Tunnel oxide passivating contact cells have become the mainstream form of high-performance photovoltaic cells; however, the key factor restricting the further improvement of tunnel oxide passivating contact cell performance lies in the deposition process technology of high-quality polysilicon films. The experimental optimization cost for the deposition of large-sized polysilicon films in low-pressure chemical vapor deposition reactors is enormous when conducted in the temperature range of 800-950 K; hence, the necessity to develop effective computer simulation models becomes urgent. In recent years, our research group has conducted two-dimensional simulation research on large-sized, low-pressure chemical vapor deposition. This article focuses on analyzing the influence of gas-phase chemical reactions on the contribution rate of polysilicon film deposition under a mixed atmosphere of H2 and SiH4. The findings indicate that when using SiH4 as the precursor reactants with a gas pressure not exceeding 100 Pa, SiH4 contributes more than 99.6% to the deposition of polysilicon films, while the contribution rate of intermediates from chemical reactions to film deposition is less than 0.5% with 860-900 K. The influence of temperature on the contribution rate of gas-phase intermediates is negligible. It is found that simulating complex multi-step chemical reactions is highly resource-intensive, making it difficult to achieve the three-dimensional simulations of large-sized tubular LPCVD reactors. Based on the in-depth analysis of the mechanism and simulation results, a simplified model neglecting the complex multi-step chemical reaction process has been proposed. Through employing this refined and simplified model, the two-dimensional simulation of the polysilicon thin films deposition process in the large-sized tubular low pressure chemical vapor deposition reactor will become more effective and resource efficient.
Background: An increasing number of studies demonstrate that abnormal miRNA expression contributes to the advancement of many tumors. Nonetheless, the potential role of miR-125b in multiple myeloma (MM) remains unknown. Objectives: To explore the potential effects and mechanism of miR-125b in MM. Methods: Realtime quantitative PCR was used to measure the expression levels of miR-125b and MKNK2 in a variety of MM samples. Colony formation and cell counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assays were used to assess cell proliferation, the transwell assay was used to evaluate the cell invasion capability, and dual luciferase reporter gene assay and Western blot were used to examine the interaction between miR-125b and MKNK2. Results: The levels of miR-125b were higher in MM tissue samples, alongside increased expression of MKNK2. There was a negative correlation between MKNK2 and miR-125b expression in MM tissues. MKNK2 was identified as a direct target gene of miR-125b in MM cells. Overexpression of miR-125b suppressed MM cell growth, colony formation, and invasion. In addition, MKNK2 was found to mediate the effects of miR-125b on cell proliferation, colony formation, and invasion in MM. Conclusions: miR-125b acts as a suppressive factor in multiple myeloma and can affect the malignant behavior of MM by regulating the expression of MKNK2.

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)-related hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) has been reported in the literature; however, there is almost no literature on the factors related to HL triggering HLH. One hundred forty patients with HL were retrospectively analyzed. The incidence of HL-related HLH (we call HL-related HLH as HL-HLH). And all HL-HLH patients in our cohort had HLH as the first manifestation and its clinical characteristics and the role of intrathoracic infection (ITI) in triggering HLH are discussed. The 140 patients with HL mainly included mixed-cellularity classic HL (MCCHL) in 81 (57.9%), nodular sclerosis classic HL (NSCHL) in 36 (25.7%), and lymphacyte-rich classic HL in 14 (10.0%) patients. Of the 137 patients who underwent chest computed tomography scans on admission, 44 had ITI, and most of these ITI were mildly ill and had no respiratory symptoms. Among 140 HL patients, 8 patients from MCCHL were diagnosed as HL-HLH. Among 81 MCCHL patients, 26 patients with ITI had a significantly higher incidence of HL-HLH than those without ITI (26.9% vs 1.8%, P = .002). The median survival time of 8 cases of HL-HLH was only 2 months. When HL patients were first admitted to the hospital, 5.7% had HLH as the first manifestation, and 32.1% had ITI. These ITI can cooperate with HL to trigger HLH, despite their mild illness. The prognosis of HL-HLH was poor.
Dynamic monitoring ABO chimera including erythroid ABO antigen and anti-A/B is crucial to not only assess the status of erythroid engraftment but also achieve personalized safety transfusion in patients post ABO incompatible hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Transfusion support for ABO incompatible (ABOi) HSCT patients after achieved complete alteration to donor origin still remains cautious because the instant hematopoietic status on these transplant patients possibly returned to patient origin derived from early disease relapse and graft loss or failure. We reported that reemergent anti-B in a female patients (donor/patient: B/O) at the early phase after achievement complete donor type were not effectively found from partial automatic ABO blood grouping systems, which directly resulted in differential judgement of transplantation stage for about 15 days and disturbed the optimal recommendation on transfusion support. Meanwhile, the solely alteration of ABO chimera was found and earlier than changes of other markers such as MRD diagnosis, chimerism analysis by STR-PCR and sex chromosome assays, which can be an available predictors for bad transplant outcomes such as graft failure.
