Dong‑Dong Chen,Y. C. Lin 대한금속·재료학회 2019 METALS AND MATERIALS International Vol.25 No.5

To obtain the designed target microstructures of an aged superalloy during isothermal forging, a multi-level processingparameters optimization method is developed based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. In the developedmethod, the accurate material models are used to characterize the microstructural evolution. Based on the designed targetmicrostructures, the global and local optimality criterions are constructed to alternately optimize global and local multi-levelprocessing parameters by the PSO algorithm with a linear decreasing inertia weight strategy. The optimized initial volumefraction of δ phase (δVF), deformation temperature and strain rate are 12.95%, 1000 °C and 0.001 s−1, respectively. Accordingto these optimized parameters, the recrystallization volume fraction, average grain size and δVF are 100%, 11.2 μm and2.1%, respectively, which well agree with the designed targets. Additionally, the processing parameters optimized by thedeveloped method and traditional processing maps are compared. It is found that the developed method is more effective tocontrol microstructures for the studied superalloy.

The importance of repeat screening for stomach cancer is well known to decrease deaths from stomach cancer. This study was aimed at assessing practice behaviors and to identify related factors in the aspects of demographic factors, health status and cancer risk recognition, attitude to cancer screening, health behaviors, and inhibiting or facilitating factors to stomach cancer screening in an urban area. Data was collected through self-administered questionnaires from 403 people aged 40 to 69 years from April 23th to May 15th, 2002. Practice behaviors were classified as :"ver"r "ver"and "peat"r "t repeat"rouped based on a recent 5 year screening history. The results were as follows: 1. Among the 403 subjects: "e ever group"as 23.8% and "e repeat group"as 4.0%. The rates of screening were 20.5% for men, 27.8% for those women, and 27.3% for aged 40-49, 24.5% for those aged 50-59, 19.0% for those aged 60-69. The rates of repeat screening were 4.0% for men, 4.1% for women, and 2.9% for those aged 40-49, 6.3% for aged 50-59, 2.5% for those aged 60-69. 2. The main factors associated with adherence to gastric cancer screening were education(post high school vs below : OR=2.44), previous cancer screening(yes vs no : OR=2.61), belief in personal health(no vs yes : OR=2.72), health status(unhealthy vs healthy : OR=3.40), possibility of cancer compared to others(low vs not low : OR=2.56), and regular exercise(yes vs no : OR=2.94). The main factor associated with adherence to gastric cancer repeat screening was other cancer screening (yes vs no : OR=6.33). Consequently, there is a need to change the recognition of the importance and necessity of stomach cancer screening in healthy conditions through health education, and to perform multiple screening tests each visit.

Objectives In the past centuries, the concept of “physical education” has changed from a more general concepts including physical activities and sports, to specifically inferring “instruction of physical activity”. Instead, “sports” has become the comprehensive concept of sports, exercise, and physical education. Given to the inconsistent terminologies and English translations of “體育 (ti-yu)” (physical education) and “運 動 (yun-dong)” (sports or exercise) in Mandarin, the purpose of this study was to investigate in the current terminology usage, hierarchy, and the English translation of “體育 (ti-yu)” and “運動 (yun-dong)” in Taiwan. Met hods Three government authorities, two sport related universities, eight top sport and exercise journals, and nighty-six college departments in Taiwan were analyzed. Results “運動 (yun-dong)” was the most widely used terminology as “體育 (ti-yu)” occupied the majority usage among government authorities, sport related universities, and title of top sport and exercise journals. Regarding English translation, despite of “department of physical education”, “sports” remained the most common terminology. Moreover, “體育 (ti-yu)” and “sports” are the highest hierarchy among government authorities, and sport related university; “體育 (ti-yu)” and “physical education” are the highest hierarchy among traditional sport and exercise journals; “運動 (yun-dong)” and “sports” are the highest hierarchy among college departments also the mainstream of current translation and hierarchy. Conclusions “體育 (ti-yu)” was the highest hierarchy in the past. However, “運動 (yun-dong)” has been the mainstream of the highest hierarchy in Mandarin according to college departments. In English, “sport(s)” is the main term in Taiwan when translating “體育 (ti-yu)” and 運動 (yun-dong)”, also being the highest hierarchy. On the other hand, “體育 (ti-yu)” and “physical education” are utilized regarding those departments focusing on educating PE teachers. This study expects the terminology, English translations, and hierarchy being align with the mainstream of current translation and hierarchy in the future.

