The Polar Silk Road (PSR) will open up China's maritime trade route through the Arctic to Northwest Europe and affect the freight function structure of China's coastal ports. This study evaluates ports' freight capacity and predicts the freight function structure of China's coastal ports under the PSR from four dimensions, namely, comprehensive/professional, function status, function scale and function hierarchy. The freight function structure is also compared with the current one. Results show that the ports in the Bohai Rim and Yangtze River Delta will have more diversified development and become the main force of the port system under the PSR. Coal will have an important position in most ports' cargo transportation under the PSR. The PSR will bring great economic development opportunities to the northern ports because of the influence of the sea route distance. The port function hierarchy is more obvious under the PSR, and the medium-sized ports are most affected by the PSR. We classify coastal portsaccording to the freight scale and freight function. An adaptive proposal for the government's port function planning is proposed in the conclusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of tumor suppression and mechanism for different implantation modes of iodine-125 (I-125) seeds irradiation in a mice xenograft model, and its skeletal complications. A total of 24 mice carrying A549 lung tumor-derived xenografts were randomly assigned to four groups, including non-radioactive (sham) seeds implantation, I-125 seeds fractional implantation, I-125 seeds single implantation and I-125 seeds single implantation combined with anlotinib. Ki67 immunohistochemistry, TUNEL immunofluorescence and CD31 morphometric analysis were used to determine the proliferation index, rate of apoptotic cells and microvessel density, respectively. Additionally, the side effects on the skeletal system in mice treated with I-125 seeds implantation were evaluated by histomorphometric staining with tartrate-resistant acid phosphate (TRAP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) expression in femur, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP-5b) and procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP) levels in serum were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The I-125 seeds single and fractionated implantation had similar therapeutic effects and complications when the total number of I-125 seeds was the same. A single implantation of I-125 seeds with or without anlotinib could analogously inhibit the tumor growth in xenografts mice, while the single implantation combined with anlotinib had more effective in tumor inhibition. The results of Ki67, TUNEL and CD31 staining confirmed an evident reduction in tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis, as well as an increase in apoptosis. A relatively integrated bone metabolism was indicated after I-125 seeds single implantation with or without anlotinib, and the results were similar in I-125 seeds fractional implantation, including a reduction in the number of TRAP-positive cells and an increase in ALP expression level. Additionally, the serum TRACP-5b activity was decreased and the serum PINP concentration was increased following I-125 seeds implantation. Single and fractionated implantation pattern of I-125 radioactive seeds had similar therapeutic efficacy against tumor growth, while brachytherapy with I-125 seeds implantation may be an effective and safe treatment strategy for its potential protection against cancer treatment-induced bone loss.

Context: Calenduloside E (CE), one of the primary natural products found in Aralia elata (Miq.) Seem. (Araliaceae), possesses prominent anti-apoptotic potential. A previous study found that one of the anti-apoptotic CE targets is heat shock protein 90 AB1 (Hsp90AB1) by probe CE-P, while the other targets of CE still need to be identified with more efficient probes. Objective: This study investigates CE analogue (CEA) as one clickable activity-based probe for use in exploring anti-apoptotic CE targets. Materials and methods: Pretreatment of HUVECs with CEA (1.25 μM) for 8 hr, followed by ox-LDL stimulation for 24 h. Flow cytometry analysis and JC-1 staining assays were performed The kinetic constant measurements were tested by the Biacore T200, CM5 Sensor Chip which was activated by using sulpho-NHS/EDC. Ligands were dissolved and injected with a concentration of 12.5, 6.25, 3.125, 1.56, 0.78 and 0 μM. Results: CEA was confirmed to possess an anti-apoptotic effect. The probable targets of CE/CEA were calculated, and as one of the higher scores proteins (Fit values: 0.88/0.86), Hsp90 properly got our attention. Molecular modelling study showed that both CE and CEA could bind to Hsp90 with the similar interaction, and the docking scores (S value) were −7.61 and −7.33. SPR assay provided more evidence to prove that CEA can interact with Hsp90 with the KD value 11.7 µM. Discussion and conclusions: Our results suggest that clickable probe CEA could alleviate ox-LDL induced apoptosis by a similar mechanism of anti-apoptotic CE, and afforded the possibility of identifying additional anti-apoptotic targets of CE.

VITAMIN B1 ,VITAMIN B12 ,CEREBRAL palsy ,NEURONS ,APOPTOSIS - Abstract
Through the roles of vitamin B1 and B12 in neuroprotection and in improving cerebral palsy symptoms have been previously noticed, the action mechanism is still unclear. This study aims to investigate the protective effect of vitamin B1 and B12 on neuron injury in cerebral palsy and to clarify the mechanism of vitamin B1 and B12 inhibiting neurons apoptosis, and to focus on the role of lncRNA MALAT1 in this process. In order to investigate the effect of vitamin B1 and B12 on neurons injury in vivo and on neuron apoptosis in vitro, we, respectively, introduced vitamin B1 and B12 into cerebral palsy rat and in apoptosis-induced N2A neurons by Oxygen Glucose Deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R). Our results demonstrated that vitamin B1 and B12 treatment improved the motor and memory functions and ameliorated the neurons injury in cerebral palsy rats. OGD/R treatment repressed the expression of MALAT1 and BDNF and the phosphorylation of PI3K and Akt, and enhanced the miR-1 expression, which were all reversed by vitamin B1 and B12 treatment in N2A neurons. Vitamin B1 and B12 inhibited miR-1 expression through MALAT1, promoted BDNF expression and activated PI3K/Akt signaling through the MALAT1/miR-1 axis. Vitamin B1 and B12 suppressed neuron apoptosis by up-regulating BDNF via MALAT1/miR-1 pathway. MALAT1 interference abolished the neuroprotective effect of vitamin B1 and B12 in cerebral palsy rats. Collectively, vitamin B1 and B12 up-regulates BDNF and its downstream PI3K/Akt signaling through MALAT1/miR-1 axis, thus suppressing neuron apoptosis and mitigating nerve injury in cerebral palsy rats.

