Subjects: Physics, QC1-999
Abstract: Magnetic performances of β-Ti68.75Nb25X6.25 (X=Fe, Mo, Sn, Ta, Zr) alloys were investigated with first-principles method. The results indicate that the alloys of TiNbSn, TiNbTa, and TiNbZr exhibit interestingly strong magnetism. The magnetic properties of the alloys mainly derive from Ti atoms. The X atom modulates the coupling between Ti and Nb producing electrons backward Ti atoms. Such electron transfer induces asymmetry of the d states of Ti atom between spin-up and spin-down channels. Such magnetic properties of β-Ti68.75Nb25X6.25 (X= Sn, Ta, Zr) show great potential in biomedical implants.

2. Modulation effect of hydrogen and fluorine decoration on the surface work function of BN sheets

Author: N Jiao, Chaoyu He, C. X. Zhang, Xiangyang Peng, K. W. Zhang, and L. Z. Sun
Subjects: Physics, QC1-999
Abstract: Using first-principles calculations within the framework of density-functional theory, we studied the modulation effect of hydrogen/fluorine chemical decoration on the surface work function of BN sheets. We found that the difference in the work function (ΔWBN) between two surfaces of the chair structure varies with the different decoration. Geometric distortion and chemical effects cause opposite modulation effects, and the chemical effect plays a leading role by inducing charge redistribution in the system.

3. Nonlinear Elasto-Mammography for Characterization of Breast Tissue Properties

Abstract: Quantification of the mechanical behavior of normal and cancerous tissues has important implication in the diagnosis of breast tumor. The present work extends the authors' nonlinear elastography framework to incorporate the conventional X-ray mammography, where the projection of displacement information is acquired instead of full three-dimensional (3D) vector. The elastic parameters of normal and cancerous breast tissues are identified by minimizing the difference between the measurement and the corresponding computational prediction. An adjoint method is derived to calculate the gradient of the objective function. Simulations are conducted on a 3D breast phantom consisting of the fatty tissue, glandular tissue, and cancerous tumor, whose mechanical responses are hyperelastic in nature. The material parameters are identified with consideration of measurement error. The results demonstrate that the projective displacements acquired in X-ray mammography provide sufficient constitutive information of the tumor and prove the usability and robustness of the proposed method and algorithm.

4. Elastography Method for Reconstruction of Nonlinear Breast Tissue Properties

Author: Z. G. Wang, Y. Liu, G. Wang, and L. Z. Sun
Subjects: Medical physics. Medical radiology. Nuclear medicine, R895-920, Medical technology, R855-855.5
Abstract: Elastography is developed as a quantitative approach to imaging linear elastic properties of tissues to detect suspicious tumors. In this paper a nonlinear elastography method is introduced for reconstruction of complex breast tissue properties. The elastic parameters are estimated by optimally minimizing the difference between the computed forces and experimental measures. A nonlinear adjoint method is derived to calculate the gradient of the objective function, which significantly enhances the numerical efficiency and stability. Simulations are conducted on a three-dimensional heterogeneous breast phantom extracting from real imaging including fatty tissue, glandular tissue, and tumors. An exponential-form of nonlinear material model is applied. The effect of noise is taken into account. Results demonstrate that the proposed nonlinear method opens the door toward nonlinear elastography and provides guidelines for future development and clinical application in breast cancer study.

5. Elasto-mammography: Theory, Algorithm, and Phantom Study

Author: Z. G. Wang, Y. Liu, L. Z. Sun, G. Wang, and L. L. Fajardo
Subjects: Medical physics. Medical radiology. Nuclear medicine, R895-920, Medical technology, R855-855.5
Abstract: A new imaging modality framework, called elasto-mammography, is proposed to generate the elastograms of breast tissues based on conventional X-ray mammography. The displacement information is extracted from mammography projections before and after breast compression. Incorporating the displacement measurement, an elastography reconstruction algorithm is specifically developed to estimate the elastic moduli of heterogeneous breast tissues. Case studies with numerical breast phantoms are conducted to demonstrate the capability of the proposed elasto-mammography. Effects of noise with measurement, geometric mismatch, and elastic contrast ratio are evaluated in the numerical simulations. It is shown that the proposed methodology is stable and robust for characterization of the elastic moduli of breast tissues from the projective displacement measurement.

6. Anisotropic Elastography for Local Passive Properties and Active Contractility of Myocardium from Dynamic Heart Imaging Sequence

Author: Yi Liu, Ge Wang, and L. Z. Sun
Subjects: Medical physics. Medical radiology. Nuclear medicine, R895-920, Medical technology, R855-855.5
Abstract: Major heart diseases such as ischemia and hypertrophic myocardiopathy are accompanied with significant changes in the passive mechanical properties and active contractility of myocardium. Identification of these changes helps diagnose heart diseases, monitor therapy, and design surgery. A dynamic cardiac elastography (DCE) framework is developed to assess the anisotropic viscoelastic passive properties and active contractility of myocardial tissues, based on the chamber pressure and dynamic displacement measured with cardiac imaging techniques. A dynamic adjoint method is derived to enhance the numerical efficiency and stability of DCE. Model-based simulations are conducted using a numerical left ventricle (LV) phantom with an ischemic region. The passive material parameters of normal and ischemic tissues are identified during LV rapid/reduced filling and artery contraction, and those of active contractility are quantified during isovolumetric contraction and rapid/reduced ejection. It is found that quasistatic simplification in the previous cardiac elastography studies may yield inaccurate material parameters.

