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.

The Study of Influencing Factors of Mobile E-commerce Software Use Intention-based on TAM and TRA

Yan Zhao,Ya-Ru Xue,Yan-Fei Jin,Jun-Wei Li,Yi He 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Grid and Distributed Comp Vol.9 No.8

With the wide popularity of mobile devices, e-commerce software in the mobile client forms a larger consumer market, which makes the volume of e-commerce transactions having a wide range of growth. As the consumers have a frequent contact with mobile devices, which makes consumers pay more attention to security and entertainment of the e-commerce software. Past mobile e-business research typically focus on the related factors about transaction process, like interface design, services and user experience, but seldom study the factors about consumers. On the basis of the TAM, this paper not only added perceived security and perceived entertainment, but also the consumers’ personality factors like subjective norm in TRA, into the model. The study shows that PU, PEU, PS and PE all will have direct or indirect effects on use attitude and use intention, and subjective norms and use attitude will directly affect the consumers' use intention. Through the empirical analysis we found that e-commerce operators not only make the consumers experience more of usefulness and ease of use, security, and entertainment in the technology and services, but also improve the popularity with the aid of the mainstream media propaganda and star power to enhance the public's normative beliefs, which will ultimately affect the user behavior of the consumers.

Yan Zhao,Xiaoyang Ren,Wen Qiao,Lei Dong,Shuixiang He,Yan Yin 대한소화기 기능성질환∙운동학회 2019 Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility (JNM Vol.25 No.2

Background/Aims High-resolution anorectal manometry (HRAM) has been considered a first-line diagnostic tool for functional defecation disorder. However, clinical studies on HRAM used in constipation patients are very limited and few studies have reported the characteristics of anorectal pressure in Chinese patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of motility data in a cohort of Chinese patients with functional constipation. Methods A total of 82 consecutive patients with functional constipation who underwent a standardized HRAM were retrospectively enrolled in this study. The functional defecation disorder was classified into Rao’s types. Results The mean age of 82 patients was 51 years (range, 16–83 years). Indications for anorectal manometry were functional constipation for all patients. The mean resting pressure was 69.2 ± 21.2 mmHg (range, 24.5–126.9 mmHg). The mean maximum squeezing pressure was 198.4 ± 75.6 mmHg (range, 54.2–476.9 mmHg). The mean length of the anal high pressure zone was 3.4 ± 1.0 cm (range, 0.6–4.9 cm). Sixty (73.2%) patients were diagnosed as functional defecation disorder. In attempted defecation, type I was most common (n = 24), followed by type II (n = 12), type III (n = 11), and type IV (n = 13) that were present on HRAM according to Rao’s classification. In all 60 patients with functional defecation disorder, 37 were women and 23 were men. Men were significantly more likely than women to have functional defecation disorder (92.0% vs 64.9%, P = 0.014). Conclusion HRAM could be used as a test for the diagnosis of functional defecation disorder and functional defecation disorder is common in Chinese patients with functional constipation.

Yan Rui,Wang Kai,Tian Xiaodong,Li Xiao,Yang Tao,Xu Xiaotong,He Yiting,Lei Shiwen,Song Yan 한국탄소학회 2020 Carbon Letters Vol.30 No.3

Heteroatoms in situ-doped hierarchical porous hollow-activated carbons (HPHACs) have been prepared innovatively by pyrolyzation of setaria viridis combined with alkaline activation for the frst time. The micro-morphology, pore structure, chemical compositions, and electrochemical properties are researched in detail. The obtained HPHACs are served as outstand�ing electrode materials in electrochemical energy storage ascribe to the particular hierarchical porous and hollow structure, and the precursor setaria viridis is advantage of eco-friendly as well as cost-efective. Electrochemical measurement results of the HPHACs electrodes exhibit not only high specifc capacitance of 350 F g−1 at 0.2 A g−1, and impressive surface specifc capacitance (Cs) of 49.9 μF cm−2, but also substantial rate capability of 68% retention (238 F g−1 at 10 A g−1) and good cycle stability with 99% retention over 5000 cycles at 5 A g−1 in 6 M KOH. Besides, the symmetrical supercapacitor device based on the HPHACs electrodes exhibits excellent energy density of 49.5 Wh kg−1 at power density of 175 W kg−1 , but still maintains favorable energy density of 32.0 Wh kg−1 at current density of 1 A g−1 in 1-ethy-3-methylimidazolium tetrafuoroborate (EMIMBF4) ionic liquid electrolyte, and the excellent cycle stability behaviour shows the nearly 97% ratio capacitance retention of the initial capacitance after 10,000 cycles at current density of 2 A g−1. Overall, the results indicate that HPHACs derived from setaria viridis have appealing electrochemical performances thus are promising electrode materi�als for supercapacitor devices and large-scale applications.

