Bladder cancer (BCa) is one of the most common cancers in the urinary system among the world. Previous studies suggested that TMEM40 expression level was significantly associated with clinicopathological parameters including histological grade, clinical stage and pT status of bladder cancer. However, the molecular mechanism of TMEM40 in BCa remains poorly understood. Methods: Real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot (WB) were used to examine the expression levels of TMEM40 in

... tissues, paired non-cancer tissues and cell lines. A series of experiments, including CCK-8, wound healing, flow cytometry, transwell and EdU assays were performed to assess the effects of TMEM40 on cell proliferation, cell cycle and apoptosis, migration and invasion. In addition, tumor growth was evaluated in vivo using a xenogenous subcutaneously implant model. All statistical analyses were executed by using the SPSS 20.0 software. All experimental data from three independent experiments were analyzed by Student's t test and results were expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Results: In this study, we identified the role of TMEM40 in the tumorigenesis of bladder cancer and found that it was upregulated in bladder cancer tissues and cell lines, compared with their normal counterparts. The results demonstrated that effective silence of TMEM40 expression suppressed cell proliferation, blocked G1-to-S cell cycle transition, and inhibited cell migration and invasion in human bladder 5637 and EJ cell lines. Consistently, in vivo data showed that TMEM40 silencing could dramatically decreased tumor growth. Further study revealed that TMEM40 knockdown resulted in accumulation of p53 and p21 protein and decrease of c-MYC and cyclin D1 protein. Conclusion: These data suggest that TMEM40 represents a potential oncogene, which exert a crucial role in the proliferation and apoptosis via the p53 signaling pathway in BCa, thus probably serve as a novel candidate biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for patients with BCa.

The richness in the content of various information networks such as social networks and communication networks provides the unprecedented potential for learning high-quality expressive representations without external supervision. This paper investigates how to preserve and extract the abundant information from graph-structured data into embedding space in an unsupervised manner. To this end, we propose a novel concept, Graphical Mutual Information (GMI), to measure the correlation between

... graphs and high-level hidden representations. GMI generalizes the idea of conventional mutual information computations from vector space to the graph domain where measuring mutual information from two aspects of node features and topological structure is indispensable. GMI exhibits several benefits: First, it is invariant to the isomorphic transformation of input graphs---an inevitable constraint in many existing graph representation learning algorithms; Besides, it can be efficiently estimated and maximized by current mutual information estimation methods such as MINE; Finally, our theoretical analysis confirms its correctness and rationality. With the aid of GMI, we develop an unsupervised learning model trained by maximizing GMI between the input and output of a graph neural encoder. Considerable experiments on transductive as well as inductive node classification and link prediction demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art unsupervised counterparts, and even sometimes exceeds the performance of supervised ones.

... evitalized tumor bone (n = 8), prosthetic replacement (n = 11), allograft transplantation (n = 8) and vascularized fibula autograft implantation (n = 4). Amputations were performed in 15 patients. Patients were followed up for 6-16 years. Results: There were no significant difference between LSS and amputation groups regarding disease free survival and local recurrence rates. The actuarial 5-year continuous disease free survival and local recurrence rate were 30.0% and 25.0% in patients of devitalized LSS group, whereas those were 56.5% and 8.7% in patients of non-devitalized reconstruction group. The complication rate was significantly higher in LSS group compared to amputation group (P = 0.003). Conclusion: LSS with non-devitalized procedures is the optimal treatment for osteosarcoma around knee joint area. Prosthesis implantation is the preferred option for bone reconstruction following LSS. Prevention and treatment of postoperative complications should be paid more attention to get good long-term outcomes of surgery.

The 16S rRNA gene and rpoB¢ gene of strain ZS-54-S2 T were phylogenetically related to the corresponding genes of Halobacterium noricense JCM 15102 T (97.5 % and 90.6 % relatedness, respectively), Halobacterium jilantaiense CGMCC 1.5337 T (96.9 and 91.2 %), Halobacterium rubrum CGMCC 1.12575 T (96.8 and 90.3 %) and Halobacterium salinarum CGMCC 1.1958 T (96.5 and 88.4 %). The DNA G+C content of strain ZS-54-S2 T was 66.7 mol%. The phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic properties suggested that strain ZS-54-S2 T (=CGMCC 1.12562 T =JCM 30038 T ) represents a new species of Halobacterium, for which the name Halobacterium litoreum sp. nov. is proposed.

In this regard, we present a review of recent progress in the rapid sintering of nanosilver pastes. Preparation of nanosilver particles and pastes, mechanisms of nanopastes sintering, and different rapid sintering processes are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the properties of sintered joints obtained by different sintering processes such as electric current assisted sintering, spark plasma sintering, and laser sintering, etc. Although the research on rapid sintering processes for nanosilver pastes has made a great breakthrough over the past few decades, investigations on mechanisms of rapid sintering, and the performance of joints fabricated by pastes with different compositions and morphologies are still far from enough.