7. First-principles study of native point defects in Bi2Se3

Subjects: Physics, QC1-999
Abstract: Using first-principles method within the framework of the density functional theory, we study the influence of native point defect on the structural and electronic properties of Bi2Se3. Se vacancy in Bi2Se3 is a double donor, and Bi vacancy is a triple acceptor. Se antisite (SeBi) is always an active donor in the system because its donor level (ɛ(+1/0)) enters into the conduction band. Interestingly, Bi antisite (BiSe1) in Bi2Se3 is an amphoteric dopant, acting as a donor when μe < 0.119 eV (the material is typical p-type) and as an acceptor when μe > 0.251 eV (the material is typical n-type). The formation energies under different growth environments (such as Bi-rich or Se-rich) indicate that under Se-rich condition, SeBi is the most stable native defect independent of electron chemical potential μe. Under Bi-rich condition, Se vacancy is the most stable native defect except for under the growth window as μe > 0.262 eV (the material is typical n-type) and ΔμSe < −0.459 eV (Bi-rich), under such growth window BiSe1 carrying one negative charge is the most stable one.

8. Two-dimensional dual topological insulator in hexagonal IrO

Subjects: two-dimensional material, dual topological character, topological insulators, first-principles calculations, Science, Physics, QC1-999
Abstract: Double topological insulators (DTIs) are systems with two kinds of nontrivial topological indexes. Three-dimensional materials with dual-topological character (DTC) have received extensive research, whereas two-dimensional (2D) DTIs have received less attention. In this paper, we propose a new 2D DTI IrO material by using first-principles calculations. Further calculation reveal it is energetically, dynamically, and mechanically stable. There is a direct band gap in the electronic band structures with and without spin–orbit coupling (SOC), and a SOC-induced band inversion occurs at the M point. Based on the symmetry analysis and the k · p model, the topological invariant Z _2 and mirror Chern number C _m are determined to be nontrivial. The DTC is supported further by the different behavior of the edge states with and without the mirror symmetry breaking. Our theoretical prediction broadens the domain of candidate 2D DTIs in terms of topological manifestations as well as material realization.

10. Ideal topological phononic nodal chain in K2O materials class

Subjects: nodal chain, topological semimetal, phonon, Science, Physics, QC1-999
Abstract: Nodal-chain semimetals are characterized by linked nodal rings in Brillouin zone and they have not been reported in the phonon system of atomic crystals yet. Here, based on first-principles calculations and tight-binding model analysis, we propose nearly ideal nodal chains can be realized in the phonon modes of experimentally synthesized ionic crystal K _2 O materials class. Different from all previous cases, the connection points of the nodal chain in K _2 O are located at the high symmetry points W and the positions are limited by the symmetries. The nodal rings that forming the nodal chain are symmetrically equivalent and protected by the mirror symmetries. The nontrivial topological properties of nodal chains are validated by the nontrivial Berry phase and surface modes. A general discussion about all symmorphic space groups reveals that, if no more than two inequivalent mirrors exist, Fm $\bar{3}$ m (No. 225) is a unique space group for the appearance of the nodal chain connected at the high symmetry points. Our studies demonstrate that K _2 O materials class is a wonderful implementable platform to study the nontrivial topological nodal chains in a phonon system.

11. New type of hybrid nodal line semimetal in Be2Si

Subjects: topological semimetal, hybrid nodal line, kp model, surface states, Science, Physics, QC1-999
Abstract: Following Dirac and Weyl semimetals, nodal line semimetals represent a new type of topological semimetal and attracted extensive interest in modern condensed matter physics. Recently, a kind of hybrid nodal lines have been proposed (Zhang et al 2018 Phys. Rev. B 97 125143) and it mainly come from anisotropy interaction. Based on the first-principle calculations and k·p model, we predict a cubic Be _2 Si with topological nontrivial electronic states exhibiting fascinating type-I and type-II hybrid nodal line around Fermi level. Unexpectedly the low energy electronic states of Be _2 Si are isotropy in k _x and k _y directions and a new effective model has been proposed for the appearance of this new type hybrid nodal line. The four-fold degenerated type-I and type-II nodal points in the hybrid nodal lines along the high symmetry lines of Γ– K and Γ– X are protected by mirror reflection, time reversal and space inversion symmetry. The spin–orbit coupling effect only induces slight band gap in the hybrid nodal lines in Be _2 Si whose nontrivial nature remains. Moreover, the nontrivial hybrid nodal lines in Be _2 Si are robust to external strain. The results in present work indicate that Be _2 Si are promising candidates for future experimental studies of nontrivial topological semimetals and an excellent platform to study the interaction between the two types Dirac fermions.

