lncRNA AGAP2-AS1 Facilitates Tumorigenesis and Ferroptosis Resistance through SLC7A11 by IGF2BP2 Pathway in Melanoma.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) stand as indispensable regulators of initiation and development in melanoma (melanoma). However, the action molecular mechanisms linked to melanoma remain unclear. In the current study, the findings revealed that AGAP2-AS1 was considerably greater in melanoma than in healthy tissues and that the level of AGAP2-AS1 in cancer tissue was significantly linked to the cancerous TNM stage of patients.

Analysis of Factors Associated With Depression in Community-Dwelling Older Adults in Wuhan, China.

This study aimed to identify the independent factors associated with depression in community-dwelling older adults in Wuhan, China. Four hundred and seventy older adults (aged ≥65 years) from four communities dwelling on Junshan Street in Wuhan, China were included in this study. Participants completed a questionnaire that asked questions pertaining to age, gender, educational level, income, living situation, care situation, social support, and social engagement.

Small graphite nanoflakes as an advanced cathode material for aluminum ion batteries.

Here, we prepared small graphite nanoflakes (SGN) by a new strategy of pulverization as the cathode of aluminum ion batteries (AIBs). Electrochemical measurements show that SGN has a very high discharge capacity, excellent rate performance and good cycling stability mainly due to its enlarged edge plane, reduced thickness and high crystallinity. This work provides a new route for preparing high performance graphite-based materials for AIBs.

[Determination of six progesterones in milk by on-line cleanup liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry].

A new method using TurboFlow on-line cleanup liquid chromatography combined with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) has been developed for simultaneous determination of six progesterones including 19-norethindrone, 17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone, medroxyprogesterone, megestrol acetate, progesterone and melengestrol acetate in milk. Samples were extracted by acetonitrile. The analytes in extract were on-line purified directly on Cyclone-P purification column where the sample matrices were washed away.

High frequency magnetic properties and intergranule interaction of nano-granular films with high resistivity and high permeability.

In order to get magnetic films with high permeability and high resistivity for applications in high frequency devices, (Fe65Co35)x(SiO2)1-x nano-granular films with low metal volume fraction were fabricated by radio frequency magnetron sputtering, and excellent soft magnetic properties have been acquired by annealing the sample with x = 0.38 at 260 degrees C in a magnetic field. The real part micro' of complex permeability is larger than 100 when frequency f is lower than 0.

Morphology and magnetic properties of diluted magnetic semiconductor 1D nanostructure Ni(x)Sn(1-x)O(2-delta).

SnO2 and Ni(x)Sn(1-x)O(2-delta) (x = 0.007-0.043) 1D nanostructures are fabricated using a catalyzer assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD).

Ferromagnetism driven by oxygen vacancies in SnO2 nanowires.

Room temperature ferromagnetism has been observed in SnO2 nanowires synthesized by a chemical vapor deposition using Au layers as catalyst. The nanowires are homogeneous and single-crystalline grown along the [101] direction, with diameters ranging from 25 to 100 nm and length greater than 20 microm. The special magnetization reaches 0.

Fabrication and Magnetic Properties of Fe65Co35-ZnO Nano-Granular Films.

A series of nano-granular films composed of magnetic metal (Fe65Co35) granules with a few nanometers in size and semiconductor oxide (ZnO) have been fabricated by a magnetron sputtering method, and excellent soft magnetic properties have been achieved in a wide metal volume fraction (x) range for as-deposited samples due to the exchange coupling between FeCo granules (a ferromagnetic interaction in nano-scale).
