Abstract: The present application discloses a method for calibrating a parameter error of an electron probe microanalysis instrument. A one-dimensional grating standard template is prepared based on atom lithography technology. A theoretical grating period D of the one-dimensional grating standard template is calculated. The one-dimensional grating standard template is statically placed on a stage of the electron probe microanalysis instrument. The electron probe microanalysis instrument scans the one-dimensional grating standard template on the stage, performs image acquisition and measurement on a grid distance of the one-dimensional grating standard template to obtain a grating scanning distance measurement value L, and records a magnification ratio at this time. A calibration factor K under the magnification ratio is calculated according to D and L.

Abstract: A cholecystokinin (CCK) secretion-promoting peptide targeting a calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), and a preparation method and use thereof are provided. The CCK secretion-promoting peptide targeting a CaSR is a QGDVVALPA active peptide and has an amino acid sequence as follows: Gln-Gly-Asp-Val-Val-Ala-Leu-Pro-Ala. Compared with the prior art, the active peptide is allowed to be artificially synthesized through a chemical solid phase synthesis method, and is allowed to be obtained by an enzymatic hydrolysis of oat protein, separation and purification. The active peptide is allowed to target the CaSR of an intestinal endocrine cell membrane to activate a Gq signal pathway, thereby further increasing an intracellular calcium ion concentration to significantly promote secretion of CCK by an intestinal endocrine cell; and moreover, the active peptide has the advantages of safety, no toxic side effect, tolerance to digestive enzyme hydrolysis of a gastrointestinal tract, easy absorption, etc.

Abstract: A beverage container has a base releasably attached to a vessel. A reciprocating nipple is mounted on the base. A flexible conduit mounted at the base is connected to the nipple. The flexible conduit can communicate between the vessel and the nipple. A user can draw liquid from the vessel through the flexible conduit and nipple. An actuating element is mounted on the base and is coupled to the nipple. The actuating element is manually operable to reciprocate the nipple between an extended and a retracted position. Portions of the flexible conduit are adapted to collapse, occlude, and prevent communication of liquid to the nipple in response to motion of the nipple into the retracted position.