Abstract: Although prostate cancer patients initially respond to androgen deprivation therapy, they eventually progress to lethal castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), characterized by restoration of the androgen receptor (AR) signaling despite castrate levels of circulating androgens. Mechanisms proposed to underlie CRPC include AR crosstalk with alternative signaling pathways. Among these, the Sonic hedgehog (SHH)Hedgehog (HH) pathway, an essential signaling axis in prostate development and homeostasis, has been implicated in prostate cancerCRPC progression. SHH pathway is regulated by transcription factors and effectors Glioma-associated oncogene family zinc finger (GLI) proteins 1, 2, and 3. Previous studies reported that GLI1 and GLI2 drive androgen-independent growth of prostate cancer by upregulating androgen-stimulated genes. However, whether and how GLI3 plays a role in prostate cancer progression remains unclear. In the present study, we investigated the role of GLI3 in the progression of prostate cancer cells. Like GLI2, GLI3 is the a downstream transcriptional factor effector of the SHH signaling pathway that can exist as a full-length activator form or a cleaved repressor form. Our data showed an increase in GLI3 expression in prostate cancer cells growing under androgen deprived conditions. Thuserefore, we hypothesize that androgen deprivation leads to activation of the SHH signaling pathway which consequently activates GLI3 to promote androgen-independent growth of prostate cancer cells. We showed that knockdown of GLI3 repressed while overexpression of GLI3 promoted androgen-independent growth of prostate cancer cells. GLI3 knockdown also resulted in regression of castration-resistant outgrowth of xenograft tumors in mice. Additionally, transcriptomic analysis of GLI3 knockdown cells revealed that the SHH signaling pathway and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) genes are altered suggesting that GLI3 regulates androgen-independent growth of prostate cancer cells through canonical SHH signaling pathway and likely contributes to prostate cancer metastasis. Lastly, our data demonstrated a physical and functional relationship between GLI3 and AR suggesting a functional crosstalk between SHH signaling and AR signaling pathways in advanced prostate cancer.

17. Abstract P1-06-04: Bisphenol A treatment induces hyperplasia in primary and stem cell-generated mammary glands from pregnant mice

Subjects: Cancer Research, Oncology
Abstract: Breast cancer is a commonly diagnosed cancer of pregnancy. However, how endogenous and exogenous endocrine factors may contribute to the development of pregnancy-associated mammary tumorigenesis is not clear. There is growing evidence that mammary stem cells (MaSCs) may initiate neoplastic transformation when dysregulated in mouse models. We investigated the effect of the environmental endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA) on mouse mammary gland morphology, epithelial cell composition, pre-neoplastic lesions, and the regenerative function of MaSCs. Pregnant FVB mice with GFP transgene on Day E8.5 were implanted with osmotic pumps that constantly release BPA at 0, 25 or 250 ng/kg/day for 28 days and the mice were euthanized one month after weaning. In agreement with the literature, we observed an abnormality of the morphology of the mammary gland after BPA treatment characterized by higher duct density and abnormal secondary and tertiary branching. Quantification of percent hyperplastic mammary ducts in H&E-stained tissue slides revealed a significant increase of ducts with hyperplastic lesions after BPA treatment, particularly with the low dose. To investigate the effects of BPA treatment on MaSCs, we used enzyme digestion to isolate the CD24hi/CD49f+ luminal epithelial cells (also termed as colony forming cell or CFC) and the CD24+/CD49fhi basal epithelial cells (also termed as mammary repopulating unit or MRU) from mammary gland tissues by FACS and found no significant difference in percent of luminal or basal cell population after BPA treatment. Because the basal cells are enriched with MaSCs that can form mammospheres in suspension culture and subsequently form solid 3D organoids when cultured in Matrigel, we transplanted the solid 3D organoids into cleared mammary fat pads of syngeneic FVB mice and immune-compromised nude mice to examine how BPA treatment might alter MaSC function. Significantly, similar to the results from the primary mammary glands, the regenerated mammary glands by MaSCs from mice treated with the low dose of BPA showed increased duct density, secondary and tertiary branching, and a significantly greater number of hyperplastic lesions. Taken together, our study demonstrated that BPA exposure at very low dose could induce pre-neoplastic lesions in the mammary gland of pregnant mice, apparently by directly targeting MaSCs and implicates BPA as an exogenous endocrine factor that may promote pregnancy-associated mammary tumorigenesis.

Abstract: To investigate the activation of the BMP7 and laminin pathway is associated with glioma cell proliferation and differentiation.We enrolled 65 patients with primary operable glioma. Laminin and BMP7 protein expression and its subcellular localization were studied by immunofluorescence.We detected a higher level of BMP7 expression in glioma tissue in patients with a lower grade of glioma who had a lower eosinophil count. Compared to patients with a higher grade of glioma, we observed a lower level of laminin expression in patients with a lower grade of glioma.Our data indicated a potential link between eosinophil counts and the expression levels of laminin and BMP7 in glioma differentiation.

Abstract: Aortic arch reconstruction is one of the most challenging operations in aortic surgery. Anatomical abnormalities of the aortic arch, including bovine aortic arch, aberrant right subclavian artery, and single vertebral artery have direct impact on the choice of surgical procedures and methods of brain protection.The risk of aortic arch reconstruction and the difficulty of operation, it is possible to avoid the injury of patients by strictly grasping the indication of operation. Intraoperative arterial cannulation and brain protection strategies are directly related to the success of the operation. This article makes a brief review of the above problems in the reconstruction of the aortic arch, hoping to be helpful to the cardiovascular surgeon.主动脉弓部重建是主动脉手术中最具挑战性的操作。主动脉弓部的解剖畸形包括牛型主动脉弓、迷走右锁骨下动脉、单发椎动脉，对手术方式选择和脑保护方法有直接影响。主动脉弓部重建术的风险和手术难度较大，严格掌握指征可以降低手术风险。手术中动脉插管和脑保护策略直接关系到手术能否成功。本文对主动脉弓部重建过程中上述问题作一简要综述，希望对心血管外科医师能有所帮助。.

