Jiahong Chen,Hang Zhang,Stanley Aniagu,Yan Jiang,Tao Chen,Y. Jiang,T. Chen 대한독성 유전단백체 학회 2017 Molecular & cellular toxicology Vol.13 No.1
Trichloroethylene (TCE) had been shown to induce aberrant DNA methylation changes in mouse liver, which could be critical in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. To understand the effect of methionine, a methyl donor, on TCE-induced mouse liver cancer, we exposed B6C3F1 mice to TCE in the presence or absence of methionine. We found that supplementation with methionine attenuated the TCE-induced hypo- and hyper-methylation status of Cdkn1a and Ihh in mouse liver, respectively. The TCE-induced mRNA expression changes of Cdkn1a, Ihh and Jun were also alleviated by methionine. However, methionine supplementation accelerated the TCE-induced mRNA over-expression of Mki67, and enhanced the TCE-induced mRNA down-regulation of Dnmt3a and Tet2. In summary, our results showed that methionine could attenuate at least part of the TCE-induced DNA methylation changes, but the additional gene expression changes induced by supplementary of methionine does not support the assumption that methionine could prevent TCE-induced liver carcinogenesis.

Background/Aims The role of psychosocial factors on irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in adolescents is incompletely understood. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between the psychosocial factors and the risk of developing IBS in college freshmen. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in a randomly selected freshmen population in Wuhan China (n = 2449). Questionnaire evaluated demographics and psychosocial risks. The population was divided into 3 groups: non-discomfort, chronic abdominal discomfort and IBS. The association between the development of IBS and psychosocial factors was analyzed by ordinal and multiple logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 2053 (83.8%) completed this survey (mean age, 18.2 ± 0.9 years; female, 35.6%). Among them, 82 (4.0%) fulfilled the Rome III criteria for IBS. Female (odds ratio [OR], 3.31; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.47–4.45), experience of abuse (OR, 2.44; 95% CI, 1.10–5.56), and suicidal intention (OR, 2.17; 95% CI, 1.15–4.17) were more likely to have IBS. Compared with chronic abdominal discomfort, however, depression (OR, 5.55; 95% CI, 1.36–22.71) was the only dependent risk factor for IBS. Conclusion The prevalence of IBS in college freshmen is 4.0%, and to the freshmen, psychosocial factors such as experience of abuse, depression, and suicidal intention were associated with high risk of developing IBS.

Energy and time savings are highly important aspects of green manufacturing. Ultrasonic vibration-assisted grinding (UVAG) is a high-efficiency, low-energy-consumption processing method for optical components made from hard and brittle materials. This work presents an experimental investigation of the specific grinding energy and the subsurface damage depth in UVAG of optical glasses to estimate the increased energy and time savings produced when using UVAG in optical glass manufacturing. The normal and tangential grinding forces of traditional grinding (TG) and axial UVAG processes on optical glasses were investigated for various machining parameters. The specific grinding energies during the TG and UVAG of the optical glasses were calculated and analyzed from the perspective of the energy consumption of the grinding process. The subsurface damage depths in optical glass during TG and UVAG were measured as an estimate of the machining quality, and the magnetorheological polishing spot method was used to analyze the time saved in subsequent polishing processes. The results show that UVAG can reduce energy consumption during the grinding of glass and produce significant time savings in subsequent polishing processes. The UVAG process therefore shows good potential for use in green manufacturing of optical components.

Members of the genus Vibrio are ubiquitous in aquatic environments and can be found either in a culturable or a viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state. Despite widespread concerns as to how to define the occurrence and dynamics of Vibrio populations by culture-independent approaches, further physiological research and relevant biotechnological developments will require the isolation and cultivation of the microbes from various environments. The present work provides data and perspectives on our understanding of culturable Vibrio community structure and diversity in the Beibu Gulf. Finally, we isolated 1,037 strains of Vibrio from 45 samples and identified 18 different species. Vibrio alginolyticus, V. cyclitrophicus, V. tasmaniensis, V. brasiliensis, and V. splendidus were the dominant species that had regional distribution characteristics. The correlation between the quantitative distribution and community structure of culturable Vibrio and environmental factors varied with the Vibrio species and geographical locations. Among them, salinity, nitrogen, and phosphorus were the main factors affecting the diversity of culturable Vibrio. These results help to fill a knowledge gap on Vibrio diversity and provide data for predicting and controlling pathogenic Vibrio outbreaks in the Beibu Gulf.

