Yue, Hong Yan,Huang, Shuo,Chang, Jian,Heo, Chaejeong,Yao, Fei,Adhikari, Subash,Gunes, Fethullah,Liu, Li Chun,Lee, Tae Hoon,Oh, Eung Seok,Li, Bing,Zhang, Jian Jiao,Huy, Ta Quang,Luan, Nguyen Van,Lee, Y American Chemical Society 2014 ACS NANO Vol.8 No.2
<P>We report that vertically aligned ZnO nanowire arrays (ZnO NWAs) were fabricated on 3D graphene foam (GF) and used to selectively detect uric acid (UA), dopamine (DA), and ascorbic acid (AA) by a differential pulse voltammetry method. The optimized ZnO NWA/GF electrode provided a high surface area and high selectivity with a detection limit of 1 nM for UA and DA. The high selectivity in the oxidation potential was explained by the gap difference between the lowest unoccupied and highest occupied molecular orbitals of a biomolecule for a set of given electrodes. This method was further used to detect UA levels in the serum of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). The UA level was 25% lower in PD patients than in healthy individuals. This finding strongly implies that UA can be used as a biomarker for PD.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/ancac3/2014/ancac3.2014.8.issue-2/nn405961p/production/images/medium/nn-2013-05961p_0005.gif'></P><P><A href='http://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/nn405961p'>ACS Electronic Supporting Info</A></P>

Background: Differentiating morphologic features based on hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining is the most common method to classify pathological subtypes of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, its accuracy and inter-observer reproducibility in pathological diagnosis of poorly differentiated NSCLC remained to be improved. Materials and Methods: We attempted to explore the role of immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining in diagnosing pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC) with poorly differentiated features by HE staining or with elevated serum adenocarcinoma-specific tumor markers (AD-TMs). We also compared the difference of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation rate between patients with confirmed SQCC and those with revised pathological subtype. Logistic regression analyses were used to test the association between different factors and diagnostic accuracy. Results: A total of 132 patients who met the eligible criteria and had adequate specimens for IHC confirmation were included. Pathological revised cases in poor differentiated subgroup, biopsy samples and high-level AD-TMs cases were more than those with high/moderate differentiation, surgical specimens and normal-level AD-TMs. Moreover, biopsy sample was a significant factor decreasing diagnostic accuracy of pathological subtype (OR, 4.037; 95% CI 1.446-11.267, p=0.008). Additionally, EGFR mutation rate was higher in patients with pathological diagnostic changes than those with confirmed SQCC (16.7% vs 4.4%, p=0.157). Conclusions: Diagnosis based on HE staining only might cause pathological misinterpretation in NSCLC patients with poor differentiation or high-level AD-TMs, especially those with biopsy samples. HE staining and IHC should be combined as pathological diagnostic standard. The occurrence of EGFR mutations in pulmonary SQCC might be overestimated.

Zinc finger (ZNF) proteins play a critical role in cell growth, proliferation, apoptosis, and intracellular signal transduction. In this paper, we cloned and characterized a novel human KRAB-related zinc finger gene, ZNF425, which encodes a protein of 752 amino acids. ZNF425 is strongly expressed in the three month old human embryos and then is almost undetectable in six month old embryos and in adult tissues. An EGFP-ZNF425 fusion protein can be found in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm. ZNF425 appears to act as a transcription repressor. Over-expression of ZNF425 inhibits the transcriptional activities of SRE, AP-1, and SRF. Deletion analysis indicates that the C2H2 domain is the main region responsible for the repression. Our results suggest that the ZNF425 gene is a new transcriptional inhibitor that functions in the MAPK signaling pathway. [BMB reports 2011; 44(1): 58-63]
Electric Control of Friction on Silicon Studied by Atomic Force Microscope

We investigated friction on an n-type silicon surface using an atomic force microscope when a bias voltage was applied to the sample. Friction forces on the same track line were measured before and after the bias voltages were applied and it was found that the friction forces in n-type silicon can be tuned reversibly with the bias voltage. The dependence of adhesion forces between the silicon nitride tip and Si sample on the bias voltages approximately follows a parabolic law due to electrostatic force, which results in a significant increase in the friction force at an applied electric field.
An Efficient Parallel Infilling Strategy and Its Application in Sheet Metal Forming

