The complex of [La 2(P MBA) 6(PHEN) 2]2H 2O (P MBA: p methylbenzoate and PHEN: 1,10 phenanthroline) was prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. The thermal behavior of [La 2(P MBA) 6(PHEN) 2]2H 2O in dynamic nitrogen atmosphere was investigated by TG DTG techniques. The results show that the thermal decomposition process of the [La 2(P MBA) 6(PHEN) 2]2H 2O occurs in five steps. The empirical kinetic model for the first step thermal decomposition obtained by Malek method is SB(m,n). The activation energy E and the pre exponential factor lnA for this step reaction are 76.4 kJ·mol -1 and 24.92, respectively.

The influence of pore structure on P-& S-wave velocities in complex carbonate reservoirs with secondary storage space

Secondary storage spaces with very complex geometries are well developed in Ordovician carbonate reservoirs in the Tarim Basin,which is taken as a study case in this paper.It is still not clear how the secondary storage space shape influences the P-＆ S-wave velocities （or elastic properties） in complex carbonate reservoirs.In this paper,three classical rock physics models （Wyllie timeaverage equation,Gassmann equation and the Kuster-Toks z model） are comparably analyzed for their construction principles and actual velocity prediction results,aiming at determining the most favourable rock physics model to consider the influence of secondary storage space shape.Then relationships between the P-＆ S-wave velocities in carbonate reservoirs and geometric shapes of secondary storage spaces are discussed from different aspects based on actual well data by employing the favourable rock physics model.To explain the influence of secondary storage space shape on V P-V S relationship,it is analyzed for the differences of S-wave velocities between derived from common empirical relationships （including Castagna＇s mud rock line and Greenberg-Castagna V P-V S relationship） and predicted by the rock physics model.We advocate that V P-V S relationship for complex carbonate reservoirs should be built for different storage space types.For the carbonate reservoirs in the Tarim Basin,the V P-V S relationships for fractured,fractured-cavernous,and fractured-hole-vuggy reservoirs are respectively built on the basis of velocity prediction and secondary storage space type determination.Through the discussion above,it is expected that the velocity prediction and the V P-V S relationships for complex carbonate reservoirs should fully consider the influence of secondary storage space shape,thus providing more reasonable constraints for prestack inversion,further building a foundation for realizing carbonate reservoir prediction and fluid prediction.

Two new zinc（Ⅱ） complexes, [Zn2L2Ch].2[ZnL（CH3OH）Cl2] 1 and [ZnL2（NO3）2] 2, were synthesized by reacting ZnX2.nH2O （X = Cl^-, NO3^-） and a Schiff base ligand 2-[（4-methylphenylimino）methyl]-6-methoxyphenol （C15HIsNO2, L） which was obtained by the condensation of o-vanillin （2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde） with p-toluidine. Both 1 and 2 were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique, elemental analysis, molar conductance, FT-IR, UV-Vis, IH-NMR spectra and thermogravimetrie analysis. The Schiff base ligand and its zinc（Ⅱ） complexes have been tested in vitro to evaluate their antibacterial activity against bacteria, viz., Escherichia Coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus Subtilis. The results show that these complexes have higher activity than the corresponding free Schiff base ligand against the same bacteria.

In order to overcome all encapsulation variations during a complex coacervation process, the replacement of gelatin cationic polymer has been performed using p(AMA).

The emission spectra of the complexes without silver NPs were compared with spectra of the same complexes with addition of silver NPs. As the result of the interaction of the electronic levels of lanthaaide ligands with silver plasmons, dramatic increase of luminescence was observed.

The Golden Ratio Theorem, deeply rooted in fractal mathematics, presents a pioneering perspective on deciphering complex systems. It draws a profound connection between the principles of interchangeability, self-similarity, and the mathematical elegance of the Golden Ratio. This research unravels a unique methodological paradigm, emphasizing the omnipresence of the Golden Ratio in shaping system dynamics. The novelty of this study stems from its detailed exposition of self-similarity and interchangeability, transforming them from mere abstract notions into actionable, concrete insights. By highlighting the fractal nature of the Golden Ratio, the implications of these revelations become far-reaching, heralding new avenues for both theoretical advancements and pragmatic applications across a spectrum of scientific disciplines.