CHINESE medicine ,ECZEMA ,QUALITY of life ,EXPERIMENTAL groups - Abstract
Background: Run Zao Zhi Yang capsule (RZZYC) has been widely applied for eczema treatment as a traditional Chinese medicine, while its efficacy has not been scientifically investigated. Objective: We conducted this multiple-centers, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the effectiveness and safety of RZZYC on the treatment of patients with mild to moderate chronic eczema. Methods: 240 patients were randomly assigned into the experimental group and the placebo group. The primary efficacy indicator was the Eczama Area and Severity Index (EASI) score at week 4. The patient with an EASI score that decreases more than 95% from baseline (EASI 95) was judged as cured. The cured patients were followed up for another 8 weeks. The differences on EASI, Visual Analogue Score (VAS), and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score were compared. Results: The proportions of EASI 95 and EASI 60 in the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group at week4 (p =.002 and p <.001, respectively), the VAS score decreased more significantly in the experimental group at week 4. After 8 weeks follow-up, no difference on recurrence rate and adverse event rate between the two groups was observed. Conclusion: RZZYC provides a good effect on the treatment of mild-to-moderate chronic eczema with a low recurrence and tolerable adverse events, and is a potential treatment that may be implemented in clinical practice.

- Abstract
Objective: To investigate the underlying mechanism of lncRNA myocardial infarction-associated transcript (MIAT) in hypoxic-ischemic (HI)-induced neonatal cerebral palsy. Materials and methods: Neonatal rat model of HI injury was established to detect the motor function. LncRNA MIAT, miR-211, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and caspase-3 expressions were measured by qRT-PCR or western blot. The apoptosis of Neuro2A cells was detected by flow cytometry. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and RNA pull-down assays were performed to confirm the interaction between MIAT and miR-211. Results: Compared with control group, lncRNA MIAT and GDNF were downregulated in striatal tissues of neonatal rats in HI group and oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced ischemic injury of Neuro2A cells, whereas miR-211 was up-regulated in striatal tissues of HI group and OGD-induced ischemic injury of Neuro2A cells. LncRNA MIAT interacted with miR-211, and lncRNA MIAT overexpression reduced neuron apoptosis through miR-211. Besides, GDNF expression was positively regulated by lncRNA MIAT and negatively regulated by miR-211 in Neuro2A cells. In vivo experiment proved MIAT promoted motor function and relieved HI injury. Conclusion: MIAT overexpression reduced apoptosis of Neuro2A cells through miR-211/GDNF, which relieved HI injury of neonatal rats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A new Dy(III) complex, [KDy(sbtc)(H2O)2]·2H2O (1) (KH3sbtc: 5-sulfo-1,2,4benzenetetricarboxylic acid potassium salt), has been synthesized by solvothermal reaction of Dy2O3and KH3sbtc, and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies, elemental analysis, and FTIR. Single crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that1has a 3-D architecture, and there is only one crystallographically independent Dy(III) and K(I) in1. The coordination geometry of Dy(III) is a distorted monocapped tetragonal antiprism and K(I) is also a distorted monocapped tetragonal antiprism. The whole sbtc4−is aμ8-bridge linking four different Dy(III) cations and four different K(I) cations, giving a 3-D network structure. Thermal stability and solid luminescence of1were also investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Two new compounds, [Zn(aip)(phen)]n(1) and [Mn(aip)(phen)]n(2) (H2aip = 5-aminoisophthalic acid, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), have been synthesized by solvothermal methods and structurally characterized. X-ray diffraction analyses indicate that1and2have a 2-D layer structure, with aip2−adopting two coordination motifs. The coordination configuration of the metal plays a crucial role in formation of different topological structures. Thermogravimetric analyses of1and2show considerable thermal stability. The fluorescence of1and2in the solid state has also been investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

DESMOSOMES ,CYTOLOGY - Abstract
The formation and stability of epithelial tissue involves cell adhesion and the connection of the intermediate filaments of contiguous cells, mediated by desmosomes. The cadherin family members Desmocollins (Dsc) and Desmogleins (Dsg) mediate desmosome extracellular adhesion. The main intracellular molecules identified linking Dscs and Dsgs with the intermediate filament network are Plakoglobin (PG), Plakophilins (PPs) and Desmoplakin (DP). Previous studies on desmosome-mediated adhesion have focused on the intracellular domains of Dsc and Dsg because of their capacity to interact with PG, PPs and DP. This study examines the role of the extra cellular domain of Dsg1 upon desmosome stability in MDCK cells. Dsg1 was constructed containing an extra cellular deletion (DsgΔ1EC) and was expressed in MDCK cells. A high expressor DsgΔ1EC/MDCK clone was obtained and analysed for its capacity to form desmosomes in cell monolayers and when growing under mechanical stress in three-dimensional collagen cultures. Phenotypic changes associated with the ectopic expression of Dsg1ΔEC in MDCK cells were: disturbance of the cytokeratin network, a change in the quality and number of desmosomes and impairment of the formation of cysts in suspension cultures. Interestingly, Dsg1ΔEC was not localized in desmosomes, but was still able to maintain its intracytoplasmic interaction with PG, suggesting that the disruptive effects were largely due to PG and/or PP sequestration.
