Silencing transformer and transformer-2 in Zeugodacus cucurbitae causes defective sex determination with inviability of most pseudomales

transformer is a switch gene for sex determination in many insects, which cooperates with transformer-2 that is expressed in both sexes to regulate female differentiation, particularly in dipterans. Zeugodacus cucurbitae(Coquillett) is a very destructive pest worldwide, however, its sex determination pathway remains largely uncharacterized. Here, we show that the female sex ratio is sharply reduced with knockdown of either transformer or transformer-2 by RNA interference in early embryos of Z. cucurbitae. Most of the males grown from the embryos with transient transformer and transformer-2 suppression mated with wild-type females and produced mixed sex progeny, with one exception that produced only female progeny, and all of the few remaining males failed to mate with wild-type females and produced no progeny. The exceptional male and those males with mating failure were XX pseudomales as determined by the detection of Y chromosome-linked Maleness-on-the-Y, indicating that most XX pseudomales are not viable. The phenotypes of transformer and transformer-2 suggest that they play a key role in regulating sex determination and are required for female sexual development of Z. cucurbitae. Our results will be beneficial to the understanding of sex determination in Z. cucurbitae and can facilitate the development of genetic sexing strains for its biological control.

真空紫外协同Co^(2+)催化过硫酸氢钾降解罗丹明B

有机染料具有毒性强、色度高、不易降解等特性,为了高效去除有机染料,实验以真空紫外(VUV)为光源,研究了VUV协同Co^(2+)催化过硫酸氢钾(PMS)降解典型有机染料罗丹明B(RhB)的反应机制和转化途径.结果表明:①在RhB初始浓度为80 mg/L,Co^(2+)和PMS投加量分别为15μmol/L、0.5 mmol/L的条件下,VUV/Co^(2+)/PMS体系反应10 min,RhB去除率可达99.1%.VUV/Co^(2+)/PMS体系对RhB降解遵循一级动力学规律,反应速率常数(k)随初始质量浓度的增加而减小.②溶液初始pH对反应速率有较大的影响,随着pH减小,反应速率也同时减小.投加量为30 mmol/L的HCO_(3)^(−)、Cl^(−)均表现出显著的抑制作用,相较于对照组,RhB去除率由99.1%分别降至66.0%、84.2%,而NO_(3)^(−)和SO_(4)^(2−)抑制作用不显著;印染助剂柠檬酸钠也会显著抑制RhB降解.③自由基捕获实验和电子顺磁共振(EPR)测试结果表明,VUV/Co^(2+)/PMS体系中存在的氧化物种包括硫酸根自由基(SO_(4)^(−)·)、羟基自由基(·OH)、单线态氧(1O2).④根据紫外可见吸收光谱和质谱结果,初步推断RhB分子降解主要通过活性氧(ROS)攻击造成共轭结构破坏和N-位脱乙基等作用.另外,对总有机碳(TOC)进行测试,30 min时RhB矿化度可达到43.8%.研究显示,VUV/Co^(2+)/PMS体系能够有效去除RhB.

不同条件下Co^(2+)对锌电积的影响

Co^(2+)是湿法炼锌中重点关注的有害杂质之一。以含Co^(2+)的硫酸锌溶液作为模拟研究对象,整体研究含Co^(2+)的硫酸锌溶液中分别存在松醇油和Mg^(2+)时,Co^(2+)对锌电解的影响行为。结果表明,当电积液中不存在松醇油和Mg^(2+)时,Co^(2+)的存在造成了锌板的穿孔,出现了轻微“烧板”现象,需要将电积液中Co^(2+)浓度控制在0.6 mg/L以下。当电积液中加入0.21 g/L的松醇油时,Co^(2+)的含量对锌电积的不利影响比电积液中不存在松醇油时的影响更大,需要将电积液中Co^(2+)浓度控制在0.4 mg/L以下。当Mg^(2+)浓度分别为5 g/L和10 g/L时,需要将电积液中Co^(2+)浓度控制在0.4 mg/L和0.2 mg/L以下。当Mg^(2+)浓度为15 g/L时,电积液中的Co^(2+)应尽量除尽。

Determinants of Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices among Young Adults Type 2 Diabetes Patients in Selected Tertiary Hospitals in Shandong Province, China

Objective: The purpose of this study is to understand the current situation of knowledge, attitude, and practice of self-management in young patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to explore the relationship between general conditions (personal, social, and environment, clinical factors) and their knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of diabetes self-management, This aims to provide patients with high-quality nursing care management and services, as well as to provide relevant recommendations for effective self-management. Methods: This study is a descriptive correlational study that used the purposive sampling method to investigate 359 patients with T2DM aged 18-25 years in four designated tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province. Results: Knowledge of self-management was correlated with sex, age, education level, occupation and work situation, monthly household income, medical payment method, family and friend support, frequency of diabetes health education, and diabetes complications. The attitude subscale was correlated with sex, age, education level, work situation, and family and friend support. The practice subscale was associated with age, education level, work situation, family and friend support, frequency of diabetes health education, and HbA1c values. Conclusion: Young adults aged 18-25 with T2DM have positive attitudes towards diabetes self-management, but there are still deficiencies in knowledge acquisition and behavioral practice. The KAP of self-management of diabetes is influenced by personal factors such as sex, age, and education level, and socio-environmental factors such as family income and family or friends’ social support. Additionally, clinical factors such as complications and HbA1c values significantly impacted the patient’s disease self-management ability.