BACKGROUND We described the main features of an infant diagnosed with facial dysmorphic,language failure,intellectual disability and congenital malformations to strengthen our understanding of the disease.Currently,treatment is only rehabilitation and surgery for cleft lip and palate.CASE SUMMARY The proband was a 2-years-8-months-old girl.Familial history was negative for congenital malformations or intellectual disability.The patient had microcephaly,upward-slanting palpebral fissures,depressed nasal bridge,bulbous nose and bilateral cleft lip and palate.Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed cortical atrophy and band heterotopia.Her motor and intellectual development is delayed.A submicroscopic deletion in 11p13 involving the elongator acetyltransferase complex subunit 4 gene(ELP4)and a loss of heterozygosity in Xq25-q26.3 were detected.CONCLUSION There is no treatment for the ELP4 deletion caused by a submicroscopic 11p3 deletion.We describe a second case of deletion of the ELP4 gene without aniridia,which confirms the association between ELP4 gene with several defects and absence of this ocular defect.Additional clinical data in the deletion of the ELP4 gene as cleft palate,facial dysmorphism,and changes at level brain could be associated to this gene or be part of the effect of the recessives genes involved in the loss of heterozygosity region of Xq25-26.3.

MiR-30e-3p inhibits gastric cancer development by negatively regulating THO complex 2 and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling

BACKGROUND Gastric cancer(GC)is a common type of digestive cancer with high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide.Considerable effort has been expended in understanding the mechanism of GC development and metastasis.The current study therefore explores the involvement of microRNAs in the regulation of GC progression.AIM To explore the expression and function of miR-30e-3p in GC development.METHODS MiR-30e-3p was found to be downregulated in GC,with low levels thereof predicting poor outcomes among patients with GC.Functionally,we revealed that miR-30e-3p suppressed cell growth and metastatic behaviors of GC cells.Bioinformatics analysis predicted that THO complex 2(THOC2)was a direct target of miR-30e-3p,and the interaction between miR-30e-3p and THOC2 was further validated by a luciferase reporter assay.RESULTS Our findings revealed that knockdown of THOC2 inhibited the growth and metastatic behaviors of GC cells.After investigating signaling pathways involved in miR-30e-3p regulation,we found that the miR-30e-3p/THOC2 axis regulated the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in GC.CONCLUSION Our findings suggest the novel functional axis miR-30e-3p/THOC2 is involved in GC development and progression.The miR-30e-3p/THOC2 axis could be utilized to develop new therapies against GC.

Characteristics of Corona Textures in the HuangtulingGranulite in the Dabie Complex, China and Their Implications for Tectonic Settings

Widely developed in the Dabie complex are various disequilibrium textures whichprovide direct evidence for the evolution of metamorphism and late-stage uplifting history. Thetypical mineral assemblage in the Opx-Gt Pl-Bi gneiss in Huangtuling, Luotian County, HubeiProvince, is Opx(I ) + Gt + Pl(I ) + Bi(I ) + Q. The corona composed of cordierite and orthopyroxene (Ⅱ) growing around garnets in the granulite makes it clear that there occurredthe following metamorphic reaction: Gt + Q→Cd + Opx(Ⅱ). It is estimated that the granulite-forming temperature (T ) and pressure (P ) are 857 - 998° and 1. 18 - 1. 23 GPa, respectively, and the corona was formed under the following conditions: T = 829 - 911℃ and P= 0. 53-0. 59 GPa. The above results indicate that there occurred a rapid and nearly adiabaticuplifting event and a decompressional metamorphism in the Dabie complex after the formationof granulite. As compared with the granulites worldwidely distributed in 90 locations (Harley,1989), the Huangtuling granulite should belong to the high-pressure type, which representsthe composition of the crust at a depth of more than 40 kilometers.
