N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU)-induced C-terminal truncation of Runx3 results in autoimmune colitis associated with Th17/Treg imbalance.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and progressive inflammatory intestinal disease that affects people around the world. The primary cause of IBD is an imbalance in the host immune response to intestinal flora. Several human genes, including IL10, STAT3, IRGM, ATG16L1, NOD2 and RUNX3, are associated with inappropriate immune responses in IBD.

Vibrational and electrochemical studies of pectin-a candidate towards environmental friendly lithium-ion battery development.

Pectin polymers are considered for lithium-ion battery electrodes. To understand the performance of pectin as an applied buffer layer, the electrical, magnetic, and optical properties of pectin films are investigated. This work describes a methodology for creating pectin films, including both pristine pectin and Fe-doped pectin, which are optically translucent, and explores their potential for lithium-ion battery application.

BaCuInSe: A Wide-Bandgap Copper Indium Selenide Reveals Strong Luminescence and Third-Harmonic Generation.

A new copper indium selenide, BaCuInSe, was synthesized by the KBr flux reaction at 800 °C. The compound crystallizes with orthorhombic , = 46.1700(12) Å, = 4.

A study on Ti-doped FeO anode for Li ion battery using machine learning, electrochemical and distribution function of relaxation times (DFRTs) analyses.

Among many transition-metal oxides, FeO anode based lithium ion batteries (LIBs) have been well-investigated because of their high energy and high capacity. Iron is known for elemental abundance and is relatively environmentally friendly as well contains with low toxicity. However, LIBs based on FeO suffer from particle aggregation during charge-discharge processes that affects the cycling performance.

Differences in Child Health Across Rural, Urban, and Slum Areas: Evidence From India.

The developing world is rapidly urbanizing, but an understanding of how child health differs across urban and rural areas is lacking. We examine the association between area of residence and child health in India, focusing on composition and selection effects. Simple height-for-age averages show that rural Indian children have the poorest health and urban children have the best, with slum children in between.

Early Detection of T cell Transfer-induced Autoimmune Colitis by In Vivo Imaging System.

Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic and progressive inflammatory intestinal disease that includes two major types, namely ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease (CD). CD is characterized by intestinal epithelial hyperplasia and inflammatory cell infiltration. Transfer of CD25CD45RBCD4 (naïve) T cells into immunodeficiency mice induces autoimmune colitis with pathological lesions similar to CD and loss of body weight 4 weeks after cell transfer.

Microstructural evolution and electrical properties of base-metal electroded BaTi4O9 materials with B-Si-Ba-Zn-O glass system.

Barium titanate-based microwave dielectrics usually require relatively high temperatures to sinter, which prevents the use of base metals such as copper for electrodes. In this work, BaTi(4)O(9) microwave dielectric ceramics co-fired with copper electrodes are made possible by adding B-Si-Ba- Zn-O glass to induce liquid-phase sintering at sufficiently low temperature and in reduced atmosphere. The microstructures and electric properties of the BaTi(4)O(9) ceramics thus obtained are carefully examined and studied.
