- To identify susceptibility genes for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 506 individuals with sporadic ALS and 1,859 controls of Han Chinese ancestry. Ninety top SNPs suggested by the current GWAS and 6 SNPs identified by previous GWAS were analyzed in an independent cohort of 706 individuals with ALS and 1,777 controls of Han Chinese ancestry. We discovered two new susceptibility loci for ALS at 1q32 (CAMK1G, rs6703183, P-combined = 2.92 x 10(-8), odds ratio (OR) = 1.31) and 22p11 (CABIN1 and SUSD2, rs8141797, P-combined = 2.35 x 10(-9), OR = 1.52). These two loci explain 12.48% of the overall variance in disease risk in the Han Chinese population. We found no association evidence for the previously reported loci in the Han Chinese population, suggesting genetic heterogeneity of disease susceptibility for ALS between ancestry groups. Our study identifies two new susceptibility loci and suggests new pathogenic mechanisms of ALS.

- Asthma, rhinitis and eczema (allergic or non-allergic) have increased throughout the world during the last decades, especially among children. Changes in the indoor environment are suspected to be important causes. China has experienced a dramatic change in indoor environmental exposures during the past two decades. However, such changes and their associations with children's asthma and other health aspects have not been thoroughly studied. China, Children, Homes, Health (CCHH), Phase I, was a cross-sectional questionnaire survey of 48219 children 1-8 years old in 10 Chinese cities during 2010-2012. The questionnaire includes the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) core health questions and additional questions regarding housing, life habits and outdoor environment. In health analyses, children aged 3-6 years old were included. The prevalences of doctor diagnosed asthma varied from 1.7% to 9.8% (mean 6.8%), a large increase from 0.91% in 1999 and 1.50% in 2000. The prevalence of wheeze, rhinitis and atopic eczema (last 12 months) varied from 13.9% to 23.7%, 24.0% to 50.8% and 4.8% to 15.8%, respectively. Taiyuan had the lowest prevalences of all illnesses and Shanghai the highest, except for wheezewhere the highest value was for Urumqi. We found (1) no obvious association between disease prevalences and ambient PM10 concentrations and (2) higher prevalences of disease in humid climates with hot summers and cold winters, but with no centrally heated buildings. Associations between the diseases and economic status as indexed by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) requires further study.

- Background: Meningioma-associated protein (MAC30), first described to be overexpressed in meningiomas, exhibits altered expression in certain human tumors. The aim of our study was to investigate the expression of MAC30 mRNA and its correlation with clinicopathological variables in human colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: MAC30 mRNA expression was first examined in 55 CRCs, along with the samples from the matched distant normal and adjacent noncancerous tissue by RT-PCR, further verified in 18 CRCs by quantitative RT-PCR. MAC30 protein expression was detected by Western blot in 10 CRCs, and DNA sequencing was performed in 1 case of the paired CRC and the matched noncancerous specimen. MAC30 mRNA expression in two colon cancer cell lines, HCT-116(p53-/-) and HCT-116(p53+/+), was detected by quantitative RT-PCR. Results: The mRNA expression of MAC30 was increased in CRC when compared with distant normal (p < 0.01) and adjacent noncancerous mucosa (p < 0.01). The mean value of MAC30 mRNA expression in the tumor located in the colon was higher than in the rectum (0.677 +/- 0.419 vs. 0.412 +/- 0.162, p = 0.005). As the tumor penetrated the wall of the colon/rectum, MAC30 mRNA expression notably increased in tumors with T3+T4 stage compared to tumors with T1+T2 stage (0.571 +/- 0.364 vs. 0.404 +/- 0.115, p = 0.014). MAC30 protein expression in CRCs was also remarkably elevated compared to the adjacent noncancerous mucosa. There was no mutation in the coding region of the MAC30 gene either in CRC or in the noncancerous mucosa. mRNA expression of p53 was notably decreased in HCT-116(p53-/-) compared to HCT-116(p53+/+), while MAC30 did not vary greatly. Conclusion: The overexpression of MAC30 might be involved in the development and aggressiveness of CRCs, especially in the colon.

