看着看着,我仿佛置身于这美丽的景色之中,湛蓝清澈谁愿意当我的镜子,绿树红花对我点头微笑……
地球——我们唯一的家园。看,蓝天白云漂浮在它的躯体上,绿树愿意做它的丽装……是他们,是它们支撑着地球。
有这样一句名言“当人类砍倒第一棵大树的时候,便宣告文明的开始;当人类砍倒最后一棵大树的时候,便宣告文明的结束。”从前,地球拥有大片大片的树林,水是清澈见底的,空气清新,动物和人类是很要好的朋友。每天,他们一起劳动,一起生产,生活过得幸福美满。地球非常高兴,她愿意把自己的资源奉献给生活在自己身上的儿女。可是,人类很不知足,竟滥用地球上的资源,甚至还伤害了自己的朋友——动物。人类的行为令地球母亲拉长了脸。人类还不知道自己的错误,为了满足自己,滥杀生灵,乱砍滥伐,使用东西毫无节制,终于造成了一系列的严重后果。这次,地球母亲流下了眼泪,她的眼泪是酸的,她要惩罚人类。
人类终于意识到了自己的过错,可是,要拯救地球并不是一朝一夕的事情,因此,人类发出了拯救地球的呼声。不是吗?我们使“人”变成“从”,又变成“众”;使“森”变成“林”,又变成“木”。地球上的人越来越多,树木却越来越少,资源越来越短缺。
如果我们还不重视环境的保护,如果我们还不提高警觉,也许地球上最后的生物就是我们,最后一滴水就是我们的眼泪。因此我们要十分爱惜子孙万代赖以生存的自然环境。让我们从平凡做起,从点滴做起,从自我做起,节约社会资源,爱护自然环境,让我们的家园更加美好,让我们的地球充满醉人的绿,让那充满生机的,可爱的绿色种子在全世界人民的心灵上扎下永久的根。

Abstract: It has great significance for the military application to detect oil storage tanks and locate oil depots automatically from remote sensing images. Considering high computation complexity of traditional methods, an recognition algorithm based on mean shift clustering is presented, in which the spectral characteristics and spatial distribution of the oil tank is considering. Firstly, a multilevel hierarchical representation of image is established by using the mean shift segmentation approach to get segments in the finest scale and iteratively merging. At the same time, oil tanks in every scale are detected by evaluating shape features after every merging. The experimental results with several remote sensing images indicate that this method has high recognition precision, meanwhile, low time complexity.
Key words: mean shift clustering; convergence; automatic recognition; oil tank recognition
油罐等类圆形目标的识别是遥感影像军事目标识别的研究热点之一[1-2]。一般而言,霍夫变换(Hough Transform ,HT)是检测圆形目标最直观的选择[3-4]。然而,HT较高的时间和空间复杂度是其在具有海量特征的遥感影像处理中应用的瓶颈。考虑到油罐目标在高分辨率遥感影像中体现出较强的光谱同质性和分布密集型,可将油罐目标识别可视为聚类问题。油罐目标识别相当于空间位置上邻接、光谱同质性佳的像素的聚类问题。(Mean Shift,MS)算法是一种非参数的迭代聚类算法[5-6],不需要事先指定聚类中心数目,也不需要对样本服从的分布做任何假设,可胜任任何特征空间的分析的场合。另外,由于迭代过程中样本点之间相互独立,可并行运算,因此适合海量遥感数据的处理。基于MS算法,本文提出了一种基于多层次区域合并的识别算法。首先,算法基于空间位置和灰度值特征的MS聚类[5]建立影像的多尺度表达;然后,通过在多个分割尺度上检测区域与圆形的接近程度,获得不同大小的油罐对应的区域。
本文的章节安排如下:第二部分将给出均值漂移聚类算法的数学描述;第三部分将给出基于多尺度分析的识别算法的详细描述;第四部分为相关实验与分析;最后给出实验结论。
1 均值漂移聚类算法
MS过程是一种基于非参数概率密度梯度估计的迭代过程,由Cheng[6]首先提出,由Peter等人[5]进一步发展,并将其应用到特征聚类、影像滤波、分割及视频跟踪等领域。
MS向量mh,g(x)定义为[6]:
(1)
其中,x是d维的欧氏特征空间中的列向量;g(x)是核函数G(x)的剖面函数;
公式(1)表明,均值漂移向量是落入x的带宽h邻域内的所有样本的加权平均与中心样本x的差值。其中,带宽h的大小决定了参与分析的特征空间的邻域范围,合适的带宽参数可以更好的刻画样本点局部区域的空间结构性质[7]。依据公式(1)所示的MS向量,有如下MS迭代公式:
(2)
将上述迭代过程获得序列记为{yj}j-1,2,…,对应的概率密度估计序列记为{k(yj)}j=1,2…,简写为{k(j)}j=1,2…。通过均值漂移迭代过程,每个样本点均与局部概率的峰值联系起来,进而实现特征空间的聚类。通过定义不同的特征可满足不同的应用。
2 油罐识别算法
2.1 检测步骤
