Structural Stability and Electronic and Optical Properties of Coinage-Metal (4; 2) Alloy Nanotubes: A First-Principles Study

Xi-Zhi Wang,Liang-Cai Ma,Ling Ma,Xue-Ling Lin,Jian-Min Zhang 한국물리학회 2019 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.74 No.6

Using rst-principles calculations, we have systematically investigated the structural stability and the electronic and optical properties of bimetallic AgAu, CuAu, and CuAg (4; 2) alloy nanotubes (NTs). We found that the tip-suspended AgAu and CuAu alloy NTs were stable structures due to the existence of local minima in both the binding energies and the string tensions variation with their unit-cell lengths and that the stability was enhanced when the content of Au was increased. However, a tip-suspended CuAg alloy NT would be difficult to form in future experiments. We also found that both the relativistic effect of elemental gold and the string tension applied by the tip contacts play important roles in suppressing effectively the self-purication effect, leading to the formation of these coinage alloy NTs. The quantum conductance of the stable alloy NTs is increased by 1G0 as compared with that of the corresponding pure coinage-metal NTs.

Syzygium, a vital genus under Myrtaceae, is aesthetically pleasing and resistant and is used for urban greenery. However, with intensive research in recent years, an increasing number of Syzygium plants have been explored for their medicinal value. Analysing the Syzygium chloroplast (cp) genome can help assess its phylogenetic relationships and provide a theoretical basis for the development and application of Syzygium plants. In this study, we first sequenced the complete cp genomes of Syzygium grijsii and Syzygium rehderianum to investigate their phylogenetic relationships in Myrtaceae. In the copy region and reverse repeat region, 129 genes were detected, including 84 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Preference analysis showed that the eight Syzygium species preferred codons ending in A/U and contained abundant repetitive sequences and SSR sites. The ycf1, rpoC2, matK and ndhB genes had the most RNA editable sites and more genes with Ka/Ks < 1, indicating that species evolution was mainly subject to purifying selection. Comparative analysis of the cp genome showed that the eight species boundaries of Syzygium were similar, but the variability of the LSC and SSC regions was higher than that of the IR region, with 280 sites with Pi > 0.015, showing a high level of nucleotide diversity. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Syzygium grijsii was closely related to Syzygium jambos, and S. rehderianum was close to Plinia aureana. The cp genome and phylogeny of S. grijsii and S. rehderianum provide a theoretical basis for Syzygium species identification and exploitation.

Zhang, Xiu-Ling,Dang, Yi-Wu,Li, Ping,Rong, Min-Hua,Hou, Xin-Xi,Luo, Dian-Zhong,Chen, Gang Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2014 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.15 No.24

Background: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) has been reported to be associated with the development of various cancers. However, the role of TRAF6 in lung cancer remains unclear. Objective: To explore the expression and clinicopathological significance of TRAF6 protein in lung cancer tissues. Materials and Methods: Three hundred and sixty-five lung cancer samples and thirty normal lung tissues were constructed into 3 microarrays. The expression of TRAF6 protein was determined using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Furthermore, correlations between the expression of TRAF6 and clinicopathological parameters were investigated. Results: The expression of TRAF6 in total lung cancer tissues (365 cases), as well as in small cell lung cancer (SCLC, 26 cases) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC, 339 cases) was significantly higher compared with that in normal lung tissues. The ROC curve showed that the area under curve of TRAF6 was 0.663 (95%CI 0.570~0.756) for lung cancer. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of TRAF6 were 52.6% and 80%, respectively. In addition, the expression of TRAF6 was correlated with clinical TNM stage, tumor size and lymph node metastasis in all lung cancers. Consistent correlations were also observed for NSCLCs. Conclusions: TRAF6 might be an oncogene and the expression of TRAF6 protein is related to the progression of lung cancer. Thus, TRAF6 might become a target for diagnosis and gene therapy for lung cancer patients.