CoFe alloy as middle layer for strong spin dependent quantum well resonant tunneling in MgO double barrier magnetic tunnel junctions
- 2013

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We report on spin dependent quantum well (QW) resonances in the CoFe alloy middle layer of CoFe/MgO/CoFe/MgO/CoFeB double barrier magnetic tunnel junctions. The dI/dV spectra reveal clear resonant peaks for the parallel magnetization configurations, which can be related to the existence of QW resonances obtained from first-principles calculations. We observe that the differential tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) exhibits an oscillatory behavior as a function of voltage with a sign change as well as a pronounced TMR enhancement at resonant voltages at room temperature. The observation of strong QW resonances indicates that the CoFe film possesses a long majority spin mean-free path, and the substitutional disorder does not cause a significant increase of scattering. Both points are confirmed by first-principles electronic structure calculation. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.87.024411

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To enhance road traffic images and aerial images in bad weather, a new fractional differential operator is studied, and it is different from the traditional Tiansi operator. In the operator, for any sized kernel, the coefficient at the center position is not a constant, and it is the function of the fractional order and the kernel size; for the other pixels in the kernel, there is no zero coefficient value, and the values of the coefficients are calculated according to the distances from the center position on the basis of fractional differential. In experiments, a number of images are tested, and the results show that the studied operator is suitable for the vague images of the low contrast and rich textures, with less color changes. When compared with other newly proposed algorithms (e.g. Dark channel prior and Multiple scale Retinex, etc.) it performs better in some cases.

- The endothelin B2 (ETB2) receptors are induced in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in cardiovascular diseases. We tested if in vitro short-term exposure to the pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) could up-regulate ETB2 receptors in rat mesenteric arteries, and if this effect is through activation of intracellular nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) pathway. The mesenteric arteries were dissected from male Sprague-Dawley rats and the endothelium was removed. The arteries were co-incubated with TNF-alpha in serum-free Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium. Real-time reverse transcription-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemical staining were employed to assess the mRNA/protein expression of ETB2 receptors and activation of NF-kappa B pathway. The results showed that, during organ culture. TNF-alpha concentration-dependently enhanced ET52 receptors expression at both mRNA and protein levels, paralleled with activation of NF-kappa B pathway in VSMC. The up-regulated ETB2 receptor expression and NF-kappa B activation could be effectively suppressed by general transcriptional inhibitor actinomycin D, or either of the selective I kappa B kinase inhibitors wedelolactone and IMD-0354. Conclusively, the activation of intracellular NF-kappa B pathway is responsible for the up-regulation of ETB2 receptors induced by short-term exposure to TNF-alpha. This could partly explain the toxic effects of TNF-alpha on VSMCs that account for cardiovascular diseases. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- There are fewer longitudinal studies from China on symptoms as described for the sick building syndrome (SBS). Here, we performed a two-year prospective study and investigated associations between environmental parameters such as room temperature, relative air humidity (RH), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O-3), particulate matter (PM10), and health outcomes including prevalence, incidence and remission of SBS symptoms in junior high schools in Taiyuan, China. Totally 2134 pupils participated at baseline, and 1325 stayed in the same classrooms during the study period (2010-2012). The prevalence of mucosal symptoms, general symptoms and symptoms improved when away from school (school-related symptoms) was 22.7%, 20.4% and 39.2%, respectively, at baseline, and the prevalence increased during follow-up (P<0.001). At baseline, both indoor and outdoor SO2 were found positively associated with prevalence of school-related symptoms. Indoor O-3 was shown to be positively associated with prevalence of skin symptoms. At follow-up, indoor PM10 was found to be positively associated with new onset of skin, mucosal and general symptoms. CO2 and RH were positively associated with new onset of mucosal, general and school-related symptoms. Outdoor SO2 was positively associated with new onset of skin symptoms, while outdoor NO2 was positively associated with new onset of skin, general and mucosal symptoms. Outdoor PM10 was found to be positively associated with new onset of skin, general and mucosal symptoms as well as school-related symptoms. In conclusion, symptoms as described for SBS were commonly found in school children in Taiyuan City, China, and increased during the two-year follow-up period. Environmental pollution, including PM10, SO2 and NO2, could increase the prevalence and incidence of SBS and decrease the remission rate. Moreover, parental asthma and allergy (heredity) and pollen or pet allergy (atopy) can be risk factors for SBS.

