Forensic analysis on bursting accident of buffer tank in liquefied natural gas bus.

In December 2019, a buffer tank burst accident occurred in the maintenance of liquefied natural gas (LNG) bus in China. Failure analysis revealed the bus-mounted buffer tank had been subjected to an excessive internal pressurization, although the tank material met the specifications for engineering practice. The physical evidence related to the failed tank showed that a chemical explosion was impossible.

Novel interactions between ERα-36 and STAT3 mediate breast cancer cell migration.

Background: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide which is closely related to metastasis. But the exact molecular mechanism of ERα-36 and STAT3 on metastasis is still not fully understood.

Methods: MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell lines and MCF-10A were overexpressioned or knockdown ERα-36 and STAT3 and tested for migration, invasion and proliferation assays.
