Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide inhibits the metastasis of breast cancer to the lungs by inhibiting epithelial–mesenchymal transition

Breast cancer is a highly aggressive cancer in females. Metastasis is a major obstacle to the efficient and successful treatment of breast cancer. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) has anti-tumor effects on a variety of tumors. We showed that CTAB inhibits the metastasis of breast cancer to the lungs both in vitro and in vivo. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is thought to be one of the major processes mediating breast cancer metastasis. We found that CTAB suppressed EMT and regulated the levels of the classical EMT markers E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin, Snail and Twist1. Moreover, as a candidate anti-tumor agent, CTAB showed primary safety in vivo. Taken together, our results suggest that CTAB inhibits the migration of primary breast cancer to the lungs. Our findings confirm the clinical potential of CTAB for the treatment of breast cancer by targeting EMT. CTAB may thus be a promising novel anti-tumor drug for the treatment of breast cancer metastasis.     

基于近红外光谱的橙汁中酸土脂环酸芽孢杆菌的生长预测

酸土脂环酸芽孢杆菌（Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris）是引起橙汁劣变的主要微生物，为研究酸土脂环酸芽孢杆菌在橙汁中的生长规律，利用近红外光谱获取橙汁中酸土脂环酸芽孢杆菌含量的信息，采用标准化（autoscale）、多元散射校正（multiplicative scatter correction,MSC）、标准正态变换（standard normal variate,SNV）、去趋势化（detrend）对光谱进行预处理，结合化学计量学，构建近红外光谱与酸土脂环酸芽孢杆菌含量预测模型。在此基础上，将近红外光谱转换为酸土脂环酸芽孢杆菌预测菌落数据，并采用“一步法”直接基于预测菌落数构建橙汁中酸土脂环酸芽孢杆菌的生长模型。结果表明，利用标准化进行光谱预处理建立的偏最小二乘（partial least squares,PLS）模型对橙汁中酸土脂环酸芽孢杆菌含量的预测效果相对较好，其预测决定系数（prediction determination coefficient,Rp2）与预测均方根误差（root mean square error of prediction...

变形铝合金表面锆基化学转化膜的研究现状

化学转化膜是金属表面主要的处理方法之一，具备良好的附着力和耐蚀性，能为铝合金提供一定的临时防护。传统的六价铬酸盐化学转化膜在日渐严苛的环保压力下已经逐渐淘汰，取而代之的是近几年发展迅猛的三价铬及无铬锆基化学转化膜。铝合金可分为铸造铝合金和变形铝合金，按照所含主要合金元素和热处理状态可分为若干个系列和型号。本文选取几种典型的变形铝合金，综述了不同铝合金微观组织对转化膜成膜过程的影响，化学转化液添加剂、预处理和后处理工艺对转化膜性能的调控及作用机理，以及几种典型商业钝化剂在变形铝合金表面的应用。总结了目前变形铝合金表面锆基化学转化膜仍面临的问题和发展趋势，未来化学转化膜需在满足新型铝合金发展要求的基础上，通过不同有机、无机添加剂以及外场作用对转化膜的成膜均一性、完整性进行调控，以提高转化膜的综合性能。     

Decreased CD10-positive granulocytes for the differential diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are highly heterogeneous myeloid neoplasms, and a large number of patients are difficult to diagnose and classify by blood and bone marrow examination. As a surface marker of granulocyte, studies have shown CD10 can be used to define the degree of granulocyte maturation in MDS patients. However, whether it can be used for differential diagnosis of MDS and other hematological diseases remains inconclusive. To explore the value of CD10 for differential diagnosis of MDS, 60 newly diagnosed MDS, 20 aplastic anemia (AA) patients, and 35 iron-deficient anemia (IDA) patients were selected for this study. Bone marrow (BM) specimens were processed for surface marker analysis and labeled with pre-conjugated monoclonal antibodies. Stained cells were detected by flow cytometry. Our results indicated that CD10-positive granulocytes were significantly decreased in BM of MDS patients than AA and IDA patients, and the level of CD10-positive mature granulocytes was not associated with the clinical stages of malignancy. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) areas under the curve (AUC) of CD10-positive granulocytes was 0.86 and 0.85, respectively, in MDS patients than the IDA group and AA group with good specificity and sensitivity. Further, CD10-positive granulocytes were increased after effective treatment. In conclusion, we found the decrease in CD10-positive granulocytes has a differential diagnostic value of MDS.     

钼电极表面Y2O3-玻璃基涂层抗氧化性能研究

目的提高钼电极在玻璃炉窑烘窑过程中的抗氧化性能。方法在纯钼基体表面制备不同Y2O3含量的玻璃基抗氧化涂层。对涂层分别在800、1000、1200℃下进行抗氧化测试,利用扫描电镜(SEM)、能谱仪(EDS)、X射线衍射仪(XRD)对涂层在氧化前后的形貌、成分和物相进行检测,利用热分析仪对涂层粉体进行差热分析(DTA)。结果随着Y2O3成分含量的增加,硅酸盐玻璃的软化点温度不断降低,晶化放热峰也越来越低。Y2O3含量为10%和20%的涂层表面结构完整,整体比较致密,在1200℃高温氧化条件下,在第1h内出现增重,之后随着加热时间的延长,增重趋于稳定。Y2O3含量为30%的涂层表面呈致密片状结构,部分出现脱落,样品在氧化过程中出现明显失重。结论Y2O3含量为10%的Y2O3-玻璃基涂层经过1200℃抗氧化实验后,表面完整,试样增重较少,性能优良。涂层截面分为过渡层、中间层和最外层。过渡层主要为MoO2和MoO3,中间层主要是BaMoO4,最外层主要是SiO2。涂层抗氧化机理为互熔反应型保护机理和惰性熔膜屏蔽型保护机理。     

添加微量硅对925银合金抗硫化变色性能的影响

微量硅在925银铸造过程中可促进合金脱氧，提高合金熔体的洁净度和流动性，但过量硅会劣化合金性能。采用光学显微镜和电子显微镜研究添加微量硅(0.09%~0.15%)对925银微观组织变化的影响。结果表明，随着硅含量升高，925银合金中一次枝晶组织粗大，二次枝晶臂间距增大，当二次枝晶臂间距大于10 μm，合金断裂趋势显著增加。硅元素在925银合金中形成黑色低熔铜基共晶相，并由1~10 μm的点状相转变为8~20 μm的断续条状相，显微硬度变化与共晶二次析出相比例呈对应关系。在925银中梯度添加微量硅使合金硫化腐蚀后色差缩小，提高合金的抗硫化腐蚀变色能力。
