Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis-Derived Phase Angle Predicts Protein-Energy Wasting in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients.

Objective(s): To explore the validity of using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)-derived 50 kHz phase angle (PhA) in predicting protein-energy wasting (PEW) in Chinese maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.

Design And Methods: The design was a cross-sectional study. A total of 173 of MHD patients and 173 healthy adults were enrolled in the study.

[Investigation on the fabrication and spectrum properties of Yb3+ -doped silicate laser glasses].

Two kinds of Yb3+ doped silicate laser glass with little difference were produced by high temperature of melting process. The absorption and emission spectra of the two glass samples were tested by the correlative spectrographs; the integral absorption cross section, stimulated emission cross section, fluorescence line-width, fluorescence lifetime, least particle count, saturation pump intensity and least pump intensity of the Yb3+ -doped laser glasses were calculated respectively, and by comparison it was found that the chart of the absorption cross section is similar to the stimulated emission cross section calculated by the reciprocity method, and is very different from the stimulated emission cross section calculated by the Fuchbauer-Ladenburger method. This result is precisely in line with the theoretical analysis.