Abstract: In recent 20 years, the rapid development of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection in China has been mainly due to three aspects: (1) the refined classification of aortic dissection based on Stanford classification, (2) right axillary artery canal and selective cerebral perfusion technology become basic cardiopulmonary bypass strategy for Stanford type A aortic dissection, and (3) total aortic arch replacement and descending aortic stent graft surgery (Sun's surgery) become the standard treatment of Stanford type A aortic dissection. However, there are still many problems in the diagnosis and treatment of aortic dissection in China, such as: (1) unstandardized, lack of comprehensive guidelines of aortic dissection, (2) immature, perioperative organ protection and intraoperative blood protection technology remains a big flaw, and (3) it takes a long time to get patient prepared for surgery. In conclusion, as to the issue of the management of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection, there will be a long way for Chinese doctors to go. Peers should pay more attention to this problem and take more efforts, so that the outcome of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection surgical patients can be improved.近20多年来，我国急性Stanford A型主动脉夹层诊疗取得了飞速发展，主要得益于三方面的进步，分别是在Stanford分型的基础上提出了我国主动脉夹层的细化分型，右腋动脉插管心肺转流及选择性脑灌注技术成为Stanford A型主动脉夹层手术心肺转流基础策略，全主动脉弓替换及降主动脉支架象鼻人工血管置入术(孙氏手术)成为治疗Stanford A型主动脉夹层的标准术式。然而，我国主动脉夹层诊疗工作还存在诸多问题亟待解决，主要为"不规范""不成熟""不及时" ，即缺乏完整全面的、能够体现主动脉夹层诊疗特点的规范或指南，围手术期器官保护和术中血液保护技术仍有较大缺陷，患者从发病到手术所需时间较长。我国急性Stanford A型主动脉夹层的诊治任重道远，只有汇聚更多同仁的才智与力量，才能取得进一步的发展，让更多患者受益。.

Abstract: Cattle obtain water primarily from the moisture in their feed and from drinking water. On pasture, the moisture content of the diet is influenced by plant tis- sue water (internal water) and surface moisture (external water), which may include dew, guttation, and intercepted rain, that influence the drinking water requirement. This study investigated the relationship between daily drinking water intake (DWI, L/d) of steers on pasture (19 steers with mean initial BW of approximately 400 kg) and soil and weather factors that are known to affect plant water status (dry matter content) and surface moisture forma- tion and persistence. Daily records of weather conditions and DWI were obtained during 2 grazing seasons with contrasting spring, summer, and autumn rainfall patterns. Plant available water in the soil (PAW, mm) was mod- eled from actual and potential evapotranspiration and the water-holding capacity of the soil. The DWI averaged over the herd varied among days from 0 to 29 L/d (graz- ing season mean 9.8 L/d). The DWI on both dry ( 2 mm) days increased with increasing temperature (mean, maximum, and minimum), sunshine hours, and global radiation and decreasing relative humidity, and the slopes and coefficients of determination were generally greater for wet days. Wind reduced DWI on wet days but had no effect on dry days. The DWI was reduced by up to 4.4 L/d on wet days compared to dry days, but DWI did not correlate with rainfall amount. Increasing PAW decreased DWI by up to >10 L/d on both dry and wet days. These results are all consistent with environmental effects on the water status (dry matter content) of pasture vegetation and canopy surface moisture, the associated effects on grazing-related water intake, and the corre- sponding balancing changes of DWI. Using the observed relationships with environmental factors, we derived a new model predicting DWI for any soil moisture con- dition, for both wet and dry days, which included mean ambient temperature and relative humidity and explained virtually all variation of DWI that was not caused by the random scatter among individual animals.

Abstract: An analysis of and B-+/- -> DK +/- and B-+/- -> D pi(+/-) decays is presented where the D meson is reconstructed in the four-body final state K-+/-pi(-/+)pi(+)pi(-). Using LHCb data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb(-1), first observations are made of the suppressed ADS modes B-+/- ->[pi K-+/-(-/+)pi(+)pi(-)](D)K-+/- and B +/- -> [pi K-+/-(-/+)pi(+)pi(-)](D)pi(+/-) with a significance of 5.1 sigma and greater than 10 sigma, respectively. Measurements of CP asymmetries and CP-conserving ratios of partial widths from this family of decays are also performed. The magnitude of the ratio between the suppressed and favoured B-+/- -> DK +/- amplitudes is determined to be r(B)(K) = 0.097 +/- 0.011. (c) 2013 CERN. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: We used a rat model to assess the role of nephrin, podocin, and desmin in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). A rat IgAN model was established by administration of BSA, CCl4, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and compared with healthy control rats. Urinary protein, urine red blood cells, and biochemical parameters were measured for 12 weeks. Renal morphology and ultrastructure were examined by light and electron microscopy. Immunofluorescence was used to assess IgA deposition in the glomeruli and to measure expression of nephrin, podocin, and desmin. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to measure expression of nephrin, podocin, and desmin mRNAs. IgAN rats developed proteinuria at week-6 and this worsened over time. Pathological changes were evident under light microscopy at week-8 and under electron microscopy at week-4. Immunofluorescence analysis showed deposition of IgA in the kidneys of IgAN rats, but not control rats. IgAN rats had increased expression of glomerular podocin, nephrin, and desmin mRNAs and proteins at week-4. The expression of nephrin, podocin and desmin proteins and the expression of podocin and desmin mRNAs preceded the increase in urinary protein. Taken together, our study of a rat model of IgAN indicates that changes in the expression and distribution of nephrin, podocin, and desmin precede and may cause foot process fusion and proteinuria.

