Background: Abnormal glucose metabolism is a risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC). However, association of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) with CRC risk remains under-reported. We examined the association between glycemic indicators (HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, fasting insulin, 2-hour glucose, 2-hour insulin, and homeostasis model of risk assessment-insulin resistance index) and CRC risk using prospective analysis and meta-analysis.Methods: Participants (<i>n</i>=1,915) from the Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study-Cardiovascular Disease Substudy were included. CRC events were identified through record linkage. Cox regression was used to assess the associations of glycemic indicators with CRC risk. A meta-analysis was performed to investigate the association between HbA1c and CRC risk.Results: During an average of 12.9 years follow-up (standard deviation, 2.8), 42 incident CRC cases occurred. After adjusting for potential confounders, the hazard ratio (95% confidence interval [CI]) of CRC for per % increment in HbA1c was 1.28 (95% CI, 1.01 to 1.63) in overall population, 1.51 (95% CI, 1.13 to 2.02) in women and 1.06 (95% CI, 0.68 to 1.68) in men. No significant association of other measures of glycemic indicators and baseline diabetes with CRC risk was found. Meta-analyses of 523,857 participants including our results showed that per % increment of HbA1c was associated with 13% higher risk of CRC, with the pooled risk ratio being 1.13 (95% CI, 1.01 to 1.27). Subgroupanalyses found stronger associations in women, colon cancer, Asians, and case-control studies.Conclusion: Higher HbA1c was a significant predictor of CRC in the general population. Our findings shed light on the pathology of glucose metabolism and CRC, which warrants more in-depth investigation.

Free-standing lms of PPy(CF₃SO₃) were galvanostatically electropolymerised in propylene carbonate on a stainless steel electrodeusing dierent deposition current densities. The actuation performance of these lms in an aqueous 1.0 M NaPF6 electrolyte was inves-linear strain of the lms decreased with a higher deposition current density. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to estimate theamount of ‘disordered carbon’, carbonyl carbon and the doping level of the lms. These values were related to the strain obtained fromECMD measurements. SEM images revealed a denser lm morphology for lms deposited using a lower current density.

Preparation of activated carbon from Thalia dealbata was carried out. The T. dealbata-derived activated carbon (TDAC) was characterized by BET, SEM and FTIR. The potential of TDAC to remove reactive brilliant blue from aqueous solutions was investigated under varying conditions of pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, initial dye concentration, and temperature. Adsorption equilibrium, and kinetics were further studied. Adsorption was favored under acid conditions, and the process attained equilibrium in 30 min. The pseudo-second-order model could best describe the adsorption kinetics. The equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir and Freundlich models, and the maximum capacity was 555 mg g-1.

The transport properties of a Si3 atomic wire system, which is formed by a Si3 cluster connected to two lithium electrodes with bias applied, is studied using the simulator Virtual NanoLab that is constructed based on the non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) scheme. We investigated the Si3 atomic wire system under three strain conditions (tensile, compressive and shear). Different trends in the I-V characteristics are observed for the three cases at various applied biases. The transmission spectrum T(E, Vb), as a function of energy and applied biases, are analyzed. The interactions among eigenstates of the molecular projected self-consistent Hamiltonian (MPSH) strongly affect the transport properties of the system.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of Horse riding simulator exercise on pain, dysfunction and dynamic balance in adults with nonspecific chronic low back pain. METHODS: In this study, total 19 college students usually complain of low back pain who were randomly divided into the horse riding simulator exercise group (n=10), lumbar strengthening exercise group (n=9) were recruited. Each group carried out for 30 minutes exercise three times a week for 4 weeks. Horse riding simulator exercise group carried out 15 minutes horse riding simulator exercise and 15 minutes lumbar strengthening exercise. Lumbar strengthening exercise group carried out 30 minutes lumbar strengthening exercise. Visual analogue scale (VAS) were measured for evaluation back pain. Korean oswestry disability index (KODI) were measured for dysfunction. Limits of stability (LOS) were measured for dynamic balance. RESULTS: VAS, KODI, LOS results showed a significant change within both horse riding simulator exercise group, lumbar strengthening exercise group. CONCLUSION: Present study suggested that the horse riding simulator exercise can improve back pain, dysfunction, dynamic balance. Horse riding simulator exercise provides more convenience, interest and motivation than conversional therapy and it could be a possible approach to adults with nonspecific chronic low back pain.

The physical mechanisms of electron mobility and balistic drain curent enhancement by stress are investigated. From modified higher-order k·p band calculations, the stress-induced split of the conduction band edge and the effective mass change are quantitatively evaluated. It was experimentaly and theoreticaly demonstrated that the energy surface of 2-fold valeys in Si NMOSFETs on a (001) wafers is especially warped due to a uniaxial [110] stress, resulting in a lighter transverse effective mass of the 2-fold valleys parallel to the stress. The physical reasons for the warped subband structure and the abnormal mobility enhancement caused by the uniaxial stres are investigated. The rates of variation of the experimental electron mobility in NMOSFETs on wafers with (01) orientations undera <110> uniaxial stress as a function of the channel direction is theoretically studied. The limits of electron mobility enhancement and the effectiveness of stress enginering in enhancing the balistic drain current of NMOSFETs are also discussed.

