Background： Small hepatic lesions （less than 2 cm in diameter） usually have no typical imaging characteristics and therefore are difficult to diagnose, especially when AFP tests provide a negative result. Methods： A total of 103 patients with AFP-negative small hepatic lesions from January 2003 to December 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. Differential diagnosis was performed by digital subtraction angiography （DSA）, dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging （DCE-MRI）, contrast-enhanced ultrasound （CEUS）, or positron emission tomography-computed tomography （PET-CT） based on the multiplicity of lesions. Ninety-four patients with suspected cancers underwent partial hepatectomy. Clinical data were collected from hospital records and follow-up questionnaires. Results： Hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） diagnostic sensitivity of DSA, DCE-MRI, CEUS and PET-CT was 88.2%, 93.9%, 88.9% and 88.9%, respectively. The surgery-related complication rate was 6.4%. Prognosis was good, with 1- and 3-year survival rates of 98.8% and 76.1%, respectively. Conclusions： DSA, DCE-MRI, CEUS and PET-CT are valuable for diagnosis of small hepatic lesions. Partial hepatectomy is a preferred surgical procedure. Surgery for small liver cancers usually has little risk and good prognosis, therefore it can be actively applied in suspected HCC cases.展开更多

After a simple annealing treatment, Co_3O_4 nanoparticles in-situ decorating on nitrogen doped graphite carbon-sheet(Co_3O_4/NC) were obtained. The resultant Co_3O_4/NC hybrid with unique flower-like structure and ration combination of Co_3O_4 nanoparticles and nitrogen doped graphite carbon, endowing the hybrid with enhanced electrical conductivity,short ion diffusion pathways and rich porosity to the materials, which can largely alleviate the problems of Co_3O_4 such as inferior intrinsic electrical conductivity, sluggish ion kinetics and large volume change upon cycling. When evaluated as anode material for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs), the Co_3O_4/NC hybrid exhibits satisfied reversible capacity(213.9 mAh g^(-1) after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g^(-1) ), excellent rate capability(145.4 m Ah g^(-1) at 2 A g^(-1) and 130.1 mAh g^(-1) at 4 A g^(-1) ) and robust long-term cycling stability(120.1 m Ah g^(-1) after 2000 cycles at 0.5 A g^(-1) ), showing great potential for high-performance SIBs.展开更多

Our calculations show that both the neutral S_3 and anion S_3^- have open forms with C_(2r) vsymmetry. On the basis of the stable geometries, the adiabatic electron affinity of S_3 is determined to be 19041(11) cm^(-1), which is in excellent agreement with the experimental data(19059(7) cm^(-1)). The dependence of geometries and electron affinity on the computation level and physical corrections is discussed. The present computational results are helpful to the experimental molecular spectroscopy and bonding of S_3.展开更多

It was demonstrated that the initial mi- crostructures resulted from austenization at different temperatures strongly affect the microstructure evolution during followed ART-annealing, even the ultrafine grained ferrite/austenite duplex structure with about 30% austenite could be obtained af- ter long time ART-annealing in all cases. Austenization in the intercritical region （between Ad and At3） gave a duplex structure after quenching, which was nearly not affected by followed annealing process. However, high temperature austenization （above A^3） resulted in a full martensite structure after quenching, which gradually transformed into a ferrite/austenite duplex structure during the following anneal- ing process. Based on the analysis of austenite fraction and carbon concentrate, it was found that not only carbon partitioning but also manganese paxtitioning in the austenite affected the stability of austenite and even dominated the development of lamellar ferrite and austenite duplex structure during intercritical annealing with different times. At last an austenite lath nucleation and thickening model was pro- posed to describe the microstructure evolution of medium mangenese steel during ART-annealing.展开更多

文摘Objective： We examined 103 cases over the last five years and discussed diagnosis and treatment of alpha- fetoprotein （AFP）-negative small hepatic lesions. Background： Small hepatic lesions （less than 2 cm in diameter） usually have no typical imaging characteristics and therefore are difficult to diagnose, especially when AFP tests provide a negative result. Methods： A total of 103 patients with AFP-negative small hepatic lesions from January 2003 to December 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. Differential diagnosis was performed by digital subtraction angiography （DSA）, dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging （DCE-MRI）, contrast-enhanced ultrasound （CEUS）, or positron emission tomography-computed tomography （PET-CT） based on the multiplicity of lesions. Ninety-four patients with suspected cancers underwent partial hepatectomy. Clinical data were collected from hospital records and follow-up questionnaires. Results： Hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） diagnostic sensitivity of DSA, DCE-MRI, CEUS and PET-CT was 88.2%, 93.9%, 88.9% and 88.9%, respectively. The surgery-related complication rate was 6.4%. Prognosis was good, with 1- and 3-year survival rates of 98.8% and 76.1%, respectively. Conclusions： DSA, DCE-MRI, CEUS and PET-CT are valuable for diagnosis of small hepatic lesions. Partial hepatectomy is a preferred surgical procedure. Surgery for small liver cancers usually has little risk and good prognosis, therefore it can be actively applied in suspected HCC cases.