Abstract: Breast cancer (BCa) is the most common malignant disease in women in the U.S. Nearly 20% of patients with advanced BCa are eventually diagnosed with brain lesions, which is a devastating complication in patients with BCa over-expressing EGF receptor family members including Her2 positive and triple negative breast cancer. It is the most feared complication of BCa in part because are not capable of significantly treating the BCa-induced brain metastases due to the inability of the available treatment regimens to effectively penetrate the blood brain barrier (BBB) and also due to our limited knowledge on cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive the homing to and growth in the brain of BCa cells. Therefore, there is a need of efficient model system that can significantly contribute towards our understanding of different factors from both host and tumor leading to brain metastasis. We have recently isolated a novel BCa cell line B6TC that was generated through fusion between human BCa, MDA-MB-231 and ZR-75-1 cells in mouse bone marrow. This B6TC cell line showed higher propensity to metastasize to brain than its parental cells when inoculated through intracardiac injection in female athymic nude mice. In order to generate a highly brain metastatic breast cancer model for mechanistic research, we subjected the B6TC cells through four rounds of selection for cells that were capable of trans-endothelial cell invasion to obtain cells that could invade through BBB. This in vitro selected cell line was further subjected through three rounds of in vivo selection for cells that were capable of metastasizing to the brain and the cells after third round selection was named N3LR, which has the highest potential to cause brain metastasis. In searching for genes and pathways that may contribute to the increased brain metastasis of N3-LR cell with microarray analysis, we found that the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ) signaling pathway is upregulated in N3-LR cell in comparison with B6TC cell, in addition to the EGF and prostaglandin signaling pathways that have been reported to be associated with brain metastatic breast cancer cells. Functional comparison also showed that N3-LR cell was more migratory than B6TC cell and more responsive to TGFβ-induced phosphorylation of Smad3 as well as migration, suggesting that TGFβ signaling may contribute to the increased brain metastatic potential. We next investigated whether metastatic tumor growth in the brain microenvironment can be inhibited by systemic administration of a potent pan-TGFβ inhibitor, BGERII- a recombinant fusion protein containing the endoglin domain of betaglycan (BGE) and the extracellular domain of RII. The animals were inoculated intracardically with N3LR, the most potent subline of highly metastatic B6TC cells, and were then treated with vehicle or BGERII systemically via i.p. injection right after the inoculation. After three weeks, the BGERII treated group showed lower brain metastasis incidence and tumor burden as detected by whole mouse bioluminescence and GFP imaging. Further analyses to understand the underlying molecular and regulatory mechanism of brain metastasis and its intervention in our mouse model is underway for the discovery of novel molecularly targeted drugs to prevent and eradicate BCa metastasis initiation, progression and recurrence.

Abstract: To investigate the incidence and risk factors of acute renal failure (ARF) after operation of frozen elephant trunk and total arch replacement for acute thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) with mild hypothermic circulatory arrest (MHCA), and to analyze the long-term survival rate of the patients with ARF.From February 2009 to March 2015, patients with acute TAAD accepted operation of frozen elephant trunk and total arch replacement were enrolled. Those patients who were treated with renal replacement treatment (RRT) before the operation were excluded. The age, gender, cardiovascular disease history, preoperative serum creatinine and extracorporeal circulation duration in operation were recorded. On the basis of requiring RRT after TAAD operation, the patients were divided into ARF group and non-ARF group. The risk factors of ARF after TAAD operation were assessed by univariate and multivariate analysis. After completion of clinical follow-up, Kaplan-Meier curve was drawn to analyze five-year survival.A total of 524 patients were included in the study. 51 cases of them got postoperative ARF. The incidence was 9.7%. The mortality rate of ARF group in the hospital was significantly higher than non-ARF group (25.5% vs. 3.6%; p0.001). Univariate analysis showed that there was statistically significant difference in the age, gender, hypertension history, preoperative serum creatinine ≥200 µmol/L, extracorporeal circulation duration ≥260 min and combined with coronary artery bypass surgery simultaneously (p0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that there were three independent risk factors of ARF after the operation, including hypertension (p=0.031, OR=2.377), preoperative serum creatinine ≥200 µmol/L (p=0.005, OR=4.451) and extracorporeal circulation duration ≥260 min (p=0.002, OR=3.295). The total five-year survival rate of ARF group after the operation was 56%. There was no statistically significant difference in the five-year survival rate between preoperative serum creatinine ≥200 µmol/L group and200 µmol/L group (p0.05).The incidence of ARF after the operation was 9.7%. Preoperative serum creatinine ≥200 µmol/L, hypertension history and extracorporeal circulation duration ≥260 min were independent risk factors of ARF after the operation. The five-year survival rate of ARF after the operation was 56%. The preoperative serum creatinine level had no influence on the postoperative long-term survival.

