    Abstract In this work, a series of numerical simulations have been performed to obtain the steady shapes of red blood cells under a shear force field in the capillary. Two possible classes of steady shapes, the axisymmetric parachute and the non-axisymmetric parachute, are found. If we assume that oxygen diffusion across the red cell membrane is mediated by membrane curvature, it is found that the non-axisymmetric parachute will be more favorable due to its special shape which enables it to have a larger portion of membrane patch capable of releasing oxygen to tissues.

    Abstract A triple receiver public key cryptosystem was proposed. In the cryptosystem, a sender encrypted a message and sent to three receivers, while the three receivers were able to decrypt the message with their own private keys. Based on bilinear map, two triple receiver public key encryption schemes with different security were constructed. If the gap bilinear Diffie-Hellman (GBDH) problem and the computational Diffie-Hellman (CDH) problem were proved formally to be intractable, then the two schemes proposed were semantically secure against chosen-plaintext attacks and against adaptive chosen ciphertext attacks respectively. The proposed scheme only added an exponential operation and a hash operation, and constructed three independent receivers which had a high efficiency. Analyses show that proposed scheme can improve the security of TLS protocol and apply to hierarchical public key cryptosystems.

    Abstract Sanren decoction (SRD) is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine prescription containing eight kinds of materials. SRD has been used mainly in China for more than 200 years for the treatment of respiratory disorders that co-occur with a bad fever after midday.To evaluate the acute and 28-day subacute toxicity of an aqueous extract of SRD using in vivo methods.To determine acute toxicity, SRD was administered by gavage at a dosage of 58.5 g/kg/day to male and female mice for 7 days. To determine subacute toxicity, SRD was administered at 3.3, 6.5, or 13 g/kg/day to male and female rats for 28 days. The general behavior, body weight, biochemical and hematological parameters, organ coefficients and pathological morphology of the treated animals were analyzed.Neither acute nor subacute concentrations of SRD caused significant changes in the body weights, general behavior, hematology and biochemical parameters, organ weights, or histopathological appearances of the liver, kidney, spleen, brain, lung or heart in mice or rats.The administration of SRD can be considered safe within the conditions of this study.

    Abstract Bei Qi Wu Jia (BQWJ), a modern preparation of a traditional Chinese medicinal formula, is a combination of Radix Astragali and Acanthopanacis Senticosi. Although BQWJ has been used to treat insomnia, fatigue, and loss of appetite, toxicological safety studies are rare in the literature.Aim of the study: To evaluate the acute and subacute toxicity of BQWJ extract after oral administration in mice and rats, respectively.In the acute toxicity study, mice underwent oral administration of 67.5 g extract/kg/day. In the subacute toxicity study, rats underwent a single oral administration of 1.25, 2.5, 5.0, or 10.0 g/kg/day of BQWJ extract for 28 days. The animals’ general behavior, body weight, food intake, biochemical and hematologic parameters, organ coefficients, and pathological morphology were analyzed.No evidence of toxicity was observed in the mice after acute exposure to BQWJ extract. The subacute results included no deaths and no changes in general behavior. Although BQWJ extract resulted in some significant changes in other parameters, these alterations cannot be considered treatment-related because they remained within normal ranges throughout the 28 days.In conclusion, the oral administration of BQWJ extract at doses of less than 67.5 g/kg/day for 1 day or 10.0 g/kg/day for 28 consecutive days can be considered safe and showed no distinct toxicity or side effects in this study.

    Abstract Electrochemical cycling stabilities were compared for undoped and Al/Co dual-doped spinel LiMn2O4 synthesized by solid state reactions. We observed the suppression of particle fracture in Al/Co dual-doped LiMn2O4 during charge/discharge cycling and its distinguishable particle morphology with respect to the undoped material. Systematic first-principles calculations were performed on undoped, Al or Co single-doped, and Al/Co dual-doped LiMn2O4 to investigate their structural differences at the atomistic level. We reveal that while Jahn-Teller distortion associated with the Mn(3+)O6 octahedron is the origin of the lattice strain, the networking -i.e. the distribution of mixed valence Mn ions - is much more important to release the lattice strain, and thus to alleviating particle cracking. The calculations showed that the lattice mismatching between Li(+) intercalation and deintercalation of LiMn2O4 can be significantly reduced by dual-doping, and therefore also the volumetric shrinkage during delithiation. This may account for the near disappearance of cracks on the surface of Al/Co-LiMn2O4 after 350 cycles, while some obvious cracks have developed in undoped LiMn2O4 at similar particle size even after 50 cycles. Correspondingly, Al/Co dual-doped LiMn2O4 showed a good cycling stability with a capacity retention of 84.1% after 350 cycles at a rate of 1C, 8% higher than the undoped phase.
