An HPLC method for determination of CDRI 99/411 with its starting material and intermediates has been developed and validated for in process quality control and stability studies. The analytical performance parameters such as linearity, precision, accuracy, specificity, limit of detection （LOD） and lower limit of quantification （LLOQ） were determined according to International Conference on Harmonization ICH Q2（R1） guidelines. HPLC separation was achieved on a RP-select B Lichrosphere~ column （250 mm x 4 ram, 5 lam, Merck） using water containing 0.1% glacial acetic acid and acetonitrile as the mobile phase in a gradient elution. The eluents were monitored by a photo diode array detector at 245 and 275 nm. Based on signal to noise ratio of 3 and 10 the LOD of CDRI 99/411 was 0.55 μg/mL, while the LLOQ was 1.05 μg/mL. The calibration curves were linear in the range of 1.05- 68 μg/mL. Precision of the method was determined by inter- and intra-assay variations within the acceptable range.展开更多

The study was performed in a 16-slice Computed Tomography (CT) system of LightSpeed RT16 Xtra CT scanner. Quality control was done using a vendor-provided QA Phantom, and the six aspects of image quality were measured. For CT dosimetry, Computed Tomography Dose index volume (CTDIvol) was performed using Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDI) Phantom. CTDI Phantom consists of three parts: Pediatric Head, Adult Head, and Adult Body Phantom. A 10 cm long pencil ion chamber DCT-10 was used to measure the dose at different positions inside the CTDI Phantom. Data were collected using MagicMax Universal software. For dose estimation of the CTDIvol Report of AAPM Task Group, 96 and 111 formalisms were used. For Pediatric Head, Adult Head, and Adult Body Phantom the measured CIDIvol was 61.04 mGy, 48.11 mGy, and 18.08 mGy respectively. The study has shown deviations of 7%, 15%, and 19% between estimated and console-displayed doses for Pediatric Head, Adult Head, and Adult Body scan techniques respectively. The six aspects of image quality measured by QA Phantom were found to be compatible with the specifications of the machine and CTDIvol measured by CTDI Phantom were found within a tolerance limit of ±20%.

文摘In order to further enhance the numerical application of weather radar radial velocity,this paper proposes a quality control scheme for weather radar radial velocity from the perspective of data assimilation.The proposed scheme is based on the WRFDA(Weather Research and Forecasting Data Assimilation)system and utilizes the biweight algorithm to perform quality control on weather radar radial velocity data.A series of quality control tests conducted over the course of one month demonstrate that the scheme can be seamlessly integrated into the data assimilation process.The scheme is characterized by its simplicity,fast implementation,and ease of maintenance.By determining an appropri-ate threshold for quality control,the percentage of outliers identified by the scheme remains highly stable over time.Moreover,the mean errors and standard deviations of the O-B(observation-minus-background)values are significantly reduced,improving the overall data quality.The main information and spatial distribution features of the data are pre-served effectively.After quality control,the distribution of the O-B Probability Density Function is adjusted in a manner that brings it closer to a Gaussian distribution.This adjustment is beneficial for the subsequent data assimilation process,contributing to more accurate numerical weather predictions.Thus,the proposed quality control scheme provides a valuable tool for improving weather radar data quality and enhancing numerical forecasting performance.

文摘Age-related macular degeneration(AMD)is a disease that affects the vision of elderly individuals worldwide.Although current therapeutics have shown effectiveness against AMD,some patients may remain unresponsive and continue to experience disease progression.Therefore,in-depth knowledge of the mechanism underlying AMD pathogenesis is urgently required to identify potential drug targets for AMD treatment.Recently,studies have suggested that dysfunction of mitochondria can lead to the aggregation of reactive oxygen species(ROS)and activation of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase(cGAS)/stimulator of interferon genes(STING)innate immunity pathways,ultimately resulting in sterile inflammation and cell death in various cells,such as cardiomyocytes and macrophages.Therefore,combining strategies targeting mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammatory mediators may hold great potential in facilitating AMD management.Notably,emerging evidence indicates that natural products targeting mitochondrial quality control(MQC)and the cGAS/STING innate immunity pathways exhibit promise in treating AMD.Here,we summarize phytochemicals that could directly or indirectly influence the MQC and the cGAS/STING innate immunity pathways,as well as their interconnected mediators,which have the potential to mitigate oxidative stress and suppress excessive inflammatory responses,thereby hoping to offer new insights into therapeutic interventions for AMD treatment.
