液晶电视屏幕的电路保护选择

平板液晶技术的迅猛发展让大屏幕、宽视角、高质量的视频图像得以实现。但是,随着液晶电视的屏幕变大、亮度更高,工作时所需的电压和电流也逐渐增加。而且,由于液晶电视屏幕中配置了多种供用户使用的接口,所以特别容易由于过电流和过电压的原因而出现损坏。     

Giant cell myocarditis. Report of a case

The authors report a case of giant cell myocarditis leading to rapidly progressive cardiac failure despite immuno-suppressor treatment in a 20 year old woman. The cardiac failure was successfully managed by implantation of a left ventricular assist device and then cardiac transplantation. The problems encountered underline the importance of accurate diagnosis by endomyocardial biopsy before undertaking treatment and the difficulties in the choice of appropriate method of assistance in this indication. Giant cell myocarditis is a rare cause of cardiac failure and should be considered in the differential diagnosis in view of its clinical features and risk of progression. The literature and the therapeutic implications are discussed.     

Anaemia in malaria control: a practical approach

Mortality from malarial anaemia and malarial infection in those who are already anaemic yet have some degree of compensation is now beginning to receive the attention it deserves. It is of particular concern in Africa and especially in young children and pregnant women. The asymptomatic parasitaemia remaining after poor response to full antimalarial treatment may lead to life-threatening anaemia; as drug-resistant strains of the malarial parasite proliferate this is becoming increasingly important. It is now possible to estimate haemoglobin levels, simply, cheaply, easily and safely, using a haemoglobin colour scale which is being developed by the World Health Organization. The potential and practical value of this scale in malaria-control programmes was demonstrated in a small, preliminary trial in 1995. Estimation of anaemia should become an additional parameter in the traditional malariometric survey. Haemoglobin concentrations should also be taken into consideration in the management of malaria patients at the primary-care level, particularly in deciding whether a patient should be referred to an appropriate treatment centre. The accurate prediction of clinical outcome of malaria and anaemia, and indication of the appropriate action (determined by a case-based reasoning device) should be possible in the near future.     

Human erythrocytes bearing electroinserted CD4 neutralize infection in vitro by primary isolates of human immunodeficiency virus type 1

Human erythrocytes bearing electroinserted full-length CD4 (RBC-CD4) can bind and fuse with a laboratory strain of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) or with T cells infected by HIV-1. Here we show that RBC-CD4 neutralize primary HIV-1 strains in an assay of cocultivation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from HIV-1-infected persons with uninfected PBMC. RBC-CD4 inhibited viral p24 core antigen accumulation in these cocultures up to 10,000-fold compared with RBC alone. Viral p24 accumulation was inhibited equally well when measured in culture supernatants or in call extracts. The inhibition was dose-dependent and long-lived. Two types of recombinant CD4 tested in parallel were largely ineffective. The neutralization of primary HIV-1 by RBC-CD4 in vitro was demonstrated in PBMC cultures from 21 of a total of 23 patients tested at two independent sites. RBC-CD4 may offer a route to blocking HIV-1 infection in vivo.     

Predictors of individual differences in mail-coding skills and their variation with ability level.

Personality and cognitive predictors of mail coding were investigated in 2 samples, 1 of high coding ability (N?=?56) and 1 of mixed ability (N?=?158). Two approaches to predicting correlates of skill within groups of differing ability were compared: P. L. Ackerman's (1988) ability theory and D. A. Norman and T. Shallice's (1985) account of levels of action control. The predictors of mail-coding skill varied with ability: Personality variables were more predictive among higher ability Ss, and cognitive measures were more predictive among lower ability Ss. Implications of the findings for theories of individual differences in skill are discussed. There were 2 main practical conclusions. First, the measures used were more predictive than a standard psychometric selection test. Second, correlates of skill may be different among unselected job applicants and among the subset of applicants hired for subsequent operational training.

Differential aluminium lactate toxicity in rabbits using either aqueous solutions or liposomal suspensions

The present paper deals with the toxic effects of aluminum lactate (Al(lact)3) in rabbits. Experimental animals were injected with 6.2 mg of Al(III) as Al(lact)3 aqueous solutions at neutral pH for 21 days. Histological examination showed different pathological lesions to the myocardial tissue, spleen, kidney and liver, with no relevant effects to lungs and CNS. On the contrary, rabbits injected with 60 micrograms of Al(III) as Al(lact)3 in a liposome suspension for 42 days showed a large infarctual zone in the spinal cord with the metal accumulation in the necrobiotic neurons. Pharmacological implications of these findings are also discussed.