提出的油罐识别和详细流程如图 1所示,算法步骤具体如下:1.依据油罐目标的尺度范围及影像的分辨率,确定反映分割尺度的面积序列等参数。2.采用MS聚类分割算法生成初始分割区域。3.统计区域的圆形度等反映油罐目标形状特性的特征;4.将满足区域形状约束条件的区域标记为油罐目标。5.更新面积参数,将小于当前面积的未识别区域进行合并。6.重复步骤3-6,直到遍历所有尺度参数。综合所有尺度上获得的对象即为油罐目标。
在上述步骤2中应用的MS分割算法[5],特征空间由2维的空间坐标xs和p维(p为波段数)的光谱特征联合组成xr,每个像素点对应一个p+2维的向量x=(xs,xr)。核函数被定义为乘积形式(式(3)):
(3)
其中:hs和hr分别为空域和光谱域的带宽;C为个归一化常数;g1(x)和g2(x)是坐标特征和光谱特征对应的核函数。在滤波算法的基础上,将收敛到相近模态的像素样本均归为同类,当每一类的像素个数均大于指定阈值时终止区域合并,即可获得区域分割结果。在该MS分割中,过大的带宽往往导致影像过度平滑,较小尺度上的目标和背景无法区分[7]。因此,在本文的实验中,为保留油罐目标的真实边界,对于全色影像和多光谱影像,光谱特征域带宽hr分别取4和 6.5,位置特征带宽hs均取为6。
2.2 油罐识别
在遥感影像中,油罐有显著的光谱和区域特征。油罐多呈圆形,光谱特征和背景地物有较大的光谱差别,而油罐区域内部光谱变化小。因此,可通过区域形状特征来实现油罐的识别。常用的形状参数度量指标有圆形度、体态比、矩形度等[2]。本文采用矩形度和其二阶矩椭圆的长短轴比特征来度量区域的形状信息。采用矩形度是考虑到区域的面积和外接矩形的面积在遍历分割图像获得区域标记的同时就可以获得,不需要额外的时间开销。考虑到数字图像中的离散误差,圆形区域和矩形区域的矩形度较为接近,单一指标往往不能获得良好的结果,故加入短长轴特征。
矩形度度量了区域的形状与其外接矩形接近的程度,其计算公式如下:
Rule1=Arng/Abox (4)
其中,Arng,Abox分别表示区域的面积、以及区域最小外接矩形的面积。对于理想的矩形区域而言,该比值为1;圆的最小外接矩形为正方形,且有比值π/4≈0.7853;长短轴比值特征通过计算与区域具有相同二阶矩的椭圆的短长轴的比例来衡量区域与圆形的接近程度。当区域为理想圆性时,比值有最大值为1。其计算公式如下:
Rule2=Ls/Ll (9)
在数字影像量化的过程中,不可避免的会出现量化误差。即使在高分辨率影像中,量化误差也会导致小目标区域边缘位置出现混合像素,进而导致分割的区域边界的定位不准,识别中可能出现较多误检。因此,小面积时可采用更紧的约束边界,大面积的区域采用先对较弱的约束。考虑到这一因素,对于任意分割区域,在计算统计量Rule1和Rule2之后,本文设计了如下区域判别规则:
IfRgnCount<400
If(abs(Rule1-0.7853<0.05) &( Rule2>0.85)
Then Target region is a circle.
End
Else
If(abs(Rule1-0.7853<0.1) &( Rule2>0.8)
Then Target region is a circle.
End
End
另外,若油罐直径为L米,影像分辨率为S米,则影像中油罐的面积A约为:
A=πL2/4S2(10)
依据经验,油罐直径范围约为3m-80m[1]。在影像的分辨率S是已知前提下,根据公式10,同时考虑影像的量化误差,可近似的确定影像中油罐的面积范围。
3 实验和分析
实验采用高分辨率的全色和多光谱遥感影像,实验样区为日本某临海的炼油厂和日本某机场油库。实验影像如图 2所示(影像实际大小见各题注)。实验算法由C++与Matlab语言混合编程实现。其中,基于均值漂移的初始分割过程调用了C++编写的库文件,多层次检测和油库区域定位算法由Matlab语言实现。
由表 1可以看到:均值漂移分割耗费的时间和多尺度油罐目标识别耗费的时间相当,油库定位的耗时几乎可以忽略不计。初始分割的时间主要耗费在动态库的调用上,多尺度油罐目标识别的较多时间消耗主要是Matlab语言在处理循环上的低效造成的。另外,初步的实验表明:VC 6.0平台下,多尺度油罐目标识别算法的计算时间可以缩短为现有结果的1/4左右。因此,本文提出的油罐目标定位和油库识别算法,对于较大幅面的遥感影像的油库定位,从时间复杂度的角度分析是可行的。
(a) 692 ×792 (b) 582×780 (c) 600 ×792(d) 440×834
图 2 油罐目标识别的部分实验影像
限于篇幅,图3仅给出了图 2-d及多幅油罐目合成影像的处理结果。图3中的矩形框表示库区的识别结果,星型表示识别的油罐的重心。通过对实验结果的分析发现:对于小面积区域,由于量化误差和分割精度的影响,很难依据形状特征将其与真实的、较小的油罐区域区分开来;初始分割无法将目标和周围背景有效分离开来是导致和周围环境光谱差异不大的油罐不能识别的主要原因。影像中的油罐面积越大,越容易正确识别。图3-b由多幅影像中的油库区域合成,影像大小为1100×1100,主要包含三个大的油库区域。整体上看,提出的算法可以提取绝大数不同面积的油罐对象,但面积过小的油罐发生了漏检。
4 结束语
上述实验结果表明,本文采用均值漂移分割算法对高分辨率影像中的油罐进行识别是可行的。提出的算法对影像的波段数没有限制,且具有参数调整简单和时间效率高的特点。该方法为高分辨率遥感影像的油罐和油库识别问题提供了一条新的思路。

外国长篇小说《鲁滨孙漂流记》在作家笛福的笔下构造出了一位机智勇敢的主人公——“鲁滨孙”。在这部小说里,鲁滨孙在一个荒岛上生活了二十八年,经历了孤独的拷打、安全的威胁、饥饿的侵蚀······许多番风雨后,靠自己的本事活了下来。
鲁滨孙不畏艰险、机智勇敢、聪明能干、乐观理智的精神让我不由得惊叹,这是一个有着多么顽强意志力的“平凡人”。在绝望之际,他竟可以用超乎于凡人的冷静与理智将希望罗列出来,用自己独有的力量努力维持着他的整个精神世界,创造着别样的奇迹。
