    A Study on Wet and Dry Tensile Properties of Wood pulp/Lyocell Wetlace Nonwovens (2017)
    Institute of Physics (IOP)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-11-02
    Description: A new biodegradable wood pulp/Lyocell moist wipe had been developed, which made from wetlaid/spunlace(wetlace) technology. The dry and wet tensile curve characteristics were described and the relationship between dry and wet strength in both machine direction (MD) and cross-machine direction (CD) were investigated. The results indicate that the fabricated wetlace materials are composed of the entanglements and cohesions of wood pulp/Lyocell fibres. The modulus and tensile strength of the materials were obviously decreased in wet state, and the tensile curves in the dry and wet state both can be divided into two parts. It is noted that there exists a high linear correlation between the dry and wet strength in MD or CD. Meanwhile, the diminished amplitude of wet strength in CD is larger than that of wet strength in MD and the relationship fluctuation between the wet and dry strength in CD is significantly higher than that in MD.

    Sexual Dysfunction and Abnormal Androgen Level after Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (2019)
    American Society of Hematology
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-11-13
    Description: Introduction: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially curative or consolidative therapy for a large number of hematological diseases. Sexual dysfunction (SD) and abnormal level of the sexual hormone are common in patients after HSCT, which are usually caused by intensive myeloablative conditioning. The change of sexual hormone level and SD resulted in the poor quality of life in this population after transplantation. The current aims of this study were to determine: (i) the incidence rate of SD and the association with androgen post both autologous (auto) and allogeneic (allo) HSCT; (ii) multi-factors analysis between SD and clinical characteristics, primary diease, donor type, cGVHD, etc; (iii) the association of androgen with cGVHD and glucocorticoid (GC) therapy. Methods: From April 2010 to February 2019, a total of 126 (74 males and 52 females) patients with hematological diseases undergoing HSCT were enrolled in our study. The reason for the small sample of patients was that only 126 patients completed our Sexual Function Questionnaire. Controls were 108 healthy, age and gender matched persons came from Medical Examiniation Center of our hospital. Assessment indexes included clinical characteristics, donor type, GVHD incidence, sex hormone levels, and Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (SFQ). The SFQ was implemented by the team members of our research group through a telephone interview, email, paper letter, and WeChat. All of the information and privacy of each patient was strictly conserved. Results: 1. Clinical characteristics of the 126 patients who underwent HSCT were shown in Table 1. The median age of the patients was 38 years old (range 16-66) and the follow up after HSCT was from 6 months to 7 years. The predominant disease spectra were multiple myeloma (MM) and acute leukemia in auto- and allo-HSCT group, respectively. Our results showed a significant difference in gender (P

    Aging Atlas: a multi-omics database for aging biology (2020)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-10-29
    Description: Organismal aging is driven by interconnected molecular changes encompassing internal and extracellular factors. Combinational analysis of high-throughput ‘multi-omics’ datasets (gathering information from genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and pharmacogenomics), at either populational or single-cell levels, can provide a multi-dimensional, integrated profile of the heterogeneous aging process with unprecedented throughput and detail. These new strategies allow for the exploration of the molecular profile and regulatory status of gene expression during aging, and in turn, facilitate the development of new aging interventions. With a continually growing volume of valuable aging-related data, it is necessary to establish an open and integrated database to support a wide spectrum of aging research. The Aging Atlas database aims to provide a wide range of life science researchers with valuable resources that allow access to a large-scale of gene expression and regulation datasets created by various high-throughput omics technologies. The current implementation includes five modules: transcriptomics (RNA-seq), single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq), epigenomics (ChIP-seq), proteomics (protein–protein interaction), and pharmacogenomics (geroprotective compounds). Aging Atlas provides user-friendly functionalities to explore age-related changes in gene expression, as well as raw data download services. Aging Atlas is freely available at https://bigd.big.ac.cn/aging/index.

    Suppression of mitochondrial transcription initiation complexes changes the balance of replication intermediates of mitochondrial DNA and reduces 7S DNA in cultured human cells (2016)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-25
    Description: Analysis of replicating mammalian mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) suggested that initiation of the replication occurs not only at the specific position, Ori-H but also across a broad zone in mtDNA. We investigated relationship of mitochondrial transcription initiation which takes place upstream of Ori-H and mtDNA replication initiation through analysing the effect of knockdown of mitochondrial transcription factor B2, TFB2M and mitochondrial RNA polymerase, POLRMT, components of the transcription initiation complexes in cultured human cells. Under the conditions where suppression of the transcription initiation complexes was achieved by simultaneous depletion of TFB2M and POLRMT, decrease of replication intermediates of mtDNA RITOLS replication mode accompanied reduction in mtDNA copy number. On the other hand, replication intermediates of coupled leading and lagging strand DNA replication, another proposed replication mode, appeared to be less affected. The findings support the view that the former mode involves transcription from the light strand promoter (LSP), and suggest that initiation of the latter mode is independent from the transcription and has distinct regulation. Further, knockdown of TFB2M alone caused significant decrease of 7S DNA, which implies that transcription initiation complexes formed at the LSP engage 7S DNA synthesis more frequently than the initiation of productive replication and transcription.

