Abstract: A dispersion-compensation microstructure fiber uses pure silica glass as the background material. It includes the core, the first-type defects, the second-type defects and the cladding. The air holes in the fiber cross section are arranged in the equilateral triangle lattice with the same adjacent air-hole to air-hole spacing. The core is formed by omitting 1 air hole. The first-type defects are formed by the 6 air holes locating at the vertices of hexagonal third-layer porous structure surrounding the core and their surrounding background material. The second-type defects are formed by the air holes in the first air-hole layer surrounding each first-type defect and their surrounding background material. The second-type defects act as the porous structure to surround the first-type defects and the fundamental defect modes, and can also combine with the first-type defects to act as the core of the second-order defect modes.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a preparation method of ginseng composition with high ginsenoside bioavailability. The composition is composed of ginseng powder of 250 meshes or more and ?-cyclodextrin, and the mass ratio of the ginseng powder to the ?-cyclodextrin is 1:0.05. Results show that when ?-cyclodextrin is used as a solid dispersant and added to the 1000-mesh ginseng powder at a mass ratio of 5%, the total dissolution amount is maximum; and furthermore, animal experiments (SD rats) show that the area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve (AUC0-48 h) after 48 h of ginseng powder ingestion is maximum, indicating that in-vivo bioavailability of the ginseng powder is the highest. The method of this application can effectively inhibit the aggregation of the ultra-finely pulverized 1000-mesh ginseng powder by adding the ?-cyclodextrin, thus significantly improving the total dissolution amount of ginsenoside.
