Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronically relapsing inflammatory skin disease that often has asthma and allergic rhinitis. Magnesium salts, the important component of minerals in Dead Sea water, are known to exhibit beneficial effects in inflammatory disease. Favorable effects of magnesium ions and sea water treated to the skin of patients with contact dermatitis have been reported. But histological and immunological investigations are insufficient. This study was performed to examine the inhibitory effect of magnesium-rich sea mineral water on the development of AD-like skin lesions in hairless mice. AD-like skin lesions are induced by the repeated application of 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). Local application of magnesium-rich sea mineral water on hairless mice skin applied with DNCB inhibited the development of AD-like skin lesions as exemplified by a significant increase in skin hydration (p<0.01), and a decrease in epidermal water loss (p<0.01). Serum IgE level was also significantly decreased (p<0.01). These results suggest that magnesiumrich sea mineral water inhibits the development of DNCB-induced AD-like skin lesions in hairless mice. These observations indicate that magnesium-rich sea mineral water may be alternative and assistant substances for the management of AD. 아토피성 피부염은 주로 천식과 비염 등을 동반하는, 주위에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 만성 염증성 피부질환으로 유전학적, 환경적, 면역학적 요인이 복잡하게 연관되어 발병한다. 해수에 포함된 마그네슘염은 피부에 작용하여 피부장벽을 보호하는 것으로 알려지고 그에 대한 면역학적인 연구와 조직학적 연구는 아직 부족한 실정이다. 이번 연구에서는 피부염을 인위적으로 일으키는 hapten 형성물질인 DNCB를 hairless mice에 도포하여 아토피 피부염 동물 모델로 만든 후, 마그네슘이 다량 함유된 해양 미네랄수를 처리한 후 피부장벽에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. DNCB로 피부염을 유발한 hairless mice에 해양미네랄수를 국소적으로 도포하였을 때 유의한 피부수분함량이 증가와 경피수분손실의 감소를 확인하였다 (p<0.01). 피부측정에서 피부거칠기(skin roughness, p<0.05)와 스케일생성 (skin scaliness, p<0.01)은 실험군에서 유의한 개선효과를 나타내었으며 조직학적 검사에서도 피부손상지수의 유의한 감소 (p<0.01)와 비만세포와 (p<0.01) 호산구의 감소(p<0.05) 소견을 보였고 또한 혈청 IgE의 감소를 관찰할 수 있었다(p<0.01). 이상과 같이 마그네슘이 다량 함유된 해양 미네랄수 도포는 피부장벽의 손상을 줄이고 피부수분손실을 효과적으로 줄임으로 아토피성 피부염 증상 유발을 억제할수 있음을 확인하였다. 현재까지 아토피성 피부염의 관리를 위하여 세라마이드나 식물성 오일의 보습제가 주로 활용되고 있는 상황에서 부가적인 피부장벽의 보호를 위하여 탈염 해양 미네랄수의 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단되며 장기적으로 아토피 피부염치료의 대체, 혹은 보조적 물질로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Xu, Xiu-Feng,Jeon, Jong Yeol,Choi, Mi Hwa,Kim, Hee Young,Choi, Won Choon,Park, Yong-Ki The Chemical Society of Japan 2005 Chemistry letters Vol.34 No.3

<P>γ-Al<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> is one of the most active catalysts for hydrolytic decomposition of PFCs but it has been suffered from deactivation. The main reason for the deactivation was the transformation of catalytically active γ-phase into an inactive α-phase by the HF produced during the decomposition of PFCs. To prohibit the phase transformation, structure modifiers such as ZnAl<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB> and AlPO<SUB>4</SUB> were strongly required, which resulted in a remarkable catalyst durability.</P>

Numerical and Experimental Study on Knock Sources in Spark Ignition Engine with Electromagnetic Valve Train

Xu Jiangtao,Feng Yong,Chang Siqin,Guo Tongjun 한국자동차공학회 2020 International journal of automotive technology Vol.21 No.6

