Prominin‐1‐Specific Binding Peptide‐Modified Apoferritin Nanoparticle Carrying Irinotecan as a Novel Radiosensitizer for Colorectal Cancer Stem‐Like Cells

Resistance of cancer stem cells to radiotherapy remains a major obstacle to successful cancer management. Prominin‐1 (PROM1) is a cancer stem cell marker. Nanoparticle (NP) chemotherapeutics preferentially accumulate in tumors and are able to target cancer and cancer stem‐like cells through cancer cell‐specific ligands, making them uniquely suited as radiosensitizers for chemoradiation therapy. Using a biocompatible apoferritin NP, a PROM1‐targeted NP carrying irinotecan (PROM1‐NP) is engineered. The synergistic effect of the NP and irradiation is evaluated in PROM1‐overexpressing HCT‐116 colorectal cancer cell lines in vitro and in vivo. PROM1‐NP has a size of 17.2 ± 0.2 nm and surface charge of ?13.5 ± 0.2 mV. It demonstrates higher intracellular uptake than nontargeted NP or irinotecan alone. Treatment with PROM1‐NPs decreases HCT‐116 cell proliferation in a dose‐ and time‐dependent manner. In vitro radiosensitization reveals that PROM1‐NP is significantly more effective as a radiosensitizer than nontargeted NP or irinotecan. HCT‐116 tumor xenograft growth is markedly slower following treatment with PROM1‐NP plus irradiation, suggesting that PROM1‐NP is more effective as a radiosensitizer than irinotecan and nontargeted NP in vivo. This study provides the first preclinical evidence of the effectiveness of PROM1‐targeted NP formulation of irinotecan as a radiosensitizer.

Transesterification of Soybean Oil Catalyzed by Calcium Hydroxide which Obtained from Hydrolysis Reaction of Calcium Carbide

Calcium carbide residue (CCR) was investigated in transesterification reaction of triglycerides to determine its viability as a solid catalyst for biodiesel synthesis. Literature survey showed that CCR has never been studied as a solid catalyst in the transesterification of triglyceride. The scope of the study includes the effects of CCR calcination temperature, calcination time, the alcohol/oil molar ratio, the catalyst amount (wt % of oil) and the reaction time. The relationship between chemical composition and catalytic activity of waste cement was also investigated. These CCR catalysts, thermally activated at 600 °C, can give rise to fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) purity higher than 99.5%, after 3 h of reaction, when oil/methanol molar ratio of 1/12 and 1 wt % of the catalyst were employed. Application of CCR as catalyst for biodiesel production in this study may not only provide a cost‐effective and environment friendly way of recycling CCR waste but also reduce hopefully the cost of biodiesel production.     

一个取代的1, 5-苯并二氮杂卓的晶体结构及构象研究

用X射线衍射方法测定了4-苯甲酰基-3-(邻氯苯基)-1-乙酸乙酯基-1a-苯基-1,1a,2,3-四氢化-4H-环丙胺-[1,2-a][1,5]-苯并二氯杂卓化合物的晶体结构,晶体结构测定结果表明分子核心骨架二氮杂卓为类船式构象。用动力学模拟退火(SimulatedAnnealing)方法对分子进行了构象分析,结果表明分子中的二氮杂卓七元环具有三种较稳定的构象,其中以船式构象为最稳定,并存在着明显的芳环堆积作用。分子中七元环同时并接苯环和三元环,且环中的N(2)-C(12)-C(11)-N(1)有π键成分,大大限制了七元环构象的相互转换。

A preventive maintenance policy for a continuously monitored system with correlated wear indicators

A continuously monitored system is considered, that gradually and stochastically deteriorates according to a bivariate non-decreasing Lévy process. The system is considered as failed as soon as its bivariate deterioration level enters a failure zone, assumed to be an upper set. A preventive maintenance policy is proposed, which involves a delayed replacement, triggered by the reaching of some preventive zone for the system deterioration level. The preventive maintenance policy is assessed through a cost function on an infinite horizon time. The cost function is provided in full form, and tools are provided for its numerical computation. The influence of different parameters on the cost function is studied, both from a theoretical and/or numerical point of view.

Subthreshold K production in high energy heavy ion collisions

We show that an important contribution to subthreshold K⁻ production in high energy heavy ion collision is the strangeness exchange reactions Yπ→K---N between the hyperons and pions initially produced in the collision. Estimates are given for the number of K⁻ produced via this mechanism and it accounts for a large fraction of the experimental observation.