Abstract: To evaluate the efficacy of simultaneous thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) on abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patients complicating acute aortic syndrome (AAS).Data of 17 patients (16 men, mean age (65.2±6.9) years old) , who underwent simultaneous TEVAR and EVAR between September 2010 and June 2015 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital, were retrospectively reviewed.All patients were diagnosed with concomitant AAA and AAS by preoperative CTA.All abdominal aortic lesions were AAA and all thoracic aortic lesions were AAS.Under local anesthesia, simultaneous TEVAR and EVAR were performed and emergent simultaneous endovascular repair was performed in 2 patients.Follow up was made at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and yearly after the procedure.Procedure success rate, procedure related complications were evaluated.Procedure was successful in all patients.The length of thoracic coverage was (21.0±4.6) cm.The operation time was 150(120, 170) min, and the hospitalization time was 7 (6, 12) d. After a mean of 27.0(5.5, 44.5) months follow up, there were no acute cardiopulmonary complications and contrast induced nephropathy.One patient developed spinal cord ischemia and resolved after treatment.One patient was died for aneurysm rupture at 6 months post operation.One patient developed type Ⅰb endoleak for expansion of right iliac artery at 9 months post operation and was successfully sealed by iliac stent-graft extension.Combined TEVAR and EVAR can be performed successfully in patients with AAA complicating AAS.When anatomically feasible, simultaneous TEVAR and EVAR can be considered as a effective and safe therapy alternative to patients with multilevel aortic diseases.

Abstract: To study the relationship between renal failure and severe postoperative hypoxemia of patients received surgical procedure for Stanford A aortic dissection.Clinical data of 411 consecutive patients from January 2014 to April 2015, who received surgical procedure for Stanford A aortic dissection in Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of Beijing Anzhen Hospital, were collected retrospectively. The appearance of severe postoperative hypoxemia was recorded in all the cases. All the data about potential prognostic factors was put into the database and analyzed by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression respectively.Severe postoperative hypoxemia (PO2/FiO2100 mmHg, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) happened on 69 cases within 48 hours after procedures, with the incidence rate of 17.1%. Both univariate and multivariate Logistic regression indicated the influence that preoperative creatinine clearance rate had on severe postoperative hypoxemia showed no statistical significance. However, the influence of preoperative serum creatinine showed statistical significance (OR=1.009, 95%CI: 1.000 to 1.018, P=0.048).The preoperative creatinine clearance rate of patients has no direct relationship with severe postoperative hypoxemia. But the preoperative serum creatinine could be regarded as an independent predictor of severe postoperative hypoxemia.

Abstract: A search is performed for a Higgs boson produced in association with a Z boson and decaying into two photons, using the L3 data collected at LEP at a centre-of-mass energy of 189 GeV. All decay modes of the Z are considered. No signal is observed and limits on the branching fraction of the Higgs boson decay into two photons as a function of the Higgs mass are derived assuming a Standard Model production rate. A lower limit on the mass of a fermiophobic Higgs is set at 94.9 GeV at 95% confidence level., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: The Standard Model Higgs boson is searched for in 233.2 pb−1 of data collected by the L3 detector at centre of mass energies from 192 GeV to 202 GeV. These data are consistent with the expectations of Standard Model processes and no evidence of a Higgs signal is observed. A lower limit on the mass of the Standard Model Higgs boson of 107.0 GeV is set at the 95% confidence level., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: The S matrix ansatz is a rigorously model independent approach to describe the cross-sections and asymmetries in e+e- annihilation. Using the cross-sections and asymmetries measured with the L3 detector during the 1990 and 1991 running period, we determine the mass and the width of the Z boson, the contributions of the Z exchange and of the yZ interference. Including the polarization of the t lepton in the analysis, the leptonic helicity amplitudes of the scattering process are determined assuming lepton universality. The results are compared with other model independent ansatzes as realized in ZFITTER. A systematic bias of the Z mass due to the yZ interference term is detected, which leads to an underestimation of the error on mz for model independent determinations., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: The process eqeyaWqWyg is analysed using the data collected with the L3 detector at LEP at a centre-of-mass energy of 188.6 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 176.8 pby1 . Based on a sample of 42 selected WqWy candidates containing an isolated hard photon, the WqWyg cross section, defined within phase-space cuts, is measured to q y be: s WW s290"80"16 fb, consistent with the Standard Model expectation. Including the process e e anngg, limits g are derived on anomalous contributions to the Standard Model quartic vertices WqWygg and WqWyZg at 95% CL: y0.043 GeVy2-a rL2-0.043 GeVy2 , y0.08 GeVy2-a rL2-0.13 GeVy2 , y0.41 GeVy2-a rL2-0.37 GeVy2, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: We present results obtained from a study of the structure of hadronic events recorded by the L3 detector at various centre-of-mass energies. The distributions of event shape variables and the energy dependence of their mean values are measured from 30 GeV to 189 GeV and compared with various QCD models. The energy dependence of the moments of event shape variables is used to test a power law ansatz for the non-perturbative component. We obtain a universal value of Ž 2 the non-perturbative parameter a s 0.537 ± 0.073. From a comparison with resummed O(αs2)QCD calculations, we 0 s determine the strong coupling constant at each of the selected energies. The measurements demonstrate the running of αs as expected in QCD with a value of αs(mZ) = 0.1215 ± 0.0012 (exp) ± 0.0061 (th)., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: Extra spatial dimensions are proposed by recent theories that postulate the scale of gravity to be of the same order as the electroweak scale. A sizeable interaction between gravitons and Standard Model particles is then predicted. Effects of these new interactions in boson and fermion pair production are searched for in the data sample collected at centre-of-mass energies above the Z pole by the L3 detector at LEP. In addition, the direct production of a graviton associated with a Z boson is investigated. No statistically significant hints for the existence of these effects are found and lower limits in excess of 1 TeV are derived on the scale of this new theory of gravity, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: We investigated the effects of small interference RNA (siRNA) on the cell proliferation inhibition, sensitivity to radiotherapy effects and cell apoptosis. The siRNA used here was specific to the pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTG).Vectors containing the specific functional siRNAs for PTTG were designed and constructed. Cells were divided into four groups: (I) blank control group; (II) radiotherapy group: cells were exposed to X-ray radiation; (III) Group PTTG siRNA: transfected with PTTG siRNA; (IV) PTTG siRNA+ radiotherapy group: transfected with PTTG siRNA and then were exposed to X-ray radiation. HEC-1A cells were transfected by the specific interfering plasmids using Lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent. The PTTG protein expression levels were analyzed using Western blot Cell proliferation was examined by MTT assay and the HEC-1A cell line apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry.Recombinant small interference RNA (siRNA) expression vectors targeting PTTG were successfully constructed. The results of MTT showed that the growth of the HEC-1A cell was negatively influenced after cells were transfected with PTTG siRNA. Furthermore, PTTG siRNA combined with radiotherapy demonstrated more powerful inhibitory effects. Cell apoptosis rates were significantly increased in the radiotherapy group and the PTTG siRNA transfection group when compared to the control group. A more pronounced cell apoptosis rate was observed in the group that was treated with PTTG siRNA combined with radiotherapy.Recombinant small interference RNA (siRNA) expression vector targeting PTTG successfully inhibited the cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in endometrial carcinoma cells and increased the cancer cells vulnerability to the effects of radiation.