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) can co-exist with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), a phenomenon known as AIHA-associated NHL (AIHA/NHL). However, few studies have reported AIHA/NHL incidence or its clinical characteristics. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 20 AIHA/NHL patients treated at our hospital from 2009 to 2018. AIHA/NHL was presented by only 0.91% of the NHL and 9.8% of the AIHA patients. In addition, AIHA occurred most frequently with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) (7.31%), followed by marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZBL) (6.25%), B-cell lymphoma-unclassified (BCL-U) (4.25%), chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocyte lymphoma (CLL/SLL) (2.50%), and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) (2.30%). In addition to the CLL/SLL patients with impaired bone marrow, 66.7% of the AIHA/NHL patients had lymphoma bone marrow infiltration (LBMI), of which 4 patients presented LBMI in bone marrow smears (BMS) but not in bone marrow biopsy (BMB) and 6 were positive for BMB but not BMS. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates of AIHA/NHL patients were 70%, 30% and 20%, respectively, and they responded poorly to chemotherapy. In conclusion, AIHA can co-exist with various NHLs and the defining clinical characteristic of AIHA/NHL is the high incidence of LBMI. However, both BMS and BMB should be performed to avoid missed diagnosis.
Background: Despite diverse functions in diseases, the prognostic potential of the family of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase genes in acute myeloid leukemia remains unknown. Methods: The messenger RNA expression of the MAP4K family members in 151 patients with acute myeloid leukemia was extracted from the OncoLnc database. Data for gender, age, cytogenetic, leukocyte count, CD34, FAB classification, RUNX1, and TP53 were provided by the University of California-Santa Cruz Xena platform. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression model provided an estimate of the hazard ratio with 95% confidence intervals for overall survival. Results: Analysis demonstrated favorable overall survival in patients with acute myeloid leukemia attributing to high expression of MAP4K3, MAP4K4, and MAP4K5 and low expression of MAP4K1 (adjusted P = .005, P = .022, P = .002, and P = .024; adjusted hazard ratio = 0.490, 95% confidence interval = 0.297-0.809, hazard ratio = 0.598, 95% confidence interval = 0.385-0.928, hazard ratio = 0.490, 95% confidence interval = 0.310-0.776, and hazard ratio = 0.615, 95% confidence interval = 0.403-0.938, respectively). Combining the high-expressing MAP4K3, MAP4K4, and MAP4K5 with the low-expressing MAP4K1 in a joint effect analysis predicted a favorable prognosis of overall survival in acute myeloid leukemia. Conclusion: High expression of MAP4K3, MAP4K4, and MAP4K5 combined with low expression of MAP4K1 can serve as a sensitive tool to predict favorable overall survival in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
Objective To investigate the relationship between long-chain intergenic non-coding RNA324 (LINC00324) and immunophenotype in peripheral blood leukocytes of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Methods Real-time quantitative PCR and bioinformatics databases were utilized to analyze the expression level of LINC00324 in peripheral blood leukocytes and cell lines KG-1, THP-1 and U937 in AML patients. The relationships of the expression level of LINC00324 with the red blood cell and platelet count, the expression levels of LINC00324 and immunophenotypes in 40 AML patients were analyzed by Person correlation analysis. The immunophenotypes included CD14, CD68, CD64, CD11b, CD4, CD45, CD33, HLA-DR, CD163, CD2, CD58, CD117, CD43, CD34, CD99, CD8, CD38, CD10, CD13, CD56, CD7, TdT, CD235a, CD138, CD61, MPO and CD19. Simultaneously, the cBioPortal database datasets (TCGA, NEJM 2013) were used to analyze the clinical characteristics of 173 AML patients, and to analyze the correlations between the expression level of LINC00324 and the peripheral blood blast percentage and white blood cell count in tumor samples. Results The expression of LINC00324 in peripheral blood leukocytes of AML patients was down-regulated, and its expression level was significantly correlated with immunophenotype CD33, red blood cell and platelet count. Analysis of bioinformatics database showed that LINC00324 was under-expressed in myeloid leukemia cell lines. The expression of LINC00324 in AML patients was associated with multiple immunophenotypes such as CD33, CD117, CD11b, CD14 and CD64 and was negatively correlated with peripheral blood blast percentage and white blood cell count. Conclusion LINC00324 may be involved in regulating the differentiation, development and function of immune cells, which providing a new strategy for the development of targeted drugs or treatment of AML.
