XRD and PL were employed to characterize their properties. The resuits show that Eu^3+ ions preferentially occupy Sr^2+ asymmetry cationic sites, thus emitting 612 nm red light originated from ^5D0 to ^7F2 transition. The luminescent intensity can be greatly enhanced with incorporation of Li^+ ions. The excitation efficiency in range of 350 - 400 nm also increases greatly due to incorporating Li ^+ ions. SrZnO2 : Eu^3 + , Li^+ is a promising redemitting phosphor by long wavelength UV excitation.展开更多

MEG3 expression levels were detected by RT-qPCR in Rmaor tissues and adjacent non-tumor tissues from 29 RCC patients and in RCC lines 786-0 and SN12 and human embryonic kidney cell line 293T. Plasmids GV144-MEG3 (MEG3 overexpression plasmid) and GV144 (control plasmid) were stably transfected into 786-0 cells by using lipofectamine 2000. Cell viabilities were determined by MTT, cell apoptosis rates by flow cytometry following PE Annexin V and 7AAD staining, apoptosis-related protein expressions by Western blotting, and Bcl-2 mRNA by RT-qPCR in the transfected cells. The results showed that MEG3 was evidently downregulated in RCC tissues (P〈0.05) and RCC cell lines (P〈0.05). The viabilities of 786-0 cells were decreased significantly after transfection with GV144-MEG3 for over 24 h (P〈0.05). Consistently, the apoptosis rate was significantly increased in 786-0 cells transfected with GV144-MEG3 for 48 h (P〈0.05). Furthermore, overexpression of MEG3 could reduce the expression of Bcl-2 and procaspase-9 proteins, enhance the expression of cleaved caspase-9 protein, and promote the release of cytochrome c protein to cytoplasm (P〈0.05). Additionally, Bcl-2 mRNA level was declined by MEG3 overexpression (P〈0.05). It was concluded that MEG3 induces the apoptosis of RCC cells possibly by activating the mitochondrial pathway.展开更多

The influence of the partially replacing Ca 2+ in CaTiO 3 with Mg 2+, Sr 2+, Ba 2+, Zn 2+ on the excitation spectra, the emission spectra and the long persistence properties were studied. The results suggest that certain quantity of Mg 2+, Sr 2+, Ba 2+, Zn 2+ which partially replace Ca 2+ can enhance the luminescent intensity and prolong the afterglow persistence of the samples. The intensity of Mg 0.2Ca 0.8TiO 3∶Pr 3+ is above all of the samples. Take Mg 0.2Ca 0.8TiO 3∶Pr 3+ as the basic sample, the influence of Pr 3+ concentrations (C(Pr 3+)) on the long afterglow properties were also studied. The results suggest that when the C(Pr 3+) is 0.10% (mol fraction) the intensity of the sample is the highest. The excitation spectra of all these samples show broad band spectra ranging from 300~500 nm peaking at about 342 nm. The emission spectra also exhibit a broad band peaking at 613 nm (CaTiO 3∶Pr 3+ is 612 nm). XRD research indicates that the crystalline phases change due to the replacement of divalent metal ions.The research on the thermoluminescence spectra of Mg 0.2Ca 0.8TiO 3∶Pr 3+ indicates that the peak is at 107.35 ℃ and the depth of the trap energy is about 0 852 eV.展开更多

Methods Wild-type C57BL/6 mice (12-14 weeks old) were randomly divided into 3 groups. Mice in the group 1 (n=12) and group 2 (n=12) were instilled with lipopolysaccharide via intratracheal or intraperitoneal routes, respectively. Mice in the group 3 (n=8) were taken as blank controls. Pulmonary morphological and functional alterations were measured to determine the presence of experimental ALl. PTX3 expression in the lung was quantified at both protein and mRNA levels. PTX3 protein concentration in blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was measured to evaluate its ability to diagnose sepsis-induced ALI by computing area under receiver operator characteristic curve (AUROCC). Results ALl was commonly confirmed in the group 1 but never in the other groups. PTX3 expression was up-regulated indiscriminately among lipopolysaccharide-challenged mice. PTX3 protein concentration in the biofluid was unable to diagnose sepsis-induced ALl evidenced by its small AUROCC. PTX3 concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid did not correlate with that in serum. Conclusions Lipopolysaccharide challenges induced PTX3 expression in mice regardless of the presence ofALI. PTX3 may act as an indicator of inflammatory response instead of organ injury per se.展开更多

However, the specific mechanism of lncRNAs in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer(GC) has not been fully elucidated.AIM To explore the expression level and molecular mechanism of HOXD-AS2 in GC tissues and cells, and analyze its significance in the prognosis of GC.METHODS Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of HOXD-AS2 in 79 pairs of GC tissues and five cell lines. The pc HOXD-AS2 plasmid vector was constructed and transfected into SGC-7901 and SNU-1 GC cells. Matrigel Transwell and wound healing assays were used to confirm the effect of HOXDAS2 on invasion and migration of GC cells. Cell counting kit-8 assay and flow cytometry were used to verify the effect of HOXD-AS2 on the proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis of GC cells. The relevant regulatory mechanism between HOXD-AS2 and HOXD8 and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway was verified by Western blot analysis.RESULTS The low expression of lncRNA HOXD-AS2 was associated with lymph node metastasis and tumor-node-metastasis stage in GC. In vitro functional experiments demonstrated that overexpression of HOXD-AS2 inhibited GC cell progression. Mechanistic studies revealed that HOXD-AS2 regulated the expression of its nearby gene HOXD8 and inhibited the activity of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.CONCLUSION These results indicate that downregulation of HOXD-AS2 significantly promotes the progression of GC cells by regulating HOXD8 expression and activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. HOXD-AS2 may be a novel diagnostic biomarker and effective therapeutic target for GC.展开更多

The SrAl2O4: Eu^2+, Dy^3+ phosphors were initially prepared by the solid reaction method. Three kinds of glass frits were prepared to match the SrAl2O4: Eu^2+, Dy^3+ phosphors. Effects of the compositions of the glass frits, the ratios of the phosphors to the frits us well us the firing temperature and firing times on the properties of the samples were discussed. XRD analysis indicated the samples exhibited the typical diffraction peaks of SrAlwO4: Eu^2+, Dy^3+. The emission spectra of the samples showed broad bands peaking at 510nm.The excitation spectra of the samples showed broad bands ranging from 300 to 480hm. These are believed due to the 5d4f-4f transitions of Eu^2+ in the SrAl2O4: Eu^2+, Dy^3+ phosphors. The afterglow luminescence of the samples excited by a 40W fluorescence lamp for 30min can be observed in the dark for more lOh with the naked eyes. It can find wide applications in many fields.展开更多

Their excitation and emission spectra at different excitation and afterglow characteristics were analyzed after the excitation power was taken off. The effects of Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ , Nd 3+ mole concentrations on phosphorescence characteristics were also discussed. It is crucial to have trapping levels located at a suitable depth related to the thermal release rate at room temperature. The incorporation of Nd 3+ ions as an auxiliary activator into the SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ system causes very intense and long phosphorescence. The response time of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ phosphors is quicker than that of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Nd 3+ . Phosphorescence characteristics of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+, Nd 3+ is much better than those of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ . The integrate area of the excitation spectrum of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Nd 3+ phosphor is larger than that of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ phosphor within the range of 250~360 nm. For phosphorescence characteristics to the system of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Nd 3+ phosphor, the optimum concentration of Nd 3+ trivalent rare earth ions is 0.05 mol.展开更多