pH对δ-MnO_(2)吸附硫酸锰溶液中Co^(2+)、Ni^(2+)的影响

硫酸锰溶液中重金属离子的深度净化,一直是锰行业研究的热点和重点。利用X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)和红外光谱(FT-IR)等手段对所制备的δ-MnO_(2)进行表征,利用Visual Minteq软件模拟硫酸锰溶液中Mn、Co和Ni的离子形态随pH的变化关系,研究不同pH条件对δ-MnO_(2)吸附硫酸锰溶液中Co^(2+)、Ni^(2+)的影响。结果表明:δ-MnO_(2)结晶性较差,缺陷和空隙较多,表面羟基丰富。随着硫酸锰溶液pH升高,δ-MnO_(2)对于Co^(2+)和Ni^(2+)吸附率逐渐增加,Co^(2+)比Ni^(2+)更容易被吸附。在低pH下,δ-MnO_(2)吸附效果受结构缺陷和空隙影响,pH高于5时,在表面负电荷和羟基的共同作用下大量吸附Co^(2+)和Ni^(2+),Co^(2+)、Ni^(2+)吸附率最高达到99.98%、89.53%。对吸附后δ-MnO_(2)进行XRD和FT-IR分析进一步验证了吸附机理,为解决锰系电池原材料硫酸锰溶液中重金属杂质离子难去除问题提供一定基础。

SOX7靶向ERK1/2/PD-L1通路抑制结直肠癌血管生成

目的探讨性别决定区Y框蛋白7(SOX7)对结直肠癌血管生成的影响及潜在作用机制。方法应用免疫荧光检测结直肠癌患者组织样本中SOX7表达水平,之后通过裸鼠、转染SOX7 mimic的人结直肠癌细胞系SW480细胞和人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)共培养进一步研究。用Western-blot验证SOX7与ERK1/2/PD-L1对结直肠癌细胞的相关蛋白表达的影响。用CCK8检测SOX7与ERK1/2/PD-L1对HUVEC增殖的影响。通过体外内皮细胞成管实验测定SOX7与ERK1/2/PD-L1对肿瘤血管生成的影响。结果SOX7在人结直肠癌组织中表达被抑制(P<0.01),同时SOX7的过表达抑制了小鼠体内肿瘤生长(P<0.01)。SW480细胞中SOX7的过表达抑制了ERK1/2、c-Jun的表达,并在ERK1/2的激动剂Senkyunolide I的作用下上调了SW480细胞的ERK1/2、c-Jun蛋白表达(P<0.01),逆转了SOX7对SW480细胞中ERK1/2、c-Jun蛋白表达的影响(P<0.01)。HUVEC中SOX7抑制了PD-L1、V-EGFR2、p-PI3K、HIF-1α的蛋白表达,Senkyunolide I上调了HUVEC的PD-L1、V-EGFR2、p-PI3K、HIF-1α的蛋白表达,并逆转了SOX7对HUVEC中上述相关蛋白表达的影响(P<0.01)。PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor 3抑制了PD-L1、V-EGFR2、p-PI3K、HIF-1α的蛋白表达,SOX7过表达在PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor 3的影响下并没有表现出抑制作用。CCK8实验结果显示SOX7过表达显著抑制了HUVEC的增殖能力,Senkyunolide I作用下的两组HUVEC增殖能力较SOX7 NC组与SOX7 mimic组明显上升,PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor 3作用下的两组HUVEC增殖能力较SOX7 NC组与SOX7 mimic组明显下降,以上均有明显统计学差异(P<0.01)。成管实验结果显示SOX7过表达抑制了HUVEC的血管生成,Senkyunolide I强烈加速了血管生成,而PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor 3血管生成则被显著抑制,以上均有明显统计学差异(P<0.01)。结论SOX7通过ERK1/2/PD-L1通路抑制结直肠肿瘤的增殖和血管生成,SOX7可能是晚期CRC患者临床治疗中潜在的抗血管生成靶点。

A Highly Sensitive and Selective Spectrofluorimetric Method for the Determination of Arsenic at Pico-Trace Levels in Some Groundwater, Real, Environmental, Biological, Food and Soil Samples Using 2-(<i>α</i>-Pyridyl)-Thioquinaldinamide

