Abstract
Objective: To summarize the resistance of rifampicin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis to anti-tuberculosis drugs in group A. Methods: In the retrospective study, a total of 1 226 clinical isolates from suspected multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Beijing TB control system from 2016 to 2021 were identified as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) strains by MPB64 antigen detection test. Rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) strains were screened by the phenotypic drug susceptibility using the proportion method. The drug susceptibilities of Levofloxacin(LFX), Moxifloxacin(MFX), Bedaquiline(BDQ) and Linezolid(LZD)were detected by the phenotypic drug susceptibility with microplate method. The drug resistance rate, drug resistance level and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) distribution of four anti-tuberculosis drugs in group A were analyzed. We calculated the demographic distribution of RR-TB, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis(MDR-TB), pre-extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (pre-XDR-TB), extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) patients and the cross resistance of LFX and MFX, then summarized the drug-resistance spectrum of BDQ-resistant and LZD-resistant strains and the treatment outcome of RR-TB patients. Measurement data were expressed as rate or composition ratio,χ2 test was used between and within groups, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Among the 1 226 suspected multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis patients, the detection rates of RR/MDR/pre-XDR/XDR-TB patients were 20.8%(255/1 226), 15.2%(186/1 226), 5.7%(70/1 226), 0.5%(6/1 226), respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of patients with the four types of drug resistance in terms of age and treatment history (χ2=14.95, P=0.020;χ2=15.91, P=0.001). The drug resistance rates of LFX, MFX, BDQ and LZD in RR-TB patients were 27.5% (70/255), 27.5% (70/255), 0.4% (1/255) and 2.4% (6/255), respectively. The MICs of LFX, MFX and LZD-susceptible MTB were mainly at 0.25 mg/L, and the MIC of BDQ-susceptible MTB was mainly concentrated at 0.03 mg/L. 25.1% (64/255) of the RR MTB were resistant to both LFX and MFX, and 6 strains were resistant to LFX or MFX, showing incomplete two-way cross resistance. One BDQ-resistant strain and six LZD-resistant strains were detected. The treatment success rate of RR-TB patients was 74.4% (151/203), and there were statistically significant differences in treatment outcomes between resistant and sensitive patients on the LFX-containing treatment regimen (Fisher's exact test, P=0.012). Conclusions: The prevalence of fluoroquinolones (LFX and MFX) resistance in rifampicin-resistant MTB is very serious. LFX and MFX show incomplete bidirectional cross-resistance. BDQ and LZD have the most promising future in the treatment of MDR-TB. Improve drug-resistance testing will help to further improve the success rate of treatment.

Abstract
We present the precision measurements of 11 years of daily cosmic positron fluxes in the rigidity range from 1.00 to 41.9 GV based on 3.4×10^{6} positrons collected with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) aboard the International Space Station. The positron fluxes show distinctly different time variations from the electron fluxes at short and long timescales. A hysteresis between the electron fluxes and the positron fluxes is observed with a significance greater than 5σ at rigidities below 8.5 GV. On the contrary, the positron fluxes and the proton fluxes show similar time variation. Remarkably, we found that positron fluxes are modulated more than proton fluxes with a significance greater than 5σ for rigidities below 7 GV. These continuous daily positron fluxes, together with AMS daily electron, proton, and helium fluxes over an 11-year solar cycle, provide unique input to the understanding of both the charge-sign and mass dependencies of cosmic rays in the heliosphere.

Abstract
We report the properties of primary cosmic-ray sulfur (S) in the rigidity range 2.15 GV to 3.0 TV based on 0.38×10^{6} sulfur nuclei collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment (AMS). We observed that above 90 GV the rigidity dependence of the S flux is identical to the rigidity dependence of Ne-Mg-Si fluxes, which is different from the rigidity dependence of the He-C-O-Fe fluxes. We found that, similar to N, Na, and Al cosmic rays, over the entire rigidity range, the traditional primary cosmic rays S, Ne, Mg, and C all have sizeable secondary components, and the S, Ne, and Mg fluxes are well described by the weighted sum of the primary silicon flux and the secondary fluorine flux, and the C flux is well described by the weighted sum of the primary oxygen flux and the secondary boron flux. The primary and secondary contributions of the traditional primary cosmic-ray fluxes of C, Ne, Mg, and S (even Z elements) are distinctly different from the primary and secondary contributions of the N, Na, and Al (odd Z elements) fluxes. The abundance ratio at the source for S/Si is 0.167±0.006, for Ne/Si is 0.833±0.025, for Mg/Si is 0.994±0.029, and for C/O is 0.836±0.025. These values are determined independent of cosmic-ray propagation.