Yan-Jin Huang,Monica Parry,Ying Zeng,Yan Luo,Jing Yang,Guo-Ping He 한국간호과학회 2017 Asian Nursing Research Vol.11 No.3

Purpose: Early detection and management of coronary heart disease (CHD) are embedded into many community health service and primary care practices in western countries. The Framingham CHD risk score has been used to predict CHD and mortality for nearly 20 years, and it has predicted CHD event risk accurately in multiethnic populations. The aim of this study was to access the effect of a 6-month community-based intervention on CHD risk in individuals at high risk. Methods: A randomized controlled trial of individuals with a high 10-year CHD risk were recruited from two communities in China. Individuals in the intervention group (n ¼ 53) received a 3-month group education and a 3-month coaching session. Physical examination and self-report questionnaires were used to collect both pre- and postintervention data on blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, body mass index, smoking, depression, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Results: A total of 102 participants (85.0%) completed the 6-month study. Compared with the usual care group, the intervention group had a 5 mmHg greater reduction in systolic blood pressure (t = 2.01, p = .047), larger declines in glucose (t = 2.49, p = .015), cholesterol (t = 2.44, p = .017), body mass index (t = 2.58, p = .011), and depression (t = 2.05, p = .043), and better reports of HRQoL (t = 3.36, p = .001). No significant group differences in smoking behaviors were reported. Conclusion: A 6-month community-based intervention in a CHD high-risk population improved diseaserelated risk factors, depression, and HRQoL. Results provide preliminary evidence for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease risk in a community high-risk population.

Yan He,Xiong Zhang,Tao Ji,Liangliang Shui 대한토목학회 2019 KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering Vol.23 No.12

Effect of carboxylic density on sulfate sensitivity of polycarboxylate superplasticizers (PCEs) was analyzed. PCEs with different carboxylic densities were synthesized by changing molar ratio of isopropyl oxy polyethylene glycol (TPEG) macro-monomer to acrylic acid. The compositions of the self-synthesized PCEs were tested by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR), and the molecular weight was tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Effects of sulfates on the adsorption-dispersing properties of PCEs and the surface charge of cement system in function of PCEs were investigated through total organic carbon (TOC) analyzer, mini-slump cone, and Zeta potential analyzer. Influence mechanisms of sulfates on the dispersing force of PCEs were evaluated through the competitive adsorption of sulfates, the aggregation of PCEs and the calcium ion concentration in pore solution. The results show that the competitive adsorption between PCE and SO42− impairs the dispersing capability of PCEs. In comparison with calcium sulfate, sodium sulfate has higher negative effects on the dispersing capability of PCEs. High amount of sulfate ions leads to the aggregation of PCEs, which further impairs the dispersing capability of PCEs. PCE with higher carboxylic density is less sensitive to the impact of sulfates.

Yan He,Wen Ma,Yufeng Li,Chuanpeng Hao,Yulin Wang,Yan Wang 한국정밀공학회 2023 International Journal of Precision Engineering and Vol.10 No.2

Accurate and quick detection has a significant bearing on overall productivity of remanufacture. 3D scanning technologies have been widely applied in defects detection by comparing the damaged model with the nominal model. In this process, a huge amount of point cloud data is required to ensure detection accuracy whereas resulting in large storage space and long processing time of detection. This paper proposed an efficient two-step method based on octree to detect defects accurately and quickly for remanufacturing. In this method, the damaged point cloud and the nominal point cloud are first registered. Then a two-step detection approach is developed to extract the surface defects, coarse detection and detailed extraction, where the octree method is applied to create an effective topology of discrete points and perform the Boolean operation for defects extraction. In coarse detection, rough location and size information of the defects are acquired from the whole point cloud data. Based on coarse detected boundary box containing defects, the detailed extraction step is applied to extract corresponding defects shape accurately. The feasibility of proposed method was validated by using a case to detect defects of a damaged turbine blade and the detection results can be used to generate restoration tool path. The results show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-art defects detection methods, which can reduce time by 74.03% and reduce error by 36.86%, respectively.

Analysis and characterization of the functional TGFβ receptors required for BMP6-induced osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor cells

( Yan Zhang ),( De Ying Zhang ),( Yan Fang Zhao ),( Jin Wang ),( Juan Wen He ),( Jin Yong Luo ) 생화학분자생물학회(구 한국생화학분자생물학회) 2013 BMB Reports Vol.46 No.2

Although BMP6 is highly capable of inducing osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs), the molecular mechanism involved remains to be fully elucidated. Using dominant negative (dn) mutant form of type I and type II TGFβ receptors, we demonstrated that three dn-type I receptors (dnALK2, dnALK3, dnALK6), and three dn-type II receptors (dnBMPRII, dnActRII, dnActRIIB), effectively diminished BMP6- induced osteogenic differentiation of MPCs. These findings suggested that ALK2, ALK3, ALK6, BMPRII, ActRII and ActRIIB are essential for BMP6-induced osteogenic differentiation of MPCs. However, MPCs in this study do not express ActRIIB. Moreover, RNA interference of ALK2, ALK3, ALK6, BMPRII and ActRII inhibited BMP6-induced osteogenic differentiation in MPCs. Our results strongly suggested that BMP6-induced osteogenic differentiation of MPCs is mediated by its functional TGFβ receptors including ALK2, ALK3, ALK6, BMPRII, and ActRII.