在我的生涯中,鲁滨孙令我最为钦佩的“知足常安”这个最伟大的精神特点,我却没学到一丝一毫。我承认我是个负能量满身的人:抱怨自己家境没有别人好、抱怨自己的天赋没比别人高、埋怨天气的多变、埋怨那些不顺心的事物、自卑着自己没有比别人大方、自卑着自己没比他人受欢迎、自卑着试卷上那一个又一个鲜艳的红叉······一切没有达到自己的理想的百分百完美的所有事物如同“过检产品”那样都被我打上了“不合格”的印记,使我终日笼罩在积着雨滴的黑压压的乌云下。可是鲁滨孙的“知足常乐”与我对比起来,他所遭受的苦难与我的小事相比,似一天一地,完全没得比,使我异常羞愧。
“知足常乐”这个在我心目中最为伟大的精神支柱,将在我人生夜空的帷幕下熠熠生辉。

近年来,随着我国市场经济的高速发展,懂技术的实操型人才缺乏,国家高度重视职业中学的技能教育,职业技术教育正面临着一个前所未有的发展机遇。为了促进职业技术教育的健康蓬勃发展,每年全国、省、市各级教育部门都组织了各种项目的技能大赛,这些比赛是各职业技术学校的竞技展示平台。 各个学校都很重视这些比赛,都希望在比赛中取得好成绩,以树立学校在社会上的良好声誉。
本文研究的“传票翻打”是财经商贸类技能大赛中的一个单独项目,同时它也是电算化会计综合的一个组成项目。“传票翻打”主要是指采用爱丁数码公司翰林提专用设备进行小键盘传票算。笔者自2010年开始至今一直担任学校传票翻打技能训练队的训练工作,从开始的懵懂状态到逐渐走上训练的正轨,笔者积累了一定的经验,本文总结了在“传票翻打”技能训练中培养选手的一些方法和心得体会,其目的是想与同仁交流探讨, 以更好地提高这个项目的训练水平。
1 让学生树立正确的训练目标,端正训练态度
(1)良好的动机能给行动以强大的推动力。人只有在达到一定的动机水平时,其工作能量才能最大限度地发挥出来,传票翻打也是如此。技能训练都是枯燥、乏味的,为了激发学生训练的兴趣,教师在训练的最初要先让学生们知道参加技能竞赛的重要意义。竞赛中获奖既是让自己的综合技能得到提高,又能为学校争得荣誉,也为自己将来就业获得一项有力的证明。竞赛中即使失利未获得奖项,个人也可以通过参赛获得很多宝贵的经验。学生们明确了竞赛的意义,自然清楚自己的训练目标就是刻苦训练,提高水平,争取获奖。
(2)学生明确了自己的训练目标后,教师就要注重培养学生的刻苦钻研和吃苦耐劳精神。一个人要想成功,就一定要在困难中保持恒心和毅力。职中学生的坚持精神不一定很足,需要教师经常用激励的语言去督促和鞭策,更需要运用科学的方法加以引导, 在整个训练过程中教师也要加强学生自觉性的培养,要求学生能主动刻苦地训练, 培养学生的自制力和定力。
2 用科学的方法指导技能训练
2.1 重视基本功的训练
“传票翻打”是由基本指法训练、数字综合录入、传票录、传票算四个部分组成,它们是互相联系、互相制约、 循序渐进的统一体,缺一不可。“传票翻打”训练应该是一个循序渐进的过程。
首先,培养学生通过基本指法训练练出正确的输入手势,正确的指法是提高技能水平的关键。笔者有一个综合项目的选手一开始练习时是只用三个手指来操作全部的小键盘,手法很笨拙。笔者规定她一定要按照指法的规则,每只手指各司其职,先将基本指法训练练习五小时,再练习数字综合录入五小时,经过两段基础的强化训练,她克服了问题,五指手指可以发挥各自的作用了,这时才要求她进行传票录和传票算的训练。
其次,控制好击键的速度和力度也很重要。在训练的一开始,教师就应叫学生学会控制击键的力度,击键手法太软,可能会打不出数字;击键太用力,易出现将数字打重复的问题,而且长时间练习时容易疲劳,学生耐力会不够;击键的速度也应该前后保持基本一致,十分钟内速度变化大会影响自己的心理状态,就更容易出现数字输入错误。为了让学生在比赛现场适应软硬程度不同的键盘,教师还应该在比赛前一个月找一些软硬程度不同的键盘供学生练习适应。
再次,要加强盲打训练。要提高录入速度,只有正确的操作姿势和指法,没有很好的盲打基本功是不行的。训练伊始,个别学生盲打不过关,为了让学生练成盲打,可用数字综合录入练习,方法是在数字综合录入功能里动手设置十个阿拉伯数字和“+”、 “.”,在键盘和眼睛中间加一块薄纸,学生录入时只能抬头看屏幕,不能看键盘,这样既可遮住学生看键盘的视线, 又不影响学生击键时手指的灵活动作, 迫使学生只能看屏幕,在熟记键盘的基础上练成准确的盲打。
2.2 制定科学的训练计划
笔者的学校,一般会提前半年就由训练老师制定一个详细的训练计划。根据计划安排,教师在每一个训练阶段制定相应的要求,学生在训练过程中会经过一个“突飞猛进”的时期和一个“原地踏步”期。在“突飞猛进”期要提高训练强度,要求学生每天最少打18组题目,还要学生自己制定每个星期一定要达到的训练目标,如果达不到目标成绩就按照训练队学生们自己的约定接受小“惩罚”。学生们每个星期要填写成长记录表,写下自己的总结与反思。在“原地踏步”期教师要对学生加强思想教育,教育学生坚持训练。训练的过程中要求学生先全力提高速度,比如翻打水平达到可以在10分钟打完18组或者17组题目以后,再注意提高准确度, 将速度和准确度相结合。
2.3 训练过程忌拔苗助长,设计有针对性的训练
“传票翻打”训练内容要科学,训练过程要循序渐进,由易到难逐渐增加难度。在指法训练中,以分指录入为主,逐渐过渡到综合录入;传票练习中先练习传票录,再练习传票算。训练过程忌拔苗助长,特别是对于一年级的新手,必须先练好基本功,再进行数字综合录入、传票算,稳步前进,才能达到较好的训练效果。训练过程中也应因人而异,对学生个人情况单独观察分析,找出问题后要有针对性地进行弥补训练。教学中笔者发现,有的学生不会使用大拇指,只能用四个手指击键;有的学生小指不灵活,击键不够力,或者紧张时小指不到位。针对这些特殊的情况,要对他们进行有针对性的反复训练,如在数字综合录入里专门设置“0,1,2,3”这四个数,让学生练习拇指和食指的分指协调动作,克服用食指击“0”键的问题。
2.4 对学生加强自我意识和自我评价的培养