Abstract
We present the precision measurements of 11 years of daily cosmic electron fluxes in the rigidity interval from 1.00 to 41.9 GV based on 2.0×10^{8} electrons collected with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) aboard the International Space Station. The electron fluxes exhibit variations on multiple timescales. Recurrent electron flux variations with periods of 27 days, 13.5 days, and 9 days are observed. We find that the electron fluxes show distinctly different time variations from the proton fluxes. Remarkably, a hysteresis between the electron flux and the proton flux is observed with a significance of greater than 6σ at rigidities below 8.5 GV. Furthermore, significant structures in the electron-proton hysteresis are observed corresponding to sharp structures in both fluxes. This continuous daily electron data provide unique input to the understanding of the charge sign dependence of cosmic rays over an 11-year solar cycle.

Abstract
We present the precision measurement of 2824 daily helium fluxes in cosmic rays from May 20, 2011 to October 29, 2019 in the rigidity interval from 1.71 to 100 GV based on 7.6×10^{8} helium nuclei collected with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) aboard the International Space Station. The helium flux and the helium to proton flux ratio exhibit variations on multiple timescales. In nearly all the time intervals from 2014 to 2018, we observed recurrent helium flux variations with a period of 27 days. Shorter periods of 9 days and 13.5 days are observed in 2016. The strength of all three periodicities changes with time and rigidity. In the entire time period, we found that below ∼7 GV the helium flux exhibits larger time variations than the proton flux, and above ∼7 GV the helium to proton flux ratio is time independent. Remarkably, below 2.4 GV a hysteresis between the helium to proton flux ratio and the helium flux was observed at greater than the 7σ level. This shows that at low rigidity the modulation of the helium to proton flux ratio is different before and after the solar maximum in 2014.

Abstract
We present the precision measurement of the daily proton fluxes in cosmic rays from May 20, 2011 to October 29, 2019 (a total of 2824 days or 114 Bartels rotations) in the rigidity interval from 1 to 100 GV based on 5.5×10^{9} protons collected with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer aboard the International Space Station. The proton fluxes exhibit variations on multiple timescales. From 2014 to 2018, we observed recurrent flux variations with a period of 27 days. Shorter periods of 9 days and 13.5 days are observed in 2016. The strength of all three periodicities changes with time and rigidity. The rigidity dependence of the 27-day periodicity is different from the rigidity dependences of 9-day and 13.5-day periods. Unexpectedly, the strength of 9-day and 13.5-day periodicities increases with increasing rigidities up to ∼10 GV and ∼20 GV, respectively. Then the strength of the periodicities decreases with increasing rigidity up to 100 GV.

Abstract
We report the properties of sodium (Na) and aluminum (Al) cosmic rays in the rigidity range 2.15 GV to 3.0 TV based on 0.46 million sodium and 0.51 million aluminum nuclei collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment on the International Space Station. We found that Na and Al, together with nitrogen (N), belong to a distinct cosmic ray group. In this group, we observe that, similar to the N flux, both the Na flux and Al flux are well described by the sums of a primary cosmic ray component (proportional to the silicon flux) and a secondary cosmic ray component (proportional to the fluorine flux). The fraction of the primary component increases with rigidity for the N, Na, and Al fluxes and becomes dominant at the highest rigidities. The Na/Si and Al/Si abundance ratios at the source, 0.036±0.003 for Na/Si and 0.103±0.004 for Al/Si, are determined independent of cosmic ray propagation.

Abstract
Precise knowledge of the charge and rigidity dependence of the secondary cosmic ray fluxes and the secondary-to-primary flux ratios is essential in the understanding of cosmic ray propagation. We report the properties of heavy secondary cosmic ray fluorine F in the rigidity R range 2.15 GV to 2.9 TV based on 0.29 million events collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment on the International Space Station. The fluorine spectrum deviates from a single power law above 200 GV. The heavier secondary-to-primary F/Si flux ratio rigidity dependence is distinctly different from the lighter B/O (or B/C) rigidity dependence. In particular, above 10 GV, the F/Si/B/O ratio can be described by a power law R^{δ} with δ=0.052±0.007. This shows that the propagation properties of heavy cosmic rays, from F to Si, are different from those of light cosmic rays, from He to O, and that the secondary cosmic rays have two classes.

Abstract
We report the observation of new properties of primary iron (Fe) cosmic rays in the rigidity range 2.65 GV to 3.0 TV with 0.62×10^{6} iron nuclei collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment on the International Space Station. Above 80.5 GV the rigidity dependence of the cosmic ray Fe flux is identical to the rigidity dependence of the primary cosmic ray He, C, and O fluxes, with the Fe/O flux ratio being constant at 0.155±0.006. This shows that unexpectedly Fe and He, C, and O belong to the same class of primary cosmic rays which is different from the primary cosmic rays Ne, Mg, and Si class.