文摘Anthocyanin biosynthesis and sugar metabolism are important processes during plant growth,but the molecular interactions underlying these pathways are still unclear.In this work,we analyzed the anthocyanin and soluble sugar contents,as well as the transcript levels of transcription factors that are known to be related to the biosynthesis of anthocyanin in‘Hongcui 1’apple flesh during fruit development.Overexpression of MdMYB6 in red-fleshed calli was found to reduce anthocyanin content and result in downregulated expression of the MdANS and MdGSTF12 proteins.Yeast one-hybrid and electrophoretic mobility shift analyses showed that MdMYB6 could directly bind to the promoters of MdANS and MdGSTF12,indicating that MdMYB6 could inhibit anthocyanin biosynthesis by regulating MdANS and MdGSTF12.Overexpression of MdTMT1 in the Arabidopsis tmt1 mutant restored the glucose and fructose contents to the wild-type levels,while overexpression of MdTMT1 in red-fleshed calli increased the contents of glucose and fructose but reduced the contents of UDP-glucose,UDP-galactose,and anthocyanin.Using a GUS reporter system,yeast one-hybrid,chromatin immunoprecipitation-PCR and electrophoretic mobility shift analyses,we found that MdMYB6 could bind to the promoter of MdTMT1,resulting in increased promoter activity.Overexpression of MdMYB6 in calli overexpressing MdTMT1 increased the expression of MdTMT1,which led to reduced contents of UDP-glucose and UDP-galactose and decreased anthocyanin content compared to those of the calli that overexpressed MdTMT1.This finding suggested that MdMYB6 could also inhibit anthocyanin biosynthesis by regulating MdTMT1 to decrease the contents of UDP-glucose and UDP-galactose.Taken together,these results showed that MdMYB6 and MdTMT1 play key roles in both anthocyanin biosynthesis and sugar transport.

文摘Fruit lignification is due to lignin deposition in the cell wall during cell development.However,there are few studies on the regulation of cell wall lignification and lignin biosynthesis during fruit pigmentation.In this study,we investigated the regulation of cell wall lignification and lignin biosynthesis during pigmentation of winter jujube.The cellulose content decreased,while the lignin content increased in the winter jujube pericarp during pigmentation.Safranin O-fast green staining showed that the cellulose content was higher in the cell wall of winter jujube prior to pigmentation,whereas the lignin in the cell wall increased after pigmentation.The thickness of the epidermal cells decreased with pericarp pigmentation.A combined metabolomics and transcriptomics analysis showed that guaiacyl-syringyl(G-S)lignin was the main lignin type in the pericarp of winter jujube,and F5H(LOC107424406)and CCR(LOC107420974)were preliminarily identified as the key genes modulating lignin biosynthesis in winter jujube.Seventeen MYB and six NAC transcription factors(TFs)with potential regulation of lignin biosynthesis were screened out based on phylogenetic analysis.Three MYB and two NAC TFs were selected as candidate genes and further studied in detail.Arabidopsis ectopic expression and winter jujube pericarp injection of the candidate genes indicated that the MYB activator(LOC107425254)and the MYB repressor(LOC107415078)control lignin biosynthesis by regulating CCR and F5H,while the NAC(LOC107435239)TF promotes F5H expression and positively regulates lignin biosynthesis.These findings revealed the lignin biosynthetic pathway and associated genes during pigmentation of winter jujube pericarp and provide a basis for further research on lignin regulation.

文摘In this work, a novel flower-like cobalt-based metal organic frameworks(MOFs) self-assembled by Co^(2+) and nicotinic acid have been designed and synthesized. After a simple annealing treatment, Co_3O_4 nanoparticles in-situ decorating on nitrogen doped graphite carbon-sheet(Co_3O_4/NC) were obtained. The resultant Co_3O_4/NC hybrid with unique flower-like structure and ration combination of Co_3O_4 nanoparticles and nitrogen doped graphite carbon, endowing the hybrid with enhanced electrical conductivity,short ion diffusion pathways and rich porosity to the materials, which can largely alleviate the problems of Co_3O_4 such as inferior intrinsic electrical conductivity, sluggish ion kinetics and large volume change upon cycling. When evaluated as anode material for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs), the Co_3O_4/NC hybrid exhibits satisfied reversible capacity(213.9 mAh g^(-1) after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g^(-1) ), excellent rate capability(145.4 m Ah g^(-1) at 2 A g^(-1) and 130.1 mAh g^(-1) at 4 A g^(-1) ) and robust long-term cycling stability(120.1 m Ah g^(-1) after 2000 cycles at 0.5 A g^(-1) ), showing great potential for high-performance SIBs.

