    Abstract The tensile behavior of Sn-Bi-Cu and Sn-Bi-Ni alloys has been widely investigated. Reportedly, the addition of small amounts of a third element can refine the microstructures of the eutectic Sn-58mass% Bi solder and improve its ductility. However, the superplasticity mechanism of Sn-based alloys has not been clearly established. Therefore, in this study, the effects of Sb and Zn addition on the microstructures and tensile properties of Sn-Bi-based alloys were investigated. The alloys were subjected to tensile tests under various strain rates and temperatures. We found that Zn- and Sb-added Sn-Bi-based alloys demonstrated superplastic deformation at high temperatures and low strain rates. Sb addition significantly affected the elongation of the Sn-Bi-Sb alloys because the metal dissolves in both the primary Sn phase and the eutectic Sn-Bi matrix. The segregation of Zn and formation of needle-like Zn particles at the eutectic Sn-Bi phase boundary affected the superplastic deformation of the alloys. The deformation of the Sn-40Bi-based alloys at high temperatures and low strain rates led to dynamic recovery, dynamic recrystallization, and/or grain boundary slip because of the accumulation of voids.

    Abstract In Cambodia, rice is predominantly produced in areas with rainfed lowland conditions where photoperiod-sensitive varieties are cultivated. A number of varieties have been released for rainfed lowland areas, and the rice grain yield has reportedly increased by approximately 12% over the past ten years. Moreover, great fluctuations in yield performance have been observed across different soil types of the rainfed ecosystems of Cambodia. Therefore, the present study aimed to analyze the grain yield and stability among ten popular varieties that were released for rainfed lowland ecosystems across the four different soil types in Cambodia in two years. The grain yield varied 566 g m⁻² as the highest in clay soil and about 220 g m⁻² as the lowest in sandy soil. A combined ANOVA revealed significant differences for the main effect of genotype, environment, and genotype-by-environment interaction (GEI) for all yield-related traits and grain yield per square meter. The principal component test results showed that the heterogeneity of grain yield was mainly attributable to the effect of environment, followed by the effect of genotype. In fertile conditions, a higher percentage of filled grains was supported by higher leaf N until the late stage with a wider flag leaf. In conditions of moderate fertility, larger numbers of panicles were supported by a higher percentage of productive culms with higher leaf N until the late stage. In conditions of poor fertility, a higher percentage of filled grains was supported by higher leaf N until the late stage, which is considered to be important for higher grain yield. The variety Phka Rumduol showed these preferable traits and produced higher yields in fertile to poor natural soil fertility conditions with moderate variation. This variety is considered to be more desirable and ideal due to its stability and higher grain yield. The other varieties, namely, Phka Mealdei, Phka Rumdeng, and CAR4, were identified as above-average yielders. Therefore, those varieties potentially may be recommended for cultivation in rainfed lowland rice ecosystems in Cambodia due to their high yields. CAR4 showed moderate variation at the same level as Phka Rumduol. From the point of stability, Phka Rumduol and CAR4 can be expected to excel.

    Abstract Avoiding fatigue is a long-standing challenge in both healthy and diseased individuals. Establishing objective standard markers of fatigue is essential to evaluate conditions in spatiotemporally different locations and individuals and identify agents to fight against fatigue. Herein, we introduced a novel method for evaluating fatigue using nervous system markers (including dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline), various cytokine levels (such as interleukin [IL]-1β, tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-α, IL-10, IL-2, IL-5 and IL-17A), and oxidative stress markers (such as diacron-reactive oxygen metabolites [d-ROMs] and biological antioxidant potential [BAP]) in a rat fatigue model. Using this method, the anti-fatigue effects of methyl dihydrojasmonate (MDJ) and linalool, the fragrance/flavor compounds used in various products, were assessed. Our method evaluated the anti-fatigue effects of the aforementioned compounds based on the changes in levels of the nerves system markers, cytokines, and oxidative stress markers. MDJ exerted more potent anti-fatigue effects than linalool. In conclusion, the reported method could serve as a useful tool for fatigue studies and these compounds may act as effective therapeutic agents for abrogating fatigue symptoms.

    Abstract Recent studies have provided evidence for the direct binding of thioredoxin-1 (TRX1) to a component of inflammasome complex NLR family pyrin domain containing 1 (NLRP-1). This interaction suggests a potential role for TRX1 in the regulation of the NLRP-1 inflammasome. Furthermore, the NLRP-3 inflammasome is known to bind TRX1 and its inhibitor, TRX-binding protein-2/TRX-interacting protein/vitamin D3 upregulated protein-1 (TBP2/TXNIP/VDUP-1). This binding forms a redox-sensitive complex, termed the "Redoxisome," as described previously. However, the specific functions of NLRP-1 within the redoxisome complex remain undefined.

    Abstract Objective: We previously reported that dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 3 (DKK3) expression is correlated with poorer prognosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Here we investigated DKK3 expression by using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) public database and bioinformatic analyses.
    Methods: We used the RNA sequence data and divided the tumor samples into "DKK3-high" and "DKK3-low" groups according to median DKK3 expression. The correlations between DKK3 expression and the clinical data were investigated. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected using DESEq2 and analyzed by ShinyGO 0.77. A gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was also performed using GSEA software. The DEGs were also analyzed with TargetMine to establish the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network.
    Results: DKK3 expression was significantly increased in cancer samples, and a high DKK3 expression was significantly associated with shorter overall survival. We identified 854 DEGs, including 284 up-regulated and 570 down-regulated. Functional enrichment analyses revealed several Gene Ontology (GO) terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways associated with extracellular matrix remodeling. The PPI network identified COL8A1, AGTR1, FN1, P4HA3, PDGFRB, and CEP126 as the key genes.
    Conclusions: These results suggested the cancer-promoting ability of DKK3, the expression of which is a promising prognostic marker and therapeutic target for HNSCC.

    Abstract Superoxide-producing NADPH oxidase, gp91ᵖʰᵒˣ/NOX2, in phagocytes plays a critical role in the host defenses against pathogens. Moreover, gp91ᵖʰᵒˣ/NOX2 contributes to the oxidative stress in endothelial cells. Therefore, investigating the level of gp91ᵖʰᵒˣ/NOX2 with immunoblotting is important for estimating the amount of superoxide produced. Here, we showed that the epitopes in human gp91ᵖʰᵒˣ/NOX2 recognized by monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) CL-5 and 48 were in amino acids 132–147 and 136–144, respectively. Although the epitopes were close to the N-glycosylation sites, N-glycan maturation did not affect mAbs recognition. When Pro-136 was substituted with Arg, the corresponding mouse residue, human gp91ᵖʰᵒˣ/NOX2 was not recognized by mAbs CL-5 and 48; however, the substitution did not affect gp91ᵖʰᵒˣ/NOX2-based oxidase activity. This finding explains why these mAbs specifically recognize the human but not mouse gp91ᵖʰᵒˣ/NOX2. Hence, these mAbs are useful for investigating the level of gp91ᵖʰᵒˣ/NOX2 without amino acid substitutions in the epitopes.
