Clinical characteristics of patients with hypertension resistant to antihypertensive drug therapy

Two groups of hypertensive patients: 137 responsive (on one or two drugs) and 162 resistant on antihypertensive treatment in the similar age were compared. Resistant patients (on three or more drugs) characterize by significantly higher body weight and BMI, longer history of hypertension, more frequent hypertension prevalance in family members and lower education. Level of triglycerides in resistant on antihypertensive treatment patients was significantly higher than in responsive patients. Insulin level in blood in 31 patients with essential hypertension was significantly higher than in 36 healthy persons and 20 patients with renovascular hypertension and resistant on antihypertensive therapy. In 14 patients with essential hypertension resistant to treatment insulin level one hour after oral glucose load was significantly (p < 0.01) higher than in 16 patients with essential hypertension responsive to antihypertensive treatment.     

High quality gate dielectrics formed by rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition of silane and nitrous oxide

In the present study, we have performed electrical characterization of oxides deposited via rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition using SiH₄ and N₂O. We have investigated the effect of temperature, pressure, and SiH₄ to N₂O ratio on the electrical and material properties of as-deposited films. We have found that as-deposited oxides deposited at low temperatures, low pressures, and with a low silane to nitrous oxide ratio of ～0.5% give good material and electrical properties. The as-deposited films are stoichiometric in nature and have high deposition rates. As-deposited films had very low D_it values, high breakdown fields, and excellent subthreshold swing. The leakage currents and metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor current drive, although lower than thermal oxides, were found to be quite acceptable. We have also investigated the thickness dependence of the films and found that as the film thickness is reduced below 50Å, the reliability improves for all oxides including the silicon-rich deposited oxides.

Noninvasive determination of cardiac output in patients with severe airflow limitation

The noninvasive measurement of cardiac output (Q) by the Indirect Fick CO2-rebreathing technique requires mixed venous P CO2 (P CO2) to be determined by the rebreathing maneuver, and Pa CO2 to be estimated from end-tidal P CO2 (PET CO2). Previous work has suggested that although P CO2 can be determined, Pa CO2 cannot be accurately estimated in patients with significant airflow limitation. Nineteen patients with cystic fibrosis who had severe airflow limitation (%FEV1, 29.3 +/- 7.12 SD) were studied during steady-state exercise at 50% of their measured maximal work capacity. Estimated Pa CO2 was slightly lower than Pa CO2 measured from blood samples obtained from an indwelling arterial catheter (measured: 45.2 +/- 4.92; estimate: 42.7 +/- 5.68 mm Hg). To calculate arterial blood content, the values derived from Pa CO2, pH, hemoglobin (Hb), and O2 saturation were compared with those derived from PET CO2 and O2 saturation, where (1) pH was assumed to be 7.40 and Hb was measured, and (2) pH was assumed to be 7.40 and Hb was assumed to be 15 g/dl (measured mean pH, 7.34; Hb, 14.4 g/dl). No difference in arterial CO2 content was seen between the three methods (measured: 47.53 +/- 5.17; estimate 1: 49.57 +/- 6.58; estimate 2: 49.12 +/- 6.61 ml/100 ml). As pH and Hb can also affect mixed venous CO2 content, the effect on Q was also assessed. Both estimates fit closely with measured Q (r2=0.77 and 0.76), with intercepts not different from zero and slopes not different from 1, and coefficients of variation of 13.5 and 14.6%. When viewed with regard to the confidence intervals for Q as a function of O2 consumption, Q was altered to a minor extent. We conclude that the use of PET CO2 to estimate Pa CO2 can give reasonable values for Q determined noninvasively in patients with severe airflow limitation.

FAST MEASUREMENT OF ASH CONTENT IN COAL WASHING PLANT

The coal filter cake is a product of fine coal after floatation which has an ash content of 7-13%, water content of 30±2%, and a particle size of less than 1 mm. The ash content was measured by the intensity of the single backscattered gamma-ray, and its accuracy is mainly dependent on the energy of the gamma-ray. The 238Pu low energy photon source is selected in this work. The energy of its gamma-ray is 15 keV, which can result not only in the best sensitivity, but also in the lowest contribution to the environment radiation. The root mean square deviation of the ash measurement is±0.33% (±1σ).