引导学生正确认识和评价自己很重要,自我批评、评价是一个人前进的动力,有意识地引导学生经常分析和检查自己,学生在训练中才能进步得更快。结合自我评价和自我激励的需要,笔者为学生设计了“每周传票翻打成长记录表”,要求每位学生在每天训练时记录自己当天的几次训练成绩,每周用150字左右写下自己的总结和反思,然后为下周定一个要达到的目标。“每周传票翻打成长记录表”部分表格如表1所示:
教师可根据“每周传票翻打成长记录表” 的成绩情况进行每周的训练总结,从而制定对策或调整下周的训练计划。
3 加强学生心理素质的培养
心理素质是决定一个人成才和成功的必要条件。传票翻打比赛时间短、竞争激烈,选手们充分发挥技能水平并取得优异成绩是优良的翻打技巧和稳定心理的有机结合。 为了让学生发挥正常,笔者也研究了一些心理素质培养的方法,在训练的间隙和比赛前对学生们加强了必要的心理辅导。具体方法如下:
3.1 培养学生的自信心
自信心是一种能够战胜各种困难而实现自己理想的情绪状态。教师应该在平时的训练中暗示学生自己学校的水平和其他兄弟学校的水平差不多,只要再拼搏努力,就有希望进入前列。这样一来,学生才觉得有可能实现自己想达到的目标,也才会有拼搏的动力。比赛前的一星期,更要对学生加强自信心的培养,教师可用语言提醒学生,“你们是很棒的,我对你们绝对有信心” 、“放心吧,你们的水平在全市都是领先的”。
3.2 用模拟训练法加强学生心理素质的培养
学生们在一个陌生的环境中比赛时经常会感到不安和紧张,模拟训练就是人为的制造或模拟比赛环境,让学生们逐步适应紧张环境,并产生抗干扰能力,以便在正式的比赛时保持比较稳定的心态。模拟训练法包括, 通过在自己学校组织的专业学生的技能大赛,模拟实际比赛的场景;加强与其他几所兄弟学校的交流,通过与其他兄弟学校合办校际联谊赛的方式进行模拟比赛,做到“知己知彼,百战不殆”。 这些措施对稳定学生的情绪状态和发挥出高水平是有好处的。
3.3 放下“包袱”,轻装上阵
许多优秀学生比赛失利的主要原因就是过分看重比赛成绩,对自己期望过高,背上了思想“包袱”,加重了思想负担 。教师在赛前的一天和即将比赛前的一刻都要认真观察学生,发现问题要及时采取措施帮助学生。比赛前的一天,教师要提醒学生练习呼吸调节法,有意识地进行舒缓的腹式呼吸,使内心得到慰藉。到达比赛现场,学生有紧张情绪时,教师要用自己镇定的情绪感染学生,使不良情绪得到有效的控制。 教师可运用语言暗示,如 “今年参赛的选手很多是新人,水平都不是很高”,让学生心理得到放松以稳定情绪。
综上所述,正确的训练目标、良好的训练态度、科学的训练方法、健康的心理素质是参加技能大赛取得成功的必备条件。

Helicobacter pylori are very common pathogenic bacteria colonizing about half of all populations and associated with the development of serious gastroduodenal diseases like gastric lymphoma, peptic ulcers and acute chronic gastritis. Current drug regimes are not wholly effective. Other problems related with the current drug regimes are lack of patient compliance, side effects and bacterial resistance. Thus, drug delivery to the site of residence in the gastric mucosa may help in solving the problems associated with the current drug therapy. Gastric retentive delivery systems potentially allow increased penetration and thus increased drug concentration at the site of action. Floating drug delivery systems, expandable or swellable drug delivery systems and bioadhesive systems are the major areas of interest to formulate gastroretentive drug delivery system against H. pylori. Generally, problems with these formulations are lack of specificity and the dependence on mucus turnover, so they fail to persist in the stomach. Gastric mucoadhesive systems are hailed as a promising technology to address this issue, penetrating the mucus layer and prolonging activity at the mucusepithelial interface. Gastroretentive delivery strategies, specifically with regard to their application as a delivery system to target Helicobacter, are a very attractive field which can cure these troublesome infections.