No Association between Traffic Density and Risk of Childhood Leukemia: a Meta-analysis

Sun, Xiao-Xi,Zhang, Shan-Shan,Ma, Xiao-Ling Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2014 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.15 No.13

Background: While many studies have concluded that local traffic density is positively associated with childhood leukemia, the results are inconsistent. We therefore performed a meta-analysis to assess the relationship between traffic density and the risk of childhood leukemia. Methods: A systematic literature review was carried out using PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library from January 1979 to December 2013. We selected and assessed journal articles evaluating the relationship between local traffic density and the risk of leukemia in children. The analysis was carried out using STATA version 12.0. Results: A total of 11 articles, including 12 estimates of effect, were included in our meta-analysis. The summary effect size from the random-effects model, expressed as an odds ratio, was 1.03 (95% CI: 0.98-1.09, p=0.002). No significant association between traffic density and the risk of childhood leukemia was found. Similar conclusions were found on subgroup analysis. Conclusions: The results of our meta-analysis suggested no association between traffic density and the risk of childhood leukemia. This implies that living in close proximity to roads with heavy traffic may not increase the risk of childhood leukemia. However, further high-quality prospective trials are needed to support these results.

Mingsheng Zhong,Xi Liu,Feng Liu,Yulong Ren,Yunlong Wang,Jianping Zhu,Xuan Teng,Erchao Duan,Fan Wang,Huan Zhang,Mingming Wu,Yuanyuan Hao,Xiaopin Zhu,Ruonan Jing,Xiuping Guo,Ling Jiang,Yihua Wang,Jianmi 한국식물학회 2019 Journal of Plant Biology Vol.62 No.1

Starch is a major storage substance in cerealgrains, and starch biosynthesis is a complex process. In orderto elucidate regulation of the starch biosynthesis pathway, wescreened a series of rice (Oryza sativa L.) endospermmutants. In this study, we identified a floury white-coreendosperm mutant named floury endosperm12 (flo12). Theflo12 mutant exhibited loosely packed starch granules and alower thousand kernel weight compared to wild type. Semithinsections revealed that compound starch grains (SG) inflo12 interior endosperm cells were developed abnormally. Furthermore, amylose content was decreased, while totalprotein content was significantly increased in flo12 grains. Map-based cloning showed that FLO12 encodes rice alanineaminotransferase 1 (OsAlaAT1). OsAlaAT1 is highly expressedin developing endosperm. Subcellular localization showedthat OsAlaAT1 is localized in the cytosol. Moreover, theexpression of most starch synthesis-related genes wasdecreased, while most of the storage protein coding geneshad elevated expression levels in the flo12 mutant. Inaddition, overexpression of the OsAlaAT1 gene increasedgrain weight. In brief, we demonstrated that OsAlaAT1regulates carbon and nitrogen metabolism, which provides anew insight for the improvement of rice quality and yield.

Selection and evaluation of reference genes for gene expression using quantitative real‐time PCR in Mythimna separata walker (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Bai‐Zhong Zhang,Jun-Jie LIU,Xi-Ling CHEN,Guo-Hui YUAN 한국곤충학회 2018 Entomological Research Vol.48 No.5

In order to precisely assess gene expression levels, the suitable internal reference genes must be served to quantify real‐time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT‐qPCR) data. For armyworm, Mythimna separata, which reference genes are suitable for assessing the level of transcriptional expression of target genes have yet to be explored. In this study, eight common reference genes, including β‐actin (β‐ACT), 18 s ribosomal (18S), 28S ribosomal (28S), glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate (GAPDH), elongation fator‐alpha (EF1α), TATA box binding protein (TBP), ribosomal protein L7 (RPL7), and alpha‐tubulin (α‐TUB) that in different developmental stages, tissues and insecticide treatments of M. separata were evaluated. To further explore whether these genes were suitable to serve as endogenous controls, three software‐based approaches (geNorm, BestKeeper, and NormFinder), the delta Ct method, and one web‐based comprehensive tool (RefFinder) were employed to analyze and rank the tested genes. The optimal number of reference genes was determined using the geNorm program, and the suitability of particular reference genes was empirically validated according to normalized HSP70, and MsepCYP321A10 gene expression data. We found that the most suitable reference genes for the different experimental conditions. For developmental stages, 28S/RPL7 were the optimal reference genes, both RPL7/EF1α were suitable for experiments of different tissues, whereas for insecticide treatments, 28S/α‐TUB were suitable for normalizations of expression data. In addition, 28S/α‐TUB were the suitable reference genes because they have the most stable expression among different developmental stages, tissues and insecticide treatments. Our work is the first report on reference gene selection in M. separata, and might serve as a precedent for future gene expression studies.
