Abstract: Crystalline pyridone compound, which is the white needle crystal containing no water and other crystallization solvents. Its unit cell belongs to monoclinic system and has space group of P21/n, wherein a=3.8512(2), b=20.2535(12), c=12.1628(6) ?, ?=92.850(5)° and crystal cell volume V=947.53(9) ?3. Pyridone compound crystal of this form has the needed properties for preparing or making treatment compositions in large scale. It can be used for treating organs fibrosis of liver, kidney, lung and etc. and reducing skin scars.

Abstract: A network apparatus having a database, a management method and a tangible machine-readable medium for managing internet protocol (IP) connection rules of the database are provided. The database stores at least one first IP connection rule. The management method comprises the following steps: writing a second IP connection rule through one of a plurality of management programs; determining there is a conflict between the at least one first IP connection rule and the second IP connection rule, and eliminating the conflict according to a weight value of the at least one first IP connection rule and a weight value of the second IP connection rule. The at least one first IP connection rule and the second IP connection rule are used in one network connection.