As one of the most common engine types in nowadays, the thermal efficiency of spark-Ignition (SI) engine is limited due to the lower compression ratio. Various technical solutions have been proposed to suppress knock and improve compression ratio of SI engines. In this paper, an new technical solution based on electromagnetic valve train (EMVT) was proposed to suppress knock of spark ignition engines, so that high compression ratio (HCR) engine (13:5) was obtained. Moreover, experimental and numerical analyses were carried out to optimize the proposed EMVT strategy. The result showed that the proposed EMVT strategies could well suppress the engine knock by reducing end-gas temperature and pressure and improving the spark-flame rate, resulting in significantly enhanced power, economic, and emission characteristics of SI engines. This study provides theoretical basis and technical approach for the development of internal combustion engines with high efficiency and high compression ratio.

Yong Gan,YunQian Xu,Lei He,Feng Xue 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Grid and Distributed Comp Vol.9 No.11

For the security issue of the single tag ownership transfer, this paper proposes a multi-owner RFID Tag ownership transfer protocol based on the Chinese remainder theorem. By using secret sharing scheme, this protocol divides the sharing key into n parts, which then are distributed to n owners. Only when t owners cooperate together, the sharing key will be recovered. Thus, it ensures the tag’s security during the authentication and transformation of the ownership. Under the Linux environment, this protocol was achieved through simulationtest and the experiment data about the calculate time of the tag was got. Then with the number of owners increasing gradually, different results were compared. The result shows that in the protocol, when increasing the owners’ number, the calculate time of tag is in the acceptable range, which is also apply to the low cost tag.

B. thuringiensis strain LY-99 belonging to subsp. Alesti (H3a3c), was isolated from Chinese tobacco warehouse and showed significantly high toxicity to Plutella xylostella. For the identification of the cry1-type genes from B. thuringiensis LY-99, an extended multiplex PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was established by using two pairs of universal primers based on the conserved regions of the cry1-type genes to amplify around 2.4 kb cry1-type gene fragments. Then the DNA fragment was cloned into pGEM-T Easy vector and digested with EcoRI and EcoRV enzymes. Through this method, a known cry1-type gene was successfully identified from the reference strain, B. thuringiensis subsp. alesti. In addition, the RFLP patterns revealed that B. thuringiensis LY-99 included a novel cry1A-type gene in addition to cry1Aa, cry1Ac, cry1Be and cry1Ea genes. The novel cry1A-type gene was designated cry1Ah2 (Genbank accession No DQ269474). An inverse PCR method was used to amplify the flank regions of cry1Ah2 gene. Finally, 3143 bp HindIII fragment from B. thuringiensis LY-99 plasmid DNA including 5` region and partial ORF was amplified, and sequence analysis revealed that cry1Ah2 gene from LY-99 showed 89.31% of maximum sequence similarity with cry1Ac1 crystal protein gene. In addition, the deduced amino acid sequence of Cry1Ah2 protein shared 87.80% of maximum identity with that of Cry1Ac2. This protein therefore belongs to a new class of B. thuringiensis crystal proteins.

Influence of Preparation Conditions on the Formation of Copper (II) Architectures with Pyrazine-2,3,5-tricarboxylic Acid

Feng-Qin Wang,Shu Lin,Ming-Lin Guo,Jun-Jian Xu,Xiao-Qing Wang,Yong-Nan Zhao 대한화학회 2011 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.32 No.7

