The purpose of this work is to investigate the effect of Er on mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of 6061 alloys. Thetensile strength and corrosion resistance of the 6061 alloys first enhanced and then declined synergistically with the increaseof Er content. Microstructure analysis revealed that the morphology, composition, and potential of secondary phases changedsignificantly as Er content changed. When the Er content is 0.6 wt%, the needle-like β-AlFeSi phases transformed into thegranular AlFeSiEr phases, which led to an increase in the tensile strength of the 6061 alloys. At the same time, compared withthe acicular β-AlFeSi phases, the granular AlFeSiEr phases own a lower potential difference with α-Al, which weakened thecorrosion of the micro-galvanic couples. However, as the Er content is higher than 0.6 wt%, the granular AlFeSiEr phaseschanged to block-shaped, which can adversely affect the tensile strength and corrosion resistance of the 6061 alloys. EISresults show that, compared with the acicular β-AlFeSi phases, the 6061 alloys with granular AlFeSiEr phases form moreuniform oxide films and exhibit better corrosion resistance. This study indicates that through appropriate Er addition, thesynergistic enhancement of tensile strength and corrosion resistance of the 6061 alloys can be obtained, which is of greatsignificance for the strengthening and long-term service of aluminum alloys.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the role of the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) activated Toll–interleukin-1 receptor domain-containing adaptor inducing interferon  (TRIF) signal pathway in triggering apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Materials and Methods First, siRNA targeted autophagy–related gene LC3 (pU6H1-LC3 siRNA and siLC3) and a dsRNA used as a Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) ligand was constructed and synthesized, respectively. Then, a human HCC cell line was transfected with dsRNA, siLC3, and cotransfected with siLC3 and dsRNA (siLC3+dsRNA), respectively. Finally, quantification real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, and immunofluorescence staining were used in the HCC line (SMMC7721), and MTT assay, flow cytometry, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end-labeling, and transmission electron microscopy were used in an HCC xenograft model of nude mice. Human umbilical vein endothelial cell tube forming assay, color Doppler ultrasonographic flow image examination, and CD34-positive microvessel density were used in vitro and in vivo. Results Compared with untreated cells, the protein and mRNA expression of TLR3 and TRIF was up-regulated, in order, siLC3+dsRNA, dsRNA, and siLC3. Expression of LC3 was obviously down-regulated and the autophagosomes were significantly decreased in siLC3+dsRNA and siLC3, whereas in dsRNA (p < 0.05). LC3 and TRIF colocation was observed in HepG2 cells. Decreased cell viability, increased apoptosis, decrease in xenograft tumor volume, and angiogenesis potential were also observed in order (p < 0.05). Conclusion Suppression of intracellular autophagy resulted in decreased degradation of TRIF protein, which can promote triggering of apoptosis by the TLR3-TRIF pathway. dsRNA and siLC3 could play anticancer roles in coordination.

Public diplomacy is an important part of China`s diplomatic necessary strategy.After the founding of new China, China`s public diplomacy had experienced three different stages of development, individually pursuit what is the goal of international recognition, international cooperation, advocating peace and development. Recently years, China`s public diplomacy instantly got through the exploration and practice which was showing a good momentum of development. China`s public diplomacy has changed the traditional purely strategy of the fundamental key for propaganda china,now focus on the more rational and objective illustrating china to the world ,and participating Organizations increasingly. The public diplomacy is rich contents, various forms, and efficiency becomes more obvious. Although has obtained certain achievements by observation the public diplomacy after the found of china, there are some problems and deficiencies. In conception, not enough attention to public diplomacy, insufficient capital and professional talents are not the same time; On the main body, the government role is overweight and political color is strong; On the object,lack of pertinent questions. Therefore, for achieving maximum efficacy in public diplomacy,we should take effective measures to construct the system of public diplomacy with Chinese characteristics. First, to improving the strategic position of public diplomacy and fully integrated public diplomacy resources; Second, to strength their ability for guiding the international public opinion; Third, to strengthening the construction of subject of public diplomacy and conducting multiple actors in public diplomacy; Fourth, to paying attention to the object of studying the public diplomacy and strengthening the pertinence of public diplomacy. This article is divided into three parts. The first part, mainly introduced the development process of public diplomacy in China. The second part, this paper expounds the characteristics and some problems of China`s public diplomacy. The third part is that how to effectively carry out china public diplomacy which put forward some policy suggestions.

