Through retrospective analysis of 13 cases of magnetic resonance image (MRI) manifestations of atypical meningiomas confirmed by operation and pathology in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University, the objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of MRI in order to improve the accuracy rate of preoperative diagnosis. In this retrospective analysis of MRI findings for atypical meningiomas in First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from January to July in 2012, the location, morphology and tumor signals and other tumor imaging characteristics were covered. In 13 cases of atypical meningioma patients of this group, most tumors were located at typical sites (10/13), mainly the falx cerebri, parasagittal, convexity, saddle area. Only two cases were at atypical locations, 1 in the cerebellar hemisphere and 1 in a lateral ventricle. Most of the tumors showed T1 and T2 isointensity signals, and necrosis, calcification, and peritumoral edema were always featured. DWI showed isointensity in 11 cases (11/13), and hyperintensity in 2. Some 9 cases had dural tail signs, 12 had accurate positioning (12/13), and 2 were postoperative recurrences. MRI has high value in the diagnosis of atypical meningiomas, with important roles in early clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis evaluation.

The study aims to analyze the spatial formation process of the British Concession and Old Walled Shanghai in modern Shanghai. According to the relevant urban planning system promulgated by the British Concession and Old Walled Shanghai in modern times, the main changes of the citys waterways and roads, distribution of urban areas and major facilities under the influence of the system were analyzed. After analysis, the results revealed that the county town known as the birthplace of traditional Shanghai culture retained its urban context in the process of transforming into a modern urban space while the British Concession was endowed with a new urban language under the new system. The development of urban space was orderly under the norms of the political system. Under the premise of formulating the development direction as the framework, the goal of positive and orderly development of urban space was achieved through the means of autonomy. However, in the absence of the general framework of the development direction and the imperfect political system, the means of self-government are limited, and urban space develops in an unhealthy direction of disorder and excess development. Through analysis of the three main roads in the British Concession and Old Walled Shanghai regarding the development of the city, the urban streets were gradually given new characteristics, and the street and building functions changed with these new characteristics.

Cui, Yan-Hui,Liang, Hai-Jun,Zhang, Qing-Qin,Li, Si-Qing,Li, Xiao-Rui,Huo, Xiao-Qing,Yang, Qing-Hui,Li, Wei-Wei,Gu, Jian-Fa,Hua, Qin-Liang,Lu, Ping,Miao, Zhan-Hui Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2012 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.13 No.4

Objective: To explore the effect on radiosensitivity of arsenic trioxide ($As_20_3$) in conjunction with hyperthermia on the esophageal carcinoma EC-1 cell line. Method: Inhibition of EC-1 cell proliferation at different concentrations of $As_20_3$ was assessed using the methyl thiazolyl blue colorimetric method (MTT method), with calculation of $IC_{50}$ value and choice of 20% of the $IC_{50}$ as the experimental drug concentration. Blank control, $As_20_3$, hyperthermia, radiotherapy group, $As_20_3$ + hyperthermia, $As_20_3$ + radiotherapy, hyperthermia + radiotherapy and $As_20_3$ + hyperthermia + radiotherapy groups were established, and the cell survival fraction (SF) was calculated from flat panel colony forming analysis, and fitted by the 'multitarget click mathematical model'. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to detect changes in cell apoptosis and the cell cycle. Results: $As_20_3$ exerted inhibitory effects on proliferation of esophageal carcinoma EC-1 cells, with an $IC_{50}$ of 18.7 ${\mu}mol/L$. After joint therapy of $As_20_3$ + hyperthermia + radiotherapy, the results of FCM showed that cells could be arrested in the $G_2$/M phase, and as the ratio of cells in $G_0/G_1$ and S phases decreased, cell death became more pronounced. Conclusion: $As_20_3$ and hyperthermia exert radiosensitivity effects on esophageal carcinoma EC-1 cells, with synergy in combination. Mechanistically, $As_20_3$ and hyperthermia mainly influence the cell cycle distribution of EC-1 esophageal carcinoma cells, decreasing the repair of sublethal damage and inducing apoptosis, thereby enhancing the killing effects of radioactive rays.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) gene is expressed at the anterior pituitary gland and plays a key role in gonad development. This study aimed to investigate molecular genetic characteristics of the GnRHR gene and elucidate the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of GnRHR gene on sex steroid level in Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). We used polymerase chain reaction single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and sequencing of the GnRHR gene in 75 individuals. We identified three SNPs in the GnRHR gene: P1 locus (C759A and C830T) in the coding region of exon2 which were both linked together and P2 locus (G984T) in the coding region of exon3, which added a new transcript factor (ADR1) and a new methylation site (CG). Only C830T of P1 leads to amino acid changes Thr266Ile. Statistical analysis showed that P1 was significantly associated with $17{\beta}$-estradiol ($E_2$) level (p<0.01) and gonadosomatic index (GSI) (p<0.05). Individuals with genotype BB of P1 had significantly higher serum $E_2$ levels (p<0.01) and GSI (p<0.05) than those of genotype AA or AB. Another SNP, P2, synonymous mutation, was significantly associated with GSI (p<0.05). Individuals with genotype AB of P2 had significantly higher GSI (p<0.05) than that of genotype AA. In addition, there was a significant association between one diplotype based on three SNPs and reproductive traits. The genetic effects for both serum $E_2$ level and GSI of diplotype D4 were super diplotypes (p<0.05). These results suggest that the SNPs in Japanese Flounder GnRHR are associated with $E_2$ level and GSI.