Abstract
We report the observation of new properties of primary cosmic rays, neon (Ne), magnesium (Mg), and silicon (Si), measured in the rigidity range 2.15 GV to 3.0 TV with 1.8×10^{6} Ne, 2.2×10^{6} Mg, and 1.6×10^{6} Si nuclei collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment on the International Space Station. The Ne and Mg spectra have identical rigidity dependence above 3.65 GV. The three spectra have identical rigidity dependence above 86.5 GV, deviate from a single power law above 200 GV, and harden in an identical way. Unexpectedly, above 86.5 GV the rigidity dependence of primary cosmic rays Ne, Mg, and Si spectra is different from the rigidity dependence of primary cosmic rays He, C, and O. This shows that the Ne, Mg, and Si and He, C, and O are two different classes of primary cosmic rays.

Abstract
Precision measurements by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) on the International Space Station of ^{3}He and ^{4}He fluxes are presented. The measurements are based on 100 million ^{4}He nuclei in the rigidity range from 2.1 to 21 GV and 18 million ^{3}He from 1.9 to 15 GV collected from May 2011 to November 2017. We observed that the ^{3}He and ^{4}He fluxes exhibit nearly identical variations with time. The relative magnitude of the variations decreases with increasing rigidity. The rigidity dependence of the ^{3}He/^{4}He flux ratio is measured for the first time. Below 4 GV, the ^{3}He/^{4}He flux ratio was found to have a significant long-term time dependence. Above 4 GV, the ^{3}He/^{4}He flux ratio was found to be time independent, and its rigidity dependence is well described by a single power law ∝R^{Δ} with Δ=-0.294±0.004. Unexpectedly, this value is in agreement with the B/O and B/C spectral indices at high energies.

Abstract
Precision results on cosmic-ray electrons are presented in the energy range from 0.5 GeV to 1.4 TeV based on 28.1×10^{6} electrons collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station. In the entire energy range the electron and positron spectra have distinctly different magnitudes and energy dependences. The electron flux exhibits a significant excess starting from 42.1_{-5.2}^{+5.4} GeV compared to the lower energy trends, but the nature of this excess is different from the positron flux excess above 25.2±1.8 GeV. Contrary to the positron flux, which has an exponential energy cutoff of 810_{-180}^{+310} GeV, at the 5σ level the electron flux does not have an energy cutoff below 1.9 TeV. In the entire energy range the electron flux is well described by the sum of two power law components. The different behavior of the cosmic-ray electrons and positrons measured by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer is clear evidence that most high energy electrons originate from different sources than high energy positrons.

Abstract
Precision measurements of cosmic ray positrons are presented up to 1 TeV based on 1.9 million positrons collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station. The positron flux exhibits complex energy dependence. Its distinctive properties are (a) a significant excess starting from 25.2±1.8 GeV compared to the lower-energy, power-law trend, (b) a sharp dropoff above 284_{-64}^{+91} GeV, (c) in the entire energy range the positron flux is well described by the sum of a term associated with the positrons produced in the collision of cosmic rays, which dominates at low energies, and a new source term of positrons, which dominates at high energies, and (d) a finite energy cutoff of the source term of E_{s}=810_{-180}^{+310} GeV is established with a significance of more than 4σ. These experimental data on cosmic ray positrons show that, at high energies, they predominantly originate either from dark matter annihilation or from other astrophysical sources.

Abstract
We present high-statistics, precision measurements of the detailed time and energy dependence of the primary cosmic-ray electron flux and positron flux over 79 Bartels rotations from May 2011 to May 2017 in the energy range from 1 to 50 GeV. For the first time, the charge-sign dependent modulation during solar maximum has been investigated in detail by leptons alone. Based on 23.5×10^{6} events, we report the observation of short-term structures on the timescale of months coincident in both the electron flux and the positron flux. These structures are not visible in the e^{+}/e^{-} flux ratio. The precision measurements across the solar polarity reversal show that the ratio exhibits a smooth transition over 830±30 days from one value to another. The midpoint of the transition shows an energy dependent delay relative to the reversal and changes by 260±30 days from 1 to 6 GeV.

