    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.

    Synthesis, Structure, Photoluminescence and Thermal Properties of Sodium Ethene-Bis-Nitrobenzenesulfonate (2012)
    Wiley-Blackwell
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-08-25
    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.

    Genetic research and structural dysplasia assessment of anorectal malformations in neonatal male rats induced by di(n-butyl) phthalate (2014)
    Wiley-Blackwell
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-09-13
    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.

    Expression of FGF4 mRNA is mediated by mating behaviours in mice (2012)
    Wiley-Blackwell
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-11-22
    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.

    Characterization and functional assay of a fatty acyl-CoA reductase gene in the scale insect, Ericerus pela Chavannes (Hemiptera: Coccoidae) (2017)
    Wiley-Blackwell
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-12-27
    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 .

    Lysosome-mediated degradation of a distinct pool of lipid droplets during hepatic stellate cell activation [Metabolism] (2017)
    The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-07-29
    Description: Activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is a critical step in the development of liver fibrosis. During activation, HSCs lose their lipid droplets (LDs) containing triacylglycerols (TAGs), cholesteryl esters, and retinyl esters (REs). We previously provided evidence for the presence of two distinct LD pools, a preexisting and a dynamic LD pool. Here we investigate the mechanisms of neutral lipid metabolism in the preexisting LD pool. To investigate the involvement of lysosomal degradation of neutral lipids, we studied the effect of lalistat, a specific lysosomal acid lipase (LAL/Lipa) inhibitor on LD degradation in HSCs during activation in vitro. The LAL inhibitor increased the levels of TAG, cholesteryl ester, and RE in both rat and mouse HSCs. Lalistat was less potent in inhibiting the degradation of newly synthesized TAG species as compared with a more general lipase inhibitor orlistat. Lalistat also induced the presence of RE-containing LDs in an acidic compartment. However, targeted deletion of the Lipa gene in mice decreased the liver levels of RE, most likely as the result of a gradual disappearance of HSCs in livers of Lipa−/− mice. Lalistat partially inhibited the induction of activation marker α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in rat and mouse HSCs. Our data suggest that LAL/Lipa is involved in the degradation of a specific preexisting pool of LDs and that inhibition of this pathway attenuates HSC activation.

    Optimal implicit staggered-grid finite-difference schemes based on the sampling approximation method for seismic modelling (2015)
    Wiley-Blackwell
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-10-02
    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.
