    Abstract Excessive reductants are used in engineering to ensure a reliable remediation effect of chromite ore processing residue (COPR), however, re-yellowing phenomenon of remediated COPR occurs after some time though the Cr(VI) content meets regulatory requirements after curing period. This problem is due to a negative bias on Cr(VI) determination using USEPA method 3060A. To address this issue, this study tried to reveal the interference mechanisms and proposed two methods to amend the bias. Results of ion concentrations, UV-Vis spectrum, XRD, and XPS together showed that Cr(VI) was reduced by ions (Fe

    Abstract Brain injuries are common complications in patients with thermal burns and are associated with unpleasant outcomes. In clinical settings, it was once believed that brain injuries were not major pathological processes after burn, at least in part due to the unavailability of specific clinical manifestations. Burn-related brain injuries have been studied for more than a century, but the underlying pathophysiology has not been completely clarified. This article reviews the pathological changes in the brain following peripheral burns at the anatomical, histological, cytological, molecular and cognitive levels. Therapeutic indications based on brain injury as well as future directions for research have been summarized and proposed.

    Abstract Excessive reductants are used in engineering to ensure a reliable remediation effect of chromite ore processing residue (COPR), however, re-yellowing phenomenon of remediated COPR occurs after some time though the Cr(VI) content meets regulatory requirements after curing period. This problem is due to a negative bias on Cr(VI) determination using USEPA method 3060A. To address this issue, this study tried to reveal the interference mechanisms and proposed two methods to amend the bias. Results of ion concentrations, UV–Vis spectrum, XRD, and XPS together showed that Cr(VI) was reduced by ions (Fe²⁺, S₅²⁻) in the digestion stage of USEPA method 3060A, and as a result, method 7196A would not reflect the true Cr(VI) concentration. The interference on Cr(VI) determination generated by excess reductants mainly occurs during the curing period of remediated COPR, but it decreases over time as reductants being oxidized gradually by the air. Compared with the thermal oxidation, the chemical oxidation with K₂S₂O₈ prior to alkaline digestion performs better to eliminate the masking effect brought by excess reductants. This study provides an approach on how to accurately determine the Cr(VI) concentration in the remediated COPR. It might be helpful to reduce the occurrence possibility of re-yellowing phenomenon.

    Abstract Aspergillus flavus contamination is common in various food and feed ingredients, and it poses to serious threats to human and animal health. Curcumin is a plant-derived polyphenol that exhibits antifungal activity. In this study, the antifungal effect of curcumin on A. flavus was evaluated, and the underlying mechanism was investigated. Curcumin effectively decreased aflatoxin B1 synthesis and suppressed A. flavus infection in peanut. Curcumin inhibited the mycelial growth and sporulation of A. flavus. Ergosterol biosynthesis in A. flavus was suppressed, and cell membrane permeability was enhanced. The pathogenicity of A. flavus was also reduced by curcumin treatment. Curcumin induced ROS burst in the hyphae of A. flavus, and those damages could be reversed by exogenous superoxide dismutase, suggesting that curcumin inhibited A. flavus possibly via inducing oxidative stress. These results indicate that curcumin has the potential to be used as a preservative to control A. flavus contamination in food and feedstuff.

    Abstract Noisy marginals are a common form of confidentiality-protecting data release and are useful for many downstream tasks such as contingency table analysis, construction of Bayesian networks, and even synthetic data generation. Privacy mechanisms that provide unbiased noisy answers to linear queries (such as marginals) are known as matrix mechanisms. We propose ResidualPlanner, a matrix mechanism for marginals with Gaussian noise that is both optimal and scalable. ResidualPlanner can optimize for many loss functions that can be written as a convex function of marginal variances (prior work was restricted to just one predefined objective function). ResidualPlanner can optimize the accuracy of marginals in large scale settings in seconds, even when the previous state of the art (HDMM) runs out of memory. It even runs on datasets with 100 attributes in a couple of minutes. Furthermore ResidualPlanner can efficiently compute variance/covariance values for each marginal (prior methods quickly run out of memory, even for relatively small datasets).

    Abstract This study was conducted to compare the differences of the whole blood zinc concentration in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as compared to healthy controls, and to explore the correlations of the whole blood zinc level with coronary artery calcification (CAC) and cardiovascular event (CVE) in CKD patients. A total of 170 CKD patients and 62 healthy controls were recruited. The whole blood zinc concentration was determined in using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) method. The degrees of CAC were evaluated by Agatston score based on computed tomography (CT). Regular follow-up visits were performed to record the incidence of CVE, and risk factors were analyzed by COX proportional hazard model and Kaplan-Meier survival curve. There were statistically significant lower zinc levels in CKD patients than in healthy population. The prevalence of CAC was 58.82% in CKD patients. Correlation analysis showed that dialysis duration, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), 25-hydroxyvitamin D

    Abstract Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one of the world's most prevalent malignancies, accounts for 90% of primary liver cancer cases. Recent studies have shown an increased expression of denticles E3 ubiquitin protein ligase homolog (DTL) in several different tumor types, but its function and regulatory mechanisms remain unclear.
    Aims: This study aimed to investigate the expressions of the Cullin4 (CUL4) complex in HCC and elucidate the roles of DTL in HCC cells.
    Methods: The relative expression of the CUL4 complex and its clinical significance were analyzed with The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data, and the level of DTL was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. The functions of DTL1 and upstream E2F1 were evaluated by a Western blot, MTT, transwell, and xenograft in HCC cell lines.
    Results: The elevated mRNA expression of the CUL4 complex, including CUL4B, DDB1 (Damage Specific DNA Binding Protein 1), and DTL, was associated with the overall survival of HCC patients. We also found that the DTL protein was elevated in HCC tissues, and patients with highly expressed DTL and nucleus-located DTL had a poorer survival time. DTL knockdown significantly inhibited cancer proliferation, migration, and invasion. Further experiments showed that E2F1 was an upstream regulatory molecule of DTL, which was bound to the promoter of DTL, promoting the expression of DTL.
    Conclusion: The study results demonstrate that E2F1-DTL signaling promotes the growth, migration, and invasion of HCC cells, which provides new insights and a potential biological target for future HCC therapies.