Abstract
A precision measurement of the nitrogen flux with rigidity (momentum per unit charge) from 2.2 GV to 3.3 TV based on 2.2×10^{6} events is presented. The detailed rigidity dependence of the nitrogen flux spectral index is presented for the first time. The spectral index rapidly hardens at high rigidities and becomes identical to the spectral indices of primary He, C, and O cosmic rays above ∼700 GV. We observed that the nitrogen flux Φ_{N} can be presented as the sum of its primary component Φ_{N}^{P} and secondary component Φ_{N}^{S}, Φ_{N}=Φ_{N}^{P}+Φ_{N}^{S}, and we found Φ_{N} is well described by the weighted sum of the oxygen flux Φ_{O} (primary cosmic rays) and the boron flux Φ_{B} (secondary cosmic rays), with Φ_{N}^{P}=(0.090±0.002)×Φ_{O} and Φ_{N}^{S}=(0.62±0.02)×Φ_{B} over the entire rigidity range. This corresponds to a change of the contribution of the secondary cosmic ray component in the nitrogen flux from 70% at a few GV to <30% above 1 TV.

Abstract
We present the precision measurement from May 2011 to May 2017 (79 Bartels rotations) of the proton fluxes at rigidities from 1 to 60 GV and the helium fluxes from 1.9 to 60 GV based on a total of 1×10^{9} events collected with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer aboard the International Space Station. This measurement is in solar cycle 24, which has the solar maximum in April 2014. We observed that, below 40 GV, the proton flux and the helium flux show nearly identical fine structures in both time and relative amplitude. The amplitudes of the flux structures decrease with increasing rigidity and vanish above 40 GV. The amplitudes of the structures are reduced during the time period, which started one year after solar maximum, when the proton and helium fluxes steadily increase. Above ∼3 GV the p/He flux ratio is time independent. We observed that below ∼3 GV the ratio has a long-term decrease coinciding with the period during which the fluxes start to rise.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To propose a kind of robotic ankle-foot rehabilitation system for children with cerebral palsy and to preliminarily verify its feasibility in clinical application. METHODS A robot assisted ankle-foot rehabilitation system was specially designed and developed for children with cerebral palsy and a preliminary clinical study was conducted in Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Peking University First Hospital. Modified Tardieu Scale and joint biomechanical properties (ankle plantar flexion resistance torque under different ankle dorsiflexion angles) were measured to analyze the muscle tone and soft tissue compliance of the ankle plantar flexors pre- and post-robotic training intervention. Six children with cerebral palsy (4 girls and 2 boys, mean age: 7 years) were recruited in this study. Each subject received 5 session robotic training and each session included 10-cycle passive stretching and static hold. SPSS 19.0 software was used for data statistical analysis. RESULTS Both R1 and R2 angles of Modified Tardieu Scale for ankle plantar flexors after training were significantly higher than those before the treatments (Gastrocnemius: PR1=0.003, PR2=0.029; Soleus: PR1=0.002, PR2=0.034). The difference between R2 and R1 was of no statistical difference before and after the training (P=0.067 and P=0.067, respectively). After training, the ankle plantar flexion resistance torque under different dorsiflexion angles (0°, 10°, 20°, 30°) were significantly reduced than those before training (P=0.001, P=0.001, P=0.014, P=0.002, respectively). CONCLUSION The robot assisted ankle-foot rehabilitation system can improve the contracture and soft tissue compliance of cerebral palsy children's ankle plantar flexors. All the children in the study were well tolerated and interested with the training, easy to accept and cooperate with it. This device may be suitable for application in the rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy. However, further randomized clinical trials with larger sample size are still needed to verify the long term efficacy of this device.

Abstract
We report on the observation of new properties of secondary cosmic rays Li, Be, and B measured in the rigidity (momentum per unit charge) range 1.9 GV to 3.3 TV with a total of 5.4×10^{6} nuclei collected by AMS during the first five years of operation aboard the International Space Station. The Li and B fluxes have an identical rigidity dependence above 7 GV and all three fluxes have an identical rigidity dependence above 30 GV with the Li/Be flux ratio of 2.0±0.1. The three fluxes deviate from a single power law above 200 GV in an identical way. This behavior of secondary cosmic rays has also been observed in the AMS measurement of primary cosmic rays He, C, and O but the rigidity dependences of primary cosmic rays and of secondary cosmic rays are distinctly different. In particular, above 200 GV, the secondary cosmic rays harden more than the primary cosmic rays.

Abstract
We report the observation of new properties of primary cosmic rays He, C, and O measured in the rigidity (momentum/charge) range 2 GV to 3 TV with 90×10^{6} helium, 8.4×10^{6} carbon, and 7.0×10^{6} oxygen nuclei collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) during the first five years of operation. Above 60 GV, these three spectra have identical rigidity dependence. They all deviate from a single power law above 200 GV and harden in an identical way.

