ABSTRACT: This paper studied the results of evaluation on resistance to radiation, moisture permeability, bacteria permeability, tensile strength, elongation at break and sealing ability for several plastic films available on the market. The result shows that nylon, sarin, and polyethylene complex films, high and low density polyethylene films are applicable for packing of radiation sterilized products.

ABSTRACT: Gossypol acetic acid (GAA) at the dosage of 30 mg/kg daily for 2 weeks could prolong the sleeping time of pentobarbital, increase the SGPT level, decrease the liver concentration of cytochrome P-450 and GSH content, inhibit the activity of cytochrome C reductase and aminopyrine-N-demethylase, but was without effect on cytochrome b5 and aniline hydroxylase. At a smaller daily dosage (15 mg/kg for 4 weeks), GAA could induce the rise of SGPT level and GSH content without affecting the liver metabolizing enzymes. GAA at both dosages could induce marked pathological changes of liver cells in treated rats, such as vacuolation of mitochondria, dilation of endoplasmic reticulum and widening of perinuclear space as well as proliferation of collagen fibers in Disse's spaces. GAA could induce the formation of O2 and H2O2 and could inhibit Ca2 sequestration in rat liver microsomes in vitro. ¦C14¦-gossypol could bind to microsomal protein irreversibly either in the presence or absence of NADPH. It may be concluded that GAA is capable of causing damage to liver cells.

ABSTRACT: Three to four cheniers are found in the coastal areas of the Bohai Sea and west Yellow Sea. They are formed in the sheltered low tidal flat coast with low to medium wave energy, large quantity of fine sediment supply and shells, and a coastal slope of 0.9–3.0 ‰. The Huanghe River played a major role in controlling the chenier development by either providing sediment supply or cutting off the supply through shifting of its course. Cheniers may be used to determine the coastal development and dynamic processes.
