Reprint of: Does two-step infusion improve the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics target attainment of meropenem in critically Ill patients?

The optimal method for administering meropenem remains controversial. This study was conducted to explore the optimal two-step infusion strategy (TIT), and to investigate whether TIT is superior to intermittent infusion therapy (IIT) and prolonged infusion therapy (PIT). A physiologically based pharmacokinetics model for critically ill patients was established and evaluated.

Research and engineering practice on space characteristics of gangue slurry filling.

The macroscopic characteristics of the fractured space and the microscopic pore features are critical factors determining the effectiveness of gangue slurry backfilling. To identify the key areas for slurry backfilling, a combination of theoretical analysis, simulation experiments, and on-site industrial trials was used to reveal the movement laws of backfilling space overlying the fractured zone. The distribution characteristics of voids available for slurry backfilling within the fractured space were explored, and the interaction between gangue slurry and goaf voids was clarified.

Time-Dependent Rheological Properties of Cemented Aeolian Sand-Fly Ash Backfill Vary with Particles Size and Plasticizer.

The use of cemented Aeolian sand-fly ash backfill (CAFB) material to fill the mining area to improve the surface subsidence damage caused by underground coal mining is in the development stage. Their performance with large overflow water and strength loss is not well understood. Few research has been conducted to understand the effects of aeolian sand and coal gangue on the rheological properties of CAFB with plasticizers.

The Failure Mechanical Properties of Cemented Paste Backfill with Recycled Rubber.

Understanding the mechanical properties and failure process of cemented paste backfill with recycled rubber (RCPB) is the foundation of backfill design in underground mining. In this study, physical and mechanical tests were conducted on RCPB to obtain its mechanical property parameters, such as its uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), toughness, and peak strain. The influence of the rubber dosage on the mechanical properties of RCPB was also analyzed.

Mechanical properties of cemented tailings backfill with chloride-free antifreeze.

In cold regions with sub-zero surface temperatures, the addition of chloride-free antifreeze (Ca(NO), Ca(NO), and CO(NH)) is an inexpensive method to prevent pipeline freezing during cemented tailings backfill (CTB) transport. However, the curing temperature of CTB after reaching the mine cavity tends to be above-zero. The mechanical properties of CTB with a chloride-free antifreeze in above-zero environments have not been investigated.

Preparation and performance of composite activated slag-based binder for cemented paste backfill.

The utilization of blast furnace slag (BFS) and fly ash (FA) to replace ordinary portland cement (OPC) has become a hot topic in the preparation of low-cost cemented paste backfill (CPB). This study has prepared a composite activated slag-based binder (CASB) using BFS and FA as the basic raw materials and desulfurization gypsum (DG) and cement clinker (CC) as the activator. The optimum ratio of CASB was determined based on the orthogonal test and the efficacy coefficient method.

[Effect of clinical experience on the shade matching accuracy].

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of clinical experience on the shade matching accuracy.

Methods: Thirty-seven dental students (group A) who had 1 to 2 years of clinical experience and 57 dental students (group B) who didn't have clinical experience took part in this experiment. Participants were divided into two groups (TTB group and TT group) and used the Toothguide Training (TT) and Toothguide Training Box (TTB) respectively.
