Article Synopsis
  • - Low-molecular-weight poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is added to swellable poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) membranes to enhance their performance in CO2 separation.
  • - The modified membranes show increased CO2 permeability and CO2/H2 selectivity due to their improved microstructure and higher fractional free volume.
  • - This research aims to advance the development of effective polymer membranes for clean energy applications, potentially bridging the gap between academic research and industrial use.

Objectives: To study the effects of Sanqi qisodium hyaluronate gel on collagen-I and collagen-III expression in the process of rabbits' epidural scar formation after operation.

Methods: Ninety-six white rabbits with 6-month-old, half males and half females, weighted from 2 to 2.5 kg, which were randomly divided into normal saline group (A), Sanqi group (B), qisodium hyaluronate group (C) and Sanqi qisodium hyaluronate gel group (D).

Transforming growth factor (TGF-beta) plays a central role in wound healing and scarring. TGF-beta is a member of cytokine family, involving cell proliferation, migration, differentiation and apoptosis, which subsequently trigger extracellular matrix (ECM) deposite and collagen overproduction. A number of regulators of TGF-beta expression bave been identified, including Decorin CTGF, etc.

Background & Objective: Total laryngectomy is a common surgery pattern for treating laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer, but patients will lost phonation function after operation. This study was to retrospectively analyze usage of modified Amatsu, and modified Pearson operation in treating laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers, and to analyze phonation function by subjective and objective assessment.

Methods: Clinical data of 69 patients with laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer treated by total or near-total laryngectomy (modified Amatsu or modified Pearson operation) in our department from 1996 to 2003 were retrospectively analyzed.
