    Notes: The reaction of [Cp*IrCl2]2 with dilithium 1,2-ortho-carborane-1,2-diselenolate 3 leads to the green 16-electron diselenolene complex [Cp*Ir{Se2C2(B10H10)}] (4) which takes up two-electron ligands such as trimethylphosphane to give the 18-electron diselenolate derivative [Cp*Ir(PMe3){Se2C2(B10H10)}] (5). The molecular structures of 4 and 5 were determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis. The 77Se-nuclear shielding in 4 is lower by almost 500 ppm relative to that in 5.

    Description: Abstract. Sodium ethene-bis-nitrobenzenesulfonate, [Na 2 (ENS) · 6H 2 O] n ( 1 ) was synthesized through coupling reaction of o -nitrotoluenesulfonic acid in NaOH solution and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR and 1 H NMR spectroscopy, XRPD, DSC and TGA (where ENS 2– = ethene-bis-nitrobenzenesulfonate). The asymmetrical unit of ( 1 ) consists of two octahedral Na I ions, and the neighboring metal centers are bridged by μ 2 water molecules resulting in the formation of an inorganic tetranuclear unit. The tetranuclear units were connected through the ENS 2– ligands into a 2D topology net. The weak π–π stacking and H-bonding interactions further stabilized the structure. The crystals of (C 7 H 6 NO 5 S) – · (H 5 O 2 ) + ( 2 ) were obtained by post-processing the unreacted raw material to recycle. Furthermore, the rigidity and the conjugation effect of the aromatic system in compound 1 were increased through the coordination interactions of metal atoms to ligands, resulting in the emission coming from ligand enhanced with red-shifting about 9 nm of the maximal wavelength. The conjugation effects and the steric arrangement of the substituent groups play the main role to the luminescence intensity and red-shift effect.

    Description: ABSTRACT This study was the first to investigate the genetic abnormalities and structural dysplasia of anorectal malformations (ARMs) in male rats induced by di( n -butyl) phthalate (DBP). DBP was administered to timed-pregnant rats to establish the ARM rat model. The incidence of ARMs in male offspring was 39.5%. In neonatal period, decreased body weight and anogenital distance were observed. The general image and histological analysis of male offspring confirmed the presence of ARMs. Anatomical examination of the ARM male rats revealed the dysplasia in solid organs (heart-lung, liver, spleen, and kidney). The decreases of serum testosterone concentration and androgen receptor expression in terminal rectum were indicative of the antiandrogenic effects of DBP. Moreover, significant decreased mRNA expressions of these androgen-related genes such as sonic hedgehog, Gli2, Gli3, bone morphogenetic protein 4, Wnt5a, Hoxa13, Hoxd13, fibroblast growth factor 10, and fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 were found in terminal rectum of the ARM male pubs. These results demonstrated that development of ARM rats was impaired by maternal exposure to DBP. The antiandrogenic effects of DBP disturbing the androgen-related signaling networks might play an important role in the occurrence of ARMs. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Environ Toxicol, 2014.

    Description: In mammals, breeding is preceded by species-specific mating behaviours. In this study, we investigated whether parthenogenetic embryo quality could be improved by mating behaviours in mice. To investigate this hypothesis, female mice were mated with vasectomized Kunming white male mice after superovulation. Oocytes were collected and counted at 16 h after superovulation. The oocytes were then artificially activated by medium containing 10 mM strontium chloride and 5 µg/ml cytochalasin B. Blastocysts were obtained by cultivating activated oocytes in vitro . Expression levels of reprogramming transcription factors (i.e. Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc ) in oocytes, apoptosis-related genes (i.e. Bax, Bcl2 and c-Myc) in cumulus cells and pluripotency-related transcription factors (i.e. Oct4, Nanog and FGF4 ) in blastocysts were analysed in samples collected from mated and unmated mice. Additionally, developmental competence of parthenogenetic embryos was used to assess following fibroblast growth factor 4 (FGF4) treatment. The results showed that the formation rate of blastocysts in unmated mice was significantly higher than that in mated mice ( p  〈 0.05). Embryo development was primarily blocked at the eight-cell stage in mated mice; however, the blastocyst formation rate did not differ significantly between groups after the addition of 25 ng/ml FGF4 to the medium at the four-cell stage ( p  〉 0.05). Moreover, the expression of the reprogramming factor Sox2 was significantly different in oocytes collected from mated versus unmated mice. Taken together, our results demonstrated that mating behaviours influenced embryonic development in vitro by decreasing FGF4 expression. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Description: Ericerus pela Chavannes (Hemiptera: Coccoidae) is an economically important scale insect because the second instar males secrete a harvestable wax-like substance. In this study, we report the molecular cloning of a fatty acyl-CoA reductase gene ( EpFAR ) of E. pela . We predicted a 520-aa protein with the FAR family features from the deduced amino acid sequence. The EpFAR mRNA was expressed in five tested tissues, testis, alimentary canal, fat body, Malpighian tubules, and mostly in cuticle. The EpFAR protein was localized by immunofluorescence only in the wax glands and testis. EpFAR expression in High Five insect cells documented the recombinant EpFAR reduced 26-0:(S) CoA and to its corresponding alcohol. The data illuminate the molecular mechanism for fatty alcohol biosynthesis in a beneficial insect, E. pela .

