Variations in submicron aerosol liquid water content and the contribution of chemical components during heavy aerosol pollution episodes in winter in Beijing. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2019; 693:133521. [PMID: 31377367 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.07.327] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2019] [Revised: 07/14/2019] [Accepted: 07/20/2019] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
The aerosol liquid water content (ALWC) of submicron particles (PM1) was calculated in this work by three methods based on the aerosol physical and chemical properties measurement campaigns in winter in Beijing, including (a) the PM1 volume difference between the ambient and dry states by applying the particle number size distribution and particle hygroscopicity measurement; (b) the thermodynamic equilibrium model (ISORROPIA II) based on the chemical composition; and (c) the κ-Köhler theory of chemical composition with a volume mixing scheme. The three methods agreed well with reasonable uncertainties. The ALWC showed an exponential trend depending on the relative humidity (RH), and an abundant ALWC was also favored by the high PM1 mass loading. The contribution of different chemical component to the ALWC was evaluated by the κ-Köhler method, which revealed that during the measurement, the inorganics and organics could contribute to ~80% and ~20%, respectively, under ambient RH conditions, with the largest contributor of ammonium nitrate. When the RH was above 85%, the mass concentration of ALWC was comparable to, or even larger than, that of the dry PM1.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the features of literature on hand-transmitted vibration in China, 1990-2016. Methods: In September 2017, the studies on hand-transmitted vibration in China, which were published in Chinese or English during 1990-2016, with "China" and "Taiwan" as the places where author affiliations were located, were retrieved. A bibliometric analysis was performed to investigate the type of articles, publication time, the journals in which articles were published, author affiliations, author regions, and funding. Results: A total of 205 articles on hand-transmitted vibration were retrieved. There were 7.59 articles on average published annually from 1990 to 2016. In the 205 articles, 114 (55.61%) were published in the journals indexed in one or two core journal databases. In the 64 journals, 22 (34.38%) were indexed in one or two core journal databases. The first authors were from 22 provincial regions (provinces, autonomous regions, or centrally administered municipalities) in China, with 152 articles (74.15%) by the authors in the top five regions. There were a total of 876 authors, and the co-authorship degree was 4.27 (876/205). Most of the first authors (136 articles, 66.34%) were affiliated with universities or institutes for prevention and control of occupational diseases. Among the 205 articles, 103 (50.24%) were original articles or investigations, and 72 (35.12%) were funded. Conclusion: The studies on hand-transmitted vibration fluctuated and increased from 1990 to 2016, with a relatively concentrated distribution in terms of sources, regions, and institutions. Interregional and international academic exchange should be strengthened.

Abstract
The initiation of tumor is a complex process with multi-factor participation, particularly the activation of oncogenes and/or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in tumorigenesis. Additionally, as a metabolic process in cells, autophagy also contributes greatly to differentiation, metastasis and chemoresistance of tumor cells, and has become a central topic in recent years. The understanding of connection between lncRNAs and autophagy as well as their mechanisms underlying tumorigenesis, can provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of tumors.

Neutrophil CD16b crosslinking induces lipid raft-mediated activation of SHP-2 and affects cytokine expression and retarded neutrophil apoptosis. Exp Cell Res 2017; 362:121-131.

Abstract
Two different types of FcRs for IgG are constitutively expressed on the surface of human neutrophils, namely, FcγRIIA (CD32a) and FcγRIIIB (CD16b). Unlike FcγRIIA, FcγRIIIb is GPI anchored to the cell membrane and its signal transduction is still ambiguous. To further understand the signal transduction of CD16b, we compared neutrophil cytokine expression and apoptosis by the cross-linking of CD32a and CD16b respectively. We found that both CD32a and CD16b crosslinking can activate neutrophils, but did not exactly share cytokine expression profiles. On the other hand, CD16b cross-linking retarded neutrophil apoptosis while CD32a promoted it. By interrupting the lipid raft with methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) and inhibiting the ITAM-SYK pathway with an SYK inhibitor (piceatannol), we found reduced apoptosis was at least partially mediated by lipid raft structure, but not the ITAM-SYK pathway. Additionally, CD16b but not CD32a cross-linking triggered SHP-2 phosphorylation and led to its translocation into lipid rafts. SHP-2 phosphorylation and translocation were inhibited by MβCD. Moreover, pre-inhibition of SHP-2 by a specific inhibitor (SHP099) converted IL-10 and SOCS3 expression level and promoted neutrophil apoptosis after CD16b crosslinking. In conclusion, these results, for the first time, collectively indicate that SHP-2 is activated by CD16b crosslinking in neutrophils and functions as a component of the raft-mediated signaling pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the expression level of serum miR135a-5p and its diagnostic value in colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: Serum samples were randomly collected from 60 primary CRC patients, 40 patients with intestinal polyps and 50 healthy controls, and the serum concentrations of miR135a-5p, CEA and CA199 were detected. The relationships between serum miR135a-5p level and clinicopathological parameters were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test. The correlation of serum miR135a-5p level and serum concentrations of CEA or CA199 was analyzed by Pearson's correlation test.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of miR135a-5p, CEA and CA199 as diagnostic indicators. Results: The serum level of miR135a-5p in CRC patient was 2.451 (1.107, 4.413), significantly higher than 0.946 (0.401, 1.942) in the patients with intestinal polyps and 0.949 (0.194, 1.415) in the healthy controls (U = 351.0 and U = 313.0, respectively, P<0.001). The serum level of miR135a-5p in CRC patients was associated with both histological differentiation and clinical stage (P<0.05 for both), however, not correlated with the serum concentration of CEA (r2 = 0.023, P = 0.293) or CA199 (r2 = 0.067, P = 0.068). The AUC of serum miR135a-5p level in CRC patients was 0.832 (0.730-0.930) when compared to the patients with intestinal polyps and was 0.875 (0.800-0.950) when compared with the healthy controls. Conclusions: The serum level of miR135a-5p in CRC patients is significantly higher than that in patients with intestinal polyps and healthy controls, and might be an important diagnostic marker of CRC.

