We design and numerically analyze a high-quality (Q)-factor, high modulation depth, multiple Fano resonance device based on periodical asymmetric paired bars in the near-infrared regime. There are four sharp peaks arising from interference between subradiant modes magnetic dipole mode that can be easily tailored by adjusting different geometric parameters. The maximal Q-factor exceed 105 magnitude, depths ΔT reach nearly 100%. Combining narrow line-widths with strong near-field confinement,...

Abstract Background Progranulin is a secreted high molecular weight growth factor bearing seven and one half copies of the cysteine-rich granulin-epithelin motif. While inappropriate over-expression progranulin gene has been associated with many cancers, haploinsufficiency leads to atrophy frontotemporal lobes development form dementia (frontotemporal lobar degeneration ubiquitin positive inclusions, FTLD-U) formation ubiquitinated inclusions. Recent reports indicate that neurotrophic...

Abstract Graphene‐based metasurfaces have emerged as promising photoelectric devices that can dynamically control the behavior of electromagnetic waves. The high‐order anomalous reflection provides an additional degree freedom in field photonic research. Here, a series gradient graphene with modes to manipulate wavefront reflected light is proposed. By properly arranging nanostructures, 5‐order and 15‐order high‐quality Laguerre–Gaussian beams are achieved. Furthermore, efficiency controlled...

Adiponectin is an adipokine that exerts insulin-sensitizing and anti-inflammatory roles in insulin target tissues including liver. While the function of adiponectin has been extensively investigated, precise mechanism by which alleviates diet-induced hepatic inflammation remains elusive. Here, we report hepatocyte-specific knockout (KO) adaptor protein APPL2 enhanced sensitivity prevented mice from developing high-fat inflammation, resistance, glucose intolerance, although it caused fatty...

Monocyte proinflammatory activity has been demonstrated in obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes, metabolic conditions that are frequently associated with elevated levels of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA). We therefore tested the hypothesis NEFA may induce monocyte inflammation.Monocytes exposed to for days a dose-related increase intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation adhesion endothelial cells. All these effects were inhibited by coaddition antioxidants such as...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common human arrhythmia in clinical practice and may be promoted by atrial inflammation fibrosis. Ubiquitination an important posttranslational modification process that reversed deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs). DUBs play critical roles modulating degradation, activity, trafficking, recycling of substrates. However, less research has focused on role AF. Here, we investigated effect ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase 1 (UCHL1), DUB, development AF induced...

Irinotecan (IRI) is considered an option for second-line treatment of advanced gastric cancer; however, acquired drug resistance currently limits its clinical application. Recently, many researchers have shown that autophagy plays a crucial role in the tumor cells to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In this study, we investigated relationship between antitumor activity IRI cancer cells.We used MTT assay, flow cytometry immunofluorescence staining detect viability, apoptosis cancer. Western...

Human papillomaviruses (HPV), mainly HPV16 and HPV18, of high-risk classification are involved in cervical cancer carcinogenesis progression. Octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (OCT4) is a key that increased various types. Cervical patients with higher levels OCT4 had worse survival rates. However, the definite mechanisms underlying its function development still remain to be explicated. Here, our study demonstrated expression was slightly tissues than precancerous ones. significantly...

Background Cadmium (Cd) accumulates in the body over time, damaging organs such as liver, kidneys, and brain. Some researchers have suggested that elevated blood Cd levels may contribute to onset progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, only a few studies explored relationship between exposure long-term health outcomes patients with NAFLD. This study aimed evaluate predictive value cadmium for mortality risk Methods analyzed data from 13,450 NAFLD National Health...
