Fever in cancer patients is often due to the following causes: evil qi and toxity stagnancy, disorders of qi and blood, deficiencies of zang and fu organs, and the disorder of yin and yang. The treatments given to cancer patients with a fever are according to five: (a) Excessive inner heat and toxicants: remove heat and the toxicant, induce purgation. We use Cheng-Qi-Tang plus Qing-Wen-Bai-Du-Yin. (b) Tangle of damp and heat, and qi stagnancy: remove damp and heat, smooth the qi channel. We use Gan-Lu-Xiao-Du-Dan or San-Ren-Tang. (c) Obvious blood and heat stagnancy: remove heat and blood stasis. We use Xue-Fu-Zhu-Yu-Tang. (d) Deficiency of spleen qi, inner heat caused by a yin deficiency: nourish spleen qi and yin to remove the inner heat. We use Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi-Tang or Xiao-Jian-Zhong-Tang. (e) Prominent yin deficiency and hectic fever: replenish yin and remove inner heat. We use Qing-Hao-Bie-Jia-Tang or Chai-Qian-Mei-Lian-San. The pathogenesis of fever in cancer patients is complicated. We can see both deficiency and excess in one differentiation. Therefore, we must make sure of it, then we can get the most effective treatment.

Case Study On The Seismic Design Strategy For Post-Quake Functional Buildings In China

Peng Liu,Xue Li,Yu Cheng,Xiaoyu Gao,Jinai Zhang,Yongbin Liu Council on Tall Building and Urban Habitat Korea 2023 International journal of high-rise buildings Vol.12 No.3

In response to China's "Regulations on the Management of Earthquake Resistance of Building Constructions" on the provision of eight types of important buildings to maintain functional after fortified earthquakes occur, "Guidelines for Seismic Design of post-quake functional buildings (Draft for Review)" distinguishes Class I and Class II buildings, and gives the performance objectives and seismic verification requirements for design earthquakes and severe earthquakes respectively. In this paper, a hospital and a school building are selected as examples to design according to the requirements of fortification of Intensity 8 and 7 respectively. Two design strategies, the seismic isolation scheme and energy dissipation scheme, are considered which are evaluated through elastic-plastic dynamic time-history analysis to meet the requirement of post-quake functional buildings. The results show that the seismic isolation design can meet the requirements in the above cases, and the energy dissipation scheme is difficult to meet the requirements of the "Guidelines" on floor acceleration in some cases, for which the scheme shall be made valid through the seismic resilience assessment. The research in this paper can provide a reference for designers to choose schemes for post-quake functional buildings.

The Political Economy of Free Trade Agreements: an Empirical Investigation

( Xue Peng Liu ) 세종대학교 경제통합연구소 (구 세종대학교 국제경제연구소) 2008 Journal of Economic Integration Vol.23 No.2

This paper studies how income inequality affects the probability of signing free trade agreements (FTAs) in a political economy framework. The median voter approach to FTA formation within a Heckscher-Ohlin framework predicts that an increase in inequality lowers the desirability of an FTA if the partner country is relatively labor abundant, ceteris paribus, and raises the desirability of such an agreement if the partner country is relatively capital abundant. The lobbying model based on the argument of the free rider problem, however, offers the opposite predictions. This paper proposes a duration analysis for bilateral FTA panel data and finds strong support for the predictions from the median voter model.

Morphology Characterization and Mechanism Analysis of the Microstructure of LiNbO3 Crystals Fabricated by Using Focused Ion Beam Milling

Xue-Lin Wang,Peng Liu,Qing Huang,Xue-Feng Xu,Sha Yan 한국물리학회 2010 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.56 No.4

This paper reports the basic results obtained from an investigation of the microstructure of lithium niobate (LiNbO3) crystals fabricated by using the focused ion beam (FIB) sputtering method. The morphology characterization of the microstructure is explained in terms of scanning electron microscopy observations based on the geometrical integrity, surface smoothness, cross-sectional area, aspect ratio, etc. The optimized micro-fabrication conditions and the sample morphology characterization are presented, and the sputtering rate of Ga ions for a 30-keV energy milling of the LiNbO3 crystal is calculated, which is lower than the theoretical one gained from “The Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter” (SRIM) sputtering simulation due to the redeposition effect being enhanced with increasing milling depth

Improving the electrochemical performance of polyaniline electrode for supercapacitor by chemical oxidative copolymerization with p-phenylenediamine

Xue Wang,Peng Liu 한국공업화학회 2014 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.20 No.4

A series of poly(aniline-co-p-phenylenediamine) (P(ANI-co-PPDA)) copolymers were synthesized via the chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline with p-phenylenediamine (PPDA) as the comonomer. The structure and morphology of the P(ANI-co-PPDA) copolymers prepared with different feeding ratio of PPDA under different polymerizing temperature were compared with the two homopolymers polyaniline (PANI) and poly(p-phenylenediamine) (PPPDA). It is interesting to find that the electrical conductivity, specific capacitance and cycling stability of the P(ANI-co-PPDA) copolymer electrode materials were obviously improved with certain feeding ratio of PPDA, compared with those two homopolymers.

