Purpose: Insufficient sensitivity and specificity prevent the use of most existing biomarkers for early detection of breast cancer. Recently, it was reported that serum microRNAs (miRNAs) may be potential biomarkers in many cancer diseases. In this study, we investigated whether serum levels of 5 miRNAs including miR-21, miR-125b, miR-145, miR-155, and miR-365 could discriminate breast cancer patients and healthy controls. Methods: Serum levels of miRNAs were measured by using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in 99 breast cancer patients and 21 healthy controls. The abundance change of serum miRNAs were also evaluated following surgical resection in 20 breast cancer patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to assess the sensitivity and specificity of miRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers. Results: Serum levels of miR-21 and miR-155 was significantly higher, while miR-365 was significantly lower in breast cancer as compared with healthy controls. The serum levels of miR-21 and miR-155 significantly decreased following surgical resection. Additionally, the serum level of miR-155 at stages I and II was significantly higher compared to stage III. The serum miR-145 level was remarkably higher in progesterone receptor (PR)-positive patients than PR-negative. The positivity of miR-21, miR-155, and miR-365 was high compared to CA 153 and CEA in breast cancer. ROC curve analyses of a combination of miR-21, miR-155, and miR-365 yielded much higher area under curve and enhanced sensitivity and specificity in comparison to each miRNA alone. Conclusion: The combination of serum miR-21/miR-155/miR-365 may potentially serve as a sensitive and specific biomarker that enables differentiation of breast cancer from healthy controls.

A recent study summarized several published genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of cancer and reported two pleiotropic loci at 6p21.1 and 7p15.3 contributing to multiple cancers including lung cancer, noncardia gastric cancer (NCGC), and esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Han Chinese. However, it is not known whether such genetic variants have similar effects on the risk of gynecologic cancers, such as ovarian cancer. Hence, we explored associations between genetic variants in 6p21.1 and 7p15.3 and ovarian cancer risk in Han Chinese women. We performed an independent case-control study by genotyping the two loci (rs2494938 A > G at 6p21.1 and rs2285947 A > G at 7p15.3) in a total of 377 ovarian cancer cases and 1,034 cancer-free controls using TaqMan allelic discrimination assay. We found that rs2285947 at 7p15.3 was significantly associated with risk of ovarian cancer with per allele odds ratio (OR) of 1.33 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.08-1.64, P=0.008]. However, no significant association was observed between rs2494938 and ovarian cancer risk. Our results showed that rs2285947 at 7p15.3 may also contribute to the development of ovarian cancer in Han Chinese women, further suggesting pleiotropy of 7p15.3 in multiple cancers.

Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) is currently a widely applied structural and functional material. To prepare highperformance YAG ceramics we prepared pure YAG powder, after calcining the precursor at 1100 ºC, by co-precipitation with ammonia as the precipitant and aluminum nitrate as well as yttrium nitrate as raw materials. The preparation conditions for the YAG precursor were a pH of 9, a titration rate of 10 ml/ minute and a reaction time of 60 minutes. The mean paricle size of the YAG powder was 11ìm. The mean particle size for the YAG powder increased with an increase in the pH and at a higher pH the YAG particles were more irregular in shape. The mean particle size and particle size distribution range of the YAG powder increased with an increase in the titration rate. For the YAG powder with a higher mean particle size, the particle size distribution range was wider but the size of most YAG particles was still small and the YAG particles were nearly spherical.

Zirconium diboride is widely applied because of some excellent properties. The effect of the oxidation temperature on the surface microdomain of ZrB2-YAG multi-phase ceramics was studied, it helps to improve the performance of ultra-hightemperature ceramics. The results show the oxidation layer thickness is increased with an increase in the oxidation temperature, the oxidation layer thickness is decreased by increasing the density of multi-phase ceramics at the same oxidation temperature. The ceramic surface shows the (m)ZrO2, YAG, B2O3 and ZrB2 phases below the the oxidation temperature at 1300 ο C, but the ceramic surface do not show the ZrB2 phase above the oxidation temperature at 1300 ο C that is to say, the ZrB2 phase of the ceramic suface is entirely oxidized. The oxidation layer thickness is increased with an increase in the oxidation time, however, the ratio of increasing thickness is less and less. The oxidation layer shows a loose structure during the initial stage of the oxidation, which lacks a barriers for the diffusion of the oxygen.

