Amines play critical roles in chemical, agrochemical and pharmaceutical industries. However, volatile amine vapours cause widespread pollution and threaten human health. An efficient, highly sensitive and recyclable sensor for monitoring amine vapours is highly demanded. Typically, 2-(2-hydroxy-5-methyl) benzothiazole (HBT) derivates exhibit excellent aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomena in keto form originated from a unique excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process. In this ...

In more recent years, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been investigated as a new class of regulators of cellular processes, such as cell growth, apoptosis, and carcinogenesis. Although lncRNAs are dysregulated in numerous cancer types, limited data are available on the expression profile and functional role of lncRNAs in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the present study, we determined the expression pattern of the growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (GAS5) in 72 NSCLC specimens by qRT-PCR ...

A human bitter taste receptor, hT2R4, was efficiently expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli), which was used as the primary recognition element. A simple and low-cost electrochemical device based on ITO-based electrolyte-semiconductor (ES) structure was innovatively employed as the transducer to assess bacterial metabolic consequences of receptor activation in real time. An apparent increase ...

Abstract Electrically driven molecular light emitters are considered to be one of the promising candidates as single-photon sources. However, it is yet to be demonstrated that electrically driven single-photon emission can indeed be generated from an isolated single molecule notwithstanding fluorescence quenching and technical challenges. Here, we report such electrically driven single-photon emission from a well-defined single molecule located inside a precisely controlled nanocavity in a scanning ...

Summary Photoperiod‐mediated flowering determines the phenological adaptability of crops including soybean ( Glycine max ). A genome‐wide association study (GWAS) identified a new flowering time locus, Time of flowering 13 ( Tof13 ), which defined a gene encoding an AP2/ERF transcription factor. This new transcription factor, which we named TOE4b, is localized in the nucleus. TOE4b has been selected for soybean latitude adaptability. The existing natural variant TOE4b H4 was rare in wild soybean accessions ...

We previously demonstrated that AIB1 overexpression is an independent molecular marker for shortened survival of bladder cancer (BC) patients. In this study, we characterised the role and molecular mechanisms of AIB1 in BC tumorigenicity. AIB1 expression was measured by immunohistochemistry in non-muscle-invasive BC tissue and adjacent normal bladder tissue. In addition, the tumorigenicity of AIB1 was assessed with in vitro and in vivo functional assays. Overexpression of AIB1 was observed in tissues ...

A matched nested case-control study of 33 paired cases and controls was conducted, based on a study cohort in Long An county, Guangxi, China, to determine whether infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) with pre-S deletions is independently associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), without the confounding effects of basal core promoter (BCP) double mutations. The prevalence of pre-S deletions was significantly higher in HCC (45.5 %, 15 of 33) than the controls (18.2 %, 6 of 33) (P 0. ...

The development of material models for concrete subject to intense dynamic loadings, e.g., impact, penetration and blast loadings, is a topic of current research. A high-fidelity physics-based concrete material model should not only capture the high strain-rate, high pressure and large strain generated by intense dynamic loadings, but also the typical failure phenomena of concrete material, e.g., spalling and cracking. This paper presents a new concrete material model, which includes the advantages ...

Allergen genes of the peanut and soybean were selected as model targets. Four hairpin DNA probes, H1, H2, H3, H4 were designed. Cy3-labeled H1 and H2 were used to detect peanut DNA, while FAM-labeled H3 and H4 were used to detect soybean DNA. Graphene oxide (GO) was used as the adsorption material for capturing the hairpin probes, and as a selective fluorescence quencher to reduce the background signal. To develop an allergen gene detection system with a GO-based paper chip format, we integrated ...

The efficiency of PS decomposition by CFTS, and the mechanism of contaminant degradation by SO4− were investigated. The results revealed that CFTS catalyzes PS decomposition more efficiently than the monometallic Cu/Fe/Sn sulfides and exhibits activity over a wide pH range.

A high-fidelity physical-based numerical simulation should not only predict the ballistic parameters, but these failures, where an accurate material model and an appropriate algorithm are crucial. To this end, the Kong-Fang concrete material model recently proposed (Kong et al., 2018) is firstly modified. Modifications are made to ...

OBJECTIVES Surveillance of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can detect small tumors for resection but at a huge cost of health resources. The challenge is to reduce the surveillance population. We reported that 96% of HCC patients but only 24% of controls were infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) with A1762T, G1764A mutations in Guangxi, China. It is likely to be extremely beneficial in terms of cost and resources if a significant number of tumors can be detected early by screening this selected ...

Recently, a complex (X/C) hepatitis B virus (HBV) recombinant, first reported in 2000, was proposed as a new genotype; although this was refuted immediately because the strains differ by less than 8 % in nucleotide distance from genotype C. Over 13.5 % (38/281) of HBV isolates from the Long An cohort in China were not assigned to a specific genotype, using current genotyping tools to analyse surface ORF sequences, and these have about 98 % similarity to the X/C recombinants. To determine whether this close ...

Abstract The biochemical response to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in primary biliary cirrhosis is a strong predictor of long-term outcome and thus facilitates the rapid identification of patients needing new therapeutic approaches. Numerous criteria for predicting outcome of treatment have been studied based on biochemical response to UDCA at 1 year. We sought to determine whether an earlier biochemical response at 3 or 6 months could as efficiently identify patients at risk of poor outcome, as defined ...