A very simple, ultra-sensitive, highly selective and non-extractive new spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of arsenic at pico-trace levels using 2-(α-pyridyl)-thioquinaldinamide (PTQA) has been developed. PTQA has been proposed as a new analytical reagent for the direct non-extractive spectrofluorimetric determination of Arsenic (V). This novel fluorimetric reagent, PTQA becomes oxidized in a slightly acidic (0.025 - 0.1 M H2SO4) solution with Arsenic (V) in absolute ethanol to produce highly fluorescent oxidized product (λex = 303 nm;λem = 365 nm). Constant and maximum fluorescence intensities were observed over a wide range of acidity (0.025 - 0.1 M H2SO4) for the period between 2 min and 24 h. Linear calibration graphs were obtained for 0.001 - 800-μgL-1 of As, having a detection limit of 0.1-ngL-1;the quantification limit of the reaction system was found to be 1-ngL-1 and the RSD was 0% - 2%. A large excess of over 60 cations, anions and complexion agents (like, chloride, phosphate, azide, tartrate, oxalate, SCN, etc.) do not interfere in the determination. The developed method was successfully used in the determination of arsenic in several Certified Reference Materials (alloys, steels, ores, human urine, hair, nails, bovine liver and sediments) as well as in some biological fluids (human blood, urine, hair, nail and milk), soil samples, food samples (vegetables, fruits, rice, corn and wheat), solutions containing both arsenic (III) and arsenic (V) speciation and complex synthetic mixtures. The results of the proposed method for assessing biological, food and soil samples were comparable with both ICP-OES & AHG-AAS and were found to be in excellent agreement.

Experimental Determination of the Landé g-Factors for 5s^2 ^1S and 5s5p ^3P States of the ^87Sr Atom

We present an experimental determination on the Lande g-factors for the 5 s^2 ^1 S0 and 5 s5 p ^3P0 states in ultra-cold atomic systems, which is important for evaluating the Zeeman shift of the clock transition in the ^87Sr optical lattice clock. The Zeeman shift of the 5 s5 p ^3 P0-5 s^2 ^1 S0 forbidden transition is measured with the π-polarized and σ^±-polarized interrogations at different magnetic field strengths. Moreover, in the g-factor measurement with the σ^±-transition spectra, it is unnecessary to calibrate the external magnetic field. By this means, the ground state 5 s^2 ^1 S0 g-factor for the ^87Sr atom is-1.306（52） ×10^-4, which is the first experimental determination to the best of our knowledge, and the result matches very well with the theoretical estimation. The differential g-factorδg between the 5 s5 p^3 P0 state and the 5 s^2 ^1 S0 state of the ^87Sr atoms is measured in the experiment as well,which are-7.67（36） ×10^-5 with π-transition spectra and-7.72（43） X 10^-5 with σ^±-transition spectra, in good agreement with the previous report [Phys. Rev. A 76（2007） 022510]. This work can also be used for determining the differential g-factor of the clock states for the optical clocks based on other atoms.

APPLICATION OF 2D-NMR TECHNIQUES IN THE STRUCTURE DETERMINATION OF HYPODEMATINE

An alkaloid with a novel structure,named Hypodematine,was isolated from Hypodematium sinense Iwatsuki(belonging to Thelypterdaceae).Its structure was elucidated by means of the ~1H-~1H COSY' ~1H-^(13)C COSY and long-range ~1H-^(13)C COSY spectroscopy to have the skeleton of benzo-aza-cyclooctatetraene with a phenyl substituent.Such basic structure has not been found in the na- tural product before.

Fluorimetric determination of methylmercury with 2, 3-dimercaptonaphthalene

Methylmercury is the most toxic one among the mercury species. Many methods including atomic absorption spectrometry, atomic emission spectrometry, atomic fluorescence spectrometry, gas chromatography, high\|performance liquid chromatography, ion chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis, have been published for the determination of methylmercury. These methods have been reviewed (Li, 1997; 1993; Niu, 1991). These methods require expensive equipment and highly qualified analysts. Although fluorimetric method is sensitive, inexpensive, easy to operate, no data about determination of methylmercury by fluorimetry can be found in the literature. In order to obtain a better method for the determination of methylmercury by fluorimetry, several reagents such as 8\| hydroxyquinoline, 8\|aminoquinoline, 8\|mercaptoquinoline, 2,3\| diaminonaphthalene, 2, 3\|dimercaptonaphthalene were tested. The 2, 3\|dimercaptonaphthalene gave better result than the other reagents. Under the optimal conditions, the concentration of 2, 3\| dimercaptonaphthalene was 5.6×10 -5 mol/L and the pH value of the solution was adjusted to 4.0 with acetate buffer solution. The excitation and emission fluorescence wavelengths of 2,3\| dimercaptonaphthalene-methylmercury complex were 512.5 nm and 500 nm(antistokes), respectively. The linear range was 0.3—80 ng/ml and the detection limit was 0.02 ng/ml. The relative standard deviation was 2.6%. The method may be applied to determine methylmercury in environmental samples, and detailed investigation is in progress.
