To estimate the possibility of cryopreservation for larvae of C. sauliae, which is a potential preparation for its artificial reproduction and further research, in this study a protocoi for the cryopreservation of veliger larvae of trumpet shell was optimized. Through a two-step cryopreservation procedure, four kinds of cryoprotectants （ethylene glycol, 1, 2-propanediol, dimethyl sulfoxide and glycerol） were employed at three concentrations （1.0, 1.5 and 2.0molL^-1） respectively and survival rates of larvae were determined after a storage of lh. The larvae frozen with these four cryoprotectants after 1 h storage were cultured, and then survival rates were determined at 24, 72 and 120 h after thawing. Dimethyl sulfoxide at a concentration of 1.5 molL^-1 showed the best protective effect in all experiments （p〈0.05）. And survival rates of larvae frozen with dimethyl sulfoxide were determined after 1, 7 and 15 d of storage. The survival rates of larvae frozen with 1.5 molL^-1 dimethyl sulfoxide after 1 h, 1 d, 7 d and 15 d of storage were 80.77% ±7.51%, 80.34%±11.28%, 83.10%±9.14% and 77.23%±6.22% respectively. No significant differences in survival rates of larvae frozen with dimethyl sulfoxide were observed after various storage periods （p〉0.05）.展开更多

Its efficacy is reported here. Material and Methods: A 71-year-old man who underwent esophagectomy in esophageal cancer 2 years ago was admitted to our hospital with primary pharyngeal cancer. The type of upper endoscope used was EG-580NW (FUJI Film, Tokyo, Japan). The endoscope is a trans-nasal endoscope that can provide high quality endoscopic images. The pharyngeal cancer located at right lateral wall which was previously detected could be observed easily. We asked the patient to blow hard and puff his cheeks with his mouth closed. When inspecting the hypopharynx and the orifice of the esophagus, we told the patient that we would start the trumpet maneuver. Results: After the trumpet maneuver, the pharyngeal mucosa was stretched out. Another primary lesion was observed at the posterior wall of the hypopharynx near the pharyngoesophageal junction. This technique provided a much better view of the lesion than had been possible with trans-oral endoscopy,allowing us to remove the biopsy specimen without sedation. Conclusion: In conclusion, the trumpet maneuver using trans-nasal endoscopy is a useful technique for precise inspection before treatments for patients who have already detected the lesions.展开更多

Countless embedded trumpet-shaped chaotic attractors in two opposite directions are generated from the system as time goes on. The basic dynamical behaviors of the strange chaotic system are investigated. Another more complex 3D system with the same capability of generating countless embedded trumpet-shaped chaotic attractors is also put forward.展开更多

Their formation process can be divided into several steps： first, the dissolution of the silica spheres induced the crystallization of SFS onto the OPPF; second, some pores emerged on the closely packed bumps when being blown by the SiF4 gas; third, when the crystal was blown by continuous gas from the pores, the span of the top became larger than that of the bottom.展开更多

Studies on the artificial larval development of C. lampas sauliae for aquaculture utilization have become especially important due to the finite natural resources. In the present study, the growth and survival rate of the larvae of C. lampas sauliae broodstocks fed three types of starfish diets, Asterina pectinifera Müller & Troschel 1842, A. amurensis Lütken 1871 and their mixture were compared. The larval size increased gradually between day 10 and day 20 after hatching at 15℃ and 20℃. No difference was found in body size and specific growth rate(SGR)(two-way ANOVA; P > 0.05). However, during transition from trochophore to veliger stage 20 days after hatching, significant increases in larval survival and growth rates were observed. The maximum survival rate was observed on day 10. The mean survival rate was 0.463, 0.730 and 0.515 at 15℃, and 0.369, 0.713 and 0.444 at 20 when ℃ A. pectinifera, A. amurensis and their mixture were fed, respectively. The SGR and survival rate of the larvae were definitely influenced by the diets(P < 0.05), and the effect of A. amurensis alone was higher than that of A. pectinifera alone and their mixture.展开更多