Abstract: To evaluate the application value of evoked potentials (EP) monitoring in patients undergoing aorta-iliac bypass for total thoracoabdominal aorta aneurysm repair (tTAAAR).A prospective study, with a total of 31 patients undergoing tTAAAR and intraoperative EP monitoring from June 2014 to April 2015 was carried out. The results of intraoperative evoked potentials, clinical outcomes and follow-up data of patients were collected for further evaluation.The EP wave disappeared [motor evoked potentials for (55.6±18.1) min, somatosensory evoked potentials for (50.3±18.7) min] after proximal descending aorta being clamped, and gradually recovered after the segment arteries of spine cord were reconstructed. The EP wave was restored to normal level at the end of operation in all the cases. The somatosensory evoked potentials remained unchanged in 2 cases (false negative). One case died after operation. No spinal cord injury occurred. The median follow-up after operation was 10 months (5-14 months). There was no delayed neurological deficit.EP provided an on-line monitoring of the condition of spinal cord function, which become an intraoperative protocol to avoid the irreversible injury of spinal cord.

Abstract: To study the risk factors of severe postoperative hypoxemia after surgery for Standford type A aortic dissection and establish a prediction model.Data of 411 consecutive patients from January 2014 to April 2015, who underwent surgery for Standford type A aortic dissection in the department of cardiovascular surgery of Beijing Anzhen Hospital, were retrospectively analyzed. All the cases were divided into two groups according to the appearance of severe postoperative hypoxemia. All the data about potential risk factors was put into the database and analyzed by logistic regression. The prediction model was then established upon acquired independent risk factors. Discrimination and calibration of the prediction model were assessed with ROC curve and Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness of fit test.The perioperative in-hospital mortality was 6.57%(27/411). Severe postoperative hypoxemia (PaO2/FiO2≤100 mmHg) happened in 69 cases within 48 hours after procedures, with an incidence rate of 17.1%. The logistic regression demonstrated that body mass index (BMI), age, preoperative serum myoglobin, preoperative serum creatinine, preoperative serumalanine aminotransferase, the time of cardiopulmonary bypass, re-exploration within 48 hours after procedures were the independent risk factors for severe postoperative hypoxemia. The prediction model was then established based on these independent risk factors. The area under ROC curve of the model was 0.785, and the P value in Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness of fit test was 0.625.The logsitic model built in this study succeeded to predict the incidence of severe postoperative hypoxemia after surgery for Standford type A aortic dissection, and it could meet the doctors' requirement with its excellent discrimination and calibration.

Abstract: Increasing evidence suggest that tumors with a cell origin of more basal or stem-like sources are often highly metastatic and associated with poor prognosis. Identification of the cell of origin thus has important implications for development of new preventive and therapeutic approaches. To identifying the cells of origin of various breast cancers, understanding the normal cellular hierarchy within the breast tissue is an important prerequisite. However, current understanding of normal mammary stem/progenitor cell is limited due to the lack of a robust in vitro assay. The newly developed cell surface markers (CD24+CD49fhi) can only be used for low percent of enrichment. The only gold standard assay for functional evaluation of stem cell property is the in vivo transplantation of cleared mammary fat pad assay, yet this assay is expensive, time consuming, and requires highly trained skills, and thus cannot be used routinely for experiments. The goal of our study is thus to develop a robust in vitro assay to qualify and quantify murine mammary stem/progenitor cells. Our rationale lies on our recent findings of in vitro study of different fractions of murine stem/progenitor cells. When we use isolated primary epithelial cells for in vitro mammosphere formation, we found that stem cell enriched fraction and progenitor cell enriched fraction both formed very small mammospheres (≤ 50 μm) and these spheres appear to be of clonal origin (one cell gives rise to one sphere). When we plated these small spheres into 3D extracellular matrix for colony formation, however, they gave rise to two distinct structures: stem-enriched fraction generated predominately solid structure while progenitor-enriched fraction is dominated by hollow structures. Previous studies have linked the solid structure to the basal/myoepithelial lineage and the hollow structure to the luminal lineage. We thus suspected that the small mammospheres derived from the stem or progenitor enriched fractions could be originated from single stem or progenitor cell, and the number of spheres could indicate the number of original stem/progenitor cells within these enriched fractions. Subsequent in vivo transplantation with single sphere or single solid structure cultured in 3D extracellular matrix derived from green fluorescent protein transgenic mice proved that single sphere or 3D solid structure can repopulate the gland-free mammary fat pad. To conclude, the in vitro mammosphere formation in combination with subsequent differentiation in 3D extracellular matrix can be used as a robust in vitro assay for qualification and quantification of murine mammary stem/progenitor cells. This in vitro assay will greatly facilitate our understanding of genes regulate stem cell self-renewal, proliferation, differentiation as well as mechanisms keeping them at quiescent state within the niche.