이계란(Li, Guilan) 전남대학교 글로벌디아스포라연구소 2010 디아스포라 연구 Vol.4 No.2

중국의 개혁 · 개방정책과 한 · 중수교 이후 조선족 집거지인 연변조선족자치주는 산업화 · 도시화 · 국제화가 가속화되면서 급속하게 발전하고 있다. 이러한 배경 속에서 조선족들은 새로운 삶의 터전을 찾아 외국으로 이주하거나 중국내 발달된 도시로의 진출을 시도하였다. 이로 인해 조선족의 인구 대이동이 시작되었으며, 인구 이동이 점점 증가하고 있다. 이러한 현상은 비가족화된 연변조선족 사회의 별거가족 아동 교육문제를 야기하는 주요 원인이 되었다. 현재 연변조선족 사회에서 아동에 대한 사회적 관심과 배려가 시급하며, 학교 · 가정 · 정부 · 사회 등 다차원적 네트워크를 통해 현실화할 필요성이 있다. As the reform and opening-up and socialist market economy continue to develop, China began to go into rapid social transformation and urbanization process, and significant changes have taken place in the society of Yanbian Korean-Chinese. Many families seek the way to shake off poverty and become prosperous through going abroad or going out for work, and the unprecedented phenomenon of population flowing appears. Growing trend of population flowing and population migration flowing mode of non-family make the number of separated families of the society of Korean-Chinese nationality rise sharply, and such cause the educational problem of left-behind children. The educational problem of left-behind children has become a serious social problem. We need to give more attention and help for left-behind children of Yanbian Korean-Chinese, and construct an integrated supporting network of the school, family and society and so on.

Purpose To investigate the feasibility of biomarkers based on dynamic circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to classify small cell lung cancer (SCLC) into different subtypes. Materials and Methods Tumor and longitudinal plasma ctDNA samples were analyzed by next-generation sequencing of 1,021 genes. PyClone was used to infer the molecular tumor burden index (mTBI). Pre-treatment tumor tissues [T1] and serial plasma samples were collected (pre-treatment [B1], after two [B2], six [B3] cycles of chemotherapy and at progression [B4]). Results Overall concordance between T1 and B1 sequencing (n=30) was 66.5%, and 89.5% in the gene of <i>RB1</i>. A classification method was designed according to the changes of <i>RB1</i> mutation, named as subtype Ⅰ (both positive at B1 and B2), subtype Ⅱ (positive at B1 but negative at B2), and subtype Ⅲ (both negative at B1 and B2). The median progressive-free survival for subtype Ⅰ patients (4.5 months [95%CI: 2.6-5.8]) was inferior to subtype Ⅱ (not reached, p<0.0001) and subtype Ⅲ (10.8 months [95%CI: 6.0-14.4], p=0.002). The median overall survival for subtype Ⅰ patients (16.3 months [95%CI: 5.3-22.9]) was inferior to subtype Ⅱ (not reached, p=0.01) and subtype Ⅲ (not reached, p=0.02). Patients with a mTBI dropped to zero at B2 had longer median overall survival (not reached vs. 19.5 months, p=0.01). The changes of mTBI from B4 to B1 were sensitive to predict new metastases, with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 85.7%. Conclusion Monitoring ctDNA based <i>RB1</i> mutation and mTBI provided a feasible tool to predict the prognosis of SCLC.

Opportunities and Challenges of in vitro Synthetic Biosystem for Terpenoids Production

Yang Liyang,Gong Qiang,Lv Jifang,Zhou Bangyuan,Li Guilan,Guo JianQuan 한국생물공학회 2022 Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering Vol.27 No.5

Terpenoids are a large variety of natural products with remarkable diverse biological functions, and have a wide range of applications in flavors, pharmaceuticals, biofuels, pigments, and so on. However, limited production of terpenoids from natural resources constrains their use of bulk commodity products. In vivo synthetic biosystem, harnessing living organisms to produce terpenoids, has been broadly used and in-depth reviewed for terpenoids production, which has inherent weaknesses, such as slow reaction rate, low product yield, toxic intermediates, and high separation cost. In vitro synthetic biosystem, harboring numerous enzymes and/or coenzymes assembled into an in vitro enzymatic bioreactions, can obviate part of problems associated with in vivo style. In this review, the general design of in vitro synthetic biosystem is presented with seven supporting examples: mevalonate, isoprene, limonene, pinene, farnesene, amorpha-4,11-diene and taxadiene. The efforts for the large-scale implementation of in vitro synthetic biosystem have been addressed to enzymes engineering, computational modeling and cofactors recycle. The review also discusses the challenges and solutions for the largescale implementation of in vitro synthetic biosystem around enzymes stability and cofactors recycle. This review may suggest in vitro synthetic biosystems become a realistic option for the production of diverse valuable terpenoids, even expand to other commodity chemicals.

Benzene, a recognized hematotoxicant and carcinogen,can damage the human immune system. We studied the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in innate immunity and benzene hematotoxicity in a cross-sectional study of workers exposed to benzene (250 workers and 140 controls). A total of 1,236 tag SNPs in 149gene regions of six pathways were included in the analysis. Six gene regions were significant for their association with white blood cell (WBC) counts (MBP,VCAM1, ALOX5, MPO, RAC2, and CRP) based on gene-region (P < 0.05) and SNP analyses (FDR <0.05). VCAM1 rs3176867, ALOX5 rs7099684, and MPO rs2071409 were the three most significant SNPs. They showed similar effects on WBC subtypes, especially granulocytes, lymphocytes, and monocytes. A 3-SNP block in ALOXE3 (rs7215658, rs9892383, and rs3027208) showed a global association (omnibus P =0.0008) with WBCs even though the three SNPs were not significant individually. Our study suggests that polymorphisms in innate immunity genes may play a role in benzene-induced hematotoxicity; however, independent replication is necessary.
