Purpose The cancer survival was characterized by following up sampled subgroups of cancer cases from three population-based cancer registries in Northeast China. Materials and Methods Survival analysis was used to analyze 6,871 patients, who had one of the 21 most common cancers based on sampling from the population-based cancer registries of three cities in Liaoning Province. All patients were diagnosed between 2000 and 2002 and were followed up to the end of 2007 by active and passive methods. The 5-year age standardized relative survival rates (ASRS) were estimated for all cancers combined and each of the 21 individual cancers. Results The survival status was traced for 80.8% of 8,506 sampled cancer cases. The 5-year ASRS for all 21 cancers combined was 41.5% (95% confidence interval, 40.3 to 42.7), the highest ASRS was observed for thyroid cancer (85.2%), breast cancer (78.9%), uterine corpus cancer (75.9%), and urinary bladder cancer (70.2%); the lowest 5-year ASRS was noted in pancreatic cancer (8.8%), liver cancer (11.0%), esophageal cancer (18.8), and lung cancer (19.6%). The cancer survival rates in Liaoning cities were similar to those of urban areas in mainland China, but significantly lower than those in Hong Kong, Korea, and Japan. Conclusion The strikingly poor cancer survival rates in three cities of Liaoning Province and in other places in China highlight the need for urgent investment in cancer prevention, early detection, and standardized and centralized treatment.

Influence of and Sn on the Structure and Magnetic Properties of NdFeNB Magnets

Li Liya,Yi Jianhong,Peng Yuan Dong 한국분말야금학회 2006 한국분말야금학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2006 No.1

Addition of 2.0wt% or 0.3wt%Sn proved to be very effective in improving the permanent magnetic properties of NdFeNbB magnets. additions result in the increase in the Hci and temperature dependence due to formation of (NdDy)-rich phase and grain refinement of phase. This improvement of the coercivity stability of the magnets from the addition of Sn is attributed to the smoothing effect of the Sn addition at the grain boundaries. The magnetic properties, the temperature dependence and Curie temperature of NdFeNbB with and Sn combined addition were found to be considerably improved

The triply periodic minimal surface-based 3D printed engineering scaffold for meniscus function reconstruction

Lan Li,Peng Wang,Jing Jin,Chunmei Xie,Bin Xue,Jiancheng Lai,Liya Zhu,Qing Jiang 한국생체재료학회 2022 생체재료학회지 Vol.26 No.4

Background: The meniscus injury is a common disease in the area of sports medicine. The main treatment for this disease is the pain relief, rather than the meniscal function recovery. It may lead to a poor prognosis and accelerate the progression of osteoarthritis. In this study, we designed a meniscal scaffold to achieve the purposes of meniscal function recovery and cartilage protection. Methods: The meniscal scaffold was designed using the triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) method. The scaffold was simulated as a three-dimensional (3D) intact knee model using a finite element analysis software to obtain the results of different mechanical tests. The mechanical properties were gained through the universal machine. Finally, an in vivo model was established to evaluate the effects of the TPMS-based meniscal scaffold on the cartilage protection. The radiography and histological examinations were performed to assess the cartilage and bony structures. Different regions of the regenerated meniscus were tested using the universal machine to assess the biomechanical functions. Results: The TPMS-based meniscal scaffold with a larger volume fraction and a longer functional periodicity demonstrated a better mechanical performance, and the load transmission and stress distribution were closer to the native biomechanical environment. The radiographic images and histological results of the TPMS group exhibited a better performance in terms of cartilage protection than the grid group. The regenerated meniscus in the TPMS group also had similar mechanical properties to the native meniscus. Conclusion: The TPMS method can affect the mechanical properties by adjusting the volume fraction and functional periodicity. The TPMS-based meniscal scaffold showed appropriate features for meniscal regeneration and cartilage protection.

Xinhuang Tablets Improve Intestinal Barrier Function via Regulating Epithelial Tight Junctions in Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Induced Ulcerative Colitis Mice

Meizhu Wu,Aling Shen,Youqin Chen,Liya Liu,Li Li,Senthilkumar Sankararaman,Hongwei Chen,Bin Guan,Zhixue Zhan,Shuhua Nan,Thomas J. Sferra,Jun Peng 한국식품영양과학회 2021 Journal of medicinal food Vol.24 No.1

Intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction is involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease, including ulcerative colitis (UC). Xinhuang tablets (XHTs) have been prescribed for several kinds of inflammatory diseases, including UC, whereas its possible underlying molecular mechanisms had never been explored. Mouse model of UC was constructed by DSS treatment and followed by XHT treatment. Disease activity index, histopathological of colonic tissue, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and serum amyloid A (SAA) levels in serum were further assessed. The underlying mechanism was further explored by determination of the expression of epithelial tight junction-related protein. XHT administration ameliorated dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced clinical symptoms, colonic histological injury, and decreased the circulating levels of TNF-α and SAA. Moreover, XHT treatment significantly increased the protein levels of zona occludens (ZO)-1, whereas decreased the levels of phosphorylation of Elk-1. In conclusion, this study confirmed the therapeutic effects of XHT treatment on UC in a DSS-induced mouse model, and indicated that by increasing expression of epithelial tight junctions and decreasing phosphorylation of Elk-1 might be one of the underlying mechanisms of XHT treatment on UC.

The efficacy of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for biomedical applications depends on the specic targetingcapacity, blood circulation time and magnetic susceptibility. Functionalized chitosan-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles(CS-coated Fe3O4 NPs) were synthesized by a non-solvent-aided coacervation procedure followed by a chemicalcrosslinking procedure. The surfaces of CS-coated Fe3O4 NPs were successfully functionalized with folate-poly(ethyleneglycol)-COOH (FA-PEG) to obtain novel FA-PEG-CS-coated Fe3O4 NPs endowed with long blood circulationand specic targeting capacity. The as-synthesized NPs were characterized by dynamic light scattering, transmissionelectron microscope, X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric analysis, vibration sample magnetometer, Fourier transforminfrared spectroscopy, and confocal laser scanning microscopy. As a result, the novel FA-PEG-CS-coated Fe3O4 NPsshowed excellent biocompatibility, magnetic properties, good dispersibility, and proper hydrodynamic sizes in an aqueousmedium. The specific targeting capacity of the as-synthesized NPs to cancer cells was also investigated. It wasobserved that the uptake of the FA-PEG-CS-coated Fe3O4 NPs by HeLa cells was significantly enhanced comparedto the CS-coated Fe3O4 NPs and mPEG-CS-coated Fe3O4 NPs. These results clearly indicate that our novel FA-PEGCS-coated Fe3O4 NPs with remarkable specific targeting capacity, long blood circulation, and superparamagnetismhold great promise for biomedical applications, including targeted drug delivery and hyperthermia therapy.

Various unpredictable faults often occur when the rocket is on mission. It is very important that the safety control decision is made in time and effectively according to judging and analyzing the fly parameters. The expert system for rocket safety control based on uncertain reasoning is proposed according to the characteristics of parameters. At first the reasoning control strategy is studied on, which provides the method for resolving the conflicts and the search. Then a novel uncertain reasoning model is put forward, and the knowledge’s uncertain representation and processing, the uncertain match algorithm and the certainty factor deliver method are expressed. Simulation experiments show that this system can acquire the craft launching information quickly and accurately, and can determine its sphere of influence, which effectively makes decision for the safety control officer.