    Description: ABSTRACT We propose new implicit staggered-grid finite-difference schemes with optimal coefficients based on the sampling approximation method to improve the numerical solution accuracy for seismic modelling. We first derive the optimized implicit staggered-grid finite-difference coefficients of arbitrary even-order accuracy for the first-order spatial derivatives using the plane-wave theory and the direct sampling approximation method. Then, the implicit staggered-grid finite-difference coefficients based on sampling approximation, which can widen the range of wavenumber with great accuracy, are used to solve the first-order spatial derivatives. By comparing the numerical dispersion of the implicit staggered-grid finite-difference schemes based on sampling approximation, Taylor series expansion, and least squares, we find that the optimal implicit staggered-grid finite-difference scheme based on sampling approximation achieves greater precision than that based on Taylor series expansion over a wider range of wavenumbers, although it has similar accuracy to that based on least squares. Finally, we apply the implicit staggered-grid finite difference based on sampling approximation to numerical modelling. The modelling results demonstrate that the new optimal method can efficiently suppress numerical dispersion and lead to greater accuracy compared with the implicit staggered-grid finite difference based on Taylor series expansion. In addition, the results also indicate the computational cost of the implicit staggered-grid finite difference based on sampling approximation is almost the same as the implicit staggered-grid finite difference based on Taylor series expansion.

    Description: Shear stress provided by a hydrocyclone was employed to remove the oil from oil-contaminated catalysts. Understanding the deoiling mechanism and providing quantitative analysis of the interaction between shear stress fields and deoiling are necessary to improve deoiling efficiency. In this study, a numerical simulation was conducted for the velocity field and shear stress field of a hydrocyclone, both of which are difficult to measure using other methods. Results showed that the shear stress field in the wall layer, where oil-contaminated catalysts are usually located, was robust. Increasing inlet flow rates resulted in a higher shear rate distribution along the wall layer. Numerical results were also compared with the experimental data. In the deoiling process, higher shear stress rates promoted faster transport of oil from catalysts into the fluid, thereby increasing the deoiling efficiency. Deoiling by the shear stress of a hydrocyclone is an efficient method for cleaning oil-contaminated catalysts within a short period of time.

    Description: Aims Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonists has been applied into cancer immunotherapy, but the heterogeneity of tumor renders TLR7 behaves versatile in tumor microenvironment and the characteristic of TLR7 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is unclear. Methods and results 20 healthy oral tissues, 50 oral leukoplakia tissues and 166 retrospective primary OSCC samples were collected for immunohistochemical staining of TLR7 and showed up-regulated expression during carcinogenesis. Moreover, patients with high expression of TLR7 in tumor cells (TCs) had poor differentiation and prognosis. Interestingly, patients with high expression of TLR7 in stroma fibroblast-like cells (FLCs) had low tumor stage, no lymph node metastasis (LNM) and better prognosis. Furthermore, ki-67, CD3, CD4, CD8 and Foxp3 + tumor-infiltrated lymphocytes were assessed and found that TLR7 high TCs were infiltrated with fewer CD3 + CD4 + but more Foxp3 + lymphocytes. Importantly, patients with TLR7 low TCs and TLR7 high FLCs had less Foxp3 + lymphocytes infiltration and longer survival time than those who with TLR7 high TCs/TLR7 low FLCs, although TLR7 was not an independent prognostic factor for OSCC. Conclusions The low expression of TLR7 in tumor and high expression of TLR7 in stroma predict a good clinical outcome for OSCC patients and stroma FLCs might be conducive to immunotherapy by TLR7 agonist.