ZrB2 and YAG are widely applied because of some excellent properties, but ZrB2 is easily oxidized in high-temperature air. To make ZrB2 ceramics have a better oxidation resistance, high-density ZrB2-YAG-Al2O3 ceramics were prepared. The effect of a reinforcement phase on the oxidation mechanism of ZrB2-YAG-Al2O3 ceramics is investigated at different high temperature ranges. The results show that the overall tendency of the weight gain of ZrB2-YAG ceramics and ZrB2 ceramics are similar, but the weight gain of ZrB2-YAG ceramics is less than that of ZrB2 ceramics. The weight gain tendency of three types of ceramics are similar below 1000, the weight gain of ZrB2-YAG and ZrB2-YAG-Al2O3 ceramics have a mild tendency between 1000 and 1300, the weight gain tendency of ZrB2-YAG ceramics and ZrB2 ceramics are similar at 1300, however, the weight gain tendency of ZrB2-YAG-Al2O3 ceramics became mild at 1300 due to the Al18B4O33 coating on the ceramic surface. The weight gain rapidly increased for 1h, then the weight gain tendency became mild after 1 h. The weight gain tendency of ZrB2-YAG-Al2O3 ceramics is similar by contrast with ZrB2-YAG ceramics and ZrB2 ceramics for 1 h, the weight gain tendency of ZrB2-YAG-Al2O3 ceramics is extremely mild at a higher oxidation temperature after 1 h.

River sands as low grade natural raw materials are used to prepare the fired brick to replace clay fired bricks, which aims to save land resources and use low grade natural resources to realize high cost performance. In this paper, the effect of sintering technology of bricks on their performance is discussed. The compressive strength of fired bricks is first increased and then decreased with an increase in the sintering temperature, the compressive strength of bricks prepared by the isostatic compaction shaping is higher than that of bricks prepared by the plastic shaping under the same conditions. The compressive strength of bricks reaches 28 MPa when sintered at 1150 oC by using a 20MPa isostatic compaction shaping method. The compressive strength of bricks is first increased and then decreased by prolonging the holding time, the compressive strength of bricks reaches 28.9MPa when sintered at 1150 oC for 2 h.

Three rare and new 11,20-epoxy-ent-kaurane diterpenoids, named jianshirubesins D-F (1-3), along with one known analogue (4), were isolated from the aerial parts of Isodon rubescens. Their structures were established by analysis of spectroscopic data. Found in the MTT assay to evaluate the cytotoxicity of compounds 1, 2, and 4, only 1 could selectively inhibit certain cell lines from proliferating. In addition, a simple structure-activity relationship discussion might suggest a new bioactive moiety, different from the α,β-unsaturated ketone group.

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the first-line treatment for unresectable intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is of high clinical significance to explore the synergistic effect of TACE with antiangiogenic inhibitors and the molecular mechanisms involved. This study determined that glucose, but not other analyzed nutrients, offered significant protection against cell death induced by sorafenib, as indicated by glucose deprivation sensitizing cells to sorafenib-induced cell death. Next, this synergistic effect was found to be specific to sorafenib, not to lenvatinib or the chemotherapeutic drugs cisplatin and doxorubicin. Mechanistically, sorafenib-induced mitophagy, as indicated by PINK1 accumulation, increased the phospho-poly-ubiquitination modification, accelerated mitochondrial membrane protein and mitochondrial DNA degradation, and increased the amount of mitochondrion-localized mKeima-Red engulfed by lysosomes. Among several E3 ubiquitin ligases tested, SIAH1 was found to be essential for inducing mitophagy; that is, SIAH1 silencing markedly repressed mitophagy and sensitized cells to sorafenib-induced death. Notably, the combined treatment of glucose restriction and sorafenib abolished ATP generation and mitophagy, which led to a high cell death rate. Oligomycin and antimycin, inhibitors of electron transport chain complexes, mimicked the synergistic effect of sorafenib with glucose restriction to promote cell death mediated via mitophagy inhibition. Finally, inhibition of the glucose transporter by canagliflozin (a clinically available drug used for type-II diabetes) effectively synergized with sorafenib to induce HCC cell death in vitro and to inhibit xenograft tumor growth in vivo. This study demonstrates that simultaneous treatment with sorafenib and glucose restriction is an effective approach to treat HCC, suggesting a promising combination strategy such as transarterial sorafenib-embolization (TASE) for the treatment of unresectable HCC.