文摘Red walnut has broad market prospects because it is richer in anthocyanins than ordinary walnut.However,the mechanism driving anthocyanin biosynthesis in red walnut is still unknown.We studied two types of red walnut,called red walnut 1(R1),with a red pericarp and seed coat,and red walnut 2(R2),with a red seed coat only.R1 mostly contained cyanidin-3-O-galactoside,while R2 contained a various amounts of cyanidin-3-Ogalactoside,cyanidin-3-O-arabinoside,and cyanidin-3-O-glucoside.The LDOX-2(LOC109007163)and LDOX-3(LOC109010746)genes,which encode leucoanthocyanidin dioxygenase/anthocyanidin synthase(LDOX/ANS),were preliminarily indicated as the crucial genes for anthocyanin biosynthesis in R1 and R2,respectively.The MYB differential genes analysis showed that MYB27 and MYB113 are specifically expressed in the red parts of R1 and R2,respectively,and they are regarded as candidate regulatory genes.Ectopic expression in Arabidopsis and transient injection in walnut showed that both MYB27 and MYB113 were located in the nucleus and promoted anthocyanin accumulation,while MYB27 promoted the expression of LDOX-2,and MYB113 promoted the expression of LDOX-3and UAGT-3.Yeast one-hybrid and electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed that MYB27 could only bind to the LDOX-2 promoter,while MYB113 could bind to the promoters of both LDOX-3 and UAGT-3.In addition,we also identified an HD-Zip transcription factor,ATHB-12,which is specifically expressed in the pericarp.After silencing the expression of ATHB-12,the R2 pericarp turned red,and MYB113 expression increased.Further experiments showed that ATHB-12 could specifically interact with MYB113 and bind to its promoter.This suggests that MYB27controls R1 coloration by regulating LDOX-2,while MYB113 controls R2 coloration by regulating LDOX-3 and UAGT-3,but ATHB-12 can specifically bind to and inhibit the MYB113 of the R2 pericarp so that it becomes unpigmented.This study reveals the anthocyanin biosynthetic mechanisms in two different types of red walnut and provides a scientific basis for the selection and breeding of red walnut varieties.

文摘The accurate equilibrium structures of S_3 and S_3^- are determined by the coupled-cluster method with single, double excitation and perturbative triple excitation(CCSD(T)) with basis sets of aug-cc-pV(n+d)Z(n = T, Q, 5, or 6), complete basis set extrapolation functions with two-parameters and three-parameters, together with considering the contributions due to the core-valence electron correlation, scalar relativistic effects, spin–orbit coupling, and zero-point vibrational corrections. Our calculations show that both the neutral S_3 and anion S_3^- have open forms with C_(2r) vsymmetry. On the basis of the stable geometries, the adiabatic electron affinity of S_3 is determined to be 19041(11) cm^(-1), which is in excellent agreement with the experimental data(19059(7) cm^(-1)). The dependence of geometries and electron affinity on the computation level and physical corrections is discussed. The present computational results are helpful to the experimental molecular spectroscopy and bonding of S_3.

文摘Microstructure evolution during ART-annealing （austenite reverted transformation annealing） of 0.2C-5Mn steel processed by austenitation at different temperatures was examined by SEM, TEM and XRD. It was demonstrated that the initial mi- crostructures resulted from austenization at different temperatures strongly affect the microstructure evolution during followed ART-annealing, even the ultrafine grained ferrite/austenite duplex structure with about 30% austenite could be obtained af- ter long time ART-annealing in all cases. Austenization in the intercritical region （between Ad and At3） gave a duplex structure after quenching, which was nearly not affected by followed annealing process. However, high temperature austenization （above A^3） resulted in a full martensite structure after quenching, which gradually transformed into a ferrite/austenite duplex structure during the following anneal- ing process. Based on the analysis of austenite fraction and carbon concentrate, it was found that not only carbon partitioning but also manganese paxtitioning in the austenite affected the stability of austenite and even dominated the development of lamellar ferrite and austenite duplex structure during intercritical annealing with different times. At last an austenite lath nucleation and thickening model was pro- posed to describe the microstructure evolution of medium mangenese steel during ART-annealing.

文摘By using Fubini theorem or Tonelli theorem, we find that the zeta function value at 2 is equal to a special integral. Furthermore, we find that this special integral is two times of another special integral. By using this fact we give an easy way to calculate the value of the alternating sum of without using the Fourier expansion. Also, we discuss the relationship between Genocchi numbers and Bernoulli numbers and get some results about Bernoulli polynomials.

文摘We experimentally investigate the vibrational state distribution of the cations after carbon monoxide(CO)molecules are irradiated by strong laser fields.Vibrational-resolved fluorescent spectrum is observed,which can be well assigned as the A^(2)Π(υ′=0-3)→X^(2)Σ+(υ″=0-3)transitions of the cations CO+,indicating the strong field ionization of the inner molecular orbital of CO.Relative distribution of vibrational states A^(2)Π(υ′=0-3)of CO+is retrieved from the measured spectrum and the Franck-Condon factors.It is found that the vibrational state distribution in strong field ionization of CO apparently deviates from the Franck-Condon-like distribution,but is in good agreement with the calculations,in which we include both the ionization rate and the overlapping between the vibrational wavefunctions of the neutral and cationic electronic states.The distribution of CO+(A^(2)Π,υ′)strongly depends on the laser intensity but is less dependent on the laser ellipticity.Analysis indicates the inter-nuclear distance-dependent ionization plays a significant role in the vibrational state distribution induced by strong field ionization of CO molecules.
