Ding-Ni Zhang,Qian-Qian Shangguan,Fu Liu,Ming-Yi Zhang 대한금속·재료학회 2015 METALS AND MATERIALS International Vol.21 No.4

Site preference of alloying elements in DO22-Ni3V phase was investigated using phase-field and first-principles method. The concentrations of alloying elements on sublattices of DO22-Ni3V phase were quantitatively studied using phase-field model based on microscopic diffusion equations. The phase-field computation results demonstrate that the concentration differences of alloying elements on the NiI and NiII site are attributed to the coordination environment difference. Host atoms Ni and substitutional ternary additions Al prefer to occupy NiI site. Antisite atoms V show site preference on the NiII site. Further reason of site preference of alloying elements on the two different Ni sites were studied using first-principles method to calculate the electronic structure of DO22-Ni3V phase. Calculation of density of states, orbitals population and charge population of the optimized Ni3V structure found that the electronic structures of NiI and NiII sites are different. Electronic structure difference, which is caused by coordination environment difference, is the essential reason for site selectivity behaviors of alloying elements on NiI and NiII sites.

Liu, Shude,Ni, Dixing,Li, Hai-Feng,Hui, Kwun Nam,Ouyang, Chu-Ying,Jun, Seong Chan The Royal Society of Chemistry 2018 Journal of Materials Chemistry A Vol.6 No.23

<P>Cation substitution is a promising strategy for modulating the structural properties and optimizing the electrochemical performance of spinel cobalt oxide (Co3O4); however, the underlying mechanism of this action induced by different cation substitutions has not yet been clearly addressed. Herein, a systematic investigation is performed to elucidate the effect of cation substitution on the pseudocapacitive performance of spinel cobaltite (MCo2O4; M = Mn, Ni, Cu, and Co) mesoporous nanowires grown on nickel foam (NF). Theoretical and experimental analyses reveal that the substitution of Co by transition metals (<I>i.e.</I>, Mn, Ni, and Cu) in the lattice of Co3O4 can simultaneously improve charge transfer and ion diffusion, thereby exhibiting enhanced electrochemical properties. Herein, as a representative example, MnCo2O4 achieves a high specific capacitance of 2146 F g<SUP>−1</SUP> at a current density of 1 A g<SUP>−1</SUP>, while 92.1% of its initial capacitance is retained after 5000 cycles. An asymmetric supercapacitor with MnCo2O4 as the positive material and activated carbon (AC) as the negative material delivers a high energy density of 56.1 W h kg<SUP>−1</SUP> at a power density of 800 W kg<SUP>−1</SUP>, and a favorable energy density of 29.3 W h kg<SUP>−1</SUP> at a power density as high as 8000 W kg<SUP>−1</SUP>.</P>

Wenlu Guo,Xiangguo Meng,Yan Liu,Liang Ni,Zhaoyong Hu,Rui Chen,Minjia Meng,Yun Wang,Juan Han,Min Luo 한국공업화학회 2015 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.21 No.1

The new 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) modified magnetic mesoporous carbon (8-HQ-Ni-CMK-3) wasprepared and applied for adsorption of multivariate metal ions from aqueous solution. The preparedadsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, scanning electronmicroscopy, transmission electron microscope, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm, elementalanalysis, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The static adsorption behaviors toward multivariatemetal ions on graphite, the modified graphite by 8-HQ, magnetic mesoporous carbon, and 8-HQ-Ni-CMK-3 were compared, which showed that 8-HQ-Ni-CMK-3 had excellent adsorption capacity. Theremoval of multivariate metal ions using 8-HQ-Ni-CMK-3 by fixed-bed column was further investigated.

Ni Liu,Wei Wang,Ling Xu,Huan Jiao 한양대학교 세라믹연구소 2014 Journal of Ceramic Processing Research Vol.15 No.3

Yb3+/Er3+ co-doped monoclinic AgGdW2O8 phosphors with intense green emission via up-conversion process were prepared by the high-temperature solid-state method. The samples were structurally characterized using X-ray powder diffraction, after which their luminescent properties were characterized via up-conversion spectroscopy. Green and red emissions centered at 525, 550, and 656 nm were observed when the phosphors were excited at 980 nm, these emissions are ascribed to 2 H11/2, 4 S3/2 → 4 I15/2 (green emission) and 4 F9/2 → 4 I15/2 (red emission) transitions of Er3+, respectively. It was also found that the green and red emissions originated from the two-photon process. By increasing sintering temperature and doping of Mo6+, the structure of monoclinic AgGdW2O8 transformed to a tetragonal one, which resulted a dramatic increase in UC intensity.