Background: Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase(AMACR) is thought to play key roles in diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer. However, studies of associations between AMACR gene polymorphisms and prostate cancer risk reported inconsistent results. Therefore, we conducted the present meta-analysis to clarify the link between AMACR gene polymorphisms and prostate cancer risk. Materials and Methods: A literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang and Weipu databases. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) were calculated to assess the strength of any association between AMACR polymorphisms and prostate cancer risk. Subgroup analyses by ethnicity, source of controls, quality control and sample size were also conducted. Results: Five studies covering 3,313 cases and 3,676 controls on five polymorphisms (D175G, M9V, S201L, K277E and Q239H) were included in this meta-analysis. Significant associations were detected between prostate cancer and D175G (dominant model: OR=0.89, 95%CI=0.80-0.99, P=0.04) and M9V (dominant model: OR=0.87, 95%CI=0.78-0.97, P=0.01) polymorphisms as well as that in subgroup analyses. We also observed significant decreased prostate cancer risk in the dominant model (OR=0.90, 95%CI=0.81-0.99, P=0.04) for the S201L polymorphism. However, K277E and Q239H polymorphisms did not appear to be related to prostate cancer risk. Conclusions: The current meta-analysis indicated that D175G and M9V polymorphisms of the AMACR gene are related to prostate cancer. The S201L polymorphism might also be linked with prostate cancer risk to some extent. However, no association was observed between K277E or Q239H polymorphisms and susceptibility to prostate cancer.
A Novel Preserving Client Privacy and Designate Verifier Auditing Scheme for Cloud Storage
Jiang Xu,Wenliang Chen,Sai Ji,Yongjun Ren,Jin Wang 보안공학연구지원센터 2015 International Journal of Security and Its Applicat Vol.9 No.1
Cloud storage is now an important development trend in information technology. To ensure the integrity of data storage in cloud storing, researchers have present some proof of storage schemes. In some cases, the ability to check data possession is delegated by data owners. Hence, the delegable provable data possession and proxy provable data possession are proposed. However the schemes are not secure since the proxy or designated verifier stores some delegation information in cloud storage servers. In this paper, we propose PC-DV POS scheme, which can preserve clients’ privacy and designate a verifier by the client signed the data blocks. In particular, we utilize group signatures and key exchange to construct homomorphic authenticators, so that only the designated verifier is able to check the integrity of shared data for users without retrieving the entire data, and cannot reveal the identities of signers on all blocks in shared data.

Nisin and citric acid are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for using as a food ingredient and often used to control the microbial contamination of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. However, their effects on phenolics and antioxidants remain unclear. Here we used 50 μg·mL-1 nisin combination with 1% (w/v) citric acid (N+C) to wash fresh-cut onions and the phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacity, microbial load, slice color were evaluated during the storage period. N+C treatment decreased the total polyphenols (TP) and quercetin contents (p < 0.05), as compared to the control at day 0, but did not affect phenolic acids and antioxidant capacity (ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP assays). During storage, antioxidant capacity, TP, and flavonoid contents increased. Storage had mixed effects on the phenolic acids (caffeic acid, vanillic acid, and ferulic acid increased, chlorogenic acid remained fairly stable). N+C treatment reduced the microbial counts and total viable counts (TVC) of fresh-cut onions below the detection limit until 5 days of storage. After 15 days storage, TVC of N+C treated samples remained significantly (p < 0.05) lower than controls. In addition, N+C treatment led to better color retention during storage. Therefore, N+C might be used as a safe preservative for fresh-cut onions.

<P>Rational bottorritup construction of two-dimensional (2D) covalent or nonCovalent organic materials with precise structural control at the: atomic or molecular level remains a challenge. The design and synthesis of metal organic frameworks (MOFS) based on new building blocks is of great significance in achieving new types of 2D monolayer MOF films. Here, we demonstrate that a complexation between copper(II) ions and tri(beta-diketone) ligands yields a novel 2D MOF siyucture, either-inthe form of a powder.or.as a monolayer filth. It has been Characterized by Fourier transform infrared, Raman, ultraviolet-visible, X-ray photoelectron, and electron paramagnetic-resonance spectroscopies. Selected area electron diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction results show that the MOF is Crystalline and has a hexagonal structure. A MOF-based membrane has been prepared by vacuum filtration of an aqueous dispersion of the MOF powder onto a porous Anodisc filter having pore-size 0.02 mu m. The porous MOF membrane filters gold nanOparticies with a cutoff of similar to 2.4 nm.</P>
