Ti–36Nb–2Ta–3Zr–0.35O (TNTZO) alloy is an excellent candidate for biomedical applications. In this study, a new methodcombining cold-swaging and cold-drawing was used to fabricate the TNTZO alloy wires with 0.3 mm diameter for orthodonticapplications. The microstructure and mechanical properties of cold-drawn and annealed TNTZO wires (referred toas TNTZO0.3and TNTZO0.3(HT), respectively) were investigated. The results show that the microstructure of cold drawnTNTZO0.3consists of main-sized elongated grains with 70 nm width. After annealing at 700 °C for 5 min, the microstructureof TNTZO0.3(HT) wires becomes equiaxial with a grain size of ~ 5 μm. The cold drawn TNTZO0.3wires exhibit improvedmechanical properties, higher tensile strength (about 1000 MPa) and similar elastic modulus (69 GPa), compared to annealedTNTZO0.3(HT) wires. Besides, TNTZO0.3has higher creep resistance and lower stress exponent (around 2), compared to Tiwires and TC4 wires with the same diameter. These results prove that TNTZO0.3wires have most of the ideal characteristicsof orthodontic wires.

Conflicts Rules of Arbitration Agreements in China: Evolution and Reform

( Wei Dong Zhu ) 고려대학교 법학연구원 2012 The Asian Business Lawyer Vol.9 No.-

The Evolution of the conflicts rules of arbitration agreements in China can be divided into three stages: Before the "Interpretation 2006" was issued by the Supreme People`s Court, when designating the applicable law of the arbitration agreement the Chinese courts followed the judicial practices developed for a long time; the "Interpretation 2006" provides clear guidelines for the courts to assign the law applicable to the arbitration agreement, but the rigidity of the conflicts rules in the "Interpretation 2006" often results in the arbitration agreements being held invalid because in most if not all the cases the Chinese law will be determined as the lex causae of the arbitration agreements, greatly frustrating the parties` expectation to have their disputes settled through arbitration; the newly promulgated Law on the Application of Laws to the Foreign-Related Civil Matters (CPIL) contains a set of specific conflict rules of arbitration agreement, but such a provision is no but the old wine in the new bottle, causing more uncertainty and even contradictory results. The author analyzes the main approaches adopted in other jurisdictions in determining the validity of arbitration agreements and proposes the possible reform in Arbitration Law in China.

Dihydroxynaphthyl aryl ketones 1-5 exhibit activity as tubulin polymerization inhibitors by targeting the colchicine binding site of microtubules making them potential anticancer drugs. Therefore, analogues 1-5 have been evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against the cancer cell lines DU-145 (prostate), T24 (bladder) and MCF-7 (breast). notable differences in biological activity were observed for compounds 1-5, most likely related to the nature of the aryl substituent bonded to the carbonyl group. among the tested compounds, only compound 5 showed selectivity for cancer cells over healthy, non-transformed cells. T24 cancer cells treated with compound 5 presented a concentration-dependent decrease in cell proliferation and a loss of migration ability. The cytotoxicity of compounds 1-5 on the selected cell-based assays is discussed in terms of it lipophilicity and polarizability parameters.

Dong-dong Pan,Qian-qing Zhang,Shan-wei Liu,Shi-min Zhang 대한토목학회 2018 KSCE JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Vol.22 No.1

The conventional load-transfer approach can not consider the interaction of piles, and can not be directly used in the analysis of the response of pile groups. The interactive effects among piles can be taken into account in the shear displacement method based on the principle of superposition. In the present analysis, the shaft displacement of a single pile at a given depth is assumed to be composed of the pile-soil relative displacement developed at the disturbed soil around pile and the elastic vertical soil displacement developed in the soil mass. A new load-transfer function which is very similar to a hyperbolic model is then established to describe the relationship between unit skin friction and shaft displacement at a given depth. Furthermore, a hyperbolic model is used to simulate the relationship between unit end resistance and pile end displacement. As to the analysis of the response of pile groups, the interactive effects among piles are considered by using the shear displacement method. For an individual pile in pile groups, new load-transfer functions are established to capture the relationship between unit skin friction and shaft displacement and the relationship between end resistance and pile end displacement. Based on the fourth order Runge-Kutta method, a modified loadtransfer method is proposed to analyze the response of pile groups considering the interactive effects among piles. The reliability of the present method is checked by using comparisons of the present calculated results, the measured results and the computed values derived from other methods.

Objective: Explore the feasibility of allo-hemopietic stem cell transplants in treating patients with B cell acute lymphocytic leukemia. Methods: Between september 2006 and February 2011, fifteen patients with B cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) were treated by allo-hemopietic stem cell transplants (HSCT). Stem cell sources were peripheral blood. Six patients were conditioned by busulfan (BU) and cyclophosphamide (CY) and nine patients were conditioned with TBI and cyclophosphamide (CY). Graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis regimen consisted of cyclosporine A (CSA), methotrex ate (MTX) and mycophenolatemofetil (MMF). Results: Patients received a median of $7.98{\times}10^8{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ ($5.36-12.30{\times}10^8{\cdot}kg^{-1}$) mononuclear cells (MNC). The median time of ANC> $0.5{\times}10^9/L$ was day 12 (10-15), and PLT> $20.0{\times}10^9/L$ was day 13 (11-16). Extensive acute GVHD occurred in 6 (40.0%) patients, and extensive chronic GVHD was recorded in 6 (40.0%) patients. Nine patients were alive after 2.5-65 months follow-up. Conclusion: Allogeneic stem cell transplant could be effective in treating patients with B cell acute lymphocytic leukemia.