Objective: To investigate the changes of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), soluble interleukin-2 receptor (SIL-2R) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) contents in patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) before and after percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy (PMCT) and determine their clinical significance. Materials and Methods: Fasting venous blood (3 mL) from 81 patients with primary HCC diagnosed by pathology was collected in the mornings 1 day before PMCT, and 1 day, 7 days and 1 month after PMCT, and then the serum was separated and stored in $-70^{\circ}C$. The contents of VEGF, SIL-2R and HGF were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: The serum VEGF, SIL-2R and HGF contents in 81 patients with primary HCC had obviously dynamic changes before and after PMCT. By comparison to 1 day after PMCT with pre-operation, there was no statistical significance regarding VEGF and SIL-2R contents (P>0.05), but HGF content showed significant difference (P<0.01). Compared with pre-operation, VEGF, SIL-2R and HGF contents 7 days and 1 month after PMCT all manifested significant differences (P<0.01). By comparison to 7 days with 1 month after PMCT, there was no statistical significance regarding the VEGF content (P>0.05), whereas SIL-2R and HGF contents showed significant change (P<0.01). Conclusions: The contents of serum VEGF, SIL-2R and HGF have obviously dynamic changes in primary HCC before and after PMCT, and their joint detection is expected to be an effective hematologic evaluation index of PMCT for primary HCC.

Nitric oxide-caused rabbit chondrocyte apoptosis is linked to cytoskeletal protein proteolysis anomaly through intracellular JNK and ERK signal pathways

Chen Qun,Kao Xibin,Gao Yan,Chen Jinghong,Dong Zhaoheng,Chen Chen 대한독성 유전단백체 학회 2023 Molecular & cellular toxicology Vol.19 No.1

Backgrounds Nitric oxide (NO) plays a key role in the pathological chondrocyte apoptosis of osteoarthritis (OA). Cytoskeletal proteins form cytoskeleton network to maintain normal chondrocyte structure and function. JNK and ERK pathways are the signal pathways involved in the cell apoptosis. The role of cytoskeletal proteins in cytoskeleton perturbation and cell apoptosis was investigated in this study. Objectives In vitro cell apoptosis was induced in rabbit articular chondrocytes by NO donor Sodium Nitroprusside (SNP). The JNK-specific inhibitor SP600125 and ERK-specific inhibitor PD98059 were employed to clarify the mechanism. The level of apoptosis was evaluated by TUNEL assay and Annexin V flow cytometry. Results SNP induced concentration-dependent apoptosis, which was further enhanced by PD98059 but reduced by SP600125. Furthermore, PD98059 significantly increased caspase-3 expression and activity respectively, whereas SP600125 reduced caspase- 3 expression and activity. SP600125 increased the cytoskeletal protein mRNA and protein expression, while PD98059 decreased them. Conclusion Intracellular JNK/ERK pathways were involved in chondrocyte apoptosis induced by SNP through oppositely regulated effects on cytoskeletal proteins; ERK pathway protected cytoskeletal protein from dissolution via inhibition of caspase-3 activation, while JNK pathway promoted the dissolution via activation of caspase-3 activity.

Dong-Feng Chen,Xican Li,Zhiwei Xu,Xiaobing Liu,Shao-Hui Du,Hui Li,Jian-Hong Zhou,He-Ping Zeng,Zi-Chun Hua 한국식품영양과학회 2010 Journal of medicinal food Vol.13 No.4

Buzhong Yiqi decoction (BYD) is a well-known ancient tonic prescription in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The purpose of this study is to identify active components of BYD involved in promoting proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and to investigate its mechanism. BYD was extracted with petroleum ether, ethanol, and water. Evidence provided by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, bromodeoxyuridine, proliferation cell nuclear antigen immunoreactivity, cell cycle analysis, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry indicated that hexadecanoic acid (HA) in BYD extracted with petroleum ether is the active compound responsible for increasing proliferation of MSCs. Western blot analysis show that HA significantly increase retinoic acid receptor (RAR) levels of MSCs, but not estrogen receptor, thyroid hormone receptor, vitamin D receptor, glucocorticoid receptor, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction revealed that HA significantly increased RAR mRNA levels. Furthermore, the mechanism of HA action depends on RAR pathway and up-regulates expression of mRNA for insulin-like growth factor-I, the target gene of RAR. Our findings have now allowed for a refinement in our understanding of TCM with respect to pharmacological regulation of stem cells and may be useful to stem cell biology and therapy.
