Simultaneously, the relationship between Popdc3 expression and the survival of the patients was retrospectively analyzed.RESULTS： Popdc3 was detected in 72 （85.71%） of 84 human nontumor mucosa. High expression of Popdc3protein was detected in 78 （25.49%） of 306 human gastric cancer cases, and low expression was detected in 228 （74.51%）. Low expression of Popdc3 correlated with depth of invasion （P 〈 0.0001）, regional lymph nodes （P 〈 0.0001） and distant metastasis （P =0.02）, and tumor, nodes, metastasis （TNM） stages （P 〈 0.0001）. On multivariate analysis, only the patient＇s gender, regional lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, TNM stages, and the expression of Popdc3 were independent prognostic factors in patients with gastric cancer. The Kaplan-Meier plot showed that low Popdc3 expression had a much more significant effect on the survival of those patients with early-stage tumors X^2 = 104.741, P 〈 0.0001）, with a 〉 51.9% reduction in the three-year survival compared with high Popdc3 expression. In late stages, the difference was also significant X^2 = 5.930, P = 0.015）, with a 32.6% reduction in the three-year survival.CONCLUSION： Reduced expression of Popdc3 may play a significant role in the carcinogenesis and progression of gastric cancer. Popdc3 may be an independent prognostic factor.展开更多
The equilibrium geometries, potential energy curves, spectroscopic dissociation energies of the ground and low-lying electronic states of He2, He2^＋ and He2^＋＋ are calculated using symmetry adapted cluster/symmetry...The equilibrium geometries, potential energy curves, spectroscopic dissociation energies of the ground and low-lying electronic states of He2, He2^＋ and He2^＋＋ are calculated using symmetry adapted cluster/symmetry adapted cluster-configuration interaction （SAC/SAC-CI） method with the basis sets CC-PV5Z. The corresponding dissociation limits for all states are derived based on atomic and molecular reaction statics. The analytical potential energy functions of these states are fitted with Murrell-Sorbie potential energy function from our calculation results. The spectroscopic constants Be, αe, ωe, and ωeχe of these states are calculated through the relationship between spectroscopic data and analytical energy function, which are in well agreement with the experimental data. In addition, the origin of the energy barrier in the ground state X^I∑9^＋ of He2^＋＋ energy curve are explained using the avoided crossing rules of valence bond model.展开更多
