Estrogens are considered the major breast cancer risk factor, and the carcinogenic potential of estrogens might be attributed to DNA modification caused by derivatives formed during metabolism. $17{\beta}$-estradiol ($E_2$), the main steroidal estrogen present in women, is metabolized via two major pathways: formation of 2-hydroxyestradiol (2-OH $E_2$) and 4-hydroxyestradiol ($4-OH\;E_2$) through the action of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1 and 1B1, respectively. Previous reports suggested that $2-OH\;E_2$ has putative protective effects, while $4-OH\;E_2$ is genotoxic and has potent carcinogenic activity. Thus, the ratio of $2-OH\;E_2/4-OH\;E_2$ is a critical determinant of the toxicity of $E_2$ in mammary cells. In the present study, we investigated the effects of berberine on the expression profile of the estrogen metabolizing enzymes CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 in breast cancer MCF-7 cells. Berberine treatment produced significant induction of both forms at the level of mRNA expression, but with increased doses produced 16~ to 52~fold greater induction of CYP1A1 mRNA over CYP1B1 mRNA. Furthermore, berberine dramatically increased CYP1A1 protein levels but did not influence CYP1B1 protein levels in MCF-7 cells. In conclusion, we present the first report to show that berberine may provide protection against breast cancer by altering the ratio of CYP1A1/CYP1B1, could redirect $E_2$ metabolism in a more protective pathway in breast cancer MCF-7 cells.

Genomic Screening for Targets Regulated by Berberine in Breast Cancer Cells
Wen, Chun-Jie,Wu, Lan-Xiang,Fu, Li-Juan,Yu, Jing,Zhang, Yi-Wen,Zhang, Xue,Zhou, Hong-Hao Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2013 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.14 No.10
Berberine, a common isoquinoline alkaloid, has been shown to possess anti-cancer activities. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are still not completely understood. In the current study, we investigated the effects of berberine on cell growth, colony formation, cell cycle distribution, and whether it improved the anticancer efficiency of cisplatin and doxorubicin in human breast cancer estrogen receptor positive (ER+) MCF-7 cells and estrogen receptor negative (ER-) MDA-MB-231 cells. Notably, berberine treatment significantly inhibited cell growth and colony formation in the two cell lines, berberine in combination with cisplatin exerting synergistic growth inhibitory effects. Accompanied by decreased growth, berberine induced G1 phase arrest in MCF-7 but not MDA-MB-231 cells. To provide a more detailed understanding of the mechanisms of action of berberine, we performed genome-wide expression profiling of berberine-treated cells using cDNA microarrays. This revealed that there were 3,397 and 2,706 genes regulated by berberine in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, respectively. Fene oncology (GO) analysis identified that many of the target genes were involved in regulation of the cell cycle, cell migration, apoptosis, and drug responses. To confirm the microarray data, qPCR analysis was conducted for 10 selected genes based on previously reported associations with breast cancer and GO analysis. In conclusion, berberine exhibits inhibitory effects on breast cancer cells proliferation, which is likely mediated by alteration of gene expression profiles.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, and its prevalence is increasing. AD usually elicits skin barrier dysfunction, dry skin and itching. As the mechanisms of AD remain unknown, there is an urgent need to find effective therapies. Because of the diversity and complexity of marine environments, the discovery of drugs from marine organisms as novel therapeutic agents for human diseases has seen renewed interest. Dihydroaustrasulfone alcohol (WA-25), the synthetic precursor of austrasulfone, which is a natural product isolated from a Formosan soft coral, has been shown to possess many therapeutic effects in our previous studies. However, the detailed mechanisms and therapeutic effects of WA-25 on AD are incompletely understood. We performed in vitro and in vivo studies to examine the effects of WA-25 on AD. We showed that WA-25 blocks inflammation and oxidative stress. Simultaneously, we also found that WA-25 reduces the AD scores and AD-induced transepidermal water loss (TEWL), scratching behavior, and alloknesis. WA-25 is more effective in cases of AD than are the drugs that are currently used clinically. Importantly, we also found that when nucleophosmin (NPM) was inhibited or when its expression was reduced, the anti-inflammatory and anti-AD effects of WA-25 were blocked. These data suggest that NPM plays dual roles in inflammation and AD. Overall, these results suggest that WA-25 is a potential anti-inflammatory and AD therapeutic agent that is modulated by NPM.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Glioma is one of the most devastating and refractory cancers. The main factors underlying therapeutic failure include extremely invasive characteristics and lack of effective methods for drug delivery. Attenuated <I>Salmonella</I> strains presented a high concentration of tumor targets in various types of cancer models, suggesting a role as potential vectors for drug delivery. In this study, we genetically engineered an attenuated strain of <I>Salmonella</I> as an anti-invasive vector for the targeted delivery and expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP-2) in an orthotopic nude mouse model of glioma. The bioluminescence signals related to tumor size significantly declined in the TIMP-2-expressing <I>Salmonella</I> (SLpTIMP-2)-treated group compared with the control group. Compared with the control group with a survival rate of an average of 33 days, the SLpTIMP-2 group showed an extended survival rate by nearly 60% and lasted an average period of 53 days with TIMP-2 induction. These results indicated the promising therapeutic potential of <I>S. typhimurium</I> for targeted delivery and secretion of TIMP-2 in glioma.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Intracranial injection of <I>Salmonella</I> has been demonstrated to be a more effective than tail vein injection. </LI> <LI> Treatment with TIMP-2-expressing bacteria showed down regulation of MMP-2 in orthotopic glioma. </LI> <LI> TIMP-2-expressing bacteria significantly inhibited tumor growth and elongated animal survive. </LI> </UL> </P>