Abstract
Knowledge of the rigidity dependence of the boron to carbon flux ratio (B/C) is important in understanding the propagation of cosmic rays. The precise measurement of the B/C ratio from 1.9 GV to 2.6 TV, based on 2.3 million boron and 8.3 million carbon nuclei collected by AMS during the first 5 years of operation, is presented. The detailed variation with rigidity of the B/C spectral index is reported for the first time. The B/C ratio does not show any significant structures in contrast to many cosmic ray models that require such structures at high rigidities. Remarkably, above 65 GV, the B/C ratio is well described by a single power law R^{Δ} with index Δ=-0.333±0.014(fit)±0.005(syst), in good agreement with the Kolmogorov theory of turbulence which predicts Δ=-1/3 asymptotically.

Abstract
A precision measurement by AMS of the antiproton flux and the antiproton-to-proton flux ratio in primary cosmic rays in the absolute rigidity range from 1 to 450 GV is presented based on 3.49×10^{5} antiproton events and 2.42×10^{9} proton events. The fluxes and flux ratios of charged elementary particles in cosmic rays are also presented. In the absolute rigidity range ∼60 to ∼500 GV, the antiproton p[over ¯], proton p, and positron e^{+} fluxes are found to have nearly identical rigidity dependence and the electron e^{-} flux exhibits a different rigidity dependence. Below 60 GV, the (p[over ¯]/p), (p[over ¯]/e^{+}), and (p/e^{+}) flux ratios each reaches a maximum. From ∼60 to ∼500 GV, the (p[over ¯]/p), (p[over ¯]/e^{+}), and (p/e^{+}) flux ratios show no rigidity dependence. These are new observations of the properties of elementary particles in the cosmos.

Abstract
Knowledge of the precise rigidity dependence of the helium flux is important in understanding the origin, acceleration, and propagation of cosmic rays. A precise measurement of the helium flux in primary cosmic rays with rigidity (momentum/charge) from 1.9 GV to 3 TV based on 50 million events is presented and compared to the proton flux. The detailed variation with rigidity of the helium flux spectral index is presented for the first time. The spectral index progressively hardens at rigidities larger than 100 GV. The rigidity dependence of the helium flux spectral index is similar to that of the proton spectral index though the magnitudes are different. Remarkably, the spectral index of the proton to helium flux ratio increases with rigidity up to 45 GV and then becomes constant; the flux ratio above 45 GV is well described by a single power law.

Abstract
A precise measurement of the proton flux in primary cosmic rays with rigidity (momentum/charge) from 1 GV to 1.8 TV is presented based on 300 million events. Knowledge of the rigidity dependence of the proton flux is important in understanding the origin, acceleration, and propagation of cosmic rays. We present the detailed variation with rigidity of the flux spectral index for the first time. The spectral index progressively hardens at high rigidities.

Abstract
Gliomas display cellular hierarchies with self-renewing tumorigenic glioma stem cells (GSCs) at the apex. The GSC niches function as a regulator of GSC maintenance, however, the exact components of GSC niches that mediate this process are still far from fully defined. Here, we showed that glioma cells with aberrant mesenchymal phenotypes constitute a mesenchymal niche for GSCs. Using patient-derived specimens, we demonstrated that the paracrine PGI signaling, initiated by mesenchymal glioma cells, induces the self-renewal and tumorigenic potentials of GSCs through induction of KLF4. Treatment of intracranial orthotopic xenografts with shPGI or shKLF4 leads to less lethal potency. Our data therefore suggest that blockade of the PGI-KLF4 pathway may provide a therapeutic strategy against GSC niches.

Abstract
Abstract
The pumping characteristics of several types of screw elements for an intermeshing co-rotating twin screw extruder (ICoTSE) were experimentally studied using molten polystyrene (PS) as a typical non-Newtonian fluid in “LABOTEX30α”. Here, the throughput was regarded as the remainder of drag flow minus pressure flow, based on the previous theoretical and experimental studies with regard to either single or twin-screw extruders. Therefore, the relationship between the throughput and the pressure gradient for a given screw geometry was approximately expressed as a linear dimensionless relation containing two so-called pumping-characteristic parameters which depend on the element geometry and degree of departure of the used fluid from the Newtonian fluid.
The pumping-characteristic parameters for two right-hand flighted screw elements (RF) with leads of 0.938D and 0.703D, a neutral kneading disk (NK) and a blister ring (BR) were experimentally determined, and the RF with a lead of 0.938D was taken as an example to observe the effect of the clearance between it and the barrel wall on its pumping-characteristic. The results show that the linear relationship between the dimensionless throughput and the dimensionless pressure gradient for each type of the screw elements used here is a good approximation, and the clearance in the range used here greatly affects the pumping characteristic of the RF.
Moreover, the degree of filling and the pressure profile in two kinds of screw configurations used for water-injection foaming devolatilization, which consist of elements with different diameters but with the same dimensionless geometry as those used in this work, were predicted and discussed by using the determined pumping-characteristic parameters under the conditions of given throughput of molten PS and screw speed.

