  • To evalulate the antioxidant effect of flavonoid(+)-catechin on n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in vivo, rats were fed with diets containing $5\%$ corn oil(CO), $5\%$ corn oil and $15\%$ purified fresh fish oil(FO) or peroxidized fish oil(PFO) for 10 days. To accerelate lipid peroxidation, all of them were injected with 60mg phenobarbital(a day per kg body weight), and treated with phorone(diisopropylidene acetone) before the rats were killed. Contents of triglyceride, phospholipid, cholesterol and lipid peroxide and the activities of GOT, GPT in serum and total lipid and cholesterol content in liver of PFO group rats were significantly higher than those of the FO one. Contrary to our expectations, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) in liver of the FO group were ]ewer than those of the PFO group. These results might be explained as the results of homeostasis. Even though the hepatic glutathione were depleted, catechin and a-tocopherol inhibited production of lipid peroxide effectively. These results suggested that catechin be considered an antioxidative and hepatoprotective agent.

  • Current assumptions are used in the formulation of pseudo-first (PFO) and second-order (PSO) models to describe the kinetic data of filtration based on ideal operating conditions. This paper presents a new model developed with pseudo nth order and based on real assumption. A comparison was performed between PFO, PSO and the new model to highlight their performance and the optimisation of the pseudo-order equation, using MATLAB software. Adsorption characteristic of bovine serum albumin adsorption on the track-etched membrane are used as a medium based on protein filtration data were extracted from the literature for different concentrations to demonstrate the comparison between PFO/PSO and the new model. The pseudo first and second-order kinetic models were applied to test the experimental data and they did not provide reasonable values. The results show that the predicted values are consistent with experimental values giving a good correlation coefficient R2 = 0.997 and a minimum root mean squared error RMSE = 0.0171. Indeed, the experimental results follow the new model and the optimal pseudo equation order n = 1.115, the most suitable curves for the new model. As a result, we used different experimental adsorption data from the literature to examine and check the applicability and validity of the model.

  • Chitosan, natural organic polymer, has been applied in water treatment as adsorbent due to non-toxic for human being. The amino group as functional group, can interacts with cation and anion at the same time. The prepared chitosan bead (HCB) was crosslinked to increase chemical stability (HCB-G) and both HCB and HCB-G were prepared to increase physical strength by drying referred to DCB and DCB-G, respectively. The adsorption effect for crosslinking and drying for four types of chitosan bead was tested using pseudo fist order (PFO), pseudo second order (PSO), and intraparticle diffusion model (ID). Regardless of PFO and PSO, the order of K, rate constant, is as followed: HCB > HCB-G > DCB > DCB-G for Cu(II) and phosphate. Drying leading to contraction of bead significantly reduced adsorption rate due to reduce the porosity of chitosan. In addition, crosslingking also negatively effect on adsorption rate. When compared with Cu(II) using hydrogel bead, phosphate showed higher value than Cu(II) for PFO and PSO. The application of ID showed that both hydrogel beads (HCB and HCB-G) obtained a very low R2 ranging to 0.37 to 0.81, while R2 can be obtained to over 0.9 for DCB and DCB-G, indicting ID is appropriate for low adsorption rate.

  • To improve the capacity and stability of natural graphite, the electrochemical performances were investigated by using the prepared natural graphite coated with petroleum pitch for anode materials. The pitch coated natural graphite was prepared using a dry speed mixer by adjusting the rotation speed of the mixer, time, composition of graphite and softening point of the pitch. The physical properties of the anode material were analyzed using SEM, TEM, and PSD. The electrochemical performances were investigated by cycle, C-rate, EIS and CV test. When the pitch coated natural graphite was tested in the condition of 9000 RPM, 10 wt%, 2 h, and softening point of 150 ℃, it showed the highest capacity of 324.5 mAh/g at 0.1 C and a capacity retention rate of 98.9% after 50 cycles. In the test for evaluating rate performance, the capacity retention rate (5 C/0.1 C) was 80.3% and was improved by about 1.7 times over the pristine natural graphite.

  • We experienced a case of congenital tricuspid stenosis. The patient was 5 years old boy. The 2D-echo 4 cardiac catheterization with cineangiogram revealed as Tricuspid Stenosis, associated with functioning patent foramen ovale & mild R.V hypoplasia. The lesion was successfully corrected by TV commissurotomy & closure of PFO. Postoperatively, moderate degree of tricuspid regurgitation was remained.

  • Endocardial cushion defects is a rare congenital heart disease. We experienced two complete endocardial cushion defects[ECD] and three partial ones, which were successfully repaired between 1986 and 1987. In a patient of complete ECD, associated with secundum ASD, Pulmonary stenosis and Down`s syndrome, the atrial and ventricular septal defects were closed separately with bovine pericardium and Dacron patches respectively, and then pulmonary stenosis was relieved by transannular patch widening in addition to valvotomy and infundibulectomy. In another patient with complete ECD, small interventricular communication was closed with simple suture with pledget and primum ASD was closed with pericardial patch. In first patient of partial ECD, primum atrial septal defect was closed with pericardial patch. In second patient of partial ECD, associated with secundum ASD, direct closure of secundum ASD and patch closure of primum ASD were performed. In third patient of partial ECD, associated with patent foramen ovale[PFO], primum ASD was closed with bovine pericardial patch and PFO was closed directly. In all patient except third patient of partial ECD, mitral clefts were closed with three or four 5-0 prolene interrupted sutures. Transient A-V dissociation developed postoperatively in two patients and transient nodal rhythm developed postoperatively in other two patients. Heart failure in complete ECD with Down`s syndrome was overcome with medical treatment.

  • Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, and with VSD were uncommon congenital anomalies with high mortality in the neonatal period. Those survivals depend on an adequate interatrial communication or interventricular communication and pulmonary flow via large aortopulmonary collateral including PDA. Recently we experienced surgical correction of 2 cases pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum and with VSD. On case 1, 10-years old male patient was confirmed as pulmonary valvular membranous atresia with intact ventricular septum combined with large functioning PFO and mild tricuspid incompetence. So we performed total correction under the E.C.C, that was PDA ligation, RVOT reconstruction with monocusp valved outflow patch [16mm], repair of tricuspid insufficiency and closure of PFO. Post-operative hemodynamic result was good and there was no event during hospital course. On case 2, 16-years old female patient was diagnosed as pulmonary atresia with VSD and PDA. MPA was absent, remained fibrous cord like remnant and type of VSD was subaortic defect [3cm by 3cm in the size]. PDA was located at the usual site. Under the E.C.C. VSD patch closure through the right ventriculotomy, anastomosis between the right ventricular outflow tract and the pulmonary bifurcated site with the extra-cardiac Hancock valved conduit [22cm] and PDA ligation were performed.
