Fermentation characteristics and the dynamic trend of chemical components during fermentation of Massa Medicata Fermentata

As a representative of traditionally fermented Chinese medicine, Massa Medicata Fermentata (MMF) shows the functions of invigorating the spleen and stomach and promoting digestion, which plays an important role in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. The fermentation mechanism and the key factors that affect the quality of MMF have not been revealed yet, which has become an urgent issue that limits its clinical application. This article aims to systematically and comprehensively reveal the transformation of physical properties and the dynamic trend of chemical components including substrate components, volatile components, and lactic acid as anaerobic fermentation product during MMF fermentation. Along with obvious hyphae growth observed for MMF, the weight of MMF decreased, and the moisture and temperature increased. Through the quantified 14 components from substrate, ferulic acid increased from 45.53 ± 6.94 to 141.89 ± 78.40 μg/g, while glycosides and phenolic acids declined except caffeic acid. Also, within the 66 volatile components analyzed, alcohols and acids increased, while aldehydes and ketones decreased. Lactic acid was not detected in the fermentation substrate, but an apparent increase in lactic acid content was observed along with the increased fermentation days, resulting in 2.54 ± 0.15 mg/g on day 8. Based on the tested components, the fermentation process of MMF was discriminated into three distinct stages by principal component analysis, and an optimal fermentation time of four days was proposed. The results of this study will be of great significance to clarify the characteristics of fermentation and conduce to improving quality standards of MMF.     

基于脑涨落图和抑郁评分系统评价中医综合治疗抑郁症的疗效

以DEP患者作为研究对象,利用脑涨落图仪（EFG）的客观检查方法及DEP现代医学评分系统,评价解郁合欢汤+五行音乐疗法的中医综合治疗方式对DEP的疗效。指标包括EFG检测大脑神经递质相对功率值、汉密尔顿抑郁量表（HAMD）以及蒙哥马利抑郁评定量表（MADRS）。EFG结果显示,患者治疗后脑内γ-氨基丁酸的相对功率值较治疗前显著降低（P<0.001）,去甲肾上腺素（P<0.001）、多巴胺相对功率值（P<0.001）较治疗前显著提高,患者治疗后的HAMD(P<0.001)、MADRS(P<0.001)较治疗前显著降低。说明中医综合疗法对DEP的疗效确切,可通过对大脑神经递质的调节作用而发挥抗抑郁疗效。

新疆产12种中草药中微量金属元素的测定

本文测定了新疆产新疆党参,新疆元胡等１２种中草药中十种微量金属元素的含量．结果表明这些中草药中具有显著生理活性的Ｚｎ、Ｆｅ、Ｃｕ、Ｍｎ等元素．它们的含量除了个别样品外均大于或接近于国内其它地区所产的同种中草药、根据冠心病病因的Ｚｎ／Ｃｕ值假说和微量金属元素的含量关系,新疆产１２种中草药也可用于防治冠心病．     

Chronology of environmental events over East Asia during the past 130 ka

In the transitional region between the Loess Plateau and deserts, 4 sections located respectively at Yuling, Hengshan, Dingbian and Huining of China are studied. The high-resolution paleoclimatic records obtained show that environmental events on varying time scales have happened over East Asia. These events are dated with the time scales established using the recently-developed approach of Automatic Orbital Tuning. This leads to the establishment of the chronology of the environmental events.

人工杉木林木材化学成分的变异规律

应用正交试验设计方法,系统分析了不同林龄,立地条件和林分密度下杉木人工林木材化学成分含量的变异规律。结果表明：影响人工杉木林木材化学成分含量的主导因子是林龄,其次是立地条件,林分密度影响最小。综合人工杉木林不同林龄,立地条件和林分上木材化学成分含量考虑,其纸浆材主伐年龄以１７－２３年左右较好。     

中国黄土区东亚古季风气候与冰期气候对比研究

研究了中国黄土区冰期气候与季风气候记录;进行了黄土磁化率与大洋δ１８Ｏ曲线对比,并且将黄土组合—古土壤组合与冰期－间冰期气候进行了比较。结果表明：黄土组合与古土壤组合记录了冰期气候与间冰期气候;中国黄土—古土壤堆积是全球冰期—间冰期气候变化与东亚古季风气候变化共同作用的结果。     

Measurement scheduling for recursive team estimation

We consider a decentralized LQG measurement scheduling problem in which every measurement is costly, no communication between observers is permitted, and the observers' estimation errors are coupled quadratically. This setup, motivated by considerations from organization theory, models measurement scheduling problems in which cost, bandwidth, or security constraints necessitate that estimates be decentralized, although their errors are coupled. We show that, unlike the centralized case, in the decentralized case the problem of optimizing the time integral of the measurement cost and the quadratic estimation error is fundamentally stochastic, and we characterize the -optimal open-loop schedules as chattering solutions of a deterministic Lagrange optimal control problem. Using a numerical example, we describe also how this deterministic optimal control problem can be solved by nonlinear programming.This research was supported in part by ARPA Grant N00174-91-C-0116 and NSF Grant NCR-92-04419.
