Superimposed OER and UOR performances by the interaction of each component in an Fe-Mn electrocatalyst.

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and alternative urea oxidation reaction (UOR) are both important half reactions correlated with hydrogen production. Transition metal based catalysts with double metal composition exhibit excellent electrocatalytic performance for the OER or UOR due to their synergetic effect and coupling of different active sites. However, the development of OER/UOR bifunctional electrocatalysts is unsatisfying and the role of each metallic active site in the OER and UOR is still unclear.

Gastric hyperplastic polyps inversely associated with current infection.

The incidence of gastric hyperplastic polyps (HPs) has been on the rise in recent years. The contribution of infection to this trend has remained to be elucidated. The present study aimed to explore the association between HPs and in China, an area with a high infection rate of .

C1QTNF6 is overexpressed in gastric carcinoma and contributes to the proliferation and migration of gastric carcinoma cells.

In the present study, proteins differentially expressed between gastric cancer tissue and para‑tumoral normal gastric tissues were screened, and the function of the highly expressed protein C1QTNF6 in gastric carcinoma was investigated. The differential expression of mRNAs extracted from the tumor and adjacent tissues was analyzed using GeneChip assay. An AGS si‑C1QTNF6 cell line was constructed using shRNA‑C1QTNF6 lentivirus.

Expression of interleukin-17 and its clinical significance in gastric cancer patients.

To investigate the expression of interleukin 17 (IL-17) in serum and tumor tissues, and evaluate the correlation between IL-17 and clinical characteristics from patients with gastric cancer. From January 2009 to January 2010, total 50 patients with gastric cancer and 50 healthy controls were enrolled. The patients included 32 males and 18 females with average age of (62.

Promoter methylation regulates cigarette smoke-stimulated cyclooxygenase-2 expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective: Cigarette smoke extracts (CSE) could promote esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) through upregulation of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression. Promoter methylation mediates the transcriptional modulation of the COX-2 gene. The aim of the study was to explore whether COX-2 promoter methylation regulated COX-2 expression and functional activity in ESCC exposed to CSE.
