Abstract Globally, the deteriorating Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect poses a significant threat to human health and undermines ecosystem stability. UHI mitigation strategies have been investigated utilized extensively within cities by provision of green, blue or gray infrastructures. However, urban land is precious limited for these interventions, making it challenging address this issue. Neighboring rural cover may serve as cooling source great potential mitigate through processes such heat...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), 18–24 nt non-coding RNAs, are thought to play important roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and development. Recent studies suggest that some of the known microRNAs map a single genomic locale within polycistronic transcript. But cluster remain be known. In order understand role mechanism miR-143 miR-145 esophageal squamous carcinoma (ESCC), association mature expression with risk for cancer was evaluated ESCC patients case-control study, target...
The synthesis of a block codendrimer (g3-PBE-b-g3-PMDC), composed third-generation poly(benzyl ether) (PBE) monodendron and an aliphatic polyether (PMDC) is reported. In THF/diiospropyl ether (1:1) the PMDC functions as "hydrophilic" block, while PBE acts "hydrophobic" block. can form interdigitated layers leading to vesicle formation. Tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron (TEM) were used characterize vesicles. effect molecular...
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide. To reduce high morbidity and mortality disease, sensitive specific biomarkers for early detection are urgently needed. Tumor-specific microRNAs (miRNAs) seem to be potential diagnosis treatment cancer. In this study, differentially expressed miRNAs in tumor tissues adjacent non-tumor were detected by miRNA microarrays. Stem-loop real-time reverse transcription PCR was conducted verify candidate...
Accumulation of toxic amyloid-β (Aβ) in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus is a major pathological feature Alzheimer's disease (AD). The neurotrophin receptor p75NTR has been proposed to mediate Aβ-induced neurotoxicity; however, its role development AD remains be clarified. p75NTR/ExonIII−/− mice APPSwe/PS1dE9 were crossed generate transgenic with deletion gene. In mice, expression was localized basal forebrain neurons degenerative neurites neocortex, increased aging, further activated by...
Air- and water-stable hydrophobic ionic liquids N-alkylpyridinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([Cnpy][NTf2], n = 3, 6) were synthesized. The density, surface tension, dynamic viscosity, electrical conductivity of [C6py][NTf2] measured in the range T (283.15 to 338.15) K. [C3py][NTf2] (308.15 melting glass transition temperatures two ILs determined according differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). physicochemical properties, including molecular volume, standard molar entropy, lattice...
White-light-emitting single molecules have attracted broad attention because of their great potential for use in flat-panel displays and future light sources. We report a unique molecule 3-(diphenylamino)-9H-xanthen-9-one (3-DPH-XO), which was found to exhibit bright white-light emission the solid state caused by spontaneous formation mixture with different polymorphs. Single-crystal analyses demonstrate that noncovalent interactions (such as π···π stacking, hydrogen bonding, C–H···π...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are postulated to play important roles in oncogenesis. Recently, extracellular miRNAs were detected plasma or serum of diseased subjects. However, the role circulating plasma/serum remains be elucidated. In this study, relative expressions miR-155, miR-183, and miR-20a esophageal tissue found significantly associated with increased risk for cancer. The miR-155 miR-183 reduced cancer patients. Circulating showed higher when adjusted by smoking status alcohol use. was have...
Recent studies have demonstrated the possible function of miR-139-5p in tumorigenesis. However, exact mechanism cancer remains unclear. In this study, association expression with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) was evaluated 106 pairs and adjacent non-cancerous tissue from ESCC patients. The tumor suppressive features were measured by evaluating proliferation cycle state, migratory activity invasion capability, as well apoptosis. Luciferase reporter assay Western blot analysis...
Increasingly, non-English speaking countries use English as the medium of instruction (EMI) to teach academic subjects. This study investigated challenges and adaptation strategies teachers students in an EMI medical education program China.Data were collected on non-EMI students' test performances student teacher perceptions program. Test scores survey results analyzed using SPSS. Focus group transcripts open-ended comments from surveys examined thematic coding.There no significant...
Density and surface tension of the air- water-stable hydrophobic ionic liquids N-alkylpyridinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([Cnpy][NTf2], n = 2, 4, 5) were measured in temperature range T (283.15 to 338.15) K. The melting temperatures samples determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Decomposition are higher than 600 K as thermogravimetric analysis (TG).

In our previous study, miRNA-183, a miRNA in the miR-96-182-183 cluster, was significantly over-expressed esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).In present we explored oncogenic roles of miR-183 ESCC by gain and loss function analysis an cancer line (EC9706).Genome-wide mRNA microarray applied to determine genes that were regulated directly or indirectly miR-183.3cUTR luciferase reporter assay, RT-PCR, Western blot conducted verify target gene miR-183.Cell culture results showed inhibited...
High-grade glioma is incurable, with a short survival time and poor prognosis. The increased expression of p75 neurotrophin receptor (NTR) characteristic high-grade glioma, but the potential significance p75NTR in this tumor not fully understood. Since for precursor brain-derived neurotrophic factor (proBDNF), it suggested that proBDNF may have an impact on glioma. In study we investigated its receptors sortilin 52 cases human 13 controls by immunochemistry, quantitative real-time PCR,...
Although it is possible to generate neural stem cells (NSC) from somatic by reprogramming technologies with transcription factors, clinical utilization of patient‐specific NSC for the treatment human diseases remains elusive. The risk hurdles are associated viral transduction vectors induced mutagenesis, tumor formation undifferentiated cells, and factors‐induced genomic instability. Here we describe a vector‐free more efficient method induce mouse fibroblasts into using small molecules....