Sputasol (Dithiothreitol 0.54%) Improves the Detection of Human Papillomaviruses Using the Cobas 4800 System

Dear Editor, Persistent infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer. Screening of cervical specimens for high-risk human papillomaviruses (HR-HPV) has become a routine part of patient care in most countries. The Roche cobas 4800 system (Roche Molecular Systems Inc., Pleasanton, CA, USA), a fully automated system that uses in vitro qualitative real-time PCR technology, displays high sensitivity and specificity for HR-HPV detection [1]. However, a small proportion of invalid results may occur in specimens showing mucopurulent discharge because of pipetting errors, clot formation, or failed amplification, which could cause a delay in the results and lead to additional waiting time for patients and extra work hours for staff, although most cases are resolved by vortexing the specimens and retesting. To the best of our knowledge, no researcher has tried to overcome this problem by pretreating specimens with an appropriate concentration of Sputasol (Oxoid Ltd., Basingstoke, United Kingdom); Sputasol (dithiothreitol 1.4%) has been used to aid culturing and DNA extraction from sputum specimens in some laboratories [2]. Here, we propose a standard method to improve HR-HPV detection without affecting the performance of the cobas 4800 HPV system.

( Rui Fa Hu ),( Ji Kun Huang ),( Song Qing Jin ),( Scott Rozelle ) 한국농촌경제연구원 2000 Journal of Rural Development Vol.23 No.1

The overall goal of our paper is to create a framework for studying the impact of national investment into research and extension in China and to measure the impact that such investments have had on creating productivity-increasing technology. Our purpose is to provide more convincing measures of the impacts of crop-specific investment in national research programs and the import of materials from the CG system. Specifically, we use a new measure of seed technology to track the changes in the quantity and quality of genetic resources in China`s major rice producing provinces from 1982 to 1995. We find that new technology has provided almost all of the growth of China`s TFP of rice. The International Rice Research Institute has supplied an important part of China`s rice germplasm and positively contributed to the health of Chin0a`s rice sector.

Interaction and micellar behavior of ternary mixture of amphoteric amino sulfonate surfactant with traditional anionic and nonionic surfactants: Effect of hydrophilicity

Qing Hua Zhang,Rui Sheng,Zhao Hua Ren,Jing Huang,Yun Xiao Wang,Ben Ru Wang,Xi Lei Huang,Qin Cheng,Xue Mei Wu,Tong Bo Wang 한국공업화학회 2023 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.120 No.-

The micellization and the molecular interaction behaviors for two ternary mixtures constituted by anamphoteric sodium 3-(n-dodecyl ethylenediamino)-2-hydroxypropyl sulfonate (C12AS), an anionicsodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) and a nonionic octylphenol polyoxyethylated ether with thenumber (n) of oxyethylene glycol ethers OP-n (n = 10 or 7) in aqueous solution were investigated usingthe tensiometry and the effect of hydrophilicity on them was also discussed. In the framework of pseudophaseseparation model and based on the regular solution theory, the related micellization parametersincluding the mixed critical micelle concentration (cmc) values in the ideal and real cases, the activitycoefficients and the compositions in mixed micelle, etc. and thermodynamic parameters were estimatedby the Clint’s model and the Rubingh’ model. The mixed cmc value is dependent on the composition inaqueous solution and influenced by the hydrophilicity of nonionic surfactant. With increasing the nonionicin ternary mixture, the mixed cmc value is initially decreased and then slightly rise. An increasingin the hydrophilicity of nonionic will make the minimum value of mixed cmc be increased from1.299 mM to 1.705 mM. The resulting phenomena can be explained reasonably by the electrostatic effect,the steric hindrance, the hydrogen bonding, etc. Thermodynamic data indicate that the contribution ofentropy or enthalpy plays a vital role on the spontaneous process of micellization and the share ofentropy or enthalpy in free energy change is dependent largely on the amount of nonionic surfactantand the hydrophilicity. In ternary mixtures of C12AS/SDBS/OP-10, an increase in an amount of OP-10 willinduce the change from the enthalpy-driven micellization process to the entropically favorable process. Once an abundant amount of OP-7 is added, while, the enthalpy will make a main contribution on themicellization process, which can be described by the drop in the share of entropy at the composition(0.6970/0.0000/0.3030) of ternary mixture from 0.6478 to 0.4901. These findings will help with understandingthe molecular interaction behavior for the ternary surfactant mixture and the effect of the additionof nonionic surfactant and its hydrophilicity.

Rui-Qian Zhang,Zhan-Qing Liu,Yan-Ling Luo,Feng Xu,Ya-Shao Chen 한국공업화학회 2019 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.80 No.-

To overcome premature drug leakage and instability in drug delivery systems, we designed tri-stimuliresponsive multiwalled carbon nanotubes covered by mesoporous silica graft poly(N-isopropylacryla-mide-block-poly(2-(4-formylbenzoyloxy) ethyl methacrylate) multifunctional materials via disulfidelinkages (MWCNTs@MSN-s-s-g-PNIPAM-b-PFBEMA). The multifunctional materials could covalentlybind and physically load anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX), and exhibited pH-, temperature- andreductant-induced multi-stimuli responsiveness, significantly enhancing drug loading capacity andimproving the release dynamics of drug. The DOX-loaded multifunctional materials exhibited theoptimal release behavior in cancer environments compared with in normal cells upon simultaneouslytriggered by these stimuli. It meant that the MWCNTs@MSN-s-s-g-PNIPAM-b-PFBEMA could serve asefficient gatekeepers to control the mesopore on–off and thus to modulate drug release. Themultifunctional materials were proved to be low toxic, whereas the DOX-loaded counterparts had almostthe same toxicity as free DOX to cancer cells. Therefore, the developed multifunctional materials can beused as promising drug controlled delivery platforms for cancer therapy.
