Two Co(II) coordination polymers: magnetic properties and application values against chronic subdural hematoma.

In this current experiment, by applying the mixed-ligand synthesis method, two coordination polymers (CPs) containing Co(II) were created triumphantly with reaction between 1,3-bis(1-imidazoly)benzene (mbib) and Co(II) salts with the aid of diverse carboxylic ligands, and their chemical formulae are [Co(opda)(mbib)(HO)]·2HO (, Hopda is 1,2-phenylenediacetic acid) and [Co(mpda)(mbib)]·HO (, Hmpda is 1,3-phenylenediacetic acid). The two compounds' magnetic performances suggest that between the adjacent metal ions, there present the antiferromagnetic coupling. The evaluation of their treatment activity against chronic subdural hematoma was carried out and the relevant mechanism was studied simultaneously.

Dysregulation of the miR-1275/HK2 Axis Contributes to the Progression of Hypoxia/Reoxygenation-Induced Myocardial Injury.

Objective: This research was designed to investigate the function of miR-1275 in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced myocardial injury and its in-depth mechanism.

Methods: Firstly, the differential expression of miR-1275 in patients with heart failure and healthy control were analyzed based on Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Then H/R model was constructed in vitro with AC16 cells.

Evidence of the pressure-induced conductivity switching of yttrium-doped SrTiO3.

The electrical transport properties of undoped and yttrium-doped strontium titanate (Sr(Ti1 - x Y x )O3 - δ , x  =  0, 0.02) under high pressure were investigated with in situ impedance spectroscopy measurements. A pressure-induced conductivity switching for undoped and 2 mole% Y-doped strontium titanate is observed at around ~10.

[Review on Application of Optical Scattering Spectroscopy for Elastic Wave Velocity Study on Materials in Earth's Interior].

In-situ experimental results on the elastic wave velocity of Earth materials at high pressure and high temperature in combination with data from seismic observation can help to inverse the chemical composition, state and migration of materials in Earth's interior, providing an important approach to explore information of deep earth. Applying the Brillouin scattering into the Diamond Anvil Cell (DAC) to obtain the in situ elastic wave velocities of minerals, is the important approach to investigate elastic properties of Earth's Interior. With the development of DAC technology, on the one hand, the high temperature and high pressure experimental environment to simulate different layers of the earth can be achieved; on the other hand, the optical properties of DAC made many kinds of optical analysis and test methods have been widely applied in this research field.

Brap2 facilitates HsCdc14A Lys-63 linked ubiquitin modification.

Protein phosphotase Cdc14 (Cell division cycle gene 14) is a key regulator of late mitotic events in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However the function of human Cdc14 (HsCdc14A & B) and its regulatory network are still elusive. In this study, we identified a new partner of HsCdc14A named Brap2 (BRCA1 associated protein 2) using yeast two-hybrid screening assay.

Methods: 1039 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) aged over 30 were investigated by randomized cluster sampling in Shanghai central area and data from 767 of those patients were analyzed.

Results: (1) Among all of the 1534 digital ocular fundus images from 767 patients, 87.

[Effects of berberine on adiponectin mRNA expression in 3T3-L1 adipocyte].

Objective: To explore the effects of berberine and insulin on adiponectin mRNA expression in 3T3-L1 adipocyte.

Method: The 3T3-L1 adipocyte was treated with berberine and insulin for 48 hours, the level of adiponectin mRNA in 3T3-L1 adipocyte expression was determined with semiquantity RT-PCR using beta-actin as internal reference.

Result: The level of adiponetin mRNA in 3T3-L1 adipocyte was increased after treated with berberine only (P < 0.
