It has been reported that the addition of graphene oxide (GO) can increase the dispersion and heterogeneousnucleation of layered double hydroxide (LDH), thus providing more active sites, which is more conduciveto CO2 adsorption. Herein, we reported alkali metal nitrates ((Li0.3Na0.18K0.52)NO3) promoted LDHand GO composites (LDH/GO) as adsorbents for CO2 capture. The influence of mass ratio of LDH to GO, theimpregnation ratio of alkali metal nitrates, the calcination and adsorption temperature, as well as thecycling stability were investigated systematically. The results indicated that the CO2 capture capacityof LDH/GO composite with 30 mol% (Li0.3Na0.18K0.52)NO3 could reach 4.51 mmol g 1, which was 5.86times higher than LDH/GO1 without loading alkali metal nitrates. Moreover, it had outstanding CO2adsorption capacity in the range from 200 C to 320 C. In addition, the cyclic adsorption and desorptiontest manifested that the CO2 uptake of the material can reach 3.07 mmol g 1 after 22 cycles. We believethat this study will give a significant contribution to fabrication of LDH based composites as CO2 adsorbentsin future study.

Background Androgen-independent prostate cancer (AIPC) is an extremely malignant tumor developed from the androgen dependent (ADPC). However, the mechanism of transition process from ADPC to AIPC remains unknown. Objective Here we aimed to identify the androgen receptor (AR) target gene and its roles in AIPC. Methods Target genes of AR were identified by ChIP-seq in AIPC cells. AR target gene PCDH7 was detected by real time PCR and western blot. Methylation of PCDH7 was measured by bisulfite sequencing and bisulfite amplicon sequencing. Cell growth, invasion and apoptosis were measured by CCK-8, transwell and flow cytometry, respectively. Results AR was significantly enriched in the upstream of PCDH7 gene. The expression of PCDH7 was significantly decreased, while the methylation of PCDH7 was increased in the AIPC cells compared to the ADPC cells. DNA methyltransferase inhibitor significantly suppressed the methylation and increased the mRNA and protein level of PCDH7. Moreover, overexpression of DNMT1 remarkably reduced the mRNA and protein level of PCDH7. DNA methyltransferase inhibitor decreased the cell growth and invasion while promote the cell apoptosis in the AIPC cells. AR significantly target PCDH7, whose hypermethylation may repress cell growth and invasion, and promote apoptosis in AIPC. Conclusions This study might provide a novel potential target for the treatment of AIPC.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>A series of photocrosslinkable multi-block poly(arylene ether sulfone) copolymers containing various block lengths of hydrophilic segments were synthesized. For comparison, a series of random poly(arylene ether) copolymers were also synthesized. The anion exchange membranes(AEMs) were fabricated and in-situ photocrosslinking was carried out by UV irradiation in a swollen state. The microphase-separated morphologies of the multi-block membranes were characterized by SAXS and TEM experiments, and the membrane properties were investigated by measuring ion exchange capacity (IEC), water uptake, water swelling ratio, ionic conductivity, methanol permeability and alkaline stability. IECs and water uptakes of the crosslinked multi-block membranes were in the range of 1.11–1.42 meq g<SUP>−1</SUP> and 14.36–31.01% at 20 °C, respectively. The hydroxide conductivity was in the range of 11.38–25.00 mS cm<SUP>−1</SUP> at 20 °C, and showed a maximum value of 178.77 mS cm<SUP>−1</SUP> at 100 °C. The multi-block membranes exhibited low methanol permeability (2.75 × 10<SUP>−7</SUP> cm<SUP>2</SUP> s<SUP>−1</SUP>) at room temperature, which is one order of magnitude lower than that of Nafion® 117 (23.8 × 10<SUP>−7</SUP> cm<SUP>2</SUP> s<SUP>−1</SUP>). The crosslinked membranes showed excellent dimensional stability and alkaline stability with only a slight decrease in ionic conductivity.

Qin, Li-Li,Wang, Qin-Rong,Wang, Qian,Yao, Hong,Wen, Li-Jun,Wu, Li-Li,Ping, Na-Na,Xie, Jun-Dan,Chen, Mei-Yu,Chen, Su-Ning Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2013 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.14 No.12

The diagnosis of latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is recommended in hematological malignancy patients and before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Guidelines for the prevention and management of infectious complications of solid organ transplantation, 2004). Compared to traditional methods such as tuberculin skin test (TST), T-SPOT.TB has been shown to be more specific. In the present study we enrolled 536 patients for whom T-SPOT.TB was performed, among which 295 patients also received the TST test. The agreement (79%) between T-SPOT.TB and TST was poor (x=0.274, P<0.001). The patients with positive T-SPOT.TB results numbered 62 (11.6%), in which only 20 (48.8%) of the 41 receiving the TST test had positive results. A majority of the patients with T-SPOT.TB positive results had some other evidence ofTB, such as TB history, clinical symptoms and an abnormal chest CT scan. Active TB was found in 9 patients, in which 2 had negative TST results. We followed up the patients and no one developed active TB. Our study suggested that the T-SPOT.TB may be more useful for screening LTBI and active TB in hematological malignancy patients and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients than the TST test.