Abstract
Abstract
A model for representing polymer devolatilization behavior in a screw extruder with multi-vent sections has been proposed. In this model, an overall film-interface geometry factor (OFIGF) comprised of several local film-interface geometry factors (LFIGF) is used as a measure for the devolatilizing performance of a screw extruder. Moreover, the OFIGF is related to screw geometries and open angles of open areas in vent sections, and dependent on the degree of filling or the flowrate of the fluid and the screw speed. An intermeshing co-rotation twin-screw extruder popularly used was taken as an example to discuss the effect of the OFIGF on its devolatilizing performance. For this purpose, a solution of how to calculate the local film-interface areas and their exposure time in a venthole unfitted zone (VUfZ) and a venthole fitted zone (VFZ) with an open area was presented. Furthermore, several interesting results about how the OFIGF is affected by flowrate, screw speed, lead, and number of tips were predicted and discussed. The results suggested that the devolatilizing performance of the VFZ is lower than that of the VUfZ due to decrease in the surface renewal effect there, and a plot of ln {(wout – w*)/(win – w*)} against (N1/2/Q) in generally used flowrate and screw speed ranges for a given screw geometry does not strictly satisfy a linear relationship due to the filling-degree dependence of the OFIGF.

Abstract
A precision measurement by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station of the positron fraction in primary cosmic rays in the energy range from 0.5 to 350 GeV based on 6.8 × 10(6) positron and electron events is presented. The very accurate data show that the positron fraction is steadily increasing from 10 to ∼ 250 GeV, but, from 20 to 250 GeV, the slope decreases by an order of magnitude. The positron fraction spectrum shows no fine structure, and the positron to electron ratio shows no observable anisotropy. Together, these features show the existence of new physical phenomena.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To confirm the original plant of traditional Chinese drug "Bai Zhi" and to inquire into the cultivation history of "Bai Zhi" and evolution of closely related wild plants of "Bai Zhi". METHOD Various research results obtained were synthesized and discussed according to historical and current data. RESULT Obtained research results, historical and current data showed almost no difference. CONCLUSION 1. Angelica dahurica var. formosana must be the original plant of traditional Chinese drug "Bai Zhi". 2. A. porphyrocaulis should be treated as a variety of A. dahurica, named as A. dahurica var. porphyrocaulis. 3. 4 sorts of Chinese traditional drug "Bai Zhi" (Chuang Bai Zhi, Hang Bai Zhi, Qi Bai Zhi and Yu Bai Zhi) should not be taxonomically distinguished. The history of utilization and cultivation of "Bai Zhi", and the evolutional relation of the closely related wild plants of "Bai Zhi" (A. dahurica, A. dahurica var. formosana, and A. dahurica var. porphyrocaulis) were also discussed.

Abstract
Multicomponent adsorption data of a fermentation broth containing adipoyl-7-amino-3-deacetoxycephalosporanic acid (adipoyl-7-ADCA), a cephalosporin precursor for 7-ADCA, and two key impurities, alpha-hydroxyadipoyl-7-ADCA and alpha-aminoadipoyl-7-ADCA were obtained from batch equilibrium and frontal chromatography tests. Amberlite XAD-1600 was chosen as the resin. A rate model was applied to simulate the chromatograms. An alkaline buffer, which by itself has no affinity for the resin, was used as the eluent. The widely used reversed-phase modulator model is inaccurate in explaining the stepwise elution data. A new model, the induced competition model, has been developed to account for apparent retention of the buffer in the presence of adsorbed species. Close agreement between the simulations and the data was achieved with the new model.

Abstract
In simulated moving-bed (SMB) applications, throughput and desorbent consumption are two key factors that control process cost. For a given adsorbent volume and product purity requirements, throughput and desorbent consumption depend on desorbent composition, column configuration, column length to diameter ratio, and adsorbent particle size. In this study, these design parameters are systematically examined for paclitaxel purification. The results show that if adsorbent particle size, column dimensions and column configuration are fixed, the higher the product purity required, the lower the throughput. If product purity and yield are fixed, the larger the solute migration speed ratio, the higher the throughput, and the lower the desorbent consumption. If total bed volume and product purities are fixed, the longer the separation zones, the higher the throughput, but the higher the desorbent flow-rate. An intermediate configuration gives the minimum desorbent consumption. If there are no limits on pressure drop or zone flow-rate, the larger the column length to diameter ratio, the smaller the adsorbent particle size, the higher the throughput, and the lower the desorbent consumption. If the maximum zone flow-rate is controlled by the pressure drop limit and not by the standing waves requirement, the longer the columns, the lower the zone flow-rates and the lower the throughput. For 150 microns adsorbent particles and a maximum zone flow-rate of 300 ml/min, a design with optimal throughput and desorbent consumption is found for paclitaxel purification.