- With the rapid development of information technology, traditional health care is evolving towards a more digital and electronic stage. Electronic Health Record (EHR) deals with basic information and health care related information of residents and it conforms to the relevant standards. It is not only able to provide useful information to medical workers, but also has the ability to exchange resources with other health related information systems. To support this massive data exchange in electronic health record system, scalability is a prerequisite when designing and implementing the system. However with the growing complexity of electronic health record data sources, it has proven to be a significant challenge to set up a structure which allows a massive data exchange involving a large number of concurrent users. Of even greater importance is to determine a method to ensure data security while maintaining a high performance. In this paper, we have proposed scalability oriented distributed electronic health record system in order to address this problem. Health related data is gathered by sensors before being uploaded into the system. A distributed server group was designed to handle and process concurrent data exchange within the system. A load balance algorithm has also been designed and implemented in addition to crash detection mechanisms in order to improve both the scalability and performance of the system. Data security and heterogeneous data source compatibility are also ensured by middleware. The power efficiency of the mobile health data collector is also taken into consideration. The test results and evaluation of the system demonstrated that the distributed electronic health record system's performance scales well relation to test scenarios. Middleware for data exchange also displayed the characteristics of secure, flexible and high performance. © 2013 The Science and Information Organization.

- Objectives: We measured nucleoporin 88 (Nup88) mRNA expression in primary colorectal cancers to investigate its relationship with clinicopathological features and p53. Methods: The primary cancer tissues, adjacent noncancerous tissues and the proximal and distant margins of normal mucosa were collected from 73 colorectal cancer patients during surgery. Nup88 mRNA expression was measured on these fresh specimens and on colon cell lines HCT-116 (P53+/+) and HCT-116 (P53-/-) by RT-PCR while p53 mRNA and beta-actin as controls. Nup88 and p53 protein expression were then immunohistochemistrically examined in other 25 colorectal cancers specimens paraffin embedded and formalin fixed. Results: Nup88 expression was higher in primary cancer tissues than in adjacent noncancerous tissues, and in the proximal and distant margins of normal mucosa. Overexpression of Nup88 mRNA was statistically associated with TNM stage (P = 0.044), lymphatic metastasis (P = 0.022), and cancer location (P = 0.036), while not related to gender, age of patients and histological type, infiltration depth, and differentiation of cancers. The expression of Nup88 mRNA in the HCT-116 (P53-/-) cell line was not significantly different from expression in the HCT-116 (P53+/+) cell line. And there was no correlation between Nup88 and p53 protein expression (r = 0.632, P = 0.368). Conclusions: Nup88 mRNA was overexpressed in colorectal cancers and the overexpression was associated with cancer development and aggressiveness. Nup88 might be regard as essential contributor to nodal metastagenicity of colorectal cancer.

- Facile tuning of photophysical properties is highly desirable for boosting the performance and versatility of photoluminescent materials. In an attempt to overcome the challenge of achieving the photoswitching of multicolor luminescence on unimolecular platforms, we here report a novel hierarchical self-assembly of a cyanostilbene-naphthalimide dyad as the realization of phototunable luminescence at the unimolecular level. The work takes advantage of the photoisomerization of the cyanostilbene moiety from the Z form to its E form, which causes a morphological disorder in the molecular self-assembly and gives rise to a dual fluorescent characteristic accompanied by a progressive luminescent color conversion from yellow to green and finally to blue. Such systems with convertible multicolor luminescence might exhibit application potentials for unimolecular selective imaging and labeling, as exemplified by the cell imaging studies presented in this work.

