To improve the shortcoming in bag filter design in China (mainly used in purification of HF in alumina electrolytic flue gas), necessity of basic theoretical study on bag-filter used in purification of alumina electrolytic flue gas is analyzed. Four study aspects are proposed , which includs flow field optimization, influences of bag length and process parameter on forming dust layer, properties of the dust layer adsorbing hydrogen. Some primary study is done. This will provide a reference for engineering design and process operation.

To evaluate the value of (99 m)Tc-sandostatin scintigraphy in targeted diagnosis of pancreas carcinoma and the correlation with expression of somatostatin receptor (SSTR) reporter gene in tumor tissue.Nude mice bearing human pancreas carcinoma xenograft were established in advance. (99 m)Tc-sandostatin imaging was performed in 18 nude mice and tumor to normal tissue ratio (T/NT) was calculated. mRNA expression of SSTR1, SSTR2 and SSTR5 in tumor tissue was detected by RT-PCR.Out of 18 nude mice, 13 mice showed intense uptake of (99 m)Tc-sandostatin. Six hours after (99 m)Tc-sandostatin administration, the T/NT ratio was 2.53 +/- 0.84. Five mice showed negative findings, and the T/NT ratio was 1.04 +/- 0.06. Positive correlations were obtained between the T/NT ratio and the expression of SSTR1 and SSTR2 mRNA, especially SSTR2 (r = 0.807, P0.01).High expression of SSTR1, SSTR2 and SSTR5 mRNA were found in human pancreas tumor xenograft in nude mice, especially SSTR2. There is a significant correlation between the tumor uptake of (99 m)Tc-sandostatin and SSTR2 mRNA level. This approach may allow SSTR-targeted diagnosis and therapy of human pancreas cancer.
