文摘Objectives:Pancreatic cancer(PC)is characterized by poor prognosis due to its limited treatment choices and delayed detection.S100A14 has been implicated in tumor progression,yet its regulatory hierarchy and functional interplay in PC remain unclear.This study aimed to define the role of S100A14 in PC progression.Methods:Integrated bioinformatic analyses of TCGA-PAAD and GSE22780 datasets identified candidate hub genes.Prognostic relevance was assessed via Kaplan-Meier and ROC analyses.Functional experiments were performed in PANC-1 and BxPC-3 cells,including qRT-PCR,CCK-8 assay,Western blotting,Transwell assay,and apoptosis assay.Co-immunoprecipitation(Co-IP)was used to verify S100A14-S100A16 interaction.CHX chase and dual-luciferase assays were employed to assess protein stability and transcriptional activity.Results:S100A14 was markedly upregulated in PC tissues and cell lines and identified as a key prognostic gene.Silencing S100A14 suppressed EMT,proliferation,invasion,and migration,while reversing S100A16-mediated p53 inhibition and enhancing apoptosis.Mechanistically,Co-IP assay confirmed the protein interaction between S100A14 and S100A16;S100A14 stabilized S100A16 protein through post-translational modification without transcriptional regulation;the S100A14/S100A16 axis reduced p53 protein stability and inhibited its transcriptional activity as well as the downstream p21 expression.Critically,knockdown of S100A14 abrogated the pro-metastatic phenotype of cancer cells.Conclusion:This study identifies S100A14 promotes PC progression by stabilizing S100A16 and suppressing the tumor-suppressive p53/p21 pathway;knockdown of S100A14 can reverse the above effects,restore p53 function,and enhance cancer cell apoptosis.Targeting the S100A14/S100A16/p53 regulatory axis could represent a promising therapeutic approach for PC.

文摘The available heat content (stored heat energy) of hot dry rock (HDR) at a depth of 1–10 km in the global land crust is estimated to be 5.06×10~8 EJ,attracting considerable global attention.This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the geological framework,HDR resource potential,exploration advancements,and the development of enhanced geothermal systems (EGSs) in China.HDR resources are extensively distributed across China.Within the depth range of 3–10 km,China’s estimated potential approximates2.29×10~7 EJ,with a theoretical power generation capacity of approximately 1.67×10^(16) k Wh.Replacing coal power with HDR can help to achieve a net emission reduction of 1.34×10^(16) kg CO_(2) (approximately1.34×10^(13) t),representing an emission reduction efficiency of 94.4%.Based on a development cycle of100 years,the average annual emission reduction reaches 1.34×10^(10) t CO_(2),equivalent to 117%of China’s annual carbon emissions in 2022.Furthermore,in the context of global warming,the development and utilization of HDR,which is feasible in virtually any region worldwide,offers significant potential to support global carbon reduction efforts.China has made substantial progress in HDR exploration in recent years.This paper systematically classifies China’s HDR resources into four genetic types—highly radioactive heat-producing,sedimentary basin,active volcanic,and intensely tectonic zones—and offers detailed exploration insights for each category.Each classification exhibits distinct geological and tectonic characteristics that influence heat source mechanisms and resource distribution.Furthermore,this paper documents significant advances in EGS construction,particularly in the Gonghe Basin on the northeastern margin of the Qianghai-Xizang Plateau and the Matouying uplift in the North China Basin,where successful reservoir stimulation,microseismic monitoring,and experimental power generation have been achieved.Despite these developments,challenges persist,including technical adaptability under complex geological conditions and the economic viability of large-scale HDR development.This paper suggests that future initiatives should emphasize resource exploration,technological research,and policy support to foster sustainable HDR resource development in China,thereby contributing to the global energy transition and environmental sustainability.

文摘Accelerated life tests play a vital role in reliability analysis,especially as advanced technologies lead to the production of highly reliable products to meet market demands and competition.Among these tests,progressive-stress accelerated life tests(PSALT)allow for continuous changes in applied stress.Additionally,the generalized progressive hybrid censoring(GPHC)scheme has attracted significant attention in reliability and survival analysis,particularly for handling censored data in accelerated testing.It has been applied to various failure models,including competing risks and step-stress models.However,despite its growing relevance,a notable gap remains in the literature regarding the application of GPHC in PSALT models.This paper addresses that gap by studying PSALT under a GPHC scheme with binomial removal.Specifically,it considers lifetimes following the quasi-Xgamma distribution.Model parameters are estimated using both maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods under gamma priors.Interval estimation is provided through approximate confidence intervals,bootstrap methods,and Bayesian credible intervals.Bayesian estimators are derived under squared error and entropy loss functions,using informative priors in simulation and non-informative priors in real data applications.A simulation study is conducted to evaluate various censoring schemes,with coverage probabilities and interval widths assessed via Monte Carlo simulations.Additionally,Bayesian predictive estimates and intervals are presented.The proposed methodology is illustrated through the analysis of two real-world accelerated life test datasets.

文摘The microstructural evolution of a cold-rolled and intercritical annealed medium-Mn steel(Fe-0.10C-5Mn)was investigated during uniaxial tensile testing.In-situ observations under scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,and X-ray diffraction analysis were conducted to characterize the progressive transformation-induced plasticity process and associated fracture initiation mechanisms.These findings were discussed with the local strain measurements via digital image correlation.The results indicated that Lüders band formation in the steel was limited to 1.5%strain,which was mainly due to the early-stage martensitic phase transformation of a very small amount of the less stable large-sized retained austenite(RA),which led to localized stress concentrations and strain hardening and further retardation of yielding.The small-sized RA exhibited high stability and progressively transformed into martensite and contributed to a stably extended Portevin-Le Chatelier effect.The volume fraction of RA gradually decreased from 26.8%to 8.2%prior to fracture.In the late deformation stage,fracture initiation primarily occurred at the austenite/martensite and ferrite/martensite interfaces and the ferrite phase.
