To evaluate the effect of the implementation of emission reduction measures and the improvement in air quality during the National Traditional Games of Ethnic Minorities in Zhengzhou, a series of online instruments were used to continuously observe air pollutants and components of PM from August 5 to September 30, 2019. Three cases, including before emission reduction (August 5-24), during emission reduction (August 25 to September 18), and after emission reduction (September 19-30), were classified by the implementation of control measures. The results show that the growing concentration of PM after the cancellation of emission abatement measures (11.

To reduce the side effects and drug resistance in cancer chemotherapy, we have examined the in vitro efficacy of the combination of paclitaxel (PTX) and doxorubicin (DOX) loaded in nanosized polymeric micelles with glycolipid-like structure, which formed by lipid grafted chitosan. The cytotoxicities of PTX and DOX, either as single agents or in combination, were examined using drug sensitive tumor cells and drug resistant cells. It was found that the 50% inhibition of cellular growth (IC(50)) of PTX and DOX in micelles against drug sensitive cells was lowered about 20-fold and 4-7-fold compared to that of Taxol and DOX solution, respectively.
