Aflatoxm B₁(AFB₁) is a potent hepatocarcinogen in experimental animals and a hazard to human health in several parts of the world. AFB₁ is activated to its ultimate carcinogenic intermediate, AFB₁-8,9-epoxide, by cytochrome P450(CYP) 1A2 and CYP3A4 in human liver and the intermediate is decomposed by several glutathione S-transferase(GST) including GSTA2, GSTM1 and GSTP1. In this study, we investigated the effects of phloretin on the enzyme systems which are involved in the activation and detoxification of AFB₁. The metabolic intermediate of AFB₁ was measured with HPLC. We found that phloretin could strongly inhibit the activities of CYP 3A4 and CYP1A2 in a dose dependent manner. Phloretin induced the antioxidant-response element(ARE)-mediated gene expression, including GSTs. The expressions of GSTA2, T1, M1, and GSTP1 were induced by 10μM phloretin. The decomposition of AFB₁-8,9-epoxide was measured with GSH conjugating activity of the epoxide. The rate was increased to 1.5 fold when HepG2 cells were treated by 10μM phloretin for 12h. In the mean while, the total GST activitives toward CDNB in HepG2 cells were not changed by the treatment with phloretin. The results demonstrate that phloretin has strong chemopreventive effects against AFB₁ toxicity through the inhibition of AFB₁ activation and induction of GSTs.

Background: Central lymph node metastasis(CLNM) is common in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). The aim of this study was to define the pathohistologic risk grading based on surgical outcomes. Materials and Methods: Statistical analysis was performed to figure out the optimal cut-off values of size in preoperative ultrasound images for defining the risk of CLNM in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma. Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) studies were carried out to determine the cutoff value(s) for the predictor(s). All the patients were divided into two groups according to the above size and the clinic-pathological and immunohistochemical parameters were compared to determine the significance of findings. Results: The optimal cut-off value of tumor size to predict the risk of CLNM in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma was 0.575 cm (area under the curve 0.721) according to the ROC curves. Significant differences were observed on the multifocality, extrathyroidal extension and central lymph node metastasis between two groups which were divided according to the tumor size by the cutoff values. Patients in two groups showed different positive rate and intensity of Ki67. Conclusions: The size of PTMC in ultrasound images are helpful to predict the aggressiveness of the tumors, it could be an easy predictor for PTMC prognosis and assist us to choose treatment.

Li, Yi-Min,Lin, Qin,Zhao, Long,Wang, Li-Chen,Sun, Long,Dai, Ming-Ming,Luo, Zuo-Ming,Zheng, Hua,Wu, Hua Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2014 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.15 No.3

Objectives: To study application of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) with $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT for predicting prognosis of esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESC) patients. Methods: Eighty-six patients with ESC staged from I to IV were prospectively enrolled. Cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) or palliative chemoradiotherapy were the main treatment methods and none received surgery. $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT scans were performed before the treatment. SUVmax, MTV, and TLG were measured for the primary esophageal lesion and regional lymph nodes. Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROCs) were generated to calculate the P value of the predictive ability and the optimal threshold. Results: MTV and TLG proved to be good indexes in the prediction of outcome for the ESC patients. An MTV value of 15.6 ml and a TLG value of 183.5 were optimal threshold to predict the overall survival (OS). The areas under the curve (AUC) for MTV and TLG were 0.74 and 0.70, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed an MTV less than 15.6 ml and a TLG less than 183.5 to indicate good media survival time (p value <0.05). In the stage III-IV patient group, MTV could better predict the OS (P < 0.001), with a sensitivity and specificity of 0.80 and 0.67, respectively. Conclusions: Pre-treatment MTV and TLG are useful prognostic factors in nonsurgical ESC.

Ming Zhao,Chen-Bo Xie,Zhiqing Zhong,Bang-Xin Wang,Zhenzhu Wang,Pang-Da Dai,Zhen Shang,Min Tan,Dong Liu,Yingjian Wang 한국광학회 2015 Current Optics and Photonics Vol.19 No.6

A high spectral resolution lidar (HSRL) system based on injection-seeded Nd:YAG laser and iodineabsorption filter has been developed for the quantitative measurement of aerosol and cloud. The laserfrequency is stabilized at 80 MHz by a frequency locking system and the absorption line of iodine cellis selected at the 1111 line with 2 GHz width. The observations show that the HSRL can provide verticalprofiles of particle extinction coefficient, backscattering coefficient and lidar ratio for cloud and aerosolup to 12 km altitude, simultaneously. For the measured cases, the lidar ratios are 10~20 sr for cloud,28~37 sr for dust, and 58~70 sr for urban pollution aerosol. It reveals the potential of HSRL to distinguishthe type of aerosol and cloud. Time series measurements are given and demonstrate that the HSRL hasability to continuously observe the aerosol and cloud for day and night

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of adult height in East Asians identifies 17 novel loci

He, Meian,Xu, Min,Zhang, Ben,Liang, Jun,Chen, Peng,Lee, Jong-Young,Johnson, Todd A.,Li, Huaixing,Yang, Xiaobo,Dai, Juncheng,Liang, Liming,Gui, Lixuan,Qi, Qibin,Huang, Jinyan,Li, Yanping,Adair, Linda S IRL Press 2015 Human molecular genetics Vol.24 No.6