RanBPM Protein Acts as a Negative Regulator of BLT2 Receptor to Attenuate BLT2-mediated Cell Motility

Wei, Jun-Dong,Kim, Joo-Young,Kim, Ae-Kyoung,Jang, Sung Key,Kim, Jae-Hong American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Bi 2013 The Journal of biological chemistry Vol.288 No.37

<P>BLT2, a low affinity receptor for leukotriene B<SUB>4</SUB> (LTB<SUB>4</SUB>), is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family and is involved in many signal transduction pathways associated with various cellular phenotypes, including chemotactic motility. However, the regulatory mechanism for BLT2 has not yet been demonstrated. To understand the regulatory mechanism of BLT2, we screened and identified the proteins that bind to BLT2. Using a yeast two-hybrid assay with the BLT2 C-terminal domain as bait, we found that RanBPM, a previously proposed scaffold protein, interacts with BLT2. We demonstrated the specific interaction between BLT2 and RanBPM by GST pulldown assay and co-immunoprecipitation assay. To elucidate the biological function of the RanBPM-BLT2 interaction, we evaluated the effects of RanBPM overexpression or knockdown. We found that BLT2-mediated motility was severely attenuated by RanBPM overexpression and that knockdown of endogenous RanBPM by shRNA strongly promoted BLT2-mediated motility, suggesting a negative regulatory function of RanBPM toward BLT2. Furthermore, we observed that the addition of BLT2 ligands caused the dissociation of BLT2 and RanBPM, thus releasing the negative regulatory effect of RanBPM. Finally, we propose that Akt-induced BLT2 phosphorylation at residue Thr<SUP>355</SUP>, which occurs after the addition of BLT2 ligands, is a potential mechanism by which BLT2 dissociates from RanBPM, resulting in stimulation of BLT2 signaling. Taken together, our results suggest that RanBPM acts as a negative regulator of BLT2 signaling to attenuate BLT2-mediated cell motility.</P>

ATCS: An Adaptive TCP Coding Scheme for Satellite IP Networks

( Wei Dong ),( Junfeng Wang ),( Minhuan Huang ),( Jian Tang ),( Hongxia Zhou ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2011 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.5 No.5

In this paper we propose ATCS, a practical TCP protocol coding scheme based on network coding for satellite IP networks. The proposal is specially designed to enhance TCP performance over satellite networks. In our scheme, the source introduces a degree of redundancy and transmits a random linear combination of TCP packets. Since the redundant packets are utilized to mask packet loss over satellite links, the degree of redundancy is determined by the link error rates. Through a simple and effective method, ATCS estimates link error rates in real time and then dynamically adjusts the redundant factor. Consequently, ATCS is adaptable to a wide range of link error rates by coding TCP segments with a flexible redundancy factor. Furthermore, the scheme is compatible with traditional TCP variants. Simulation results indicate that the proposal improves TCP performance considerably.

알코올 유도성 조직 손상에 있어서 adrenomedullin의 발현 및 그 영향에 대한 연구 중, 실험 마우스 중의 한 개체에서 장간막 림프절과 장 내에서 림프육종이 발생한 것을 확인하였다. 림프육종은 마우스 계통에 따라 발생율이 다르지만 알려진 바로는 두 번째로 발생율이 높은 자발성 종양 질환 중 하나이다. 본 증례에서 육안적인 관찰 결과, 절제된 장에서 다소 경도가 높거나 연한 경도를 가지는 부분이 혼재된 크림색의 mass가 내강으로 돌출된 것과 함께 장간막에서 역시 동일한 형태의 mass가 관찰되었다. 종양성 세포들은 주로 점막 내로 침습하고 있는 모습을 나타내고 있으며 원형의 과염색성 핵과 소량의 세포질을 함유하고 있었다. 본 림프계 종양에 있어서 그 세포들의 기원은 CD20, CD3, vimentin에 대한 면역염색을 실시하여 확인하였다. In the study of investigate the expression and effects of adrenomedullin (AM) in the tissue injured by ethanol in our laboratory, there were lymphosarcomas involving mesenteric lymph node and intestine discovered in experimental mice. Lymphosarcoma is probably the second most common spontaneous neoplastic disease, the incidence of which is dependent on the strain of mouse. The diagnosis of lymphosarcoma was based on gross and light microscopic studies. Grossly, the excised intestine and mesentery showed soft-to-firm, cream-colored, displayed protuberance into the lumen. The neoplastic cells had mainly infiltrated into the mucosal and mesenteric lymph node, and have round hyperchromatic nuclei and a small amount of cytoplasm. The origin of these tumor cells was determined by immunohistochemistry positive of CD20, CD3 and Vimentin.