The influence of emission control on particle number size distribution and new particle formation during China's V-Day parade in 2015. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2016; 573:409-419.

Abstract
Temporary strict emission control strategies were conducted to ensure good air quality for China's V-Day parade (August 20-September 3, 2015) in Beijing and nearby cities. The influence of the emission control on particle number size distribution (PNSD) was evaluated based on the long-term measurements of PNSD at a rural site (Shangdianzi) located northeast of Beijing. This study also presented the comparison results of PNSD during the parade in 2015 and the Olympics in 2008 (August 8-23), as well as the same period without strict emission control in 2010-2013 (August 20-September 3). Compared with the same period in 2010-2013 and 2008 Olympics, the accumulation mode particle number concentration showed a significant reduction in 2015, and the PM1 mass concentration decreased by approximately 60-90%. The alleviation of the PM1 was also associated with the weather conditions. The back trajectories analysis results showed that the southerly air mass passing through the polluted areas accounted for 14% of the total back trajectories in 2015, which contributed to approximately 60% in the other years. During the control period in 2015, there were six new particle formation (NPF) events observed, with a higher frequency, but a lower formation rate and growth rate than the same period in 2010-2013. The comparison of the condensation sink (CS), sulfuric acid, solar radiation and relative humidity among the different years indicated that at Shangdianzi station, the first factor in determining the NPF occurrence was the CS, and the second factor could be the concentration level of precursor vapors participating in the NPF event (e.g., sulfuric acid).

Abstract
To better understand the cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activation capacity of aerosol particles in different pollution conditions, a long-term field experiment was carried out at a regional GAW (Global Atmosphere Watch) station in the Yangtze River Delta area of China. The homogeneity of aerosol particles was the highest in clean weather, with the highest active fraction of all the weather types. For pollution with the same visibility, the residual aerosol particles in higher relative humidity weather conditions were more externally mixed and heterogeneous, with a lower hygroscopic capacity. The hygroscopic capacity (κ) of organic aerosols can be classified into 0.1 and 0.2 in different weather types. The particles at ~150 nm were easily activated in haze weather conditions. For CCN predictions, the bulk chemical composition method was closer to observations at low supersaturations (≤0.1%), whereas when the supersaturation was ≥0.2%, the size-resolved chemical composition method was more accurate. As for the mixing state of the aerosol particles, in haze, heavy haze, and severe haze weather conditions CCN predictions based on the internal mixing assumption were robust, whereas for other weather conditions, predictions based on the external mixing assumption were more accurate.

Significant concentration changes of chemical components of PM1 in the Yangtze River Delta area of China and the implications for the formation mechanism of heavy haze-fog pollution. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2015; 538:7-15.

