[Preparation and application of CuS/Cu2+ nanoparticles as a resonance light scattering probe].

Cuprum-enriched cuprum sulfide nanoparticles (CuS/Cu2+) were prepared. The nanoparticles are water-soluble. They could be used as a resonance light scattering (RLS) probe in the determination of human gamma globulin, which was proved to be a simple, rapid and specific method. In comparison with organic dye probes, these nanoparticles probes are brighter, more stable against photobleaching, and do not suffer from blinking. Under optimum conditions, the response is linearly proportional to the concentration of gamma globulin between 0.1 and 1.5 mg x L(-1), and the detection limit is 0.064 6 mg x L(-1).

A UML profile for framework modeling.

The current standard Unified Modeling Language(UML) could not model framework flexibility and extendability adequately due to lack of appropriate constructs to distinguish framework hot-spots from kernel elements. A new UML profile that may customize UML for framework modeling was presented using the extension mechanisms of UML, providing a group of UML extensions to meet the needs of framework modeling. In this profile, the extended class diagrams and sequence diagrams were defined to straightforwardly identify the hot-spots and describe their instantiation restrictions. A transformation model based on design patterns was also put forward, such that the profile based framework design diagrams could be automatically mapped to the corresponding implementation diagrams. It was proved that the presented profile makes framework modeling more straightforwardly and therefore easier to understand and instantiate.

A novel method for tracking pedestrians from real-time video.

This novel method of Pedestrian Tracking using Support Vector (PTSV) proposed for a video surveillance instrument combines the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier into an optic-flow based tracker. The traditional method using optical flow tracks objects by minimizing an intensity difference function between successive frames, while PTSV tracks objects by maximizing the SVM classification score. As the SVM classifier for object and non-object is pre-trained, there is need only to classify an image block as object or non-object without having to compare the pixel region of the tracked object in the previous frame. To account for large motions between successive frames we build pyramids from the support vectors and use a coarse-to-fine scan in the classification stage. To accelerate the training of SVM, a Sequential Minimal Optimization Method (SMO) is adopted. The results of using a kernel-PTSV for pedestrian tracking from real time video are shown at the end. Comparative experimental results showed that PTSV improves the reliability of tracking compared to that of traditional tracking method using optical flow.

[Syntheses and spectral studies of functionalized ZnS nanoparticles as fluorescence probes].

In this work, nano-ZnS has been successfully prepared. The nano-ZnS has also been modified with sodium mercaptoacetic acid. The functionalized nanoparticles are water-soluble and biocompatible. All the nanoparticles have been characterized by IR spectra, UV spectra, fluorescence spectra and TEM images. In comparison with single organic fluorophore, the nanoparticles probes are brighter and more photostable, and do not suffer from blinking. The nanoparticles have a narrow, tunable, symmetric emission spectrum and a broad, continuous excitation spectrum. They are also photochemically stable. Effects of proteins and nucleic acids on the UV spectra and fluorescence spectra of the functionalized ZnS have also been studied. The intensities of UV spectra and fluorescence spectra of the functionalized ZnS are enhanced by proteins, and, however, are quenched by nucleic acids. The functionalized colloidal solutions prepared are hopeful of use as fluorescence probes in biological staining and diagnostics.

[Experimental study on effect of xiaolong tongbi on nitric oxide synthase and epithelial cell apoptosis in prostate of rats].

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of Xiaolong Tongbi (XLTB), a Chinese herbal preparation, on nitric oxide synthase (NOS) containing nerve and epithelial cell apoptosis. METHODS: NOS containing nerve level of various groups prostate was determined by NADPH histochemical staining and morphological quantitative analysis, and the cell apoptosis rate in rats prostatic epithelium was tested immunohistochemically with TUNEL method. RESULTS: After 3 weeks treatment with high dose XLTB, the length density of NOS contained nerves in prostate tissue of rats was 0.113 +/- 0.023, which was significantly different to that in the other 3 groups (low dose XLTB, Finasteride and testosterone) respectively (P < 0.01). Cell apoptosis reached its peak at the day 7 of experiment in XLTB treated groups (9.27%), and Finasteride treated group (5.65%), which lowered slightly at day 14 and got some recovery at day 21. Castration induced cell apoptosis began at day 7 and reached its peak at day 14, which was significantly different from that in the other groups. CONCLUSION: XLTB could increase the NOS contained nerve level and accelerate the apoptosis of epithelial cell in prostate tissue of simulating benign prostatic hyperplasia rats.