The triple sequentially fused pentagons (TSFP) motif is one of the basic subunits that could be used for constructing fullerenes, but it violates the isolated pentagon rule (IPR) and has not been found in carbon cages to date. The properties of TSFP-incorporating fullerenes are thus poorly explored both theoretically and experimentally. Reported herein are four chlorinated derivatives of three different fullerene cages, all with the TSFP motif. X-ray crystallographic analyses indicate that the

... olecular strain inherent to the pentagon adjacency of a TSFP is significantly relieved upon exohedral chlorination, leaving one of the four pentagon fusion sites unsaturated and rendering the present derivatives chiral. This unique reactivity, in stark contrast to that of previously reported non-IPR fullerenes containing double fused pentagons or triple directly fused pentagons, can be rationalized by density functional theory calculations, and are expected to stimulate further studies of these new members of the fullerene family, both theoretically and experimentally. F ullerenes are a family of cage-like carbon clusters typically consisting of hexagons and 12 pentagons 1 . Depending on the disposition of the pentagons within the carbon framework, fullerenes can be divided into two distinct types, one characterized by the isolated pentagons and the other by pentagon adjacency. Theoretical and experimental studies have long supported the stability of the first type, generally termed isolated pentagon rule 2 (IPR)satisfying fullerenes. In contrast, IPR-violating or non-IPR fullerenes are highly reactive, a direct consequence of the high strain and reduced aromaticity originating from the pentagon fusion 3,4 . Because of this, pristine IPR-violating fullerenes have remained elusive, despite extensive efforts having been made. These highly reactive species can nevertheless be stabilized, either by endohedral encapsulation of an electron-donating metal atom/cluster 5-7 or by sp 2 -to-sp 3 rehybridization via exohedral derivatization of the active sites associated with the fused pentagons [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] . Note that the latter approach has also been successfully applied to the stabilization of C 58 (ref. 16) and C 62 (refs 17,18), which are non-classical fullerenes incorporating a heptagon and a tetragon, respectively. Two basic configurations of pentagon fusion have been revealed by the structurally characterized derivatives of non-IPR fullerenes, namely double fused pentagons (DFP, Fig. 1a ) 5,6,10,13-16 and triple directly fused pentagons (TDFP, Fig. 1b) 11, 12 . There exists, however, an alternative configuration when three pentagons are fused; instead of sharing a common carbon vertex as in the case of TDFP, the five-membered rings can be fused sequentially (Fig. 1c) . Despite computational predictions 19-23 , this triple sequentially fused pentagons (TSFP) motif has never been verified experimentally. Herein we report four novel fullerene derivatives, #540 C 54 Cl 8 (1), #864 C 56 Cl 12 (2), #4,169 C 66 Cl 6 (3) and #4,169 C 66 Cl 10 (4) obtained by chlorination of the corresponding non-IPR fullerenes #540 C 54 , #864 C 56 and #4,169 C 66 (the nomenclature is specified by a spiral algorithm to differentiate isomers 24 ). They are the first experimentally established fullerene derivatives featuring TSFP. More importantly, the sharing of this motif suggests its prevalence in the making of various fullerenes, and further research on this particular aspect of fullerene chemistry is expected to shed new light on the mechanism(s) responsible for their gas-phase formation. Furthermore, the unique reactivity towards exohedral derivatization (see below) suggests that many opportunities exist for both theoretical and experimental studies of this unique class of non-IPR fullerenes. Thus, the discovery of TSFP fullerenes portends what promises to be an exciting new direction in fullerene chemistry. Results Pure samples of #540 C 54 Cl 8 (1), #864 C 56 Cl 12 (2), #4,169 C 66 Cl 6 (3) and #4,169 C 66 Cl 10 (4) were obtained by multistage recyclic high-performance liquid chromatographic separation from a toluene extract of the fullerene-containing soot (Supplementary Information S1). The purified products are soluble in toluene, chloroform and carbon disulfide, solvents commonly used in fullerene research. The ultraviolet/visible/near-infrared spectra were acquired in toluene solutions (Supplementary Information S2). Single crystals of individual compounds suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were obtained by solvent evaporation of their carbon disulfide or toluene solutions. The structures of the four compounds have been established crystallographically (Supplementary Information S3) and are shown in Fig. 2 .

... he lowest-energy-state phase transitions. In both the small hopping regime and the small atom-field interaction regime, we identify an interesting coexisting phase involving characteristics of both photonic superfluid and atomic insulator. For small hopping, we find that the signature of the photonic superfluid state becomes more pronounced with the increase in total excitation number, and that the boundaries of the various phases shift with respect to the case of N=2. In the limit of small atom-field interaction, the polaritonic superfluid region becomes broader as the total excitation number increases. We demonstrate that the variance of the total excitation number in a single site has a linear dependence on the total excitation number in the large-detuning limit.
