From n-alkane to polyacetylene on Cu(110):Linkage modulation in chain growth

Direct coupling or transformation of inert alkanes based on the selective C-H activation is of great importance for both chemistry and chemical engineering.Here,we report the coupling of polyenes that are transformed from n-dotriacontane(n-C_(22)H_(66))through on-surface cascade dehydrogenation on Cu(110)surface,leading to the formation of polyacetylene(PA).Three distinct linkages have been resolved by scanning tunneling microscope(STM)and noncontact atomic force microscope(nc-AFM).Apart from the α-type linkage which is the stemless coupling of the terminal C-C double bond in trans-configuration,β-and γ-type linkages appear as knots or defects which are,in fact,the C-C couplings in cis-configurations.Interestingly,the“defects”can be effectively suppressed by adjusting the surface coverage,thus making it of general interest for uniform structure modulation.

Effects of long-chain fatty acid supplementation on the growth performance of grower and finisher pigs: a meta-analysis

Background: Supplementation of feed with long-chain fatty acids(LCFAs) during the grower and finisher phases has long been discussed as a growth promotion strategy in pigs, but its effects are inconsistent. The purpose of our study was to comprehensively evaluate its effects on the growth performance based on the average daily gain(ADG), average daily feed intake(ADFI) and gain: feed(G:F) ratio and to unveil the roles of the basal diet, LCFA concentration and LCFA saturation.Results: We searched the Pub Med and Web of Science databases(articles published from Jan 1 st, 2000, to Sep 30 th,2018;restricted to English) and compared LCFA-supplemented diets with control diets. We retrieved 2346 studies, 18 of which(1314 pigs, 26 records) were eligible for our analysis. We used a random-effects model to calculate the weighted mean differences(WMDs) and 95% confidence intervals(CIs). LCFA supplementation in the grower-finisher phase improved the ADG(WMD = 41.74 g/d, 95% CI: 8.81 to 74.66, P = 0.013) and G:F ratio(WMD = 0.019, 95% CI: 0.006 to 0.032, P = 0.003). For supplementation solely in the finisher phase, we found a similar performance in the ADG(WMD = 39.93 g/d, 95% CI: 26.48 to 53.38, P < 0.001) and G:F ratio(WMD = 0.019, 95% CI: 0.006 to 0.032, P < 0.001) but a reduction in the ADFI(WMD =-83.863 g/d, 95% CI:-156.157 to-11.569, P = 0.023). Specifically, approximately 5%LCFA supplementation in the finisher phase had significant effects on the ADG(WMD = 51.385 g/d, 95% CI: 35.816 to66.954, P < 0.001), ADFI(WMD =-102.869 g/d, 95% CI:-189.236 to-16.502, P = 0.02) and G:F ratio(WMD = 0.028, 95%CI: 0.018 to 0.039, P < 0.001), whereas a concentration of approximately 1% exhibited no effects.Conclusions: Overall, regardless of the basal diet and saturation, LCFA supplementation greatly improves the growth performance of grower and finisher pigs, primarily by increasing the energy density.

Research and Application on Web Information Retrieval Based on Improved FP-Growth Algorithm

A kind of single linked lists named aggregative chain is introduced to the algorithm, thus improving the architecture of FP tree. The new FP tree is a one-way tree and only the pointers that point its parent at each node are kept. Route information of different nodes in a same item are compressed into aggregative chains so that the frequent patterns will be produced in aggregative chains without generating node links and conditional pattern bases. An example of Web key words retrieval is given to analyze and verify the frequent pattern algorithm in this paper.

Expression of Transforming Growth Factor-β in Cultured Normal Human Lens Epithelia Cells

Summary: In order to investigate whether cultured normal human lens epithelial cells (LEC) express transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemical methods were used for detection of TGF-β mRNA and protein in cultured normal human LEC. The results showed that a single RT-PCR amplified product about 310bp was obtained, and the sequence was homologous to the known sequence. TGF-β immunostain was positive in the plasma of LEC. It was suggested that normal human LEC could produce TGF-β, and LEC could be affected by TGF-β through autocrine action.

