The compound herbal medicine Wu-chu-yu-tang is used for the treatment of migraine and vomiting accompanying a cold. To assess the interactions of herb and drug metabolism, effects of Wu-chu-yu-tang on hepatic and renal cytochrome P450 (CYP), UDP-glucuronosyl transferase (UGT) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) were studied in C57BL/6J mice. Treatment of mice with 5 g/kg per day Wu-chu-yu-tang ...

A new, sensitive and selective high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric method has been developed for the determination of six major flavonoids including sophoricoside, genistin, genistein, rutin, quercetin, kaempferol in Fructus sophorae. Principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering analysis were used to classify and differentiate these samples. Chromatograp...

Ultra‐precision machine tool is the most important physical tool to machining the workpiece with the frequency domain error requirement, in the design process of which the dynamic accuracy design (DAD) is indispensable and the related research is rarely available. In light of above reasons, a DAD method of ultra‐precision machine tool is proposed in this paper, which is based on the frequency d...

BACKGROUND Linking cancer registry and administrative data can reveal health care use patterns among cancer patients. The Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR) contains personal health insurance numbers (HINs) that facilitate linkage to hospitalization information in the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD). DATA AND METHODS Valid HINs, captured in the CCR or obtained through probabilistic linkages to ...

BACKGROUND Diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) is a typical pathological finding of open lung biopsies in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Patients with ARDS and DAD have been reported to have a poorer prognosis than those without DAD. The aim of this study was to investigate the survival predictors in patients with ARDS and DAD. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all ARDS...

BACKGROUND With the development of technology, extensive use of computers in the workplace is prevalent and increases efficiency. However, computer users are facing new harmful working conditions with high workloads and longer hours. This study aimed to investigate the association between computer use at work and self-reported depressive and anxiety disorder (DAD) in a nationally representative...

Objectives—Patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) showing a selective impairment of episodic and semantic memory have recently been classified as aVected by focal temporal lobe dysfunction (FTLD) and considered as a distinct subgroup of patients aVected by a particular form of AD. The aim was to compare the cerebral perfusion of patients with AD with FTLD and patients with AD with the more typi...

This paper puts forward a reliability estimation method by the Degradation Amount Distribution (DAD) of products, using a composite time series modeling procedure and grey theory based on a random failure threshold. Product DAD data are treated as a composite time series and described using a composite time series model to predict a long-term trend of degradation. The degradation test is proces...

Since the interruption between receiving new AR’s RA and receiving BA from HA is depending upon DAD (Duplicate Address Detection), Mobile Node’s handoff performance is very much impaired by the Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) procedure for the newly formed Care-of Address in Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6). In this paper, we recommend a novel cross-protocol design approach for the DAD probl...
