一种改进的准正交空时分组码

现有的准正交空时分组码(TBH和Jafarkhani)的编码子模块都采用Alamouti模式,因而性能较差。针对此问题,提出一种改进的准正交空时分组码,其主要方法在于将编码子模块反转180°,从而组合成新的编码矩阵。仿真结果表明,在误码率为10-2时,改进后的方法与TBH和Jafarkhani编码相比分别有大约2dB和3dB的增益。     

Wine extracts from Sardinian grape varieties attenuate membrane oxidative damage in Caco-2 cell monolayers

One of the most important sites of polyphenol action seems to be in the gastrointestinal system before absorption. We investigated the ability of three wine phenolic extracts, obtained from grape varieties grown in Sardinia, Cannonau (red), Vermentino and Malvasia (white), to exert an antioxidant action against tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBH)-induced oxidative damage to Caco-2 cell monolayers as a model system of the human intestine. TBH treatment caused the disruption of epithelial integrity, measured as transepithelial electrical resistance, and markers of the peroxidation process of membrane lipids, MDA, fatty acid hydroperoxides and 7-ketocholesterol. All wine extracts were able to counteract the oxidising action of TBH and, in spite of the differences in phenolic composition, exerted a comparable activity. Our findings point out a direct antioxidant action of the wine extracts on enterocytes exposed to oxidising species and further support the opinion that total phenolic content is not essential for antioxidant activity.
