Aims: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several risk variants for prostate cancer (pCa) mainly in Europeans, which need to be further verified in other racial groups. We selected six previously identified variants as candidates and to define the association with PCa in Northern Han Chinese. Methods: 749 subjects from Beijing and Tianjin in Northern China were included. Six variants (rs10505474, rs7837328, rs4242384, rs7813, rs486907 and rs1058205) were genotyped by high resolution melting (HRM) assays. The individual and cumulative contribution for of the risk of PCa and clinical covariates were analyzed. Results: Among the six candidate variants, onlyrs10505474, and rs7837328, both locating at 8q24 region, were associated with PCa in our population.rs10505474 (A) was associated with PCa ($OR_{recessive}=1.56$, p=0.006); and rs7837328 (A) was associated with PCa ($OR_{dominant}=1.38$, p=0.042/$OR_{recessive}=1.99$, p=0.003). Moreover, we observed a cumulative effects between them ($p_{trend}=2.58{\times}10^{-5}$). The joint population attributable risk showed the two variants might account for 71.85% of PCa risk. In addition, we found the homozygotes of rs10505474 (A) and rs7837328 (A) were associated with PCa clinical covariants (age at onset, tumor stage, respectively) ($p_{age}=0.046$, $P_{tumorstage}=0.048$). Conclusion: rs10505474 (A) and rs7387328 (A) at 8q24 are associated with PCa and cumulatively confer risk, suggesting the two variations could determine susceptibility to PCa in the Northern Chinese Han population.

Zheng, Zhi-Yong,Lee, Jin-Woo,Zhan, Xiao Bei,Shi, Zhongping,Wang, Lei,Zhu, Li,Wu, Jian-Rong,Lin, Chi Chung Korean Society for Biotechnology and Bioengineerin 2007 Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering Vol.12 No.4
A comprehensive metabolic network was proposed for Alcaligenes faecalis and employed in a stoichiometrically based flux balance model for curdlan production optimization. The maximal yield of curdlan was evaluated for curdlan batch production. Various metabolic structures and metabolic pathway distributions related with the curdlan maximal yield was evaluated. The results showed that the energy efficiency rather than the substrate supply was the major constraint for the enhancement of curdlan production. The increase in specific rate of glucose uptake could enhance curdlan production yield due to the decrease of the ratio of metabolic maintenance to substrate consumption. However, some of the energy loss and nutrient limitation associated with the increase of metabolic maintenance would adversely affect the conversion efficiency of the substrate.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RI/R) is one of the main causes of acute renal injury and a commonclinical disease with high morbidity and mortality. It is of great significance to deliver microRNAs(miRNAs) to cells and in vivo to realize gene regulation and treatment of related diseases. In this study, wereported that the nanocomplex FMN-17 could realize both therapeutic and functional monitoringsimultaneously in vivo and in vitro. The nanocomplex comprised a cationic cell-penetrating peptidenona-arginine, a targeting ligand folic acid, a caspase-3 responsive moiety, and a Cy imaging moiety. Thenanocomplex FMN-17 has been shown to deliver miR-17-5p efficiently and selectively into HK-2 cells andtissues. Treatment of HK-2 cells with the nanocomplex significantly increased the miR-17-5p level andinhibited apoptosis, as evident by reducing the expression of active caspase-3 and reactive oxygenspecies. Uptake of FMN-17 in vivo alleviated renal tissue injury by histological assessment. In summary,we designed and synthesized a new miRNA delivery system with high transfection efficiency, goodtherapeutic effect, and near-infrared imaging in renal ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Tryptone has multiple and complex effects on cell physiology and process performance in pulse fed-batch cultivation of recombinant Escherichia coli. By applying feedback control of dissolved oxygen signal responding to pulse in the feed rate, the production of acetate was avoided and the optimization of production of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) was successfully achieved. With the addition of an optimum amount of tryptone along with glucose in the pulse fed-batch cultivation of E. coli, the ability of the cell to divide and the stability of the plasmid within the bacteria were improved. Consequently, segregation of the cells into a viable but non-culturable physiological state was alleviated. Addition of tryptone also enhanced cell respiration before and after hEGF expression and thus further benefited the production of recombinant hEGF. Excessive addition of tryptone resulted in low sensitivity of the oscillation of dissolved oxygen signal and poor operability of pulse fed-batch cultivation as this led to an accumulation of acetate, which weakened the dissolved oxygen signal responses. Consequently, the production of recombinant protein was considerably reduced. By combining the process performance and the positive effect of complex media pulse addition on bacterial metabolism, the optimal production conditions of hEGF were successfully determined. A high cell density of 91 g/L dry cell weight was obtained under these optimal production conditions. Furthermore, a high level of 0.24 g/L hEGF was attained leading to a 32.6% increase in product yield as compared to the controls.