Liu, Ai-Hua,Peng, Tang-Ming,Wu, Zhen,Xiao, Xin-Ru,Jiang, Chu-Han,Wu, Zhong-Xue,Li, You-Xiang Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2013 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.14 No.9

The cerebellar hemangioblastoma (CHB) has an abundant blood supply and deep anatomical location. Complete surgical resection is generally very difficult. This study investigated the safety and effectiveness of preoperative embolization followed by surgical resection of CHB in a large cohort of patients. A database of 125 CHB patients with surgical resection in Beijing Tiantan Hospital between July 2006 and July 2012 was reviewed. Of those, 46 cases (experimental group) received preoperative embolization, 79 cases (control group) underwent surgery without embolization. Patient demographics, tumor size, duration of surgery, blood loss, blood transfusion, complications and follow-up results were collected and analyzed retrospectively. In the experimental group, the Kamofsky score (KS) was 80-100 in 40 cases (86.9%), 40-70 in 4 cases (8.7%), and below 40 in 2 cases (4.3%). Among 31 cases with follow-up, KS was 80-100 in 27 cases (87.1%), 40-70 in 2 cases (6.5%), and 0 in 2 cases (6.5%). In control group, KS was 80 -100 in 65 cases (82.2%), 40-70 in 6 cases (7.6%), 10-30 in 3 cases (3.8%), and 0 in 3 cases (3.8%). Among 53 cases with follow-up, KS was 80-100 in 44 cases (83.0%), 40-70 in 4 cases (7.5%), 10-30 in 1 case (1.9%), and 0 in 4 cases (7.5%). There were statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups in tumor size, duration of surgery, amount of intraoperative blood loss and transfusion (p<0.01). However, complications (p=0.31) and follow-up results (p=0.76) showed no significant differences between groups. Selective preoperative embolization of those CHB patients with richer blood supply, higher hemorrhage risk, is safe and effective, and is a reliable adjuvant therapy for complete surgical resection of CHB.

Peng Liu,Chi Gong,Xue-Bo Sun K기업경영연구원 2023 KBM Journal(K Business Management Journal) Vol.7 No.3

Currently, due to multiple factors such as global inflation and geopolitical instability, the world economy continues to be in the doldrums, and Chinese enterprises are facing challenges in their development. In order to promote economic innovation and development, the key to implementing the innovation-driven development strategy lies in stimulating entrepreneurship. By analysing the literature related to entrepreneurship in China, it is possible to understand the research hotspots and future trends in this field and provide directions for future research on entrepreneurship. This study used CiteSpace software to visualise and analyse 2,344 articles related to entrepreneurship over the period 1993-2023. The results show that the number of publications in the field of entrepreneurship is generally on the rise, but the core authors have not formed a close co-operative relationship with each other. The research hotspots mainly focus on the following aspects: Firstly, the research on the development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the context of economic growth; Secondly, the research on innovation and entrepreneurship in the context of innovation for all; and the research related to entrepreneurship needed for the new business environment in the context of the digital economy. The future research trend mainly focuses on the research methodology of entrepreneurship in the context of business environment, such as the content of rooted theory and case analysis.

Relationship between the structure and composition of rumen microorganisms and the digestibility of neutral detergent fibre in goats

Kaizhen Liu,Lizhi Wang,Tianhai Yan,Zhisheng Wang,Bai Xue,Quanhui Peng 아세아·태평양축산학회 2019 Animal Bioscience Vol.32 No.1

Objective: This experiment was conducted to compare the structure and composition of ruminal microorganisms in goats with high and low neutral detergent fibre (NDF) digestibility. Methods: Nineteen crossbred goats were used as experimental animals and fed the same total mixed rations during the 30-day pre-treatment and 6-day digestion trialperiods. All faeces were collected during the digestion period for measuring the NDF digestibility. Then, high and the low NDF digestibility individuals were chosen for the high NDF digestibility group (HFD) and low NDF digestibility group (LFD), respectively. Rumen contents were collected for total microbial DNA extraction. The V4 region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene was amplified using universal primers of bacteria and sequenced using high-throughput sequencer. The sequences were mainly analysed by QIIME 1.8.0. Results: A total of 18,694 operational taxonomic units were obtained, within 81.98% belonged to bacteria, 6.64% belonged to archaea and 11.38% was unassigned microorganisms. Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria were the predominant microbial phyla in both groups. At the genus level, the relative abundance of fifteen microorganisms were significantly higher (p<0.05) and six microorganisms were extremely significantly higher (p<0.01) in LFD than HFD. Overall, 176 core shared genera were identified in the two groups. The relative abundance of 2 phyla, 5 classes, 10 orders, 13 families and 15 genera had a negative correlation with NDF digestibility, but only the relative abundance of Pyramidobacter had a positive correlation with NDF digestibility. Conclusion: There were substantial differences in NDF digestibility among the individual goats, and the NDF digestibility had significant correlation with the relative abundance of some ruminal microorganisms.

Three New 11,20-Epoxy-ent-kauranoids from Isodon rubescens

Xu Liu,Ji Zhou Wu,Rui Zhan,Wei Guang Wang,Xue Du,Yan Li,Peng Zhang,Jian Xin Pu,Han Dong Sun 대한약학회 2012 Archives of Pharmacal Research Vol.35 No.12

Three rare and new 11,20-epoxy-ent-kaurane diterpenoids, named jianshirubesins D-F (1-3), along with one known analogue (4), were isolated from the aerial parts of Isodon rubescens. Their structures were established by analysis of spectroscopic data. Found in the MTT assay to evaluate the cytotoxicity of compounds 1, 2, and 4, only 1 could selectively inhibit certain cell lines from proliferating. In addition, a simple structure-activity relationship discussion might suggest a new bioactive moiety, different from the α,β-unsaturated ketone group.
