Surface physicochemical properties and mechanical stimuli play influential roles in cell proliferation and protein attachment.For example,cell adhesion and growth is critical to the design of biomimetic scaffolds,whereas platelet attachment to vascular grafts and stents is undesirable because it leads to thromboembolism.Plasma-assisted surface modifications resulting in distinctly different biochemical affinities will be discussed,and the capability of tuning the surface chemical properties of biopolymers and,consequently,control cell adhesion will be demonstrated in the light of results showing the dependence of cell spreading and growth on surface chemical functionalization.In addition,changes in the friction characteristics of bovine articular cartilage due to mechanical stimuli will be shown to correlate with variations in the expression levels of proteins secreted from chondrocytes in the superficial layer of cartilage.The important role of these proteins in the formation of a sacrificial boundary layer that effectively lubricates the cartilage surface and prevents osteoarthritis will be discussed in the context of experimental results.These findings suggest the existence of an interfacial mechanism of biological regulation and mechanical function in which physical forces regulate joint lubrication through complex biochemical pathways.

随着计算机和信息技术的快速发展和日益普及，多媒体教学已覆盖高校课程教学系统的各种环节，并贯穿于整个实践教学活动的始终。本文从多媒体技术应用于课堂教学实践、课堂教学多媒体研发与制作、课堂教学多媒体资源管理与使用三个方面，就其在实践中存在的八大误区和不足进行了深入客观的研究分析，并结合具体内容提出了相应的五点对策，目的是为了促进高校理论课多媒体教学要根据教学内容和教学目标的需要，去选择、设计、评价和组
本研究选取特定的知识领域——“原子结构”为内容，采用树状图法，对51 名职前化学教师(免费师范生)、44 名初中化学教师、58 名高中化学教师在“原子结构”这一认知领域中的认知结构进行了初步研究，得出如下结论：高中化学教师和职前化学教师(免费师范生)对“原子结构”认知领域中的十个核心概念理解到位，并对他们的含义及其相互关系把握准确；而初中化学教师的认知结构相对而言，不够完整，概念间的联系不够紧密。
化学是一门以实验为基础的科学，化学实验教学是化学教学的一个重要组成部分，也是化学教育的一种最有效的教学形式。化学教学质量的高低，在很大程度上取决于能否充分发挥实验教学的作用。化学实验教学的有效性研究是化学课程改革取得成效的基础。为了了解曲靖市新课程改革背景下高中化学教师实验教学有效性的现状，本文以问卷调查为基础，运用调查与访谈相结合的方法，对241名高中生进行了调查并对调查数据进行了统计分析。结果
近30 年来,双膦酸盐类药物已发展成为最有效的骨吸收抑制剂[1],被用来预防和治疗原发性骨质疏松症.侧链含氮杂环的双磷酸盐较无氮杂环的药物疗效显著.1,2,3-三氮唑类是一类具有广泛生物活性的氮杂环化合物,为了进一步提高双磷酸盐抗骨质疏松的活性,本文以丙二酸二乙酯等为原料,合成了一系列含l,2,3-三氮唑的？-羟基双膦酸类化合物(Fig.1),期望从中筛选出具有更好活性的双磷酸酯类药物.首先以丙二