Abstract
This investigation was initiated to develop a method to provide patients with a fixed provisional prosthesis placed at the time of implant placement. Sixty-three standard 3.75-mm Nobel Biocare implants of varying lengths were placed into mandibular sites in 10 patients and followed for up to 10 years. Twenty-eight implants were immediately loaded at implant placement, providing support for fixed provisional prostheses, while 35 adjacent implants were allowed to heal submerged and stress-free. Following a 3-month healing period, the submerged implants were exposed and definitive reconstruction was accomplished. All 10 prostheses supported by 28 implants placed into immediate function at the time of implant placement were successful during the 3-month healing period. Of these 28 implants placed into immediate function, 4 ultimately failed. Of the 35 submerged implants, all are osseointegrated and in function to date. Life-table analysis demonstrates an overall 10-year survival rate of 93.4% for all implants. The 10-year life-table analysis of survival is 84.7% for immediately loaded implants and 100% for submerged implants. Statistical analysis of the submerged versus immediately loaded implants demonstrates failure rates for immediately loaded implants to be significantly higher (P = .022 by the log rank test). These data demonstrate that although mandibular implants can be successfully placed into immediate function in the short term to support fixed provisional prostheses, long-term prognosis is guarded for those implants placed into immediate function distal to the incisor region.

Abstract
A Chinese patient who presented painful disability of right hip was diagnosed as having type 1 Gaucher disease four years later when hepatosplenomegaly was found. Splenectomy was performed but her condition did not improve. So human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) was performed. The transplantation course was smooth. Although her bone marrow was in mixed chimeric state, symptoms disappeared and her growth caught up with normal level after BMT. Gaucher disease should be considered in cases with hepatosplenomegaly and bone disorder of unknown causes. Allogeneic BMT is an effective treatment, but the treatment-related risk should be seriously evaluated and the late complications should be closely monitored.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Monteggia fracture rarely occurs in children. If it occurs, type I fracture is most commonly seen. We study the functional results of nonsurgical management in acute cases. METHODS From July, 1988 through October, 1994, we encountered 15 cases of acute Monteggia fractures, accounting for 2.3% of forearm fractures. Twelve were males and three were females, at an average age of 7 years and 10 months. Nine fractures occurred on left non-dominant side, six occurred on right dominant side. There were eleven type I (73.3%), no type II, three type III (20%), and one type IV (6.7%) fractures. All of these patients received closed reduction with long arm casting, and the most stable position of fracture was supination of the forearm and flexion of the elbow. RESULTS After follow-up for an average of 45.9 months, all fractures were found to unite without residual deformity of ulna or dislocation of the radial head. The functional results were excellent. Posterior interosseous nerve palsy occurred in one patient before treatment, and recovered spontaneously. CONCLUSIONS Unlike adults, children with Monteggia fractures can get excellent results from closed reduction with long arm casting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of anterior tibial spine (ATS) fracture in children is in controversy. Previous studies have shown that most of the children who sustained ATS fractures have objective evidence of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) laxity at follow-up, but detailed biomechanical analysis of the knee joint has seldom been performed. METHODS Eight ATS fractures in children at a mean age of 12 years were treated from 1989 to 1994. Two were of Meyer's classification type I, 3 were of type II, and 3 were of type III. The treatment varied from casting to open reduction & internal fixation (ORIF) by pulling through suture or biofix absorbable screw. Patients were followed with radiological, clinical and biomechanical analysis. KT 1000 knee arthrometer was used to evaluate the laxity of ACL. Cybex isokinetic machine was used to evaluate knee extensor and flexor strength. RESULTS During an average follow-up period of 47 months, all fractures showed to unite well on X-ray except 1 untreated type I fracture who had malunion. Only one had subjective complaint of instability, but 3 had clinical signs of instability. Objective evidence of laxity, determined by KT-1000 arthrometer, was noted in 4 patients. Decreased muscle strength, determined by Cybex isokinetic machine, was more prominent in hamstrings than in quadriceps. CONCLUSIONS Patients with milder ATS fracture (type I & II), if treated inappropriately, may still result in ACL laxity and knee muscle strength deficiency. Type III ATS fractures, if treated well by ORIF, tend to recover nearly normal ACL function and muscle strength.