<P>Human height is associated with risk of multiple diseases and is profoundly determined by an individual's genetic makeup and shows a high degree of ethnic heterogeneity. Large-scale genome-wide association (GWA) analyses of adult height in Europeans have identified nearly 180 genetic loci. A recent study showed high replicability of results from Europeans-based GWA studies in Asians; however, population-specific loci may exist due to distinct linkage disequilibrium patterns. We carried out a GWA meta-analysis in 93 926 individuals from East Asia. We identified 98 loci, including 17 novel and 81 previously reported loci, associated with height at <I>P</I> < 5 × 10<SUP>−8</SUP>, together explaining 8.89% of phenotypic variance. Among the newly identified variants, 10 are commonly distributed (minor allele frequency, MAF > 5%) in Europeans, with comparable frequencies with in Asians, and 7 single-nucleotide polymorphisms are with low frequency (MAF < 5%) in Europeans. In addition, our data suggest that novel biological pathway such as the protein tyrosine phosphatase family is involved in regulation of height. The findings from this study considerably expand our knowledge of the genetic architecture of human height in Asians.</P>

Liang, Weizheng,Gao, Min,Lu, Chang,Zhang, Zhi,Chan, Cheuk Ho,Zhuge, Lanjian,Dai, Jiyan,Yang, Hao,Chen, Chonglin,Park, Bae Ho,Jia, Quanxi,Lin, Yuan American Chemical Society 2018 ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES Vol.10 No.9

<P>Vanadium dioxide (VO<SUB>2</SUB>) is a strong-correlated metal-oxide with a sharp metal-insulator transition (MIT) for a range of applications. However, synthesizing epitaxial VO<SUB>2</SUB> films with desired properties has been a challenge because of the difficulty in controlling the oxygen stoichiometry of VO<SUB><I>x</I></SUB>, where <I>x</I> can be in the range of 1 < <I>x</I> < 2.5 and V has multiple valence states. Herein, a unique moisture-assisted chemical solution approach has been developed to successfully manipulate the oxygen stoichiometry, to significantly broaden the growth window, and to significantly enhance the MIT performance of VO<SUB>2</SUB> films. The obvious broadening of the growth window of stoichiometric VO<SUB>2</SUB> thin films, from 4 to 36 °C, is ascribed to a self-adjusted process for oxygen partial pressure at different temperatures by introducing moisture. A resistance change as large as 4 orders of magnitude has been achieved in VO<SUB>2</SUB> thin films with a sharp transition width of less than 1 °C. The much enhanced MIT properties can be attributed to the higher and more uniform oxygen stoichiometry. This technique is not only scientifically interesting but also technologically important for fabricating wafer-scaled VO<SUB>2</SUB> films with uniform properties for practical device applications.</P> [FIG OMISSION]</BR>

ObjectiveaaEvidence of the brain network involved in cognitive dysfunction has been inconsistent for major depressive disorder (MDD), especially during early stage of MDD. This study seeks to examine abnormal cognition connectivity network (CCN) in MDD within the whole brain. MethodsaaSixteen patients with MDD and 16 health controls were scanned during resting-state using 3.0 T functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). All patients were first episode without any history of antidepressant treatment. Both the left and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) were used as individual seeds to identify CCN by the seed-target correlation analysis. Two sample t test was used to calculate between-group differences in CCN using fisher z-transformed correlation maps. ResultsaaThe CCN was constructed by bilateral seed DLPFC in two groups separately. Depressed subjects exhibited significantly increased functional connectivity (FC) by left DLPFC in one cluster, overlapping middle frontal gyrus, BA7, BA43, precuneus, BA6, BA40, superior temporal gyrus, BA22, inferior parietal lobule, precentral gyrus, BA4 and cingulate gyrus in left cerebrum. Health controls did not show any cluster with significantly greater FC compared to depressed subjects in left DLPFC network. There was no significant difference of FC in right DLPFC network between depressed subjects and the health controls. ConclusionaaThere are differences in CCN during early stage of MDD, as identified by increased FCs among part of frontal gyrus, parietal cortex, cingulate cortex, and BA43, BA22, BA4 with left DLPFC. These brain areas might be involved in the underlying mechanisms of cognitive dysfunction in MDD.

Slide Session : OS-GAS-18 ; Gastroenterology : Bahd1: A Gatekeeper to Protect Us from Inflamma-tion-Associated Colon Disease?

Background: It was recently reported that epigenetics might play an essential role in IBD. Bromo adjacent homology domain 1 (BAHD1), which involved in category of epigenetics maintains homeostasis by promoting heterochromatin formation. Our study aimed to investigate the underlying mechanism of BAHD1 in gut inflammation including IBD, seeking a new therapeutic target for the inflammation-associated colon disease. Methods: Experimental colitis was induced in C57BL/6 mice by dextran sulfate sodium administration. To simulate the intestinal inflammation microenvironment for epithelial cells, Caco-2 cells were exposed to a mixture of LPS, TNF-a, IL-1ß, and IFN-. BAHD1 expression was detected by quantitative PCR(qPCR), western blot and immunohistochemistry in both UC patients and mice model. Small interfering RNA was used to knock down BAHD1 level(siBAHD1) in Caco-2 cells and associated cytokines(CKs) expression were detected by either qPCR or ELISA. Possible mechanism involving in- flammatory pathways activation were addressed by western blot. Results: Murine model of UC-like inflammation was successfully established. And we found that BAHD1 existed in the normal internal crypt and surface epithelial cells ubiquitously. Compared with control group, BAHD1 expression in colon tissue were significantly decreased in both UC patients and mice model. In the vitro model system, we found that the protein level of BAHD1 was decreased in the stimulated Caco-2 cells. In addition, consistent with mRNA level of associated CKs enhanced in the siBAHD1 group within stimulatory factors, the interference group secreted more IL-6 and MCP-1 contents in the culture supernatant. As for potential mechanisms of BAHD1 in colitis, increased expression of TNFR1 was found in Caco-2 cells pre-treated with siBAHD1 in gut inflammation model, accompanying with the activation of IKK/ NF-κB and JNK/AP-1 pathways. Conclusions: Collectively, those findings provide evidence that BAHD1 might act as an indispensable safeguard to keep intestine immunological homeostasis.