H. pylori is a Gramnegative, microaerophilic, spiral and flagellated bacterium, with unipolarsheathed flagella that provides motility. Its spiral shape and high motility allows it to penetrate mucus, resist gastric emptying and remain in the host gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It is now firmly established that infection with this bacterium is the cause of chronic active gastritis. Its isolation radically changed the conceptualisation of several chronic gastrointestinal illnesses including gastritis and peptic ulcers, and elimination of the causative organism became the goal of therapies [1]. Estimates from the WHO in 1994 claimed that about half of the world’s population was infected with H. pylori and although most infections are silent, a portion of the infected population will subsequently present with associated disease including chronic gastritis, peptic and duodenal ulcers. About 550 000 new cases a year of gastric cancerabout 55% of the worldwide totalwere attributed to H. pylori, and it was predicted that by 2020 to enter the top ten of leading causes of death worldwide[2, 3]. H. pylori is a very perse specy and cancer risks may be increased with strains having virulenceassociated genes (cytotoxinassociated gene, CagA), host genetics and environmental factors. The incidence of infection is higher in developing countries with up to 80%90% of adults being infected whereas in developed countries prevalence ranges from 10%50%[4].
1 Mechanism of H. pylori infections
Infection with H. pylori occurs predominately in childhood mainly between the ages 1 to 5, via oral ingestion of the bacterium, and lasts until the end of life with intrafamilial transmission being the major route in developed countries. The possible routes of transmission are food and water. The major feature of H. pylori infection is progressive injury to the gastric mucosa and its function[5, 6]. The bacterium adheres to the gastric epithelial cells, producing a direct injurious effect that is then amplified by production and release of a vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA)[7, 8]. H. pylori produces a variety of enzymes and is characterised by a high urease activity. Urea is broken down into bicarbonate and ammonia that protects the bacterium in the acid environment of the stomach. The ammonium ions produced can be toxic to the gastric superficial epithelial cells. Urease stimulates inflammatory cytokine production and activates mononuclear phagocytes. Although, after colonisation, the host immune defences are stimulated, and there is increased secretory IgA (sIgA) detected in the gastric mucosa and raised specific IgG, while the infected host is not able to eliminate the organism. Colonisation results in persistent gastric inflammation but the clinical course of infection can be very variable[9].
2 Current treatment of H. pylori infections
The treatment for eradication of H. pylori is complicated, requiring a minimum of two antibiotics in combination with gastric acid inhibitors. Although H. pylori is sensitive to many antibiotics in vitro, no single agent is effective alone in vivo. Firstly, the bacterium resides below the gastric mucus adherent to the gastric epithelium and thus access of drugs to this site is limited. Secondly, the strain may have acquired resistance to the commonly used antimicrobial drugs[10]. These infections are currently treated with a firstline triple therapy treatment, consisting of one proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and two antibiotics. None of the antibiotics used achieves sufficient eradication when used alone and also require adjuvant therapy[11]. This consists of agents increasing pH within the stomach to allow local action of antibiotics not active at low pH, and PPIs are used at a dose equivalent to 20 mg omeprazole twice daily. It was suggested that ranitidine bismuth citrate (RBC) regimens may be less influenced by antibiotic resistance than PPIbased therapies[12].
The most effective therapies combine two antibiotics including clarithromycin and amoxicillin with a gastric acid inhibitor. However, increasing resistance to current antibiotics is driving research to produce alternatives to the commonly used therapies. In addition to increasing levels of antibiotic resistance, the hostile environment of the stomach, reducing antibiotic bioavailability at the site of action, contributes to failures in treatment[13]. Current recommended regimes are not wholly effective, for example, triple therapy with bismuth, metronidazole and amoxicillin or tetracycline has an eradication efficiency of 60%80%, and patient compliance, sideeffects and bacterial resistance can be problematic with this regime[14]. Alternatives proposed include quadruple therapies, based on, for example, colloidal bismuth subcitrate, tetracycline, metronidazole and omeprazole[15]. Patient compliance with such a complicated dosage regime could be improved by combining the therapies in a single dosage form, and a capsule containing bismuth biskalcitrate, metronidazole and tetracycline (Helicide) has been developed in an effort to improve patient compliance and has currently received approval[16]. There is concern regarding acquired resistance to two of the commonly prescribed antibiotics: clarithromycin and metronidazole. Although not as widespread, resistance to metronidazole can also be problematic but it can be overcome in some cases by lengthening the duration of treatment[17].