Lentivirus-mediated Silencing of Rhomboid Domain Containing 1 Suppresses Tumor Growth and Induces Apoptosis in Hepatoma HepG2 Cells

Liu, Xue-Ni,Tang, Zheng-Hao,Zhang, Yi,Pan, Qing-Chun,Chen, Xiao-Hua,Yu, Yong-Sheng,Zang, Guo-Qing Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2013 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.14 No.1

Rhomboids were identified as the first intramembrane serine proteases about 10 years ago. Since then, the study of the rhomboid protease family has blossomed. Rhomboid domain containing 1 (RHBDD1), highly-expressed in human testis, contains a rhomboid domain with unknown function. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that RHBDD1 was associated with proliferation and apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma using recombinant lentivirus-mediated silencing of RHBDD1 in HepG2 cells. Our results showed that down-regulation of RHBDD1 mRNA levels markedly suppressed proliferation and colony formation capacity of HepG2 human hepatoma cancer cells in vitro, and induced cell cycle arrest. We also found that RHBDD1 silencing could obviously trigger HepG2 cell apoptosis. In summary, it was demonstrated that RHBDD1 might be a positive regulator for proliferative and apoptotic characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common form of dementia, and impaired mitophagy is a hallmark of AD. Mitophagy is mitochondrial-specific autophagy. Ginsenosides from Ginseng involve in autophagy in cancer. Ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1 hereafter), a single compound of Ginseng, has neuroprotective effects on AD. However, few studies have reported whether Rg1 can ameliorate AD pathology by regulating mitophagy. Methods: Human SH-SY5Y cell and a 5XFAD mouse model were used to investigate the effects of Rg1. Rg1 (1µM) was added to β-amyloid oligomer (AβO)-induced or APPswe-overexpressed cell models for 24 hours. 5XFAD mouse models were intraperitoneally injected with Rg1 (10 mg/kg/d) for 30 days. Expression levels of mitophagy-related markers were analyzed by western blot and immunofluorescent staining. Cognitive function was assessed by Morris water maze. Mitophagic events were observed using transmission electron microscopy, western blot, and immunofluorescent staining from mouse hippocampus. The activation of the PINK1/Parkin pathway was examined using an immunoprecipitation assay. Results: Rg1 could restore mitophagy and ameliorate memory deficits in the AD cellular and/or mouse model through the PINK1-Parkin pathway. Moreover, Rg1 might induce microglial phagocytosis to reduce β-amyloid (Aβ) deposits in the hippocampus of AD mice. Conclusion: Our studies demonstrate the neuroprotective mechanism of ginsenoside Rg1 in AD models. Rg1 induces PINK-Parkin mediated mitophagy and ameliorates memory deficits in 5XFAD mouse models.

Guangming Ni,Lin Liu,Jing Zhang,Juanxiu Liu,Xiangzhou Wang,Xiaohui Du,Huimin Yue,Yong Liu 한국정밀공학회 2020 International Journal of Precision Engineering and Vol.21 No.2

Bump offsets have harmful effects on the quality of flex-on-glass (FOG) bonding in liquid crystal display (LCD) module industry. Here we report a novel automatic optical inspection (AOI) method to achieve fast inspecting FOG bonding bump offsets. Overcoming difficulties to image targets at different depths in light absorption medium when using ultra-short-exposure and high-speed imaging, the proposed method innovatively achieves inspecting FOG bonding bump offsets using differential interference contrast imaging based on spatial Poisson point process approximation. Theoretical analysis proves that the proposed method has high reliability in FOG bonding bump offset AOI inspection. Experimental results show missed detection rate of the inspection algorithm is 0.01%, and false rate is 0.1%, and verify the accuracy and validity of the proposed method, all of which are significant for guiding practice in LCD module industry.

Identification and characterization of scirr1, a novel geneup-regulated after spinal cord injury

Tao Liu,Zhenlian Ma,Haiping Que,Xin Li,Yanli Ni,Shuqian Jing,Shaojun Liu 생화학분자생물학회 2007 Experimental and molecular medicine Vol.39 No.3

Spinal cord injury and regeneration involves trans-criptional activity of many genes, of which many remain unknown. Using the rat spinal cord full- transection model, bioinformatics, cloning, expres-sion assays, fusion proteins, and transfection techniques, we identified and characterized one such differentially expressed gene, termed scirr1 (spinal cord injury and/or regeneration related gene 1). Fourteen orthologs were found in 13 species from echinoderm to insect and human by Blast search of NCBI protein reference sequence database. However, no further information is available for these homo-logues. Using whole-mount in situ hybridization, mouse scirr1 mRNA was expressed temporally and spatially in accordance with the early development sequence of the central nervous system. In adult rat spinal cord, expression of scirr1 mRNA was localized to neurons of gray matter by in situ hybridization. Using immunohistochemistry, SCIRR1 protein was found to be up-regulated and expressed more highly in spinal cord neurons farther from the epicenter of injury. Although the precise function of SCIRR1 is unknown, its unique pattern of expression during CNS early development and up-regulation after spinal cord injury sugges t that SCIRR1 should be involved in the succeeding injury and/or repair processes of the injured spinal cord. Also, the typical F-box and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) architecture of substrate recruiting role in the pleiotropic ubiquitin/ proteasome pathway. All these make scirr1 a new interesting start to study the spinal cord injury and regeneration mechanism.