We previously cloned and analyzed the 1,893-bp promoter region (−1,915 to −23) of the tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) Lehsp23.8 gene, whose expression is induced by treatment with high or low temperatures, heavy metal, or abscisic acid (ABA). In our present work, we examined how this expression is regulated. A comprehensive quantitative promoter deletion and base-substitution analysis was conducted under various environmental conditions. The proximal region (−565 to −23 bp) of the Lehsp23.8 promoter harbors cis-regulatory elements that conferred high levels of heat-induced expression in transgenic tobacco. Mutation of the five proximal HSEs (HSE1 to 5) of that promoter led to an absence of heat inducibility. The AT-rich regions between −255 bp and −565 bp (AT-rich1 to 4) in the promoter might serve as enhancers for such heat-induced expression. Deletion and HSE mutation analysis indicated that other cis-acting elements also function in response to low temperature, heavy metal, and ABA and that HSE1 to 5 act at least as cis-acting elements in multiple-stress responses of Lehsp23.8. These results reveal that those five proximal HSEs and AT-rich regions function interdependently in the expression of Lehsp23.8 in response to non-heat stresses. Furthermore, the putative elements CRT/DRE, AP-1, and ABRE in that promoter are not required for multiple-stress induction.

Objectives. Reactive oxygen species in the stria vascularis (SV) of the cochlea may be involved in the pathogenesis of sen-sorineural hearing loss. However, the effects of oxidative stress on SV endothelial cells (SV-ECs) remain largely un-known, and no feasible in vitro cell culture model exists for the functional study of SV-ECs. Methods. We isolated primary SV-ECs from the SV of neonatal mice. The apoptosis-reducing effects of fibronectin in SV-ECs cultured with serum-free medium were determined using β-galactosidase staining and flow cytometry. SV-ECsincubated in serum-free medium were treated with various H2O2 concentrations to evaluate the effects of H2O2 ontheir viability. The secretome of SV-ECs treated with or without H2O2 (100 μM or 500 μM) was analyzed using high-resolution mass spectrometry. The function of the SV-EC secretome was evaluated by a macrophage assay. Results. We successfully isolated and characterized the SV-ECs. Treatment with H2O2 at concentrations up to 500 μM for2 hours and further incubation with serum-free medium in plates precoated with fibronectin showed no significanteffect on apoptosis. Compared to the control SV-ECs, the amount of differential proteins in the secretome of SV-ECsstimulated with 500 μM H2O2 was much higher than in those treated with 100 μM H2O2. Kyoto Encyclopedia ofGenes and Genomes and Gene Ontology analyses suggested that the proteins differentially expressed in SV-ECstreated with 500 μM H2O2 were involved in the regulation of multiple signaling pathways and cellular processes. Thesecretome of H2O2-stimulated SV-ECs exhibited significant pro-inflammatory effects on macrophages. Conclusion. We successfully established an in vitro serum-free culture method, identified the differential proteins releasedby oxidative stress-induced ECs and their functions, and revealed the pro-inflammatory effects of the secretome ofH2O2-stimulated SV-ECs. Therefore, SV-ECs might elicit immunoregulatory effects on bystander cells in the microen-vironment of oxidative stress-induced cochlea, especially cochlear macrophages.

Objective : Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a member of the neurotrophic factor family and plays a vital role in the physiological processes of organisms, especially in the nervous system. Many recent studies have reported that NGF is also involved in the regulation of tumourigenesis by either promoting or suppressing tumor growth, which depends on the location and type of tumor. However, little is known regarding the effect of NGF on interspinal schwannoma (IS). In the present study, we aimed to explored whether mouse nerve growth factor (mNGF), which is widely used in the clinic, can influence the growth of interspinal schwannoma cells (ISCs) isolated from IS in vitro. Methods : ISCs were isolated, cultured and identified by S-100 with immunofluorescence analysis. S-100-positive cells were divided into five groups, and separately cultured with various concentrations of mNGF (0 [phosphate buffered saline, PBS], 40, 80, 160, and 320 ng/mL) for 24 hours. Western blot and quantantive real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were applied to detect tyrosine kinase A (TrkA) receptor and p75 neurotrophin receptor ($p75^{NTR}$) in each group. Crystal violet staining was selected to assess the effect of mNGF (160 ng/mL) on ISCs growth. Results : ISCs growth was enhanced by mNGF in a dose-dependent manner. The result of crystal violet staining revealed that it was significantly strengthened the cells growth kinetics when cultured with 160 ng/mL mNGF compared to PBS group. Western blot and quantantive real time PCR discovered that TrkA receptor and mRNA expression were both up-regualated under the condition of mNGF, expecially in 160 ng/mL, while the exoression of $p75^{NTR}$ demonstrated no difference among groups. Conclusion : From these data, we conclude that exogenous mNGF can facilitate ISC growth by activating both TrkA receptor and $p75^{NTR}$. In addition, patients who are suffering from IS should not be administered mNGF in the clinic.
