Laminated structural AlO/YAG:Ce composite ceramic phosphor with high front light emission for transmissive laser lighting.

The realization of high front light emission in laser lighting under transmissive modes is heavily constrained by low thermal stability and light extraction efficiency of color converter materials. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the heat dissipation capacity and light utilization efficiency of the color converter through appropriate microstructural adjustments. In this study, what we believe to be a novel laminated structure consisting of AlO and YAG:Ce was designed and fabricated for transmissive laser lighting.

[Molecular regulation mechanism of and in myoblast fusion].

Myogenesis is a complex physiological process that is mainly involved in the proliferation of myogenic stem cells to form myoblasts, which then differentiated and fused to form multinucleated myotubes. Many proteins have been found to be involved in myoblast fusion, but none of them are muscle-specific fusion proteins. In recent years, two muscle-specific transmembrane proteins, i.

Acute hypoxia changes the mode of glucose and lipid utilization in the liver of the largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides).

Dissolved oxygen (DO) undountedly affects fish distribution, metabolism, and evern survival. Intensive aquaculture and environmental changes will inevitably lead to hypoxic stress for largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). The different metabolic responses and mechanism still remains relatively unknown during acute hypoxia exposure.

[Advances in mammalian three-dimensional genome by using Hi-C technology approach].

Mammalian genomic DNA in the cell nucleus doesn't exist in linear form but is highly folded and condensed into chromatin with a three-dimensional (3D) structure possessing a specific spatial structure and conformation. Hi-C, the high-throughput chromosome conformation capture technology, was first published in 2009, and it provides an in-depth view of 3D genomics. According to the size of DNA unit, the 3D hierarchical units of mammalian genome can be categorized sequentially as chromosome territory (CT), chromatin compartment A/B, topological associated domain (TAD), and chromatin loop.

Analysis of miRNA-seq in the liver of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) in response to different environmental temperatures.

Water temperature affects the survival, growth, immunity, reproduction, and productivity of farmed fish. The temperature beyond suitable range will disrupt the normal physiological activity. Common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.

[The effect of lnc-RAP3 on 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation in mouse].

The long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a type of RNAs with more than 200nt in length and without any long open reading frame, but often have mRNA structural features. They can regulate the expression of target genes in different manners at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. In recent years, various studies demonstrated that lncRNAs play crucial roles in adipogenesis.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and short-term efficacy of Willis covered stent for treatment of blood blister-like aneurysms (BBA).

Methods: Eight patients with BBA were treated with Willis covered stent system during the period from December 2014 to February 2016. The guiding catheter was placed as high as possible to facilitate the delivery of the covered stent system.

[Onyx embolization for treatment of dural arteriovenous fistula: comparison of long- distance versus routine injection method].

Objective: To compare the efficacy, clinical characteristics, safety, injection time and radiation exposure of Onyx embolization using a long-distance injection method and routine injection method for management of dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF).

Methods: The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed in 59 patients with DAVF treated with Onyx embolization using long-distance injection method (28 patients) and routine injection method (31 patients). The efficacy, safety, injection time and radiation exposure during Onyx embolization were compared between the two injections methods.

[MicroRNA regulates animal adipocyte differentiation].

Adipose tissues play a critical role in the regulation of energy metabolism and homeostasis, and is also an important endocrine organ. Adipocyte differentiation is a complicated physiological process during which mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into adipocytes. This process is synergistically regulated by a large number of transcription factors, hormones and signaling pathway molecules.

Incremental value of resting three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography in detecting coronary artery disease.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the incremental value of resting three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3D-STE) in the detection of early-stage left ventricular dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). A total of 110 patients suspected of having CAD were recruited. All patients underwent 3D-STE and coronary artery angiography (CAG).

[Diagnosis and treatment of multiple intracranial aneurysms].

Objective: To explore the diagnosis and treatment strategy of multiple intracranial aneurysms (MIA).

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 96 patients with MIA (234 aneurysms). The rupture site was determined on the basis of computed tomographic and angiographic findings, and the supposed ruptured aneurysm was treated with coiling OR clipping.

[Surgical management of a complex intracranial dural ateriovenous fistula with deep hypothermia circulatory arrest: a case report and literature review].

Hypothermia and cardiopulmonary bypass has been used for difficult lesions of the brain such as giant aneurysms. We reported a case of complex intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) undergoing surgery with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA). The advantages and disadvantages of this operation were discussed.

The phylogeny analysis of MyoG gene in different pig breeds.

Ten different pig breeds with different genetic origin (they are eight Chinese Domestic breeds, one recently Developed breed and one Introduced breed respectively) were utilized in this study to analyze the phylogeny of MyoG gene. 63 individuals were sequenced to get their complete nucleotide sequences of MyoG gene. Different methods and software were used and 6 phylogenetic trees were got based on the complete nucleotide sequence.

[Developmental expression changes of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) system genes in longissimus dorsi muscle of two pig breeds].

Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was applied to investigate the developmental expression patterns of insulin like growth factor-1 and -2 (IGF-1 and -2), insulin like growth factor receptor -1 and -2 (IGF-1R and -2R), insulin like growth factor binding protein-3 and -5 (IGFBP-3 and -5) genes at the age of birth (0), 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 months in longissimus dorsi muscle of Landrace and Meishan pigs. The expression level of IGF-1 exhibited up-regulation, in contrast, the expression level of IGF-2 showed down-regulation after birth in the two pig breeds. These findings are consistent with the previous knowledge that IGF-2 is mainly expressed during the embryonic phase, IGF-1 is mainly expressed during the postnatal period, which could promote cell proliferation and ontogenesis.