3 Drug delivery systems for gastric retention
Major problems in the eradication of H. pylori are the presence of antibioticresistant bacteria requiring multiple drugs with complicated dosing schedules and bacterial residence in an environment where high drug concentrations are difficult to achieve. In order to ensure that the therapy is adequately delivered to the unique niche of the gastric mucosa, development of oral dosage forms with prolonged gastric residence is desirable. Gastric retentive delivery systems have been studied for a number of years, and generally requirements of such strategies are that the vehicle maintains a controlled release of drug and exhibits prolonged residence time in the stomach. Overcoming the physiological barriers of the human GI tract is a major challenge facing successful development of gastric retentive systems and leads to problems with reproducibility. In addition to the thick protective mucus layer, gastrointestinal motility patterns are another obstacle facing drug delivery to the stomach. In the fasted state, the interdigestive myoelectric motor complex (IMMC) is a 2hour cycle of peristaltic activity that regulates motility patterns[18]. Phase Ⅲ of the IMMC is also called the housekeeper wave and consists of strong, intense contractions designed to remove debris such as undigested food from the stomach[19, 20]. Gastric residence time will depend on which phase of IMMC is active. In the fed state, the stomach churns food to sizes less than 1 mm, which is then emptied to the duodenum. Type of the food determines its residence time in the stomach with liquids emptying rapidly and solids much more slowly. Gastric residence time is generally longer in the fed rather than fasted state. The gastric residence time of dosage forms is also influenced by posture, age, gender, disease status and concomitant medication. A number of different techniques have been explored to increase gastric retention including high density and magnetic systems, but the three main systems are floating systems, bio/mucoadhesive systems and swelling systems.
4 Floating drug delivery systems
Various approaches had been made since the late 1970s to utilise floating behaviour in order to prolong residence. Designs include hydrodynamically balanced systems (HBS), microspheres, gasgenerating systems and raftforming systems. Originally, such systems were proposed to reduce fluctuations in drug levels and provide sustained release as the duration of most oral sustained release preparations is 812 hours, due to a relatively short GI transit time[21, 22]. HBS has a bulk density lower than gastric fluids and contain one or more colloids formulated into a single unit with the drug and other additives, which swell on contact with water and facilitate floating[23, 24]. A density of less than 1.0 g/mL is required. A triplelayer floating tablet system was proposed containing a swellable gasgenerating layer, a swellable drugcontaining layer (with tetracycline and metronidazole) and a rapidly dissolving layer containing bismuth salts. The system was capable of providing sustained release of the antibiotics in vitro at pH 1.8 and demonstrated buoyancy in vitro, however no in vivo results are reported. Tablets containing a 1︰2 ratio of hydroxypropylcellulose to amoxicillin, with a gasgenerating system, failed to improve efficacy. These large singlelayer tablets remained buoyant in vitro but bioavailability was reduced to 80.5% as compared with conventional capsules in fasted humans[25]. Intersubject variability in gastric transit times with floating tablets and HBS results in unreliable and irreproducible residence times in the stomach and remains a significant problem with such systems. This can be addressed by using multipleunit pided systems such as microspheres. As these can spread evenly through the stomach contents, they can avoid the problems of variable and early gastric emptying or bursting associated with the singleunit systems. Polymers used in formulation of floating multipleunits include caesingelatin acrylic polymers such as Eudragits and alginates[26]. Alginic acid is a polysaccharide consisting of Dmannuronic acid and Lguluronic acid. It forms a bioadhesive and stable gel with palent cations such as calcium and the sodium salt been used in a variety of oral and topical formulations. Floating alginate systems such as Gaviscon form a buoyant gel which floats on the gastric contents alleviating symptoms of heartburn. Its stability in acidic media has made it a popular choice for gastric retentive delivery systems. For example, floating multiple units consisting of a calcium alginate core, separated from a calcium alginate/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) membrane by an air compartment displayed prolonged gastric retention after a meal. Alginate beads are commonly prepared by extruding alginate, dropwise, into a solution containing Ca2+. The resultant beads are porous and can be used to encapsulate a variety of drugs with a wide range of physicochemical properties[27]. Adequate control of drug release from such formulations often requires some modification to the matrix. For example, foambased floating microspheres can be prepared by adding polypropylene foam powder to an organic solution containing dissolving polymer (Eudragit RS or polymethyl methacrylate, PMMA) and drug. Upon solvent evaporation, freeflowing microspheres are formed with extended release profiles[28]. Two types of alginate floating beads containing metronidazole were compared; one formulation contained chitosan and the other contained vegetable oils. In vitro release was complete from all formulations within two hours. Following administration to guinea pigs, it was concluded that after three hours chitosancontaining particles resulted in increased drug levels in the gastric mucosa as compared with metronidazole solution[29]. A multipleunit floating dosage form formulated using calcium alginate was prepared by dropping sodium alginate solution into calcium chloride and the resultant particles were freezedried. Amoxicillin was incorporated into these beads by addition of drug to the calcium chloride solution. Once the sodium alginate was extruded into the solution, the resultant gel beads were left for thirty minutes before extraction and freezedrying. Amylose was also added to the formulation in an attempt to reduce the release rate. Amoxicillin release showed an initial burst effect and the release was described by Higuchi kinetics, implying that it is controlled by diffusion of the drug through a porous matrix. Gammascintigraphic studies showed evidence of gastric retention of the floating beads in all seven subjects even following normal food intake.
