Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigate the anti-tumor effect of curcumin and whether its mediated by hsa_circ_0136666 through miR-1301-3p/CXCL1 in colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Through multiple experiments, we have drawn the conclusion that curcumin inhibited CRC development through the hsa_circ_0136666/miR-1301-3p/CXCL1 axis, hinting at a novel treatment option for curcumin to prevent CRC development. AIM To determine whether hsa_circ_0136666 involvement in curcumin-triggered CRC progression was mediated by sponging miR-1301-3p. METHODS Cell counting kit-8, colony-forming cell, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine, and flow cytometry assays were carried out to determine cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle progression. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction quantified hsa_circ_0136666, miR-1301-3p, and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (CXCL1), and western blot analysis determined CXCL1, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), and Bcl-2 related X protein (Bax) protein levels. CircBank or starbase software was first used for the prediction of miR-1301-3p binding with hsa_circ_0136666 and CXCL1, followed by RNA pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation, and dual-luciferase reporter assay validation. In vivo experiments were implemented in a murine xenograft model. RESULTS Curcumin blocked CRC cell proliferation but boosted apoptosis. Moreover, elevated hsa_circ_0136666 Levels were observed in CRC cells, which were reduced by curcumin. In vitro, hsa_circ_0136666 overexpression abolished the antitumor activity of CRC cells. Mechanical analysis revealed the ability of hsa_circ_0136666 to sponge miR-1301-3p to modulate CXCL1 levels. CONCLUSION Curcumin inhibited CRC development through the hsa_circ_0136666/miR-1301-3p/CXCL1 axis, hinting at a novel treatment option for curcumin to prevent CRC development.

Abstract
We report an experimental and theoretical investigation into the dynamics of electron-impact ionization of R-carvone. Experimental triple differential cross sections are obtained in asymmetric coplanar kinematic conditions for the ionization of the unresolved combination of the three outermost molecular orbitals (41a-39a) of R-carvone. These cross sections are compared with theoretical cross sections calculated within a molecular 3-body distorted wave (M3DW) framework employing either a proper orientation average or orbital average to account for the random orientation of the molecule probed in the experiment. Here, we observe that the overall scattering behavior observed in the experiment is fairly well reproduced within the M3DW framework when implementing the proper average over orientations. The character of the ionized orbitals also provides some qualitative explanation for the observed scattering behavior. This represents substantial progress when trying to describe the scattering dynamics observed for larger molecules under intermediate-impact energy and asymmetric energy sharing scattering conditions.

Abstract
We have measured (e,2e) triple differential cross sections (TDCS) for the electron-impact ionisation of phenol with coplanar asymmetrical kinematics for an incident electron energy of 250 eV. Experimental measurements of the angular distribution of the slow outgoing electrons at 20 eV are obtained when the incident electron scatters through angles of -5°, -10°, and -15°, respectively. The TDCS data are compared with calculations performed within the molecular 3-body distorted wave model. In this case, a mixed level of agreement, that was dependent on the kinematical condition being probed, was observed between the theoretical and experimental results in the binary peak region. The experimental intensity of the recoil features under all kinematical conditions was relatively small, but was still largely underestimated by the theoretical calculations.

Abstract
The 1e and 3a(1) bands of the ammonia molecule have been studied using the high-resolution electron momentum spectroscopy at impact energies of 1200 and 600 eV. Several slices of 1e and 3a(1) bands in the different binding energy ranges were selected, and their electron-momentum distributions were carefully compared. The discernable difference among the distributions of the selected slices of the 1e band shows that the Jahn-Teller effect indeed influences the electron momentum distribution of the 1e orbital of ammonia.