Three new metal-organic copper(II) complexes, [Cu(H_2PZTC)_2]_n·2nH_2O (1), [Cu(HPZTC)·2H_2O]_n·2nH_2O (2),and Cu_2[(PZHD)(OH)(H_2O)_2]_n (3) (H_3PZTC = pyrazine-2,3,5-tricarboxylic acid, PZHD^3− = 2-hydroxypyrazine-3,5-dicarboxylate), have been synthesized from Cu(II)/H3PZTC system under different synthetic conditions, and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. In complexes 1 and 2, H_3PZTC ligands loose one and two protons, which were transformed into H_2PZTC− anion and HPZTC^2− dianion under different preparation condition, respectively. Furthermore, two ligands coordinate with Cu(II) cations in different modes, leading to the formation of the different chain structures. In complex 3, H_3PZTC ligand was converted into a new ligand-PZHD by in situ decarboxylation and hydroxylation under a higher pH value than that for complexes 1 and 2. PZHD ligands link the Cu(II) cations to form a 2D layer structure. These results demonstrate that the preparation conditions,including pH value and reaction temperature etc, play an important role in the construction of complexes based on H_3PZTC ligand.

Cetirizine Dihydrochloride Loaded Microparticles Design Using Ionotropic Cross-linked Chitosan Nanoparticles by Spray-drying Method

Feng-Qian Li,Rui-Rui Ji,Xu Chen,Ben-Ming You,Yong-Hua Pan,Jia-Can Su 대한약학회 2010 Archives of Pharmacal Research Vol.33 No.12

To control the release rate and mask the bitter taste, cetirizine dihydrochloride (CedH) was entrapped within chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs) using an ionotropic gelation process, followed by microencapsulation to produce CS matrix microparticles using a spray-drying method. The aqueous colloidal CS-NPs dispersions with a drug encapsulation efficiency (EE) of <15%, were then spray dried to produce a powdered nanoparticles-in-microparticles system with an EE of >70%. The resultant spherical CS microparticles had a smooth surface, were free of organic solvent residue and showed a diameter range of 0.5~5 μm. The in vitro drug release properties of CedH encapsulated microparticles showed an initial burst effect during the first 2 h. Drug release from the matrix CS microparticles could be retarded by the crosslinking agent pentasodium tripolyphosphate or the wall material. The technique of ‘ionotropic gelation’ combined with ‘spray-drying’ could be applicable for preparation of CS nanoparticlesin-microparticles drug delivery systems. CS-NPs based microparticles might provide a potential micro-carrier for oral administration of the freely water-soluble drug - CedH.

MicroRNA-155 Expression has Prognostic Value in Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Digestive System Carcinomas

Xu, Tong-Peng,Zhu, Can-Hong,Zhang, Jian,Xia, Rui,Wu, Feng-Lei,Han, Liang,Shen, Hua,Liu, Ling-Xiang,Shu, Yong-Qian Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2013 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.14 No.12

Objective: Published data have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) could play a potential role as diagnostic and prognostic indicators in cancers. Data for the predictive value of microRNA-155 are inconclusive. The aim of the present analysis was therefore to evaluate the role of miR-155 in prognosis for patients with a variety of carcinomas. Methods: Relevant studies were identified by searching PubMed and EMBASE. Data were extracted from studies comparing overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS) or cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with carcinoma with higher miR-155 expression and those with lower levels. The pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of miR-155 for clinical outcome were calculated. Results: A total of 15 studies were included. The pooled hazard ratio (HR) for OS of higher miR-155 expression in cancerous tissue was 1.89 (95% CI: 1.20-2.99, P=0.006), which could markedly predict poorer survival in general cancer. For RFS/CSS, elevated miR-155 was also associated with poor prognosis of cancer (HR=1.50, 95% CI: 1.10-2.05, P=0.01). On subgroup analysis, the pooled HR for OS in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was 2.09 (95% CI: 0.68-6.41, P > 0.05), but for RFS/CSS was 1.28 (95% CI: 1.05-1.55, P=0.015), with statistical significance; the pooled HRs for OS and RFS/CSS in digestive system neoplasms were 3.04 (95% CI: 1.48-6.24, P=0.003) and 2.61 (95% CI: 1.98-3.42, P<0.05), respectively. Conclusions: The results indicated that the miR-155 expression level plays a prognostic role in patients with cancer, especially NSCLCs and digestive system carcinomas.
