  • Osteosarcoma is a common malignant tumor of bone, but mechanisms underlying its development are still unclear. At present, it is believed that the inhibition of normal apoptotic mechanisms is one of the reasons for the development of tumors, so specific stimulation of tumor cell apoptosis can be considered as an important therapeutic method. Livin, as a member of the newly discovered inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) family, has specifically high expression in tumor tissues and can inhibit tumor cell apoptosis through multiple ways, which can become a new target for malignant tumor treatment (including osteosarcoma) and might of great significance in the clinical diagnosis of tumors and the screening of anti-tumor agents and carcinoma treatment.

  • The entire gene cluster involved in the biosynthesis of angucyclines Sch 47554 and Sch 47555 was cloned, sequenced, and characterized. Analysis of the nucleotide sequence of genomic DNA spanning 77.5-kb revealed a total of 55 open reading frames, and the deduced products exhibited strong sequence similarities to type II polyketide synthases, deoxysugar biosynthetic enzymes, and a variety of accessory enzymes. The involvement of this gene cluster in the pathway of Sch 47554 and Sch 47555 was confirmed by genetic inactivation of the aromatase, including a portion of the ketoreductase, which was disrupted by inserting the thiostrepton gene.

  • The pentanuclear complexes have been obtained by the reactions of molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI) polynuclear complexes with molybdenum(O) and tungsten(O) dinitrosyl mononuclear complexes, and methylthioamidoxime. The prepared complexes (n-Bu4N)2[Mo4O12Mo(NO)2{CH3SCH2C(NH2)NHO}2{CH3SCH2C(NH)NO}2](1), (n-Bu4N)2[W4O12Mo(NO)2{CH3SCH2C(NH2)NHO}2{CH3SCH2C(NH)NO}2](2), (n-Bu4N)2[Mo4O12W (NO)2{CH3SCH2C(NH2)NHO}2{CH3SCH2C(NH)NO}2] (3) have been characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, UV-visible and 1H NMR spectra. The complexes are elucidated the cis-{M(NO)2}2+(M = Mo, W) unit and a slight delocalization by spectroscopy. The structure of (n-Bu4N)2[W4O12Mo(NO) 2{CH3SCH2C(NH2)NHO}2{CH3SCH2C(NH)NO}2] was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. Crystal data are follows: Monoclinic, $P21}a$, a = 22.14(2) $\AA$, b = 14.93(1) $\AA$, c = 23.20(1) $\AA$, $\beta$ = 111.08(6) $\AA$, V = 7155(9) $\AA$, Z = 4, final R = 0.072 for 6191(I > $3\sigma(I)).$ The structure of complex forms two dinuclear [W2O5{CH3SCH2C(NH2)NHO}{CH3SCH2C(NH)NO}] and a central {Mo(NO)2} 2+ core. The geometric structure of the {Mo(NO)2} 2+unit is the formally cistype and C2v symmetry.

  • Henoch-Sch$\ddot{o}$nlein purpura can result from exposure to an antigen after infection with several types of organisms. However, Henoch-Sch$\ddot{o}$nlein purpura caused by a primary Epstein-Barr virus infection has been rarely reported. Here, we report the case of a 32-month-old female patient who presented with Henoch-Sch$\ddot{o}$nlein purpura. Based on abnormal liver function test results and positive results for Epstein-Barr virus infection markers, a diagnosis of Epstein-Barr virus hepatitis manifesting as Henoch-Sch$\ddot{o}$nlein purpura was made. Treatment with methyl-prednisolone and hydration improved the symptoms, and a switch to oral steroids was effective in completely alleviating the purpura. No recurrence was noted and no liver function abnormalities were detected during the follow up period.

  • The relationship between Schwanniomyces occidentalis CBS 2863 (formerly castellii) and CBS 1153 (formerly alluvius), and their variety persoonii was examined at alpha-amylase gene level. Using Sch. occidentalis alpha-amylase gene as probe, Sch. occidentalis alpha-amylase gene homologues were obtained from Sch. occidentalis CBS 1153 and Sch. occidentalis var. persoonii. The restriction analysis of these homologues showed that the restriction enzyme sites between Sch. occidentalis CBS 2863 and CBS 1153 was identical but different between these strains and Sch. occidentalis var. persoonii.

  • By using the thermionic emission model, the L-I-V(power-current-voltage) characteristics of a SCH(seperate confinement heterostructure) QW(quantum well) laser diode is analytically derived. We derived the relationships between the bulk carrier density of SCH regions and the confined carrier density of QW. The L-I-V characteristics is derived analytically by using current continuity equations. Solving the ambipolar diffusion equation under the condition of high level injection and charge neutrality, the current distribution in the SCH regions is considered. Results showed that the major factor affecting the laser I-V characteristics was the change of potential barrier at the cladding-SCH interface. Also the series resistance of a laser diode was decreased and the carrier injection was increased by increasing the forward flux of injection current from cladding to SCH region.

  • In this paper, carrier transport mechanism and modulation response for SCH(Separate Confinement Heterostructure) SQW(Single Quantum Well) laser diodes were studied. In order to explain carrier transport mechanism, both carrier density and current density were calculated. The recombination current density in the quantum well as a function of the SCH length was also calculated. For the modulation response, linearizing the rate equation, we calculated the bandwidth, relaxation oscillation frequency, damping factor, and the K-factor.
