Article Synopsis
  • - A ZnO/diamond structure UV photodetector was created by depositing ZnO films of 50 and 100 nm thickness on diamond substrates using a sputtering technique.
  • - The photodetector's photocurrent gain in the UV range was significantly influenced by the thickness of the ZnO films, achieving gains of 14.3 A/W and 308 A/W for the 50 nm and 100 nm films, respectively.
  • - Peak responsivities for both film thicknesses occurred at 270 nm, with additional shoulder peaks noted at 240 nm and 290 nm, likely corresponding to properties of the diamond and ZnO materials.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study aims to analyze traditional Chinese medicine (CM) prescription laws for treating aplastic anemia (AA) by reviewing literature from various medical sources between 1979 and 2009.
  • - A total of 311 relevant articles were identified, detailing 677 prescriptions that utilized 254 different Chinese herbs, focusing on their medicinal uses, such as invigorating deficiency and clearing heat.
  • - The research established four core drug groups based on their usage frequency in prescriptions, highlighting six potential composing laws for effective treatment, emphasizing the importance of certain herbs in the management of AA.

Objective: To study the regulatory effects of psoralen (PSO) plus ultraviolet A (UVA), which is PUVA, on cell apoptosis of human leukemia cell line NB4 and signal pathway of cell apoptosis.

Methods: Human leukemia cell line NB4 was cultured in vitro. The NB4 cells were treated with PSO extracted from Chinese medicine psoralea fruits at different concentrations (0, 5, 10, 20 and 40 microL) plus UVA of wave length 360 nm at different irradiation time points (0 and 5 min).

Background: To investigate the effects of treatment with Multi component Chinese Medicine Jinzhida (JZD) on behavioral deficits in diabetes-associated cognitive decline (DACD) rats and verify our hypothesis that JZD treatment improves cognitive function by suppressing the endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and improving insulin signaling transduction in the rats' hippocampus.

Methods: A rat model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was established using high fat diet and streptozotocin (30 mg/kg, ip). Insulin sensitivity was evaluated by the oral glucose tolerance test and the insulin tolerance test.

Objective: To investigate the effect of post-remission therapy mainly with Compound Huangdai Tablet (CHDT) on long-term survival of patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).

Methods: One hundred and twelve APL patients were treated after remission mainly with CHDT administered alternately with chemotherapeutic projects such as HACP, HAOP, HAEP and HAMP. The relapse rate and relapse-free survival (RFS) rate in them were estimated by bone marrow examination.
