.4 and 360 GWd/MTU, correspondently. The calculations were done with a MCNPX 2.7 code using F₂Be, Na and Pb coolants.
