Objective: Hounsfield units (HU), vertebral bone quality (VBQ), and bone mineral density (BMD) can all serve as predictive indicators for thoracolumbar fragility fractures. This study aims to explore which indicator provides better risk prediction for thoracolumbar fragility fractures. Methods: Patients who have received medical attention from The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University for thoracolumbar fragility fractures were selected. A total of 78 patients with thoracolumbar fragility fractures were included in the study. To establish a control group, 78 patients with degenerative spinal diseases were matched to the fracture group on the basis of gender, age, and body mass index. The lumbar vertebral HU, the VBQ, and the BMD were obtained for all the 156 patients through computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The correlations among these parameters were analyzed. The area under curve (AUC) analysis was employed to assess the predictive efficacy and thresholds of lumbar vertebral HU, VBQ, and BMD in relation to the risk of thoracolumbar fragility fractures. Results: Among the cohort of 156 patients, lumbar vertebral HU exhibited a positive correlation with BMD (p < 0.01). Conversely, VBQ showed a negative correlation with HU, BMD (p < 0.05). HU and BMD displayed a favorable predictive efficacy for thoracolumbar fragility fractures (p < 0.01), with HU (AUC = 0.863) showcasing the highest predictive efficacy, followed by the DEXA-measured BMD (AUC = 0.813). VBQ (AUC = 0.602) ranked lowest among the 3 indicators. The thresholds for predicting thoracolumbar fragility fractures were as follows: HU (88),VBQ (3.37), and BMD (0.81). Conclusion: All 3 of these indicators, HU, VBQ, and BMD, can predict thoracolumbar fragility fractures. Notably, lumbar vertebral HU exhibits the highest predictive efficacy, followed by the BMD obtained through DEXA scanning, with VBQ demonstrating the lowest predictive efficacy.

Objective: CXCL12 exerts a wide variety of chemotactic effects on cells. Evidence indicates that CXCL12, in conjunction with its receptor, CXCR4, promotes invasion and metastasis of tumor cells. Our objective was to explore whether the CXCL12-CXCR4 biological axis might influence biological behavior of pancreatic cancer cells. Methods: Miapaca-2 human pancreatic cancer cells were cultured under three different conditions: normal medium (control), medium + recombinant CXCL12 (CXCL12 group), or medium + CXCR4-inhibitor AMD3100 (AMD3100 group). RT-PCR was applied to detect mRNA expression levels of CXCL12, CXCR4, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2), MMP-9, and human urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA). Additionally, cell proliferation and invasion were performed using CCK-8 colorimetry and transwell invasion assays, respectively. Results: CXCL12 was not expressed in Miapaca-2 cells, but CXCR4 was detected, indicating that these cells are capable of receiving signals from CXCL12. Expression of extracellular matrix-degrading enzymes MMP-2, MMP-9, and uPA was upregulated in cells exposed to exogenous CXCL12 (P<0.05). Additionally, both proliferation and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells were enhanced in the presence of exogenous CXCL12, but AMD3100 intervention effectively inhibited these processes (P<0.05). Conclusions: The CXCL12-CXCR4 biological axis plays an important role in promoting proliferation and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells.

Ru catalysts supported on ZnO with different Ru contents were prepared by an impregnation method and were applied to the vapor-phase selective hydrogenation of crotonaldehyde. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), NH3 temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD),transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO). It was found that with increasing Ru contents in the Ru/ZnO catalysts, the activity (TOF), surface acidity amount and deactivation rate increased and the selectivity to crotyl alcohol increased first and then decreased. The 3Ru/ZnO catalyst showed the highest selectivity to crotyl alcohol (up to 88.0%) for the hydrogenation of crotonaldehyde. The initial TOF values of the catalysts depended on the strength of surface acidity and the Ru particle sizes. The more Lewis acid sites made catalysts deactivate more easily. It was assumed that the deactivation was due to the formation of organic compounds deposition and poison effect of CO strongly adsorbed on the Ru atoms.
Experimental investigation of long-term characteristics of greenschist
Zhang, Qing-Zhao,Shen, Ming-Rong,Ding, Wen-Qi,Jang, Hyun-Sic,Jang, Bo-An Techno-Press 2016 Geomechanics & engineering Vol.11 No.4
The greenschist in the Jinping II Hydropower Station in southwest China exhibits continuous creep behaviour because of the geological conditions in the region. This phenomenon illustrates the time-dependent deformation and progressive damage that occurs after excavation. In this study, the responses of greenschist to stress over time were determined in a series of laboratory tests on samples collected from the access tunnel walls at the construction site. The results showed that the greenschist presented time-dependent behaviour under long-term loading. The samples generally experienced two stages: transient creep and steady creep, but no accelerating creep. The periods of transient creep and steady creep increased with increasing stress levels. The long-term strength of the greenschist was identified based on the variation of creep strain and creep rate. The ratio of long-term strength to conventional strength was around 80% and did not vary much with confining pressures. A quantitative method for predicting the failure period of greenschist, based on analysis of the stress-strain curve, is presented and implemented. At a confining pressure of 40 MPa, greenschist was predicted to fail in 5000 days under a stress of 290 MPa and to fail in 85 days under the stress of 320 MPa, indicating that the long-term strength identified by the creep rate and creep strain is a reliable estimate.

The Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae (marbled flounder) features one of the most commercially important marine fishes in P.R. China. Previous studies were mainly focused on the biology and genetic breeding of the fish, little have been reported about the molecular mechanism of its reproduction. In this study, we used second generation Illumina sequencing to investigate the genes of Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae that regulate gonadal development and obtained 40,882 unigenes from the hypothalamus and pituitary samples of the fish at maturation and regression phases. Homogonous sequences of 29,129 unigenes (71.25 %) were identified and 308 unigenes among which were associated with the regulation of reproductive endocrine. These genes are a very useful resource for future studies of P.yokohamae. All unigenes with eggNog annotations were divided into 26 categories that are mostly involved in signal transduction, translation mechanism, physiological and biochemical processes, etc. Based on KEGG analysis, all unigenes expressed at the maturation phase were involved in 107 metabolic pathways, with 184 up-regulated sequences, while the unigenes expressed at the regression phase were related to 210 metabolic pathways, with 858 up-regulated sequences. Additionally, the quantitative real-time PCR results indicated that follicle stimulating hormone and prolactin-releasing peptide receptor are highly expression at the regression phase, while growth hormone releasing hormone, kisspeptin, gonadotropin and insulin growth-like factors expressed higher at the maturation phase. This study provides valuable data for better understanding the transcriptome profiles of marbled flounder and may help to improve artificial reproduction technologies of the fish.
Aldehyde Volatiles Emitted in Succession from Mechanically Damaged Leaves of Poplar Cuttings
( Zeng Hui Hu ),( Ying Bai Shen ),( You Qing Luo ),( Fan Yi Shen ),( Hai Bo Gao ),( Rong Fu Gao ) 한국식물학회 2008 Journal of Plant Biology Vol.51 No.4
Plant aldehydes are volatiles necessary to defenses against environmental stress. To explore their emissions in response to wounding, we performed gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) on cuttings from poplar (Populus simonii×P. pyramidalis ``Opera 8277``) that were mechanically damaged to mimic herbivore attack. We detected 16 aldehydes, including 11 linear saturated aldehydes, 3 linear unsaturated aldehydes, and 2 non-linear aldehydes. Emissions of these aldehydes were clearly enhanced by such treatment, and exhibited a similar pattern of change, i.e., increasing in the first 2 h, then sharply decreasing before rising again at about 12 h. Two release peaks for these aldehydes were observed. Therefore, we propose two pathways for the mediation of aldehyde emissions following damage. The first peak may represent emissions from plant storage pools, whereas the second release peak might result from greater formation de novo through an activated synthesis pathway.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of hypoxia-inducible factor-2 (HIF-2α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) with radiographic severity in primary osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Expression of these two factors in cartilagesamples from OA knee joints was examined at mRNA and protein levels. Materials and Methods: Knee joints were examined using plain radiographs, and OA severity was assessed using the Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) grading system. Specimens were collected from 29 patients (31 knees) who underwent total knee replacementbecause of severe medial OA of the knee (KL grades 3 and 4), 16 patients who underwent knee arthroscopy (KL grade 2), and 5 patients with traumatic knees (KL grade 0). HIF-2α and VEGF expression was quantified by real-time polymerase chain reactionand western blotting. Results: Cartilage degeneration correlated with the radiographic severity grade. OA severity, determined using the Mankin scale, correlated positively with the KL grade (r=0.8790, p<0.01), and HIF-2α and VEGF levels with the radiographic severity of knee OA (r=0.7001, p<0.05; r=0.6647, p<0.05). Conclusion: In OA cartilage, HIF-2α and VEGF mRNA and protein levels were significantly and positively correlated. The expressionof both factors correlated positively with the KL grade. HIF-2α and VEGF, therefore, may serve as biochemical markers as well as potential therapeutic targets in knee OA.