- Three new metal-free dyes with a 5,6-bis(octyloxy) benzo[c][1,2,5] thiadiazole core (DOBT-I-III) have been designed and synthesized for use as DSSCs. Their absorption properties and electrochemical and photovoltaic performances have been investigated systematically. The DSSCs based on DOBT-I-III show high open-circuit voltages (V-oc) of 829, 818, and 784 mV, respectively. Of the three dyes, DOBT-III, which contains a thiophene-bridging linker, exhibits the best photovoltaic performance: a short-circuit photocurrent density (J(sc)) of 12.74 mA cm(-2) and a fill factor (FF) of 0.73, which corresponds to an overall conversion efficiency of 7.29% under standard global AM 1.5 solar conditions.

- An efficient two-electrode molecular PEC was assembled, in which a photoanode was constructed using a co-adsorbed method with a molecular photosensitizer (PS) 1 and a molecular catalyst 2 on TiO2-sintered FTO electrode (TiO2(1 + 2)). Without applied bias against a reference electrode, the system achieves remarkable photocurrent densities and carries out light driven water oxidation as evidenced by Clark electrode measurements in solution. A photocurrent density of 70 mA/cm(2) has been obtained within 10 s illumination time, and a TON of about 220 was obtained with a maximum turnover frequency (TOF) of ca. 4 min(-1) within the initial 5 minutes illumination duration.

- Photoactive anodes consisting of Ru(bpy)(3) type photosensitizer 1 and molecular catalysts 2 and 3 on nanostructured TiO2 have been assembled in functional devices for successful light driven water splitting. From their performance measurements we found that the photoanode TiO2(1 + 3) in which the molecular ruthenium catalyst and the phosphonate anchoring group are linked by a flexible -CH(2)CH(2)CH(2)chain showed a significantly higher photocurrent density than the photoanode TiO2(1 + 2) with only -CH2- linkage. The possible reasons for the different water splitting performance of otherwise identical devices are discussed.

- The acylation of 2,20-bipyrrole with pentafluorobenzoyl chloride in the presence of AlCl3 afforded six acylated products with rich alpha-, beta-, beta(1)-, alpha,alpha'-, alpha,beta(')-, and alpha,beta(1)'-substitution modes for 1-6, respectively. Then, the alpha,alpha'-diacylated compound 4 was used to synthesize a prodigiosin derivative 9, which provides an alternative method for the syntheses of prodigiosin derivatives. Crystal structures of 1, 4 and 9 show interesting supramolecular dimers formed by multiple hydrogen bonds, O...pi interactions, as well as pi... pi interactions. Interestingly, 9 shows fluorescence turn-on probing behavior towards Zn2+ both in DMF and in DMF-HEPES, with high sensitivity and selectivity. The detection limit for Zn2+ in DMF was calculated to be 1.1 x 10(-8) M.

- Nowadays, social networks, information networks and technological networks have already become main media of information publication and exchange. Meanwhile, the information diffusion in these networks is well studied. However, most privacy protection technologies, e.g., access control, have not considered the influence of these networks systematically. In this paper, a concept of outer system flow privacy control is proposed. In addition, system privacy requirements are reconsidered. Furthermore, in user case, role base access control (RBAC) is analyzed and improved based on the outer system flow control

- mHealth data provision focuses on providing health services to patients via mobile devices and presence technologies. It has great influence to the healthcare business today, especially in the developing countries. However, the mHealth presence might be sensitive; and it brings potential privacy issues. For controlling what presence information can be given to which watcher, and when in mHealth presence service, XML Configuration Access Protocol (XCAP) is introduced. Nevertheless, it is not enough if only XCAP is applied. It just controls the direct privacy leakage; indirect flow might still leak the privacy information. Thus, presence authorization policy and privacy filter, which are components of XCAP, are improved based on k-anonymity for stopping indirect privacy leakage.
