[Conversion Characteristics of Combustible Particles from Coal-fired Flue Gas in WFGD and WESP].

Monitoring of condensable particulate matter (CPM) emitted from stationary pollution sources has often been neglected. To reduce the emission of CPM, it is necessary to study its transformation rules in flue-gas cleaning devices. The results show that the wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) and wet electrostatic precipitator (WESP) have a good synergistic effect on the removal of CPM.

[Efficacy of integrative medicine for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and its effect on glucocorticoid receptor expression].

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and mechanism of Fengshikang (FSK) in treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Methods: Thirty-eight patients with RA of damp-heat block syndrome type in Chinese medicine (CM), were randomized into two groups. They all received glucocorticoid therapy for 1 month, but FSK was administered to the 20 patients in the CM group in addition, while to the 18 in the WM group, MTX was given.