Abstract
Since the winter season of 2013, a number of persistent haze-fog events have occurred in central-eastern China. Continuous measurements of the chemical and physical properties of PM1 at a regional background station in the Yangtze River Delta area of China from 16 Nov. to 18 Dec., 2013 revealed several haze-fog events, among which a heavy haze-fog event occurred between 6 Dec. and 8 Dec. The mean concentration of PM1 was 212μgm(-3) in the heavy haze-fog period, which was about 10 times higher than on clean days and featured a peak mass concentration that reached 298μgm(-3). Organics were the largest contributor to the dramatic rise of PM1 on heavy haze-fog days (average mass concentration of 86μgm(-3)), followed by nitrate (58μgm(-3)), sulfate (35μgm(-3)), ammonium (29μgm(-3)), and chloride (4.0μgm(-3)). Nitrate exhibited the largest increase (~20 factors), associated with a significant increase in NOx. This was mainly attributable to increased coal combustion emissions, relative to motor vehicle emissions, and was caused by short-distance pollutant transport within surrounding areas. Low-volatility oxidized organic aerosols (OA) (LV-OOA) and biomass-burning OA (BBOA) also increased sharply on heavy haze-fog days, exhibiting an enhanced oxidation capacity of the atmosphere and increased emissions from biomass burning. The strengthening of the oxidation capacity during the heavy pollution episode, along with lower solar radiation, was probably due to increased biomass burning, which were important precursors of O3. The prevailing meteorological conditions, including low wind and high relative humidity, and short distance transported gaseous and particulate matter surrounding of the sampling site, coincided with the increased pollutant concentrations mainly from biomass-burning mentioned above to cause the persistent haze-fog event in the YRD area.

Abstract
Background: To verify whether the concentrations and integrity index of circulating cell-free DNA (ccf-DNA) in serum may be clinically useful for the diagnosis and progression monitoring of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Methods: Serum samples were collected from 104 with primary CRC, 85 with operated CRC, 16 with recurrent/metastatic CRC, 63 patients with intestinal polyps and 110 normal controls. Long (247 bp) and short (115 bp) DNA fragments in serum were detected by real-time quantitative PCR by amplifying the ALU repeats (ALU-qPCR). Serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level was detected by ARCHITECT assay. Results: The median absolute serum ALU115 and ALU247/115 in primary CRC group was significantly higher than those in intestinal polyp and normal control groups (both P<0.0001), in recurrent/metastatic CRC was significantly higher compared with primary CRC (P=0.0021, P=0.0018) or operated CRC (P<0.0001, respectively) and during follow-up, ALU115 and ALU247/115 were increased before surgery and decreased significantly after surgery. Conclusions: Combined detection of ALU115, ALU247/115 and CEA could improve the diagnostic efficiency for CRC. Serum DNA concentrations and integrity index may be valuable in early complementary diagnosis and monitoring of progression and prognosis of CRC.

Abstract
Controlling bond-selective chemical reactivity is of great importance and has a broad range of applications. Here, we present a molecular dynamics study of bond selective reactivity of methane and its deuterated isotopologues (i.e., CH(4-x)D(x), x=0,1,2,3,4) on Ni(111) and Pt(111) from first principles calculations. Our simulations allow for reproducing the full C-H bond selectivity recently achieved experimentally via mode-specific vibrational excitation and explain its origin. Moreover, we also predict the hitherto unexplored influence of the molecular translational energy on such a selectivity as well as the conditions under which the full selectivity can be realized for the a priori less active C-D bond.

BLyS expression and JNK activation may form a feedback loop to promote survival and proliferation of multiple myeloma cells. Cytokine 2012; 60:505-13.

Abstract
B-Lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS), a member of tumor necrosis factor superfamily, is a potent co-activator of B cells in vitro, and in vivo induces B cell proliferation and immunoglobulin secretion. Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable malignancy of terminally differentiated B cells (plasma cells). Previous studies have well ascertained that BLyS plays an important contributory role in the pathogenesis and propagation of multiple myeloma by virtue of its ability to promote B cell survival, expansion, and differentiation. However, the intracellular signaling of BLyS in human MM cells remains undefined. This study was designed to see whether there was interaction between MAPK signaling pathway and BLyS expression. It was found that the active protein p-JNK was expressed in KM3, U266 and PBMCs of MM patients, and that the expression of BLyS could be changed by JNK pathway activator and inhibitor. In addition, recombinant BLyS activated JNK pathway, while BLyS siRNA treatment inhibited the activation of JNK pathway. The level of BLyS expression and the activation of JNK pathway were positively correlated. These findings suggest that JNK activation and BLyS expression in MM cells may form a positive feedback loop that promotes the survival and proliferation of MM cells, and these may shed some light on the pathogenesis and treatment of MM.

Abstract
75 patients with acute ame bic dysentery treated with pipemidic acid (PPA) alone and 11 patients with norfloxacin (NFX) alone constituted two study groups and 30 patients treated with metronidazole (MNZ) formed a control group. It was found that the cure rates of PPA, NFX and MNZ were similar (P greater than 0.05), being 98.67%, 100% and 93.33%, respectively; the number of days to become afebrile and to stop abdominal pain in these three groups was also similar (P greater than 0.05); the number of days to stop diarrhea in PPA group was similar to that in NFX (P greater than 0.05), but it was significantly shorter in these two groups than that in the controls (P less than 0.01 and 0.05). As to adverse drug reactions, PPA had the least, NFX was similar to PPA (P greater than 0.05), but MNZ had significantly more than PPA (P less than 0.01).
