    Abstract Objective: Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone cancer that affects mostly children and young adults. Despite the advances in osteosarcoma treatment, the long-term survival rate of metastatic patients has not significantly improved in the past few decades, thus demonstrating the need for novel therapeutic targets or methods to improve metastatic osteosarcoma treatment. In this study we aimed to elucidate the role of miR-659-3p and SRPK1 in osteosarcoma.
    Methods: We evaluated miR-659-3p and SRPK1 function in osteosarcoma cell proliferation, migration, and cell cycle progression in vitro by using gain- and loss-of-function strategies. The effect of miR-659-3p in tumor progression and metastasis was determined by in vivo mouse model.
    Results: We revealed that expression of miR-659-3p was significantly downregulated in osteosarcoma compared with normal bone cells and was inversely correlated with serine-arginine protein kinase 1 (SRPK1) expression. We proved that miR-659-3p targets 3' UTR of SRPK1 and negatively regulates SRPK1 expression in osteosarcoma cells via luciferase assay. In vitro studies revealed that gain of miR-659-3p function inhibited osteosarcoma cells growth, migration, and invasion by down-regulating SRPK1 expression. Inversely, inhibiting miR-659-3p in osteosarcoma cells promoted cell growth, migration, and invasion. Cell cycle profile analysis revealed that miR-659-3p inhibited osteosarcoma cells' G1/G0 phase exit by down-regulating SRPK1 expression. By using an in vivo mouse model, we demonstrated that miR-659-3p inhibits osteosarcoma tumor progression and lung metastasis by inhibiting SRPK1 expression and potentially downstream cell proliferation, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition genes.
    Conclusions: This study demonstrated that miR-659-3p is a potential therapeutic method and SRPK1 is a potential therapeutic target for osteosarcoma treatment.

    Abstract Sum-frequency nonlinear spectroscopy is a powerful tool in investigating physical and chemical properties at gas/liquid, gas/solid, liquid/liquid and liquid/solid interfaces. Fermi resonance is a well-documented anharmonic phenomenon related to molecular vibrational coupling and the energy transfer phenomenon that exists within and between molecules. Such a phenomenon is widely used in the fields of materials, biology and chemistry. Combining density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulation, we present a method of studying sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy for the CH

    Abstract Postpartum blood calcium (Ca) concentration is related to the reproduction and health of cattle. Oral calcium supplements were given to dairy cows after calving to increase blood Ca concentration and reduce the risk of hypocalcemia. However, studies have shown that oral Ca has different effects in preventing disease. The purposes of this study were (i) to conduct a meta-analysis to evaluate the expected effect of oral Ca on incidence of calving-related diseases, pregnancy risk and milk yield in dairy cows, and (ii) to make a quality assessment of these related studies. In total, 22 eligible studies were included in this review. Meta-analysis showed that oral Ca could significantly reduce the incidence of hypocalcemia (clinical hypocalcemia: relative risk (RR) = 0.67, 95% confidence interval (CI) = [0.52, 0.87]; subclinical hypocalcemia: RR = 0.81, CI = [0.72, 0.91]), and incidence of retained placenta (RR = 0.77, CI = [0.62, 0.95]), improved blood Ca concentrations: mean difference (MD) = 0.08; 95% CI = [0.04, 0.11]. For other results, the meta-analysis revealed a lack of evidence of the correlation between oral Ca and serum magnesium (Mg) / phosphorus (P) concentration (Mg: MD = -0.04; 95% CI = [-0.10, 0.02]; P: MD = 0.05; 95% CI = [-0.10, 0.21]) or incidence of other calving-related disorders (metritis: RR = 1.06, CI = [0.94, 1.19]; ketosis: RR = 1.04, CI = [0.91, 1.18]; mastitis: RR = 1.02, CI = [0.86, 1.21]; displacement of the abomasum: RR = 0.81, CI = [0.57, 1.16]) or pregnancy risk (pregnancy risk at first service: RR = 0.99, CI = [0.94, 1.05]; overall pregnancy rate: RR = 1.03, CI = [0.98, 1.08]) or milk yield (MD = 0.44; 95% CI = [-0.24, 1.13]). The distribution of the funnel plot formed by the included studies was symmetrical, and the Egger's test had a

    Abstract The centrosymmetric benzene molecule has zero first-order electric dipole hyperpolarizability, which results in no sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy (SFVS) signal at interfaces, but it shows very strong SFVS experimentally. We perform a theoretical study on its SFVS, which is in good agreement with the experimental results. Its strong SFVS mainly comes from the interfacial electric quadrupole hyperpolarizability rather than the symmetry-breaking electric dipole, bulk electric quadrupole, and interfacial and bulk magnetic dipole hyperpolarizabilities, which provides a novel and completely unconventional point of view.

    Abstract Background: Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone tumor. The survival rate of osteosarcoma patients has not significantly increased in the past decades. Uncovering the mechanisms of malignancy, progression, and metastasis will shed light on the development of new therapeutic targets and treatment for osteosarcoma.
    Aim: The aim of this study is to identify potential osteosarcoma biomarker and/or therapeutic targets by using integrated bioinformatics analysis.
    Methods and results: We utilized existing gene expression datasets to identify differential expressed genes (DEGs) that could serve as osteosarcoma biomarkers or even as therapeutic targets. We found 48 DEGs were overlapped in three datasets. Among these 48 DEGs, PSMD14 was on the top of the up-regulated gene list. We further found that higher PSMD14 expression was correlated with higher risk group (younger age group, ≤20.83 years of age), metastasis within 5 years and higher grade of tumor. Higher PSMD14 expression in osteosarcoma had positive correlation with higher infiltration of CD8+ T cells, neutrophils and myeloid dendritic cells. Kaplan-Myer survival data further revealed that higher expression of PSMD14 predicted significantly worse prognosis (p = .013). Gene set enrichment analysis was further performed for the DEGs related to PSMD14 in osteosarcoma. We found that lower PSMD14 expression group had more immune responses such as interferon γ, α responses, inflammation response etc. However, the higher PSMD14 expression group had more cell proliferation-related biological processes, such as G2M checkpoints and Myc targets. Through establishing protein-protein interaction networks using PSMD14 related DEGs, we identified 10 hub genes that were all ribosomal proteins. These hub genes may play roles in osteosarcoma tumorigenesis, progression and/or metastasis.
    Conclusion: We identified PSMD14 gene as a possible osteosarcoma biomarker, and/or a possible therapeutic target.

    Abstract Topological insulators are emerging materials with insulating bulk and symmetry protected nontrivial surface states. One of the most fascinating transport behaviors in a topological insulator is the quantum anomalous Hall effect, which has been observed in magnetic-topological-insulator-based devices.

    Abstract A rapid, simple, and sensitive technique for the quantitative detection of fluoxetine and norfluoxetine enantiomers in biological fluids was developed based on the combination of field-amplified sample stacking (FASS)-related capillary electrophoresis (CE) with ultrasound-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (UA-DLLME). The extraction efficiency of UA-DLLME was strongly related to extraction time, salt concentration, type of extraction and dispersion solvents, and volume of extraction and dispersion solvents. The extracted fluoxetine and norfluoxetine enantiomers in a mixture of 50% methanol and 50% deionized water were efficiently stacked using FASS and then separated using cyclodextrin-modified CE. Under optimal conditions of FASS (chiral selector, 3 mM trimethyl-β-cyclodextrin; and background electrolyte, 100 mM phosphate buffer) and UA-DLLME (extraction solvent, 200 μL of acetone; and dispersed solvent, 50 μL of C
