[Characteristics and Formation Mechanism of Three Haze Pollution Processes in Chengdu in Winter].

Based on the online monitoring data of gaseous pollutants and components in PM from Chengdu super observatory of atmospheric environment, the meteorological factors and component characteristics of three haze pollution process in Chengdu from 2019 to 2020 were analyzed. The CMB model was adopted to simulate the sources and variation trends of PM pollution during the study period, and the causes of each pollution process were analyzed. The results showed that all the three pollution processes occurred under adverse meteorological conditions, where the relative humidity and temperature continued to rise and the wind speed and boundary layer height continued to decrease.

Histone deacetylase 1 induced by neddylation inhibition contributes to drug resistance in acute myelogenous leukemia.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the function and mechanism of neddylation of HDAC1 underlying drug resistance of AML cells.

Methods: Evaluation experiments of effects of HDAC1 on drug resistance of AML cells were performed with AML cell transfected with constructs overexpressing HDAC1 or multi-drug resistance AML cells transfected with siRNA for HDAC1 through observing cell viability, percentage of apoptotic cell, doxorubicin-releasing index and multidrug resistance associated protein 1 (MRP1) expression. Neddylation or ubiquitination of HDAC1 was determined by immunoprecipitation or Ni2 pull down assay followed by western blot.

[Fine Particulate Matter Source Profile of Typical Industries in Sichuan Province].

An electrical low pressure impactor particle monitor was used to monitor typical industries in Sichuan Province, such as cement, glass, ceramic, brick-tile, coal-fired boiler, biomass boiler, power plant, and steel industry. Fine particulate matter source profiles of each industry were developed based on the laboratory analysis. The results showed that Si, Ca, and Mg were the major elements of building industry particulate matter emission.

Asparagine synthetase expression is associated with the sensitivity to asparaginase in extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma in vivo and in vitro.

Background: Although asparagine synthetase (AsnS) is associated with drug resistance in leukemia, its function in extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) remains unclear.

Methods: The present study investigated the relationship between baseline AsnS mRNA levels and response to asparaginase in ENKTL cell lines. It also determined whether upregulating or downregulating the AsnS mRNA level induces or reverses asparaginase-resistant phenotype.

Clinical significance of serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor-α in extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL): a predictive biomarker for treatment efficacy and valuable prognostic factor.

Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL) is an aggressive disease, and no standard treatment and validated prognostic model were established. Serum sIL-2Rα levels were measured in 94 ENKTL patients to evaluate its relationship with clinical features, treatment response, and prognosis. Serum sIL-2Rα level was 2964 ± 1613.
