Xiaodan Li,Zhongfu Li,Guangdong Wu 대한토목학회 2018 KSCE JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Vol.22 No.7
To enhance the level of precast production management, and to reduce the costs of precast production, a lean precast productionsystem is developed based on the constant work-in-process (CONWIP) method. Then the performance of this system is verifiedusing the Discrete Event Simulation (DES). A quantitative performance evaluation between the lean precast production system andthe current precast production process is provided using the JaamSim simulation platform. Cases and site visits to precast concreteplant in China are combined to collect the production procedures and initial parameters involved in precast production. Throughsimulations, Non-value Adding (NVA) activities, as well as bottleneck workstations, are identified in precast production. The optimalnumber of cards to be used in the lean precast production system is also presented. Our simulation experiments show that the leanprecast production system provides an effective way to control queue length and shorten the WIP and cycle time, while alsomaintaining throughput and saving 25.4% of labour cost.

In this paper, the autolysis process of Saccharomyces cerevisiae FX-2 (S. cerevisiae FX-2) via, a variety of endogenous enzyme, was investigated systematically by analyzing changes in physicochemical parameters in autolysate, surface morphology and the internal structure of the yeast cells. As an explicit conclusion, the arisen autolysis depended on the pH and the optimal pH was found to be 5.5. Based on the experimental data and the characteristics of mycelia morphology, a hypothesis is put forward that simple proteins in yeast vacuolar are firstly degraded for utilization, and then more membrane-bound proteins are hydrolyzed to release hydrolytic enzymes, which arouse an enzymatic reaction to induce the collapse of the cell wall into the cytoplasm.

Xiaodan Wei,Yuhua Fan,Caifeng Bi,Xingchen Yan,Xia Zhang,Xin Li 대한화학회 2014 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.35 No.12
A novel crystal, the mono-protonated metformin acetate (1), was obtained and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. It was found that one of the imino group in the metformin cation was protonated along with the proton transfer from the secondary amino group to the other imino group. Its crystal structure was then compared with the previously reported diprotonated metformin oxalate (2). The difference between them is that the mono-protonated metformin cations can be linked by hydrogen bonding to form dimers while the diprotonated metformin cations cannot. Both of them are stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds to assemble a 3-D supermolecular structure. The four potential tautomer of the monoprotonated metformin cation (tautomers 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d) were optimized and their single point energies were calculated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) B3LYP method based on the Polarized Continuum Model (PCM) in water, which shows that the most likely existed tautomer in human cells is the same in the crystal structure. Based on the optimized structure, their Wiberg bond orders, Natural Population Analysis (NPA) atomic charges, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) maps were calculated to analyze their electronic structures, which were then compared with the corresponding values of the diprotonated metformin cation (cation 2) and the neutral metformin (compound 3). Finally, the possible tautomeric mechanism of the monoprotonated metformin cation was discussed based on the observed phenomena.

Purpose NUF2 has been implicated in multiple cancers recently, suggesting NUF2 may play a role in the common tumorigenesis process. In this study, we aim to perform comprehensive meta-analysis of NUF2 expression in the cancer types included in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Materials and Methods RNA-sequencing data in 31 cancer types in the TCGA data and 11 independent datasets were used to examine NUF2 expression. Silencing NUF2 using targeting shRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines was used to evaluate NUF2’s role in HCC in vitro and in vivo. Results NUF2 up-regulation is significantly observed in 23 out of the 31 cancer types in the TCGA datasets and validated in 13 major cancer types using 11 independent datasets. NUF2 overexpression was clinically important as high NUF2 was significantly associated with tumor stages in eight different cancers. High NUF2 was also associated with significantly poorer patient overall survival and disease-free survival in eight and six cancers, respectively. We proceeded to validate NUF2 overexpression and its negative association with overall survival at the protein level in an independent cohort of 40 HCC patients. Compared to the non-targeting controls, NUF2 knockdown cells showed significantly reduced ability to grow, migrate into a scratch wound and invade the 8 μm porous membrane in vitro. Moreover, NUF2 knockdown cells also formed significantly smaller tumors than control cells in mouse xenograft assays in vivo. Conclusion NUF2 up-regulation is a common feature of many cancers. The prognostic potential and functional impact of NUF2 up-regulation warrant further studies.

Sweroside is a natural monoterpene derived from Swertia pseudochinensis Hara. Recently, studies have shown that sweroside exhibits a variety of biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hypoglycemic effects. However, its role and mechanisms in high glucose (HG)-induced renal injury remain unclear. Herein, we established a renal injury model in vitro by inducing human renal tubular epithelial cell (HK-2 cells) injury by HG. Then, the effects of sweroside on HK-2 cell activity, inflammation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) were observed. As a result, sweroside treatment ameliorated the viability, inhibited the secretion of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and VCAM-1), reduced the generation of ROS, and inhibited EMT in HK-2 cells. Moreover, the protein expression of SIRT1 was increased and the acetylation of p65 NFkB was decreased in HK-2 cells with sweroside treatment. More importantly, EX527, an inhibitor of SIRT1, that inactivated SIRT1, abolished the improvement effects of sweroside on HK-2 cells. Our findings suggested that sweroside may mitigate HGcaused injury in HK-2 cells by promoting SIRT1-mediated deacetylation of p65 NF-kB.

Cholesteatoma is a pathologically benign but clinically destructive middle ear disease characterized by hyperproliferative keratinocytes. B-cell-specific Moloney murine leukemia virus insertion site 1 (BMI1) has been reported to be upregulated in cholesteatoma tissues. This study aimed to explore the biological role and underlying mechanisms of BMI1 in the progression of cholesteatoma. The expression levels of microRNA (miR)-1297, miR-26a- 5p, and BMI1 in cholesteatoma tissues and cells were examined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) or western blot. Functional experiments were performed by CCK-8 assay for cell proliferation viability, 5-ethynyl-2'deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation assay for DNA biosynthesis, colony formation assay for cloning forming ability analysis, transwell assay and wound healing assay for cell metastasis, flow cytometry for cell cycle distribution and cell apoptosis. The protein expression of apoptosis-associated proteins was investigated by western blot. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was conducted to verify the interaction between miR-1297 or miR-26a-5p and BMI1. BMI1 was highly expressed in cholesteatoma tumor tissues. Functional analyses showed that BMI1 knockdown could inhibit the proliferation, colony formation, migration, invasion, cell cycle progression and promoted the apoptosis of keratinocytes. Mechanically, BMI1 was a target of miR-1297 and miR-26a-5p. Moreover, the rescue experiments presented that BMI1 addition could abolish the suppressive effects of miR-1297 or miR-26a-5p overexpression on cell malignant behaviors in keratinocytes. BMI1 could exert an oncogenic role in the malignant development of cholesteatoma through serving as the targets of miR-1297 and miR-26a-5p, which might provide novel strategies for cholesteatoma treatment.