The objective of this study was to investigate the diagnostic significance of EBV antibody combined detection for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in a high incidence region of southern China. Two hundred and eleven untreated NPC patients, 203 non-NPC ENT patients, and 210 healthy controls were recruited for the study. The titers of VCA/IgA and EA/IgA were assessed by immunoenzyme assay, and the levels of Rta/IgG and EBNA1/IgA were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The levels of VCA/IgA, EA/IgA, Rta/IgG and EBNA1/IgA demonstrated no association with gender or age (p>0.05). The receiver operating characteristic curve and the area under the curve were used to evaluate the diagnostic value. The sensitivity of VCA/IgA (98.1%) and the specificity of EA/IgA (98.5%) were the highest. When a logistic regression model was used to combine the results from multiple antibodies to increase the accuracy, the combination of VCA/IgA+Rta/IgG, whose area under the curve was 0.99, had the highest diagnostic efficiency, and its sensitivity, specificity and Youden index were 94.8%, 98.0% and 0.93 respectively. The data suggest that the combination of VCA/IgA+Rta/IgG may be most suitable for NPC serodiagnosis.
OPTIMAL LAUNCHING-INTENTION-AWARE CONTROL STRATEGY FOR AUTOMATED CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT
Yi-yong Yang,Zao-bei Zhu,Xiang-yu Wang,Zheng Chen,Zi-lin Ma 한국자동차공학회 2017 International journal of automotive technology Vol.18 No.3
Clutch engagement control is critical during launching process in a vehicle equipped with an automated manual transmission (AMT), which is a problem including muti-objective optimization and nonlinear control. In this paper, a optimal launching-intention-aware control strategy is proposed for clutch engagement. Firstly, a launching-intention-aware machine (LIAM) based on artificial neural network (ANN) is designed to identify the driver’s launching intentions. Then the optimal laws of clutch engagement for different launching conditions are obtained based on the dynamic programming (DP), which regard friction loss, vehicle shock, angular acceleration of engine and engine torque as the optimizing indexes. Next, a slidingmode controller (SMC) is designed for the clutch engagement. Finally, the performances of the optimal laws and the SMC are validated by the joint simulation of Simulink-AMESim, and the results show that the requirements of vehicle launching are met. The proposed clutch engagement control strategy would provide a better theoretical support for the practical-extended application of AMT.

Esophageal carcinoma (EC) is one of the most aggressive cancers with a poor prognosis. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying esophageal cancer progression is a high priority for improved EC diagnosis and prognosis. Recently, MSP58 was shown to behave as an oncogene in colorectal carcinomas and gliomas. However, little is known about its function in esophageal carcinomas. We therefore examined the effects of MSP58 knockdown on the growth of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells in vitro and in vivo in order to gain a better understanding of its potential as a tumor therapeutic target. We employed lentiviral-mediated small hairpin RNA (shRNA) to knock down the expression of MSP58 in the ESCC cell lines Eca-109 and EC9706 and demonstrated inhibition of ESCC cell proliferation and colony formation in vitro. Furthermore, flow cytometry and western blot analyses revealed that MSP58 depletion induced cell cycle arrest by regulating the expression of P21, CDK4 and cyclin D1. Notably, the downregulation of MSP58 significantly inhibited the growth of ESCC xenografts in nude mice. Our results suggest that MSP58 may play an important role in ESCC progression.

Endophytes play an important role in the growth and development of the host. However, the study of endophytes is mostly focused on plants, and reports on bacteria associated with fungi are relatively rare. We studied the bacteria associated with fruiting bodies of Tricholoma matsutake picked from seven main T. matsutake-producing areas in Sichuan, China, by barcoded pyrosequencing. About 8,272 reads were obtained per sample, representing 40 phyla, 103 classes, and 495 genera of bacteria and archaea, and 361.797 operational taxonomic units were observed at a 97% similarity level. The bacterial community was always both more abundant and more diverse than the archaeal community. UniFrac analysis showed there were some difference of bacterial communities among the samples sites. Three bacterial phyla, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes, were dominant in all samples. Correlation analysis showed there was a significant correlation between some soil properties and bacterial community associated with T. matsutake. This study demonstrated that the bacteria associated with T. matsutake fruiting bodies were diversified. Among these bacteria, we may find some strains that can promote the growth of T. matsutake.