재무위험의 존재가 기업의 생명을 위협하기 때문에 재무위험에 대한 연구는 재무회계분야에서 중요한 문제이다. 기업의 부적절한 재무위험 관리는 경영을 위기에 처하게 한다. 기업의 재무위험은 내부 또는 외부에 여러 가지 요인에 의해 발생시키며 하나의 예로, 불합리한 기업의 지배구조이다. 기업의 지배구조의 핵심으로서 이사회는 투자자를 대표하여 기업의 임원을 감독하므로 기업은 재무위험에 대하여 필연적인 책임을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 이사회 구조와 재무위험에 관한 관계를 연구하였다. 즉, 이사회 규모, 직위 설정, 회의 빈도 및 지분율의 4가지 이사회 구조와 기업 재무위험 관계를 이론 및 실증적으로 분석하였다. 본 연구는 2011-2018년 동안 중국 상하이 및 선전 주식 시장에서 A주 제조 기업을 대상으로 이사회 구조가 기업의 재무위험 수준에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 이를 위해 기술적 통계와 상관관계 및 선형회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 이사회 구조는 재무위험에 많은 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인했다. 이사회 규모, 회의 빈도는 기업의 재무위험과 유의한 양(+)의 관계가 있는 것으로 나타난 반면, 지분율은 재무위험에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 직위 설정과 재무위험 사이에는 부(-)의 값이 나타났으나 통계적으로는 유의하지 않았다. 본 연구는 이사회의 규모, 직위 설정, 회의 빈도 및 지분율에 대한 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 기업의 이사회 구조 개선과 재무위험을 줄이는 방법을 설명하고 재무위험을 줄이기 위한 제안과 앞으로의 연구방향을 제시하였다. The study of financial risk is a critical issue in financial accounting because the existence of financial risk threatens the life of the enterprise. Improper handling of financial risks by companies puts business at risk. A company"s financial risk is caused by several internal or external factors such as unreasonable corporate governance structure. As the core of corporate governance, the board of directors supervises the executives of the company on behalf of the investor. So, the company is inevitably responsible for financial risk. Therefore, this study studied the relationship between board structure and financial risk. This study theoretically and empirically analyzes the relationship between board structure and corporate financial risk using four aspects which are board size, board position setting, board meeting frequency, and board share ratio. This study selected A-share manufacturing companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets in China during 2011-2018. In addition, descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient analysis, and linear regression analysis were used to study the impact of the board structure on corporate financial risks. This study found that the board structure of manufacturing companies had a greater impact on financial risk than other factors. board size and the frequency of board meetings also showed a significant correlation with the company"s financial risk. Shareholding ratio of board of directors was not significant for financial risk. There was an inverse correlation between board position setting and financial risk, but it was not statistically significant. Based on the results of this study, this study explains how to improve the company"s board structure and reduce financial risks and suggests proposals to reduce financial risks and further research direction.

Growth of Ni/Co-Catalyzed Crystalline CNx Thin Films by Nitrogen-Plasma-Assisted Pulsed Laser Deposition

Li Li,Ning Xu,Aimin Wu,Hao Ling,Jian Sun,Xiaokang Shen 한국물리학회 2005 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.46 No.1

Nanocrystalline carbon nitride (CNx) thin ¯lms have been synthesized by nitrogen-plasma-assisted pulsed-laser deposition. Before depositing carbon nitride ¯lm, Ni/Co was deposited on the silicon (100) substrate acting as catalyst. The properties of the deposited ¯lms were studied by several diagnostic techniques. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used for detecting the compo-sition ratio N/C in the ¯lm. From studying Raman spectra under dierent conditions we can ¯nd how glow discharge pressure aects the carbon nitride ¯lm properties. Two stages in this process and nanocrystallites of tens of nanometers embedded in the as-synthesized thin ¯lm can be seen by transmission-electron microscopy. The FTIR spectrum suggests an abundance of C-N bonds and paucity of C´N bonds, which is a favorable chance for the formation of carbon nitride crystallites. The crystalline nature of the ¯lm is detected by X-ray diraction.

Validation of prognostic scores to predict short-term mortality in patients with HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure: The CLIF-C OF is superior to MELD, CLIF SOFA, and CLIF-C ACLF

Li, Ning,Huang, Chong,Yu, Kang-Kang,Lu, Qing,Shi, Guang-Feng,Zheng, Jian-Ming The Authors. Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, I 2017 Medicine Vol.96 No.17

ABSTRACT: Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients has a high short-term mortality. Identification of effective models to predict the short-term mortality may enable early intervention and improve patients’ prognosis. We aim to assess the performance of the CLIF Consortium Organ Failure score (CLIF-C OFs), CLIF sequential organ failure assessment score (CLIF-SOFAs), CLIF Consortium ACLF score (CLIF-C ACLFs), ACLF grade, and model for end-stage liver disease score (MELDs) in predicting the short-term mortality in CHB patients with ACLF.Among the 155 consecutive adult patients with liver failure as a discharge diagnosis were screened, and all the patients were treated at the Department of Infectious Diseases, Huashan Hospital, Fudan University (Shanghai, China) from January 2010 to February 2016. The diagnosis of ACLF was based on the criteria formalized by the ACLF consensus recommendations of the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL). Diagnostic accuracy for predicting short-term (28-day) mortality was calculated for CLIF-C OFs, CLIF-SOFAs, CLIF-C ACLFs, ACLF grade, and MELDs in all patients.One hundred fifty-five consecutive adult liver failure patients were screened and 85 patients including 73 males and 12 females were enrolled. Overall, the 28-day transplant-free mortality was 32% in all patients, and 100% in those with severe early course (ACLF-3). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of CLIF-C OFs (AUROC: 0.906, P = .0306, compared with MELDs) was higher than those of CLIF-SOFAs (AUROC: 0.876), CLIF-C ACLFs (AUROC: 0.858), ACLF grade (AUROC: 0.857), and MELDs (AUROC: 0.838) for predicting short-term mortality. The cut-point for baseline CLIF-C OFs in predicting death was 8.5, with 67% sensitivity, 90% specificity, and AUROC of 0.906 (95% CI: 0.8450–0.9679).The results indicate that short-term mortality is high in patients with ACLF and CLIF Consortium Organ Failure score is superior to MELD, CLIF SOFA, and CLIF-C ACLF in predicting its short-term mortality.
