La 2O 3-doped Ba 0.8Sr 0.2TiO 3 dielectric ceramics were prepared by conventional solid state ceramic route. Scanning electron microscope was employed to observe the surface morphologies. The capacitance C and dielectric loss factor D of the samples were measured with automatic LCR Meter 4225 at 10 kHz respectively. The results show that: εr of the samples decreases and tgδ first decreases then increases with increasing amount of La 2O 3 doping. εr reaches better value, tgδ obtains the minimum value at 0.5 mol% La 2O 3. εr increases and tgδ decreases when sintering temperature increases. The samples doped with 0.5 mol% La 2O 3 sintered at 1,350 °C for 10 h exhibited attractive properties, including high relative dielectric constant (>4,000), low dielectric loss (16.8 × 10 −4), low temperature coefficient of relative dielectric constant(<±21 %) in the temperature range of +25 to +85 °C.

Deer antlers are the only mammalian appendage capable of regeneration. We aimed to investigate the effect of red deer antler extract in regulating hair growth, using a mouse model. The backs of male mice were shaved at eight weeks of age. Crude aqueous extracts of deer antler were prepared at either 4 °C or 100 °C and injected subcutaneously to two separate groups of mice (n = 9) at 1 mL/day for 10 consecutive days, with water as a vehicle control group. The mice skin quantitative hair growth parameters were measured and 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine was used to identify label-retaining cells. We found that, in both the 4 °C and the 100 °C deer antler aqueous extract-injection groups, the anagen phase was extended, while the number of BrdU-incorporated cells was dramatically increased. These results indicate that deer antler aqueous extract promotes hair growth by extending the anagen phase and regulating cell proliferation in the hair follicle region.