Effects of Shenggu Injection (生骨注射液) on mRNA Expression of Vascular Endothelia Growth Factor in Rat Osteoblasts in vitro

Objective： To study the effects of Shenggu injection （生骨注射液,SGI） on mRNA expression of vascular endothelia growth factor （VEGF） in rat osteoblasts in vitro and to explore its possible molecular mechanisms in promoting fracture healing. Methods： Rat osteoblasts cultured in vitro were stimulated with SGI according to the protocol. The expression levels of VEGF mRNA in the cells in every group were examined by reverse-transcriptase ploymerase chain reaction （RT-POR）. Results： When osteoblasts were stimulated with different concentrations of SGI for 5 days, the expression of VEGF mRNA peaked with 1 mg/ml SGI on the 5th day. When treated with 1 mg/ml SGI from the 1st to the 5th day, the expression of VEGF mRNA increased gradually with the increase of culturing time. Conclusion： SGI could promote significantly the expression of VEGF mRNA in rat osteoblasts in vitro. The levels of expression of VEGF mRNA changed along with different concentrations and stimulating time of SGI.

Single Chain Fragment Variables Antibody binding to EGF Receptor in the Surface of MCF7 Breast Cancer Cell Line: Application and Production Review

In this review, single-chain fragment variable construction using phage-display technology as a promising anticancer immunotherapy technology is described. Cloning and the specific bio-panning selection with phage display technology, as well as the use of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) at the surface of MCF-7 cells as the antigen for the straightforward specific selection of single chain Fvs, are discussed. Moreover, phage display technologies and their application are important for vaccine production and immunotherapy against viruses and cancers. Furthermore, expression of the gene will cause the production and expression of the protein in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, which can be used to detect anti-cancer single chain fragment variables (scFvs). Finally, homology modelling is described to show the three-dimensional scFv structure that verifies the Complementary-Determining-Regions (CDRs) on the surface of the model.

Epidermal Growth Factor Enhances Orthovanadate-Induced Contraction via Src and Myosin Phosphatase Target Subunit 1 in Rat Vascular Smooth Muscle

Inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatase by orthovanadate induces vasoconstriction, which is mediated by the Rho kinase-dependent inactivation of myosin light chain phosphatase (MLCP) via signaling downstream of Src-induced activation of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor. The present study investigated the potential role of EGF in orthovanadate (OVA)-dependent vaso-constriction. OVA-induced aortic contraction significantly increased in the presence of EGF, and was abolished by inhibitors of Rho kinase (Y27632), extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (Erk1/2) (FR180204), Erk1/2 kinase (PD98059), EGF receptor (AG1478), and Src (PP2). Treatment of the rat endothelium-denuded thoracic aorta with either EGF or OVA augmented the phosphorylation of myosin phosphatase target subunit 1 (MYPT1) at Thr-853 and of the EGF receptor at Tyr-1173. The phosphorylation of MYPT1 was further increased by co-stimulation with EGF and OVA. EGF receptor phosphorylation at Tyr-845 was also increased by EGF or OVA;this effect was augmented by co-stimulation with EGF and OVA, and was abolished by Src inhibition. In addition, Erk1/2 was phosphorylated by EGF or by co-treatment with EGF and OVA;this was abolished by an EGF receptor inhibitor, but not by Src inhibition. These results suggested that OVA-induced EGF-related contraction was mediated by the Rho kinase-dependent inactivation of MLCP via two different signaling cascades: Src-dependent phosphorylation of the EGF receptor at Tyr-845 and EGF-dependent phosphorylation of Erk1/2.

Insulin-like Growth Factor-Ⅰ Gene Cloning and Protein Expression in Bovine Trabecular Meshwork Tissue and Cells

Whether cultured bovine trabecular meshwork cells and trabecular tissue ex vivo express insulin like growth factor I (IGF Ⅰ) messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein was investigated. Total RNA of cultured bovine trabecular meshwork cells as well as trabecular meshwork tissue freshly excised from bovine eyes was extracted, and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) was used to detect IGF Ⅰ mRNA. RT PCR product was verified by sequencing. Immunohistochemical stain was used to detect IGF Ⅰ protein. The results showed that a single PCR amplified product was obtained, and the sequence was homologous to the known sequence.. IGF Ⅰ immunostain was positive in the cytoplasm of trabecular meshwork cells. It was concluded that trabecular meshwork cells produce IGF Ⅰ and contribute to the presence of IGF Ⅰ in trabecular meshwork microenvironment as well as aqueous humor. Trabecular meshwork cells were affected by IGF Ⅰ not only through paracrine, but also autocrine action. Whether abnormal down regulations in IGF Ⅰ production may contribute to the pathogenesis of primary open angle glaucoma and the possibility of promoting the autocrine action of IGF Ⅰ by trabecular meshwork cells to treat the diesease is worth further investigation.
