    Abstract The platinum-based chemotherapy is one of the most frequently used treatment protocols for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), and chemoresistance, however, usually results in treatment failure and limits its application in the clinic. It has been shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a significant role in tumor chemoresistance. In this study, miR-125b was identified as a specific cisplatin (DDP)-resistant gene in LUAD, as indicated by the bioinformatics analysis and the real-time quantitative PCR assay. The decreased serum level of miR-125b in LUAD patients was correlated with the poor treatment response rate and short survival time. MiR-125b decreased the A549/DDP proliferation, and the multiple… More >

    HEAT EXCHANGER DESIGN METHODOLOGY FOR ELECTRONIC HEAT SINKS

    Ralph L. Webb

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.2, No.2, pp. 1-5, 2011, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v2.2.3001

    Abstract This paper discusses the “Inlet Temperature Difference” (ITD) based heat-exchanger (and its variants) design methodology frequently used by designers of electronic heat sinks. The methodology is at variance with the accepted methodology recommended in standard heat-transfer text books – the “Log-Mean Temperature Difference” (LMTD), or the equivalent “effectiveness-NTU” design method. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate and discuss the ITD based design methodology and its deficiencies. The paper shows that the ITD based method is an approximation at best. Variants of the method can lead to either under or over prediction of the heat transfer rate. Its shortcomings… More >

    NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF HEAT TRANSPORT IN A DIRECT METHANOL FUEL CELL WITH ANISOTROPIC GAS DIFFUSION LAYERS

    Zheng Miaoa, Ya-Ling Hea,*, Tian-Shou Zhaob, Wen-Quan Taoa

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.2, No.1, pp. 1-10, 2011, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v2.1.3001

    Abstract A non-isothermal two-phase mass transport model is developed in this paper to investigate the heat generation and transport phenomena in a direct methanol fuel cell with anisotropic gas diffusion layers (GDLs). Thermal contact resistances at the GDL/CL (catalyst layer) and GDL/Rib interfaces, and the deformation of GDLs are considered together with the inherent anisotropy of the GDL. Latent heat effects due to condensation/evaporation of water and methanol between liquid and gas phases are also taken into account. Formulation of the two-phase mass transport across the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) is mainly based on the classical multiphase flow theory in the… More >

    BIOCELL, Vol.48, No.3, pp. 453-462, 2024, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2024.047871

    Abstract Background: The primary cause of treatment failure in patients with refractory or relapsed B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r B-NHL) is resistance to current therapies, and therapy-induced senescence (TIS) stands out as a crucial mechanism contributing to tumor drug resistance. Here, we analyzed SENEX/Rho GTPase Activating Protein 18 (ARHGAP18) expression and prognostic significance in doxorubicin-induced B-NHL-TIS model and r/r B-NHL patients, investigating its target in B-NHL cell senescence and the effect of combining specific inhibitors on apoptosis resistance in B-NHL-TIS cells. Methods: Raji cells were transfected with the human SENEX shRNA recombinant lentiviral vector (Sh-SENEX) and the empty vector negative (NC) to… More >

    Preparation of Environmentally Friendly Urea-Hexanediamine-Glyoxal (HUG) Resin Wood Adhesive

    Qianyu Zhang1,2,#, Shi Chen1,2,#, Long Cao1,2, Hong Lei3, Antonio Pizzi4, Xuedong Xi1,2,*, Guanben Du1,2

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.12, No.2, pp. 235-244, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.029537

    Abstract Using non-toxic, low-volatile glyoxal to completely replace formaldehyde for preparing urea-glyoxal (UG) resin adhesive is a hot research topic that could be of great interest for the wood industry. However, urea-glyoxal (UG) resins prepared by just using glyoxal instead of formaldehyde usually yields a lower degree of polymerization. This results in a poorer bonding performance and water resistance of UG resins. A good solution is to pre-react urea to preform polyurea molecules presenting already a certain degree of polymerization, and then to condense these with glyoxal to obtain a novel UG resin. Therefore, in this present work, the urea was… More > Graphic Abstract

    Physiological and Transcriptome Analysis Illuminates the Molecular Mechanisms of the Drought Resistance Improved by Alginate Oligosaccharides in Triticum aestivum L.

    Yunhong Zhang1,2,*, Yonghui Yang1,2, Jiawei Mao1,2

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.2, pp. 185-212, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2023.046811

    Abstract Alginate oligosaccharides (AOS) enhance drought resistance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), but the definite mechanisms remain largely unknown. The physiological and transcriptome responses of wheat seedlings treated with AOS were analyzed under drought stress simulated with polyethylene glycol-6000. The results showed that AOS promoted the growth of wheat seedlings and reduced oxidative damage by improving peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities under drought stress. A total of 10,064 and 15,208 differentially expressed unigenes (DEGs) obtained from the AOS treatment and control samples at 24 and 72 h after dehydration, respectively, were mainly enriched in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites (phenylpropanoid biosynthesis,… More >

    BIOCELL, Vol.48, No.2, pp. 229-237, 2024, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2023.045030

    Abstract Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) constitutes the leading cause of death worldwide. Chemoresistance and tumor immune evasion are critical contributors to therapeutic failure in cancer patients. CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing 6 (CMTM6) is aberrantly expressed in various cancers and can regulate tumor immunity. However, its role in chemoresistance and tumor immunity of CRC is not well understood. Methods: Online bioinformatics tools were used to analyze expression and prognosis of CMTM6 in CRC patients. CRC cells were transfected with si-CMTM6. Subsequently, the effects on CRC cell viability and chemoresistance were investigated by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometer. Furthermore, CRC cell-induced macrophage recruitments… More > Graphic Abstract

    Abstract When the amphibious vehicle navigates in water, the angle of the anti-wave plate and the position of the center of gravity greatly influence the navigation characteristics. In the relevant research on reducing the navigation resistance of amphibious vehicles by adjusting the angle of the anti-wave plate, there is a lack of scientific selection of parameters and reasonable research of simulation results by using mathematical methods, and the influence of the center of gravity position on navigation characteristics is not considered at the same time. To study the influence of the combinations of the angle of the anti-wave plate and the… More >

    Experimental Study of the Electrical Resistance of Graphene OxideReinforced Cement-Based Composites with Notch or Rebar

    Yangao Hu1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.3, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09773

    Abstract This paper investigates the effects of graphene oxide (GO), notch depth, rebar, and load on the resistivity of cement paste and mortar. The electrical conductivity of GO/cement composite reaches its maximum value when the GO content is 0.03%, which is approximately 50% higher compared to the composite without GO. The resistivity of GO/cement composite shows significant changes with increasing load from 0 to 40 kN. The gauge factor for compressive loading varies from about 26 to 73 for different GO contents. Moreover, the resistivity variation with the notch depth in GO/cement is found to be much greater than that in… More >
