  • Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disease. Oxidative stress by amyloid beta peptide (Aβ) of neuronal cell is the most cause of AD. In the present study, protective effects of several flavonoids such as kaempferol (K), kaempferol-3-O-glucoside (KG), quercetin (Q) and quercetin-3-β-ᴅ-glucoside (QG) from Aβ25-35 were investigated using C6 glial cell. Treatment of Aβ25-35 to C6 glial cell showed decrease of cell viability, while treatment of flavonoids such as Q and QG increased cell viability. In addition, treatment of flavonoids declined reactive oxygen species (ROS) production compared with Aβ25-35-induced control. The ROS production was increased by treatment of Aβ25-35 to 133.39%, while KG and QG at concentration of 1 μM decreased ROS production to 107.44 and 113.10%, respectively. To study mechanisms of protective effect of these flavonoids against Aβ25-35, the protein expression related to inflammation under Aβ25-35-induced C6 glial cell was investigated. The results showed that C6 glial cell under Aβ25-35-induced oxidative stress up-regulated inflammation-related protein expressions. However, treatment of flavonoids led to reduction of protein expression such as inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase-2 and interleukin-1β. Especially, treatment of KG and QG decreased more effectively inflammation-related protein expression than its aglycones, K and Q. Therefore, the present results indicated that K, Q and its glycosides attenuated Aβ25-35-induced neuronal oxidative stress and inflammation.

  • Background: Males have a higher prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) than females in general, but the reasons for the sex disparity are still obscure. DNA copy number alteration (CNA) is a major feature of solid tumors including HCC, but whether CNA plays a role in sex-related differences in HCC development has never been evaluated. Methods: High-resolution array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was used to examine 17 female and 46 male HCC patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in Shanghai, China. Two-tailed Fisher's exact or ${\chi}^2$ tests was used to compare CNAs between females and males. Results: The overall frequencies and patterns of CNAs in female and male cases were similar. However, female HCC tumors presented more copy number gains compared to those in males on 1q21.3-q22 (76.5% vs. 37.0%, P = 0.009), 11q11 (35.3% vs. 0.0%, P = 0.0002) and 19q13.31-q13.32 (23.5% vs. 0.0%, P = 0.004), and loss on 16p11.2 (35.3% vs. 6.5%, P = 0.009). Relative to females, male cases had greater copy number loss on 11q11 (63.0% vs. 17.6%, P = 0.002). Further analyses showed that 11q11 gain correlated with 19q13.31-q13.32 gain (P = 0.042), 11q11 loss (P = 0.011) and 16p11.2 loss (P = 0.033), while 1q21.3-q22 gain correlated with 19q13.31-q13.32 gain (P = 0.046). Conclusions: These findings suggest that CNAs may play a role in sex-related differences in HBVassociated HCC development.

  • This paper deals with the statistical properties of parameters B and q in the creep crack growth rate (CCGR) law, da/dt=B$(C^*)^q$, in Mod. 9Cr-1Mo (ASME Gr.91) steel which is considered a candidate materials for fabricating next generation nuclear reactors. The CCGR data were obtained by creep crack growth (CCG) tests performed on 1/2-inch compact tension (CT) specimens under an applied load of 5000N at a temperature of $600^{\circ}C$. The CCG behavior was analyzed statistically using the empirical equation between CCGR, da/dt and the creep fracture mechanics parameter, $C^*$. The B and q values were determined for each specimen by the least-squares fitting method. The probability distribution functions for B and q were investigated using normal, log-normal, and Weibull distributions. As far as this study is considered, it can be appeared that B and q followed the log-normal and Weibull distributions. Moreover, a strong positive linear correlation was found between B and q.

  • In this paper, we define a q-analogue of the poly-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials which is generalization of the poly Bernoulli numbers and polynomials including q-polylogarithm function. We also give the relations between generalized poly-Bernoulli polynomials. We derive some relations that are connected with the Stirling numbers of second kind. By using special functions, we investigate some symmetric identities involving q-poly-Bernoulli polynomials.
