Theoretical Study on the Spectroscopic Properties and Line Intensities of the O Cation.

O cation, as one of the major gas components in the near space environment, has attracted significant attention due to its spectroscopic properties. In this study, we systematically investigate the spectroscopic properties of the O cation using ab initio methods. The potential energy curves and transition dipole moments of O were obtained using the icMRCI + Q method combined with the ACV5Z-DK basis set.

Theoretical Study on the Spectroscopic Properties and Line Intensity of Silicon Monosulfide Cation.

The SiS cation is considered a potential astromolecule, yet there is limited documentation regarding its spectroscopic properties and spectral line intensities. In this paper, the potential energy curves, dipole moments, and transition dipole moments of the SiS cation are calculated using the icMRCI + Q method. By solving the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation for the nucleus, we have obtained spectroscopic constants for both the ground state and 11 low-lying excited states.

Theoretical calculation of spectroscopy properties of selenium bromide cation.

In this paper, the potential energy curves of 22 Λ-S states as well as 51 Ω states were calculated using the internally contracted multiconfiguration interaction and Davidson correction method. Through the obtained transition data, the spectroscopy data of the low excitation bound state are fitted and compared with the same main group ions. The phenomenon of avoided crossing that occurs in the Ω state is analyzed, and finally it is concluded that this phenomenon mainly occurs in the energy region between 20 000 cm and 40 000 cm.

Ab Initio Calculation of Ground- and Low-Excited-State Spectroscopic Data and Transition Properties of SBr.

In this paper, potential energy curves of Λ- and Ω states of SBr are reported for the first time, and the spectrum data of some low excited bound states are obtained. The differences in the spectrum properties of main-group molecules and SBr were compared and analyzed, providing a sufficient theoretical basis for the subsequent study of main-group molecules. The avoided crossing that occurs in the Ω state is analyzed, and finally it is concluded that this phenomenon mainly occurs in the energy region between 20,000 and 40,000 cm that is relative to the minimum energy value.

Theoretical Study on the Electronic Structure and Transition Properties of Low Excited States of SeCl.

For the first time, the spectroscopy and transition properties of SeCl are systematically reported. The potential energy curves of 22 Λ - states and the corresponding 51 Ω states in the first and second dissociation channels of SeCl are calculated using the internally contracted multiconfiguration interaction and Davidson correction method. The phenomenon of avoided crossing in Ω states below 30,000 cm is discussed in detail.

Calreticulin promotes EMT in pancreatic cancer via mediating Ca dependent acute and chronic endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Background: Our previous study showed that calreticulin (CRT) promoted EGF-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in pancreatic cancer (PC) via Integrin/EGFR-ERK/MAPK signaling. We next investigated the novel signal pathway and molecular mechanism involving the oncogenic role of CRT in PC.

Methods: We investigated the potential role and mechanism of CRT in regulating intracellular free Ca dependent acute and chronic endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-induced EMT in PC in vitro and vivo.

Musashi2 promotes the progression of pancreatic cancer through a novel ISYNA1-p21/ZEB-1 pathway.

Our previous studies found overexpression of Musashi2 (MSI2) conduced to the progression and chemoresistance of pancreatic cancer (PC) by negative regulation of Numb and wild type p53 (wtp53). Now, we further investigated the novel signalling involved with MSI2 in PC. We identified inositol-3-phosphate synthase 1 (ISYNA1) as a novel tumour suppressor regulated by MSI2.

Musashi2 promotes EGF-induced EMT in pancreatic cancer via ZEB1-ERK/MAPK signaling.

Background: Our previous study showed Musashi2 (MSI2) promoted chemotherapy resistance and pernicious biology of pancreatic cancer (PC) by down-regulating Numb and p53. We further explored the novel molecular mechanism involving its oncogenic role in PC development.

Methods: We investigated the potential role and mechanism of MSI2 in EGF-induced EMT in PC in vitro and vivo.

Cooperation of SRPK2, Numb and p53 in the malignant biology and chemosensitivity of colorectal cancer.

Serine-arginine protein kinase 2 (SRPK2) is aberrantly expressed in human malignancies including colorectal cancer (CRC). However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms, and the role of SRPK2 in chemosensitivity remains unexplored in CRC. We recently showed that SRPK2 promotes pancreatic cancer progression by down-regulating Numb and p53.

The diversity between curatively resected pancreatic head and body-tail cancers based on the 8th edition of AJCC staging system: a multicenter cohort study.

Background: To our knowledge, there are no studies to systematically compare the detailed clinical significance between curatively resected pancreatic head (ph) and body-tail (pbt) ductal adenocarcinoma based on the new 8th edition of AJCC staging system (8th AJCC stage) that was just applied in clinical practice in 2018.

Methods: Three hundred fifty-one patients with curatively resected pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PC) from three center hospitals were entered into this multicenter cohort study.

Results: Increasing tumor size (P < 0.

Serine/arginine protein-specific kinase 2 promotes the development and progression of pancreatic cancer by downregulating Numb and p53.

Serine/arginine protein-specific kinase 2 (SRPK2) plays a vital role in the progression of a range of different malignancies, including pancreatic cancer. However, the mechanisms are poorly understood. Previous studies have shown that in hepatocellular carcinoma, SRPK2 knockdown leads to the upregulation of the cell fate determining protein Numb, and in pancreatic cancer cells, Numb knockdown prevents ubiquitin-mediated degradation of p53.

Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery versus laparoscopic right colectomy: a meta-analysis.

Objective: The objective of this study is to systematically assess the clinical efficacy of hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) and laparoscopic right colectomy (LRC).

Methods: The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs were collected by searching electronic databases (Pubmed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library). The outcomes included intraoperative outcomes, postoperative outcomes, postoperative morbidity, and oncologic outcomes.

Calreticulin promotes EGF-induced EMT in pancreatic cancer cells via Integrin/EGFR-ERK/MAPK signaling pathway.

Our previous study showed that Calreticulin (CRT) promoted the development of pancreatic cancer (PC) through ERK/MAPK pathway. We next investigate whether CRT promotes EGF-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in PC via Integrin/EGFR-ERK/MAPK signaling, which has not been reported yet to our knowledge. EGF simultaneously induced EMT and activated Integrin/EGFR-ERK/MAPK signaling pathway in 3 PC cells.

Depletion, moral identity, and unethical behavior: Why people behave unethically after self-control exertion.

Self-control enables people to resist short-term temptations in the service of long-term goals. Previous exertion of self-control leads to a state of ego depletion. Three studies demonstrated that ego depletion leads to a high level of unethical behavior.

Learning to Dislike Chocolate: Conditioning Negative Attitudes toward Chocolate and Its Effect on Chocolate Consumption.

Evaluative conditioning (EC) procedures can be used to form and change attitudes toward a wide variety of objects. The current study examined the effects of a negative EC procedure on attitudes toward chocolate, and whether it influenced chocolate evaluation and consumption. Participants were randomly assigned to the experimental condition in which chocolate images were paired with negative stimuli, or the control condition in which chocolate images were randomly paired with positive stimuli (50%) and negative stimuli (50%).

The Effect of Implicit Preferences on Food Consumption: Moderating Role of Ego Depletion and Impulsivity.

Ego depletion has been found to moderate the effect of implicit preferences on food consumption, such that implicit preferences predict consumption only under a depleted state. The present study tested how trait impulsivity impacts the effect of implicit preferences on food consumption in a depleted condition. Trait impulsivity was measured by means of self-report and a stop signal task.