    MLML: consistent simultaneous estimates of DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation (2013)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-10-04
    Description: Motivation: The two major epigenetic modifications of cytosines, 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC), coexist with each other in a range of mammalian cell populations. Increasing evidence points to important roles of 5-hmC in demethylation of 5-mC and epigenomic regulation in development. Recently developed experimental methods allow direct single-base profiling of either 5-hmC or 5-mC. Meaningful analyses seem to require combining these experiments with bisulfite sequencing, but doing so naively produces inconsistent estimates of 5-mC or 5-hmC levels. Results: We present a method to jointly model read counts from bisulfite sequencing, oxidative bisulfite sequencing and Tet-Assisted Bisulfite sequencing, providing simultaneous estimates of 5-hmC and 5-mC levels that are consistent across experiment types.

    Acquire: an open-source comprehensive cancer biobanking system (2015)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-05-12
    Description: Motivation: The probability of effective treatment of cancer with a targeted therapeutic can be improved for patients with defined genotypes containing actionable mutations. To this end, many human cancer biobanks are integrating more tightly with genomic sequencing facilities and with those creating and maintaining patient-derived xenografts (PDX) and cell lines to provide renewable resources for translational research. Results: To support the complex data management needs and workflows of several such biobanks, we developed Acquire. It is a robust, secure, web-based, database-backed open-source system that supports all major needs of a modern cancer biobank. Its modules allow for i) up-to-the-minute ‘scoreboard’ and graphical reporting of collections; ii) end user roles and permissions; iii) specimen inventory through caTissue Suite; iv) shipping forms for distribution of specimens to pathology, genomic analysis and PDX/cell line creation facilities; v) robust ad hoc querying; vi) molecular and cellular quality control metrics to track specimens’ progress and quality; vii) public researcher request; viii) resource allocation committee distribution request review and oversight and ix) linkage to available derivatives of specimen. Availability and Implementation: Acquire implements standard controlled vocabularies, ontologies and objects from the NCI, CDISC and others. Here we describe the functionality of the system, its technological stack and the processes it supports. A test version Acquire is available at https://tcrbacquire-stg.research.bcm.edu ; software is available in https://github.com/BCM-DLDCC/Acquire ; and UML models, data and workflow diagrams, behavioral specifications and other documents are available at https://github.com/BCM-DLDCC/Acquire/tree/master/supplementaryMaterials .

    Biochemical characterization of an {alpha}1,2-colitosyltransferase from Escherichia coli O55:H7 (2016)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-03-31
    Description: Colitose, also known as 3,6-dideoxy- l -galactose or 3-deoxy- l -fucose, is one of only five naturally occurring 3,6-dideoxyhexoses. Colitose was found in lipopolysaccharide of a number of infectious bacteria, including Escherichia coli O55 & O111 and Vibrio cholera O22 & O139. To date, no colitosyltransferase (ColT) has been characterized, probably due to the inaccessibility of the sugar donor, GDP-colitose. In this study, starting with chemically prepared colitose, 94.6 mg of GDP-colitose was prepared via a facile and efficient one-pot two-enzyme system involving an l -fucokinase/GDP- l -Fuc pyrophosphorylase and an inorganic pyrophosphatase (EcPpA). WbgN, a putative ColT from E. coli O55:H5 was then cloned, overexpressed, purified and biochemically characterized by using GDP-colitose as a sugar donor. Activity assay and structural identification of the synthetic product clearly demonstrated that wbgN encodes an α1,2-ColT. Biophysical study showed that WbgN does not require metal ion, and is highly active at pH 7.5–9.0. In addition, acceptor specificity study indicated that WbgN exclusively recognizes lacto- N -biose (Galβ1,3-GlcNAc). Most interestingly, it was found that WbgN exhibits similar activity toward GDP- l -Fuc ( k cat / K m = 9.2 min –1 mM –1 ) as that toward GDP-colitose ( k cat / K m = 12 min –1 mM –1 ). Finally, taking advantage of this, type 1 H-antigen was successfully synthesized in preparative scale.

    deepBase v2.0: identification, expression, evolution and function of small RNAs, LncRNAs and circular RNAs from deep-sequencing data (2016)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-01-07
    Description: Small non-coding RNAs (e.g. miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (e.g. lincRNAs and circRNAs) are emerging as key regulators of various cellular processes. However, only a very small fraction of these enigmatic RNAs have been well functionally characterized. In this study, we describe deepBase v2.0 ( http://biocenter.sysu.edu.cn/deepBase/ ), an updated platform, to decode evolution, expression patterns and functions of diverse ncRNAs across 19 species. deepBase v2.0 has been updated to provide the most comprehensive collection of ncRNA-derived small RNAs generated from 588 sRNA-Seq datasets. Moreover, we developed a pipeline named lncSeeker to identify 176 680 high-confidence lncRNAs from 14 species. Temporal and spatial expression patterns of various ncRNAs were profiled. We identified approximately 24 280 primate-specific, 5193 rodent-specific lncRNAs, and 55 highly conserved lncRNA orthologs between human and zebrafish. We annotated 14 867 human circRNAs, 1260 of which are orthologous to mouse circRNAs. By combining expression profiles and functional genomic annotations, we developed lncFunction web-server to predict the function of lncRNAs based on protein-lncRNA co-expression networks. This study is expected to provide considerable resources to facilitate future experimental studies and to uncover ncRNA functions.