Abstract
Cross-section data for electron impact induced ionization of bio-molecules are important for modelling the deposition of energy within a biological medium and for gaining knowledge of electron driven processes at the molecular level. Triply differential cross sections have been measured for the electron impact ionization of the outer valence 7b(2) and 10a(1) orbitals of pyrimidine, using the (e, 2e) technique. The measurements have been performed with coplanar asymmetric kinematics, at an incident electron energy of 250 eV and ejected electron energy of 20 eV, for scattered electron angles of -5°, -10°, and -15°. The ejected electron angular range encompasses both the binary and recoil peaks in the triple differential cross section. Corresponding theoretical calculations have been performed using the molecular 3-body distorted wave model and are in reasonably good agreement with the present experiment.

Abstract
The ionization energy spectra and electron momentum distributions of formamide were investigated using the high-resolution electron momentum spectrometer in combination with high level calculations. The observed ionization energy spectra and electron momentum distributions were interpreted using symmetry adapted cluster-configuration interaction theory, outer valence Green function, and DFT-B3LYP methods. The ordering of 10a(') and 2a(") orbitals of formamide was assigned unambiguously by comparing the experimental electron momentum distributions with the corresponding theoretical results, i.e., 10a(') has a lower binding energy. In addition, it was found that the low-frequency wagging vibration of the amino group at room temperature has noticeable effects on the electron momentum distributions. The equilibrium-nuclear-positions-approximation, which was widely used in electron momentum spectroscopy, is not accurate for formamide molecule. The calculations based on the thermal average can evidently improve the agreement with the experimental momentum distributions.

Abstract
The binding energy spectra and momentum distributions of all valence orbitals of propene were studied by electron momentum spectroscopy (EMS) as well as Hartree-Fock and density functional theoretical calculations. The experiment was carried out at impact energies of 1200 eV and 600 eV on the state-of-the-art EMS spectrometer developed at Tsinghua University recently. The experimental momentum profiles of the valence orbitals were obtained and compared with the various theoretical calculations. Moreover, the experiment with a new analysis method presents a strong support for the correct ordering of the orbital 8a' and 1a'', i.e., 9a' < 8a' < 1a'' < 7a'.

Abstract
We report here the direct measurements of electron momentum distributions for ethylene using the (e,2e) reaction at different impact energies from 400 to 2400 eV. The "turn up" effects in the (e,2e) cross sections of the 1b(3g) orbital compared with the plane-wave impulse approximation calculations were observed at low and high momentum regions, and such discrepancies become smaller with the increase of the impact electron energies. It is suggested that the observed discrepancies are due to the distorted-wave effects in molecules, while appropriate theoretical calculations using distorted waves in molecules could not be achieved until now.

Abstract
The electron binding energy spectra and momentum profiles of the valence orbitals of difluoromethane, also known as HFC32 (HFC-hydrofluorocarbon) (CH(2)F(2)), have been studied by using a high resolution (e,2e) electron momentum spectrometer, at an impact energy of 1200 eV plus the binding energy, and by using symmetric noncoplanar kinematics. The experimental momentum profiles of the outer valence orbitals and 4a(1) inner valence orbital are compared with the theoretical momentum distributions calculated using Hartree-Fock and density functional theory (DFT) methods with various basis sets. In general, the shapes of the experimental momentum distributions are well described by both the Hartree-Fock and DFT calculations when large and diffuse basis sets are used. However, the result also shows that it is hard to choose the different calculations for some orbitals, including the methods and the size of the basis sets employed. The pole strength of the ionization peak from the 4a(1) inner valence orbital is estimated.

Abstract
The binding energy spectra and electron distributions in momentum space of the valence orbitals of cyclopentane (C(5)H(10)) are studied by Electron Momentum Spectroscopy (EMS) in a noncoplanar symmetric geometry. The impact energy was 1200 eV plus binding energy and energy resolution of the EMS spectrometer was 1.2 eV. The experimental momentum profiles of the outer valence orbitals are compared with the theoretical momentum distributions calculated using Hartree-Fock and density functional theory (DFT) methods. The shapes of the experimental momentum distributions are generally quite well described by both the Hartree-Fock and DFT calculations when the large and diffuse basis sets are used.
