Properties on $q$-difference Riccati equation

Zhibo Huang,Ran-Ran Zhang 대한수학회 2018 대한수학회보 Vol.55 No.6

In this paper, we investigate a certain type of $q$-difference Riccati equation in the complex plane. We prove that $q$-difference Riccati equation possesses a one parameter family of meromorphic solutions if it has three distinct meromorphic solutions. Furthermore, we find that all meromorphic solutions of $q$-difference Riccati equation and corresponding second order linear $q$-difference equation can be expressed by $q$-gamma function if this $q$-difference Riccati equation admits two distinct rational solutions and $q\in\mathbb{C}$ such that $0<|q|<1$. The growth and value distribution of differences of meromorphic solutions of $q$-difference Riccati equation are also treated.

Zhibo Huang,Zongxuan Chen 대한수학회 2010 대한수학회보 Vol.47 No.3

In this paper, we investigate the zeros distribution and Borel direction for the solutions of linear homogeneous differential equation f(n) + An−2(z)f(n−2) + · · · + A1(z)f' + A0(z)f = 0 (n ≥ 2)in an angular domain. Especially, we establish a relation between a cluster ray of zeros and Borel direction.

A pilot study of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist combined with aromatase inhibitor as fertility-sparing treatment in obese patients with endometrial cancer

Zhibo Zhang,Huifang Huang,Fengzhi Feng,Jinhui Wang,Ninghai Cheng 대한부인종양학회 2019 Journal of Gynecologic Oncology Vol.30 No.4

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effects and pregnancy outcomes of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH agonist) combined with aromatase inhibitor (AI) in preserving the fertility of obese women with grade 1 endometrial cancer (EC). Methods: This study recruited obese EC patients who wished to preserve their fertility. The treatment regimen consisted of intramuscular GnRH agonist 3.75 mg every 4 weeks and oral AI 2.5 mg daily. The maintenance regimen was the same as the initial treatment regimen. Primary outcomes included response rate, time to complete response (CR), and time to recurrence; pregnancy outcomes included the time to pregnancy, pregnancy rate and live birth rate. Results: Six obese patients with EC were included in this study, with the age (mean±standard deviation [SD]) of 30.5±3.3 years and body mass index (mean±SD) of 35.0±1.4 kg/m2. CR rate was 100%, and time to CR was 3–6 months. None of the patients had recurrence after a median follow-up of 4.0 years (range, 1.3–7.0 years). The most common side effects were menopause-like symptoms. Among these patients, no weight gain was observed during treatment. The pregnancy rate and live birth rate was 50.0% and 75.0%, respectively, with a median time to pregnancy of 2.4 years (range, 1.0–5.5 years). Conclusion: The combination of GnRH agonist and AI demonstrated promising long-term effect in young obese EC patients who wished to preserve their fertility. No weight gain side effects were observed. Further studies with a larger sample size are needed to fully evaluate this novel treatment regimen.

Highly efficient separation of uranium from wastewater by in situ synthesized hydroxyapatite modified coal fly ash composite aerogel

Siqi Huang,Congcong Chen,Zhibo Zhao,Lingyi Jia,Yong Zhang 한국공업화학회 2023 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.118 No.-

In this work, hydroxyapatite (HAP) was in situ synthesized on coal fly ash (CFA) to prepare hydroxyapatitemodified coal fly ash composite aerogel (HCFAA). The maximum removal efficiency and capabilityof uranium(VI) on HCFAA were 97.6 % and 205.7 mg g1, respectively, which was much higher than thoseof CFA (83.6 % and 59.1 mg g1) (pH = 3.0, m/V = 1.0 g/L and T = 298 K). The desorption efficiency of uranium(VI) by HCFAA was even more than 80 % after five cycles, demonstrating that the introduction ofHAP had improved uranium(VI) removal performances. Pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models werefitted better with the experimental data, indicating the uranium(VI) removal process was a homogeneousmonolayer chemisorption. Meanwhile, the uranium(VI) removal efficiency for HCFAA in actual wastewaterwas higher to 80.6 % and uranium(VI) could even be completely separated from actual wastewaterby HCFAA during dynamic adsorption (m = 50 mg, V = 400 mL, C0 = 10 mg/L), further illustrating that theintroduction of HAP was an available method to modify CFA. Characterizations results demonstrated thaturanium(VI) was successfully immobilized on HCFAA through ion exchange, dissolution-precipitationand surface complexation. In conclusion, HCFAA was a prospective adsorbent for uranium(VI) separationin practical application.

Expression characterization and transcription regulation analysis of porcine Yip1 domain family member 3 gene

Ni, Dongjiao,Huang, Xiang,Wang, Zhibo,Deng, Lin,Zeng, Li,Zhang, Yiwei,Lu, Dongdong,Zou, Xinhua Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2020 Animal Bioscience Vol.33 No.3

Objective: The Yip1 domain family (YIPF) proteins were proposed to function in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to Golgi transport and maintenance of the morphology of the Golgi, which were homologues of yeast Yip1p and Yif1p. YIPF3, the member 3 of YIPF family was a homolog of Yif1p. The aim of present study was to investigate the expression and regulation mechanism of porcine YIPF3. Methods: Quantitative realtime polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to analyze porcine YIPF3 mRNA expression pattern in different tissues and pig kidney epithelial (PK15) cells stimulated by polyinosine-polycytidylic acid (poly [I:C]). Site-directed mutations combined with dual luciferase reporter assays and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) were employed to reveal transcription regulation mechanism of porcine YIPF3. Results: Results showed that the mRNA of porcine YIPF3 (pYIPF3) was widely expressed with the highest levels in lymph and lung followed by spleen and liver, while weak in heart and skeletal muscle. Subcellular localization results indicated that it expressed in Golgi apparatus and plasma membranes. Upon stimulation with poly (I:C), the level of this gene was dramatically up-regulated in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. pYIPF3 core promoter region harbored three cis-acting elements which were bound by ETS proto-oncogene 2 (ETS2), zinc finger and BTB domain containing 4 (ZBTB4), and zinc finger and BTB domain containing 14 (ZBTB14), respectively. In which, ETS2 and ZBTB4 both promoted pYIPF3 transcription activity while ZBTB14 inhibited it, and these three transcription factors all played important regulation roles in tumorigenesis and apoptosis. Conclusion: The pYIPF3 mRNA expression was regulated by ETS2, ZBTB4, and ZBTB14, and its higher expression in immune organs might contribute to enhancing ER to Golgi transport of proteins, thus adapting to the immune response.

Meromorphic solutions of a complex difference equation of Malmquist type

Ran-Ran Zhang,Zhibo Huang 대한수학회 2014 대한수학회보 Vol.51 No.6

In this paper, we investigate the finite order transcendental meromorphic solutions of complex difference equation of Malmquist type n ∏ i=1 f(z + ci) = R(z, f), where c1, . . ., cn ∈ C\ {0}, and R(z, f) is an irreducible rational function in f(z) with meromorphic coefficients. We obtain some results on defi- ciencies of the solutions. Using these results, we prove that the growth order of the finite order solution f(z) is 1, if f(z) has Borel exceptional values a(∈ C) and 1. Moreover, we give the forms of f(z).
