The result indicated that the haze degree of the EVOH film decreased about 10% and 5% compared to PE film and EVA film respectively, EVOH film's transmission of IR is much less than other films in the 2.5-25 microm wavelength range, it is just 9.

Synthesis, structures, and magnetism of three 1D Mn(III) chains with oxazoline-based ligands.

Three novel Mn(III) polymers, [Mn(phox)(2)(N(3))](n) (1), [Mn(Etphox)(2)(N(3))](n) (2), and [Mn(Etphox)(2)(C(2)N(3))](n) (3), using achiral ligand Hphox (Hphox = 2-(4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl)phenol) and chiral ligand HEtphox (HEtphox = 2-(4-ethyl-4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl)phenol) were synthesized and structurally and magnetically characterized. All complexes are of 1D chain structures and form 2D frameworks by weak interactions. The adjacent 1D chains of complex 1 are connected by face-to-face pi-pi interactions, C-H.

[Safety and immunogenicity of combined hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccine according to 0 and 6 months schedule in healthy children].

Objective: To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the Bilive(TM) combined hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccine in healthy children.

Methods: A total of 116 healthy children aged 1 - 10 years, who, without history of hepatitis A vaccine vaccination and anti-HAV negative, had completed the full immunization of hepatitis B vaccine were recruited in city of Changzhou in Jiangsu province. The Bilive(TM) combined hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccine was administered according to a two-dose schedule (0, 6 months).

Structures and aromaticity of X(2)Y(2)(-) (X = C, Si, Ge and Y = N, P, As) anions.

The equilibrium geometries, total energies, and vibrational frequencies of anions X(2)Y(2)(-) (X = C, Si, Ge and Y = N, P, As) are theoretically investigated with density functional theory (DFT) method. Our calculation shows that for C(2)N(2)(-) species, the D(2h) isomer is the most stable four-membered structure, and for other species the C(2v) isomer in which two X atoms are contrapuntal is the most stable structure at the B3LYP/6-311 +G(*) level. Wiberg bond index (WBI) and negative nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) value indicate the existence of delocalization in stable X(2)Y(2)(-) structures.

Objective: To evaluate the immunogenicity, safety, stability and consistency of three consecutive lots of an inactivated hepatitis A vaccine (Healive).

Methods: A double-blind, randomized and controlled clinical trial was conducted in healthy volunteers aged from 1 to 8 years. Totally, 400 subjects were enrolled and assigned into four groups, each receiving one of the three lots of Healive or a licensed control vaccine in 0 and 6th month.

Theoretical investigation on the heats of formation and the interactions among the isocyano groups in polyisocyanoprismanes C(6)H(6-n)(NC)(n) (n=1-6).

A series of polyisocyanoprismanes, C(6)H(6-n)(NC)(n) (n=1-6), has been designed computationally. We have calculated the heats of formation (HOFs) of the title compounds by using density functional theory (DFT) with 6-31G** basis set. We chose [3]prismane C(6)H(6)-D(3h) as a reference compound in the process of designing isodesmic reactions.

Immunogenicity and safety of three consecutive lots of a new preservative-free inactivated hepatitis A vaccine (Healive): a double-blind, randomized and controlled trial.

Immunization is considered as the most effective way for the prophylaxis of hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection. This study aimed to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of three consecutive lots of a new preservative-free inactivated hepatitis A vaccine (Healive) in healthy children. A double-blind, randomized and controlled clinical trial was conducted in healthy volunteers aged from 1 to 8 years.
