The characteristic behavior of hot-wall deposited BaGa2Se4 layers was investigated as a function of temperature. The structural quality of the layers was found to be affected by tensile strain due to the coincidence-lattice mismatch. The carrier mobility showed an aspect of two scattering mechanisms. As the temperature was increased to 100 K, the mobility increased as a function of T1 due to impurity scattering. Also, at temperatures higher than 100 K, its behavior was reduced to two different-temperature slopes caused by lattice scattering. One was a function of T−3/2 at T > 200 K, and the other was a function of T−1/2 for 100 < T > 200 K. From the behavior of log n(T) versus 1/T, three donor-trap levels due to native defects were observed. By tracking the spectral photocurrent (PC) behavior with decreasing temperature, we found that the three PCpeak positions shifted toward shorter wavelengths and their intensities were dramatically decreased. These spectral PC peaks were due to the band-to-band transition. These band-gap variation were well matched by Eg(T) = Eg(0)−2.06×10 −3T2/(T +230.7). By the selection rule, the crystal-field and the spin-orbit splitting were found to be 0.2031 and −0.2259 eV, respectively. In the log Jph versus 1/T plot, we found that the spectral PC-intensity behavior was related to two donor-trap levels by comparing with the carrier concentration results. In conclusion, the dramatic decrease in the spectral PC intensity was attributed to trapping centers.

Kim, J.H.,Choi, Y.J.,Lee, B.H.,Song, M.Y.,Ban, C.Y.,Kim, J.,Park, J.,Kim, S.E.,Kim, T.G.,Park, S.H.,Kim, H.P.,Sung, Y.C.,Kim, S.C.,Shin, E.C. Mosby 2016 The journal of allergy and clinical immunology Vol.137 No.5

<P>Background: Psoriasis is one of the most common chronic inflammatory diseases of the skin. Recently, IL-17-producing T cells have been shown to play a critical role in psoriatic inflammation. Programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) is a coinhibitory receptor expressed on T cells in various chronic inflammatory diseases; however, the expression and function of PD-1 during psoriatic inflammation have not previously been characterized. Objective: We examined PD-1 expression on IL-17A-producing T cells from imiquimod-treated mice and patients with psoriasis. Additionally, we investigated the therapeutic effect of recombinant programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) protein on imiquimod-induced psoriatic inflammation. Methods: PD-1 expression on IL-17A-producing gamma delta T cells from imiquimod-treated mice was examined by means of multicolor flow cytometric analysis. In the psoriatic skin of patients, PD-1 and IL-17A expression was analyzed by using immunofluorescence. The therapeutic effect of PD-L1-Fc fusion protein (PD-L1-Fc) was assessed in imiquimod-treated mice ex vivo and in vivo. Results: During imiquimod-induced psoriatic inflammation, PD-1 is overexpressed on CD27(-)V gamma 1(-) gamma delta T cells. Furthermore, PD-1 expression on IL-17A(+) T cells was confirmed in psoriatic skin tissues from patients and imiquimod-treated mice. In the CD27(-)V gamma 1(-) gamma delta T-cell population, V gamma 4(-) gamma delta T cells with V gamma 6 mRNA expression showed a high level of PD-1 expression. Furthermore, these PD-1(hi)V gamma 4(-)(V gamma 6(+)) gamma delta Tcells were specialized for anti-CD3-induced IL-17A production, which was inhibited by PD-L1-Fc treatment. In imiquimod-treated mice PD-L1-Fc reduced psoriatic inflammation when given alone and enhanced the therapeutic effect of anti-p40 when given in combination. Conclusion: PD-1 is overexpressed in IL-17A-producing T cells in both imiquimod-treated mice and patients with psoriasis. Moreover, recombinant PD-L1-Fc alleviates psoriatic inflammation in imiquimod-treated mice.</P>