Infilling strategies play an important role in kriging based optimization, especially when computationally expensive simulations are involved. In order to improve the efficiency of constructing a high-precision kriging model, an improved expected improvement criterion (IEI) and a parallel infilling strategy are proposed based on the maximum expected improvement (EI) criterion. In the proposed parallel infilling strategy, new sample points are generated by employing IEI criterion coupled with EI criterion. During the improved sampling process, redundant and pseudo sample are deleted in order to avoid failure of constructing a kriging model. An improved weighted particle swarm optimization (WPSO) algorithm is proposed to improve optimization efficiency. The proposed parallel infilling strategy is applied to nonlinear function optimization and variable blank holder force (VBHF) optimization in a double-c stamped part. Based on the LHD and software DYNAFORM, kriging models between the VBHF and forming quality are constructed. Compared with the initial kriging models, the meat relative error of kriging models with the proposed parallel infilling strategy for the wrinkling and average thinning rate are reduced by 95% and 55%, respectively. The optimal VBHF is obtained by the WPSO. The results show that, cracking has been completely eliminated and wrinkling has been decreased, greatly improving the forming quality of the double-c stamped part.
Three-dimensional features of MHD flows turning in a right-angle duct
Yue Yan,Shangjing Yang,Chang Nyung Kim 대한기계학회 2016 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.30 No.12
This study presents a numerical simulation of three-dimensional (3D) Liquid metal (LM) Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows turning in a right-angle duct with a square cross section under a uniform magnetic field applied perpendicular to the plane of the main flow. The 3D features of the flow in a fluid region adjacent to the duct walls of the turning segment are investigated. Cases with different Hartmann numbers and conductance parameters are analyzed using the CFX code. The MHD features of the LM flow are examined in terms of fluid velocity, current density, electric potential, and pressure gradient. The formation of a velocity recirculation is observed in the inner region of the right-angle segment immediately after the turning of the flow because of the inertial force therein, thereby yielding a region of low electric potential with a complicated current distribution. In particular, in the right-angle segment, the axial velocity in the side layer near the outer wall (that is, in the outer side layer) is relatively lower than that in the inflow and outflow channels. In addition, the velocity recirculation region in the right-angle segment decreases and the pressure gradient increases with an increase in conductance parameter.

Objective: To evaluate the spontaneous brain activity alterations in liver transplantation (LT) recipients using resting-state functional MRI. Materials and Methods: Twenty cirrhotic patients as transplant candidates and 25 healthy controls (HCs) were included in this study. All patients repeated the MRI study one month after LT. Amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) values were compared between cirrhotic patients (both pre- and post-LT) and HCs as well as between the pre- and post-LT groups. The relationship between ALFF changes and venous blood ammonia levels and neuropsychological tests were investigated using Pearson’s correlation analysis. Results: In the cirrhotic patients, decreased ALFF in the vision-related regions (left lingual gyrus and calcarine), sensorimotor-related regions (left postcentral gyrus and middle cingulate cortex), and the default-mode network (bilateral precuneus and left inferior parietal lobule) were restored, and the increased ALFF in the temporal and frontal lobe improved in the early period after LT. The ALFF decreases persisted in the right supplementary motor area, inferior parietal lobule, and calcarine. The ALFF changes in the right precuneus were negatively correlated with changes in number connection test-A scores (r = 0.507, p < 0.05). Conclusion: LT improved spontaneous brain activity and the results for associated cognition tests. However, decreased ALFF in some areas persisted, and new-onset abnormal ALFF were possible, indicating that complete cognitive function recovery may need more time.

Zinc finger-containing transcription factors are the largest single family of transcriptional regulators in mammals, which play an essential role in cell differentiation, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and neoplastic transformation. Here we have cloned a novel KRAB-related zinc finger gene, ZNF424, encoding a protein of 555aa. ZNF424 gene consisted of 4 exons and 3 introns, and mapped to chromosome 19p13.3. ZNF424 gene was ubiquitously expressed in human embryo tissues by Northern blot analysis. ZNF424 is conserved across species in evolution. Using a GFP-labeled ZNF424 protein, we demonstrate that ZNF424 localizes mostly in the nucleus. Transcriptional activity assays shows ZNF424 suppresses transcriptional activity of L8G5-luciferase. Overexpression of ZNF424 in HEK- 293 cells inhibited the transcriptional activity of NFAT and p21, which may be silenced by siRNA. The results suggest that ZNF424 protein may act as a transcriptional repressor that suppresses NFAT and p21 pathway to mediate cellular functions. [BMB reports 2010; 43(3): 212-218]