A major limitation with such systems is the requirement for sufficient volumes of gastric acid within the stomach to enable the devices to float. It may be that using a single approach to localise delivery in the stomach may not be sufficient to resist the forces of gastric emptying. It was therefore envisaged that a floating dosage form with mucoadhesive polymers could extend the period of gastric retention, exploiting the retentive properties of the floating system and the ability of bioadhesive formulations to adhere to inflamed tissue. Floating, bioadhesive microsphere systems containing acetohydroxamic acid (AHA), a cytoplasmic urease inhibitor, were prepared. A solution of AHA and the acrylic polymer (Eudragit E) in ethanol/dichloromethane was added to an aqueous PVA solution to form an oilinwater emulsion. The drug and polymer precipitated due to preferential diffusion of ethanol into the aqueous phase. After evaporation of the dichloromethane, the particles were dried and an air cavity was produced inside the spheres giving the particles the ability to float[30]. These particles were spraycoated with the mucoadhesive polymer, polycarbophil. Floating ability was demonstrated in vitro and demonstrated greater percentage growth inhibition of H. pylori in vitro than free drug. Release rates were extended due to the polycarbophil coating[31]. Similar preparations using polybisphenolA carbonate as the coating polymer also showed buoyancy, extended drug release and inhibition of growth of H. pylori in vitro. Clearance of an inoculated strain of H. pylori from the stomach of gerbils following oral delivery of the encapsulated drug was shown to be better than free drug, presumably due to better retention. Although AHA has been shown to be effective at reducing gastritis in a Mongolian gerbil model, further studies are needed to prove that established antibiotics could also be successfully encapsulated into, and released from, such formulations and their efficacy demonstrated in human models[30].
5 Herbal and integrative drugs against H. pylori infections
5.1 Black myrobalan The aqueous extract of black myrobalan (Terminalia chebula Retz) has been shown to have uniform antibacterial activity against ten clinical strains of H. pylori[32, 33]. This activity was bactericidal after 3 h and was stable after autoclaving. Although Sato and coworkers[34] reported gallic acid and ethyl gallate in T. chebula Retz and have shown antibacterial activity of ethanol extracts of this plant against both methicillin resistant and sensitive Staphylococcus aureus and other bacteria, the components of T. chebula Retz aqueous extracts responsible for the observed bacteriocidal activity remain unknown[35]. The antibacterial activity of aqueous extracts of black myrobalan against H. pylori was significantly higher than that of ether and alcoholic extracts. The aqueous extract preserved its antibacterial activity after autoclaving for 30 min at 121 ℃ and was inhibitory at 125150 mg/L. When the plant powder was tested directly against H. pylori, without grinding and (or) extraction and using Colombia Agar plates, the mean inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) values were 150 and 175 mg/L, respectively.
5.2 Ginger Ginger root (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) has been used traditionally for the treatment of gastrointestinal ailments such as motion sickness, dyspepsia and hyperemesis gravidarum, and is also reported to have chemopreventative activity in animal models[36]. The gingerols are a group of structurally related polyphenolic compounds isolated from ginger and known to be the active constituents. Since H. pylori is the primary etiological agent associated with dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease and the development of gastric and colon cancer, the antiH. pylori effects of ginger and its constituents were tested in vitro[37]. A methanol extract of the dried powdered ginger rhizome, fractions of the extract and the isolated constituents, 6, 8 and 10gingerol and 6shogoal, were tested against 19 strains of H. pylori, including 5 CagApositive strains. The methanol extract of ginger rhizome inhibited the growth of all 19 strains in vitro with a MIC range of 6.25 to 50 μg/mL. One fraction of the crude extract, containing the gingerols, was active and inhibited the growth of all H. pylori strains with an MIC range of 0.78 to 12.5 μg/mL and with significant activity against the CagApositive strains. These data demonstrate that ginger root extracts containing the gingerols inhibit the growth of H. pylori CagApositive strains in vitro and this activity may contribute to its chemopreventative effects[38].
5.3 Turmeric Curcumin, a polyphenolic chemical constituent derived from turmeric (Curcuma longa L.), has been shown to prevent gastric and colon cancers in rodents[39]. Many mechanisms had been proposed for the chemopreventative effects, although the effect of curcumin on the growth of H. pylori has not been reported. H. pylori is a group 1 carcinogen and is associated with the development of gastric and colon cancer. A methanol extract of the dried powdered turmeric rhizome and curcumin were tested against 19 strains of H. pylori, including 5 CagApositive strains. Both the methanol extract and curcumin inhibited the growth of all strains of H. pylori in vitro with a minimum inhibitory concentration range of 6.2550 μg/mL. These data demonstrate that curcumin inhibits the growth of H. pylori CagApositive strains in vitro, and this may be one of the mechanisms by which curcumin exerts its chemopreventative effects[40, 41].
5.4 Thyme A popular herbal remedy in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, thyme was mainly used for headaches, digestive problems, respiratory illness, and as a moodenhancer. Researcher who investigated the antimicrobial properties of 21 essential oils against five important foodborne pathogens, including Escherichia coli (E. coli) noted that thyme was very effective at inhibiting the bacteria. Thyme extract was compared with several antibacterials; it had a significant inhibitory effect on H. pylori[42].