To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the measurement of free thyroxine(FT4) by radioimmunoassay, we measured free T4 and T4, T3, T3RU, TSH and TBG serum levels by radioimmunoassay in 18 healthy persons and 52 patients with various thyroid diseases and 11 normal pregnant women. The results are as follows. 1) In 19 cases of overt hyperthyroidism, T3, free T4 and FTI, T4/TBG ratio reflect hyperfunction in all cases. T4 is increased in 94%(18/19) and TBG and TSH are decreased in 79%(15/19). 2) In 8 patients with overt hypothyroidism, TSH is increased in all cases and free T4 and FTI is decreased in all cases. T4 is decreased in 87.5%(7/8), T3 is decreased in 75%(6/8) and T4/TBG ratio is decreased in 62.5%(5/8). 3) In 5 patients who are clinically in euthyroid state after treatment of hyperthyroidism, T4 free T4, FTI and TSH are in the normal range in all cases and T3 is normal in 60%(3/5) and slightly increased in 40%(2/5). 4) In 10 patients who showed clinically borderline hypothyroidism after treatment of hyperthyroidism, TSH is increased in all cases and free T4 and FTI are decreased in all cases, but T4 and T3, T4/TBG ratio are in the normal limit in all cases. So after treatment of hyperthyroidism, TSH, free T4 or FTI are recommended as optimal function test. 5) In normal pregnancy, free T4, FTI and T4/TBG ratio reflect normal function, but the other parameters unreliable due to the influence of increased TBG. Also TBG and TSH level in pregnancy is increased significantly compared with normal healthy control group. 6) The coefficients of correlation between T4 and FTI were 0.862(p〈0.001) and 0.685(p〈0.001) between free T4 and T4/TBG ratio. In most patients, diagnostic value of free T4 was comparable and even superior to FTI, so free T4 measurement can be used routinely with thyrotropin assay in the diagnosis of hypothyrodism or with T3 for the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism.

Dye mixture promoted light harvesting for organic dye-sensitized solar cells using triphenylamine dyes with various numbers of anchoring groups

Nguyen, T.H.,Suresh, T.,Kim, J.H. Elsevier Science 2016 ORGANIC ELECTRONICS Vol.30 No.-

Co-sensitizers and co-adsorbents are promising materials to enhance the light harvesting efficiency and reduce the un-expected back transfer reaction (recombination) of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In this study, three sensitizers with triphenylamine as an electron donor, thiophene as a bridge and various numbers of acceptors/anchors cyanoacetic acid (TPA3T1A, TPA3T2A and TPA3T3A) were synthesized, and TPA3T1A and TPA3T2A were used as co-adsorbents with TPA3T3A. The results showed that co-adsorption on the TiO<SUB>2</SUB> surface at the following percentages, TPA3T3A 73%, TPA3T1A 17% and TPA3T2A 10%, resulted in an increase in the photovoltaic performance of the DSSCs from 5.27% to 5.83% compared to that of a single TPA3T3A sensitizer due to the increasing J<SUB>SC</SUB> and V<SUB>OC</SUB>. This enhancement might be due to improved light absorption and decreasing recombination by the co-sensitizers, TPA3T1A and TPA3T2A, occupying all the empty plases on the TPA3T3A-adsorbed TiO<SUB>2</SUB> surface.

In a trial involving 240pigs, the proximate composition, physico-chemical properites, color, amino acid composition and fatty acid composition of loin muscle were investigated in feeding various finished pig fees. The treatments included feeding control) the low-nutrient density diet(2,960㎈/㎏ ME, 12.25% CP, 0.41% lysine and 0.70% Ca), T1) the medium-nutrient density diet(3,220㎈/㎏ ME, 15.50% CP, 0.87% lysine and 0.90% Ca) and T2) the hight-nutrient density diet(3,350㎈/㎏ ME, 17.50% CP, 1.05% lysine and 0.90% Ca). The crude ash contents of T1 were significantly(p<0.05) higher than those of control and T2. The ?_(u) of T2 were significantly higher than those of control and T1, but cooking loss were significantly(p<0.05) lower than those of control. In compositions amino acid, aspartic acid, threonine, iso-leucine and histidine of T2 were higher than those of control, but proline and glycine were significantly(p<0.05) lower then those of control. The oleic acid(18:1) contents of control were significantly higher than those of T1 and T2, but the contents of linoleic acid(C18:2) and arachidonic(C20:4) acid were significantly(p<0.05) lower. Inconclusion, the results of the experiments suggest that the high-nutrient density diet for pigs tended to improve the postmortem ?_(u) and cooking loss.