Dental arch wires with tooth-like color
Chen, Sinn-Wen,Wu, Hsin-Jay,Liu, Chih-Hao,Chien, Yuan-Chun,Hu, Chih-Chang Techno-Press 2012 Advances in materials research Vol.1 No.1
Unique tooth-like (milky white) color ${\beta}$-Ti dental arch wires are prepared by anodization in a 1M $H_2SO_4$ electrolyte at $30^{\circ}C$ and 30 V for 88 min and 40 s. Aggregates are formed on these surfaces of the anodized wires with tooth-like colors, and the results are different from those of the anodized wires with monochromatic colors which have smooth oxide surfaces. Similar to the monochromatic wires, the composition of the oxide layer is $TiO_{2-x}$ and the x approaches zero at the outer layer. But different from the amorphous structure observed in monochromatic wires, the oxide layers are partially crystallized with an anatase structure. The milky white colors result from the rough and crystalized oxide layers, not by the interference effect as observed in monochromatic wires.

Chen Chen,Jie Zhan,Hao Wen,Xiaojing Wei,Lu Ding,Chenyang Tao,Cui Li,Peiming Zhang,Yuyuan Tang,Jing-chun Zeng,Li-ming Lu 한국한의학연구원 2021 Integrative Medicine Research Vol.10 No.-
Background Since the outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), acupuncture has been widely used in the treatment of COVID-19. The research community has responded rapidly and has already published many research articles about this topic. Methods We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library as well as CNKI, Wanfang and VIP from January 1, 2020 to July 31, 2021. The dates of publication, language of publication, methodological characteristics and the key findings were analyzed separately. The data are presented as bar graphs, structured tables and figures. Results In this scoping review, 16 research articles were included: 7 case reports, 6 observational studies, 1 review, 1 RCT and 1 nonrandomized clinical trial. The majority of the articles (81.3%) were published by Chinese scholars, 12.5% articles were by scholars in the United States, and 6.3% articles were by scholars in Iran. The included studies reported that acupuncture could alleviate the symptoms of COVID-19 patients, shorten their hospitalization days, and is effective for the elderly. There were no side effects reported. The most frequent acupoints used were LI4, PC6, ST36 and KI3. They reported many obstacles in implementing acupuncture therapy for treating COVID-19 patients. Conclusion Acupuncture has a good effect for the treatment of COVID-19, but high-quality evidence support is still lacking. Coupled with the difficulties that acupuncturists experienced during the process of treatment, the promotion of acupuncture treatment for COVID-19 faces many obstacles.

Vibration control of rotor system by ultrasonic excited limiter
Hongliang Yao,Qian Zhao,Hao Wu,Bang-chun Wen 대한기계학회 2015 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.29 No.5
We propose a novel method with an ultrasonically excited structure as a vibration limiter to control the vibration of rotor systems. Thefriction between the rotor and the limiter is significantly reduced by ultrasonic lubrication, thereby preventing the occurrence of rubbinginducedthermal bowing, which is commonly observed in traditional vibration limiters. In our study, the friction reduction mechanism ofthe ultrasonically excited vibration limiter was first examined based on tribology theory and Hertz contact theory. The vibration controleffects and the alleviation of thermal bowing were then investigated by numerical simulation. Finally, vibration control experiments wereperformed on a Bentley test rig with the ultrasonically excited vibration limiter. The consistency between theoretical and experimentalresults confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Effect of gelatin nano-coating containing Gardenia pigment on the preservation of pork slices
Yong Liu,Zi-Hao Liu,Chang-Qi Luo,Chun-Tao Xiao,Wen-Yu Zhou,Wen-Jin Xie 한국식품과학회 2022 Food Science and Biotechnology Vol.31 No.4
The nano-coating composed of gelatin and Gardenia pigment (GP) was successfully prepared and showed strong antioxidant activity. The average particle sizes of the nano-coating containing 0.1% and 0.3% GP were 269.58 and 394.13 nm, respectively. The pork slices uncoated and coated with the nano-coating were preserved at 4 C for 15 days. The pork slices’ pH, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), total viable counts (TVC), water-bind- ing capacity (WHC), and thiobarbituric acid reactive sub- stances (TBARS) were measured to assess the preservation effect of the nano-coating. The results showed that the pork coated with the nano-coating had lower pH, TVC, TVB-N, TBARS, and higher WHC, significantly different (p \ 0.05) than the uncoated pork. It is suggested that the proposed nano-coating can be used to effectively improve the pork’s quality and shelf life during refrigeration storage.