Abstract
Achondroplasia is the most common form of dwarfism in humans. A recurrent glycine-to-arginine mutation at codon 380 (G380R) of the transmembrane domain of fibroblast growth factor receptor-3 (FGFR-3) was identified in the majority of Western and Japanese patients, which is uncommon in other autosomal dominant genetic diseases. To determine whether this mutation is also common in Chinese patients, we examined the G380R mutation in Chinese patients with achondroplasia. Of ten patients studied, including eight sporadic cases and one family with two affected members, all have the same G380R mutation with a G-to-A transition. Our results support the argument that the G380R mutation of FGFR-3 is the most frequent mutation causing achondroplasia across different populations.

Abstract
Although membrane adsorption of plasma proteins is one of several factors determining the biocompatibility and mass transfer characteristics of a hemodialyzer, this process has not been evaluated rigorously. We performed an equilibrium and kinetic analysis of the binding of proteins of differing molecular weight to highly permeable membranes of differing hydrophobicity and surface change. Hydrophobic, anionic polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and hydrophilic, uncharged cellulose triacetate (CT) membrane fragments were incubated in buffer containing radioiodinated beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2m) or bovine serum albumin (BSA). From an initial solution concentration of 50 mg/liter, both membranes adsorbed significantly more beta 2m than BSA at equilibrium (PAN, 352 +/- 30 vs. 32.1 +/- 2.4 ng; CT, 87.0 +/- 0.6 vs. 30.8 +/- 1.7 ng). These results were consistent with membrane pore exclusion of BSA. Comparison of the slopes of the equilibrium isotherm lines (concentration range, 0 to 220 mg/liter) showed the PAN binding affinity for beta 2m and BSA was 28 and 1.4 times that of CT, respectively. In kinetic studies, the approach to equilibrium versus (time)1/2 was assessed. For all protein-membrane combinations, this relationship was linear, consistent with a diffusion-controlled process. This latter characteristic permitted the determination of beta 2m membrane diffusivity values for both PAN and CT, which were found to be 0.30 and 3.25 x 10(-7) cm2/sec, respectively. These data suggest membrane hydrophobicity more significantly influences the binding of low-molecular weight proteins than that of pore-excluded proteins. In addition, these results demonstrate electrostatic membrane-protein interactions may influence the kinetics of both the adsorption and transmembrane mass transfer of plasma proteins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children with muscular torticollis treated before the age of 1 year respond well to conservative treatment. Surgical correction is indicated only in resistant cases. Nevertheless, there is still controversy about the results and the type of operation in the management of neglected older children. METHODS Seventeen patients, at a mean age of 9 years and 5 months, with muscular torticollis were surgically treated between 1986 to 1991. The average follow-up period was 3 years and 4 months. months. Combined approach with open tenotomy at mastoid and clavicular level was the choice of procedure. The outcome for these older children and young adults were evaluated with function and cosmesis. RESULTS Our results showed that the best results can be expected in children before 12 years of age. Late releases give acceptable results, although facial asymmetry and some residual upper dorsal scoliosis remain. Adequate surgical release and intensive postoperative physical therapy are the keystones to a good result. CONCLUSIONS Surgical correction of muscular torticollis in the older children is of benefit for functional and cosmetic recovery, but facial asymmetry is irreversible after 12 years of age.

Abstract
Enhanced extracorporeal removal of beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2m) may prevent the development of dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA). One mechanism of beta 2m removal is membrane adsorption. Therefore, we fundamentally characterized beta 2m adsorption to the highly permeable polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane. Porous and nonporous PAN fragments were incubated in buffer containing 125I-beta 2m. Over a concentration range of 8 to 60 mg/liter, the equilibrium adsorption isotherm was linear (r = 0.99) for porous PAN while the isotherm for nonporous PAN suggested either multilayer binding or adsorption of proteins with differing orientations. In kinetic analyses, the approach to equilibrium versus (time)1/2 was evaluated. For both porous and nonporous PAN, this relationship was linear (r = 0.99), consistent with a diffusion-controlled process. Adsorption reversibility was assessed by comparing the amount bound at varying residence times (0 to 4 hr) to the amount remaining adsorbed after a subsequent incubation in buffer. The fractions remaining bound at 60, 120, and 240 minutes (0.34 +/- 0.02, 0.36 +/- 0.06, and 0.44 +/- 0.03; mean +/- SEM) were significantly greater (P < 0.05) than the value at five minutes (0.23 +/- 0.01). This suggests membrane-induced conformational changes in adsorbed beta 2m. This investigation permits the comparison of beta 2m adsorptive properties of PAN to those of other membrane-based and nonmembrane-based therapies designed to prevent DRA.