Abstract: Taking advantage of the generalized Galerkin potential function and the Fourier transform, the research presented in this paper first derives the Green’s function for a multilayered heterogeneous thin film system. The area-integral expression for the stresses induced by a dislocation loop in the heterogeneous thin film system is formulated into a line-integral representation on the basis of a corollary of the Green’s theorem, which makes the accurate calculation of the dislocation stress field feasible and practical. A decomposition scheme is further presented to address the numerical singularity issue encountered in the calculation of dislocation stresses on the slip plane. Numerical results demonstrate that the layered heterogeneity of materials has considerable influence on the stress field induced by dislocation loops.

Abstract: Drospirenone is a novel progestogen that, combined with 17β-estradiol, reduces the frequency and severity of menopausal vasomotor symptoms (VMS) in different populations. This double-blind, multicenter study compared the efficacy, safety and tolerability of 2 mg drospirenone/1 mg estradiol (DRSP/E2) vs. placebo in Chinese postmenopausal women with moderate to severe VMS.Women, aged 45-65 years, were randomized to DRSP/E2 (n=183) or placebo (n=61) once daily for four 28-day cycles. Changes in the frequency and severity of hot flushes were analyzed as primary variables, together with other climacteric and urogenital symptoms, clinical global improvement, adverse events and physical/gynecological parameters.Relative changes in numbers of hot flushes/week were -80.4% for DRSP/E2 vs. -51.9% for placebo (treatment difference -28.5%, p0.0001). There were trends toward a greater reduction in severity of hot flushes with DRSP/E2 treatment. Patients treated with DRSP/E2 were more often free from sweating episodes (p0.0001) and vaginal dryness (p=0.0008). Other climacteric symptoms, including nervousness and pollakisuria, followed a trend of greater response with DRSP/E2. Similar to other combination HRT regimens, DRSP/E2 increased occurrences of bleeding, but these decreased over time. Adverse events in patients treated with DRSP/E2 were mostly mild to moderate and withdrawal rates were low.Daily treatment of postmenopausal Chinese women with DRSP/E2 for 16 weeks significantly reduced the incidence of hot flushes and demonstrated advantages vs. placebo for other climacteric symptoms. These results indicate that DRSP/E2 is effective, safe and well tolerated in postmenopausal Chinese women.

Abstract: Rapamycin analogs (rapalogs) inhibit mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and are known to cause induction of autophagy and G1 cell cycle arrest. However, it remains unknown whether rapalog-induced autophagy plays a critical role in its regulation of cell cycle. We, for the first time, found that rapalog everolimus could stimulate autophagy-mediated Cyclin D1 degradation in breast cancer cells. Inhibiting mTOR with everolimus rapidly increased the degradation of Cyclin D1 in MCF-10DCIS.COM and MCF-7 cells. 3-Methyladenine (3-MA), a classic autophagy inhibitor, could attenuate everolimus-induced Cyclin D1 degradation. Furthermore, knockdown of autophagy related gene 7 (Atg-7) could also repress everolimus-triggered degradation of Cyclin D1 in MCF-10DCIS.COM. Moreover, everolimus-induced autophagy occurred earlier than its induction of G1 arrest and cell death. Blockade of autophagy attenuated everolimus-induced G1 cell cycle arrest. These preliminary data support the conclusion that the autophagy induced by rapalogs in breast cancer cells appears to cause Cyclin D1 protein degradation resulting in G1 cell cycle arrest. Our findings contribute to our knowledge of the interplay between autophagy and cell cycle regulation mediated by mTOR signaling and Cyclin D1 regulation.

Abstract: To evaluate the factors that may have an impact on the prognosis of ischemic stroke.The study included 973 patients who were diagnosed with an ischemic stroke. The patients were divided into 6 groups according their eosinophil counts' level and occurred times. All patients were supervised by NIHSS score in three months.Baseline characteristics of all study groups were comparable. Thirty-four patients in group 2 and group 5 had higher eosinophil counts. In addition, the patients experienced impaired function on the face, but no impairment of limbs. All patients in these groups recovered quicker than the other groups (p0.05). Furthermore, 169 patients in both group 3 and group 6 had lower eosinophil counts. These patients experienced functional impairment in limbs and difficulty recovering from the disease. The NIHSS score was lower in both group 2 and group 5, compared with group 3 and group 6 (p0.05).This study suggests that eosinophil counts may have a significant impact on outcomes in stroke patients. The data underscore the importance in further investigating eosinophil dysregulation as well as the potential relationship between eosinophil dysregulation and organ functions in stroke patients.