5.5 Licorice In a recent study at the Institute of Medical Microbiology and Virology, Germany, researchers found that licorice extract produced a potent effect against strains of H. pylori that are resistant against clarithromycin, one of the antibiotics typically used in the three antibiotic treatment regimens[43]. The authors concluded that this study provides hope that licorice extract can form the basis for an alternative treatment for H. pylori infections[44].
5.6 Berberine Berberine is a plant alkaloid isolated from the roots and bark of several plants including golden seal, barberry, Coptis chinensis Franch. and Yerba mansa. Berberinecontaining plants have been used medicinally in ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, and are known to have antimicrobial activity against a variety of organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoans, helminths, and chlamydia. More recently, berberine had been demonstrated to be effective against H. pylori[45].
5.7 Goshuyn (Evodia rutaecarpaa Chinese herb) After testing no less than 113 Chinese herbs for antiH. pylori activity in vitro, Japanese researchers identified goshuyn (Evodia rutaecarpa) as the most effective medical plant. Subsequently, they conducted a randomised clinical trial of two synthetic antibiotics versus the same combination plus goshuyn. The eradication rates were 60% and 80%, respectively[46].
5.8 Other Chinese herbals In an animal study or bacteriostatic test of 53 Chinese herbs, Zhang et al[47] found Coptis chinensis, Rheum palmatum, Panax notogenseng and Magnolia officinalis were effective against H. pylori. Prunus mume and Corydalis yanhusuo were moderate effective.
6 Conclusion
The gastric retention approaches as well as herbal drugs described here have applications for treatment of H. pylori infection although further development is required for each to be fully effective, especially in human studies. Overcoming the high mucus turnover rate and resulting limited retention times is a challenge for bioadhesive systems, and swelling systems must guarantee clearance from the stomach after a certain time to prevent any obstruction. The lack of availability of biocompatible chemical cross linking agents is a major stumbling block in the development of covalently crosslinked hydrogels. Floating systems are available commercially, and combination approaches, using floating behaviour and mucoadhesion, have also shown promise. Exploiting dual mechanisms of retention may provide the strength and reproducibility required to permit successful advancement in this field. So in future, a combination of herbal drugs with the novel drug delivery systems mentioned above, may lead to an important breakthrough in the herbal/integrative treatment of H. pylori infections.

原告皮革厂诉称:请求法院判令被告偿付票据金额20万元,承担利息及诉讼费。
被告亚细亚辩称:原告皮革厂取得汇票后已背书转让他人,且本案系争汇票的前后手之间均无直接债权债务关系。为此,原告皮革厂不具备持票人资格,无票据权利,要求驳回原告皮革厂之诉。
法院经审理认为:被告亚细亚于1996年2月14日签发的商业承兑汇票,记载完备、真实,并经其盖章承兑,属合法有效,被告亚细亚理应承担票据的付款义务,并在票据不获付款时承担票据的清偿责任,且不得以与持票人的前手之间无直接债权债务关系为由对抗持票人。原告皮革厂与其后手之间已不存在债权债务关系,其依法向被告亚细亚行使追索权,合理合法,应予支持。根据《中华人民共和国票据法》第26条、第61条之规定,于1996年11月13日作出判决:被告亚细亚应偿付原告皮革厂票载金额20万元及利息(利率按中国人民银行同期贷款利率,自1996年5月30日起计算至本判决生效之日止)。
本案是一起票据追索纠纷。就本案而言,主要涉及到票据的追索权、票据的无因性、票据承兑的法律效力等。
一、票据的追索权
追索权是指,在汇票到期前未获承兑或到期未获付款或有其他法定的影响汇票信用的情形出现时,持票人在行使或者保全其票据上的权利的行为后,可以向汇票的背书人、出票人或者其他债务人请求偿还汇票金额及其他法定金额的权利。
追索权的行使,须同时具备票据法所规定的实质要件和形式要件。实质要件包括:(一)背书连续。背书的连续是持票人行使票据权利的必要条件。(二)须有行使追索权的原因事实存在。即行使到期后追索权必须有汇票被拒绝付款的事实。形式要件是指必须作成拒绝证书以证明其不获付款或不获承兑的事实,如承兑人或付款人出具的拒绝证明或退票理由书。本案原告即背书人的后手上海希伦赛勒赫和奎因皮革化工品技术服务寄售站持汇票不获付款,后因与原告不存在债权债务关系,将汇票退回原告。这样,原告就成为该汇票的合法持有者。原告以汇票背书的连续证明其票据权利的存在,并有上海城市信用社退票通知,故原告可以向出票人(被告)行使追索权。
二、票据的无因性
票据乃无因证券。所谓无因,是指票据如果具备票据法上的要件,票据权利就成立。至于票据行为赖以发生的原因,在所不问,即持票人享有权利只以持有票据为必要,对于持票人取得票据原因、票据权利发生的原因均在所不问,因而持有票据的人行使权利时无须证明其取得票据的原因。但是如果原因关系与票据关系存在于直接当事人之间时,债务人可以用原因关系对抗票据关系。
本案被告辩称,本案系争汇票的前后手之间均无直接债权债务关系,为此原告不具备持票人资格,不享有票据权利,是违背票据的无因性的。
三、票据承兑的法律效力