To investigate the influence of aluminum powder and glass frit in aluminum paste on the performance of the polysilicon solar cell, three kinds of aluminum paste were prepared by using aluminum powder with different size gradations and glass frit with different constituents, in addition, three groups of polysilicon solar cell were produced by applying these three kinds of aluminum paste under the same processing condition.The comparative study shows that, when the small aluminum powder (with size less than 5μm) accounts for more than 50%, the electrical conductivity of aluminum layer will rise significantly.However, aluminum bead can be easily separated out from the surface, this will make silicon wafer rougher;the glass frit richly containing lead can effectively improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cells and reduce the thickness of the recrystallized layer, the warping degree of solar cells will decrease.Under the condition of the optimal workmanship combination, the photoelectronic conversion efficiency of solar cell can reach 17.63%.
Curcumin, a phytochemical component derived from turmeric (Carcuma longa), has been extensively investigated because of its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. Inflammation and oxidative stress play critical roles in posttraumatic cardiomyocyte apoptosis, which contributes to secondary cardiac dysfunction. This research was designed to identify the protective effect of curcumin on posttraumatic cardiac dysfunction and investigate its underlying mechanism. Noble–Collip drum was used to prepare a mechanical trauma (MT) model of rats, and the hemodynamic responses of traumatized rats were observed by ventricular intubation 12h after trauma. Myocardial apoptosis was determined through terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining and caspase-3 activity assay. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by monocytes and myocardial cells were identified through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the intracellular alteration of Ca2+ in cardiomyocytes was examined through confocal microscopy. In vivo, curcumin effectively ameliorated MT-induced secondary cardiac dysfunction and significantly decreased the apoptotic indices of the traumatized myocardial cells. In vitro, curcumin inhibited TNF-α production by monocytes and reduced the circulating TNF-α levels. With curcumin pretreatment, ROS production and Ca2+ overload in H9c2 cells were attenuated when these cells were incubated with traumatic plasma. Therefore, curcumin can effectively ameliorate MT-induced cardiac dysfunction mainly by inhibiting systemic inflammatory responses and by weakening oxidative stress reaction and Ca2+ overload in cardiomyocytes.
Multiple organ dysfunctional syndrome secondary to mechanical trauma (MT) has attracted considerable research attention. The heart is one of the most important organs of the body, and secondary cardiac insufficiency caused by MT seriously affects the quality of life. This study aims to investigate whether proanthocyanidin can alleviate myocardial injury and improve heart function in the process of MT leading to secondary cardiac insufficiency. Noble-Collip drum wasused to prepare MT model in rats. And myocardial apoptosis index was calculated after TUNEL staining. Ventricular intubation was employed to detect heart function. Changes in myocardial ultrastructure were observed using an electron microscope. ELISA was used to detect the content of TNF-α and reactive oxygen species generated from monocytes and cardiomyocytes. The changes in Ca2+ concentration in cardiomyocyte were observed by confocal microscope. Compared with trauma group, the administration group had a decreased apoptosis index of cardiomyocytes, and increased ±dp/dtmax. Meanwhile, proanthocyanidin can inhibit monocytes' TNF-α production, and reduce plasma TNF-α concentration. Moreover, proanthocyanidin can attenuate the excessive oxidative stress reaction of cardiomyocyte, and inhibit calcium overload in cardiomyocytes. In conclusion, proanthocyanidin can effectively ease myocardial damage and improve cardiac function, through anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in secondary cardiac insufficiency caused by MT.

Quercetin is an important dietary flavonoid present in fruits and vegetables and has attracted attention because of its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. Inflammation and oxidative stress play important roles in posttraumatic cardiomyocyte apoptosis, which contributes to secondary cardiac dysfunction. This study investigates the protective effect of quercetin on trauma-induced secondary cardiac injury and the mechanisms involved. Widely accepted nonlethal mechanical trauma models were established. In vivo, cardiomyocyte apoptosis and cardiac dysfunction in rats were assessed using TUNEL staining and a biological mechanic experiment system. In vitro, cell viability, tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), reactive oxygen species (ROS) and [Ca2+]i of H9c2 cells were detected using an MTT assay, ELISA and 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescin diacetate and fluo-4 acetoxymethyl ester assays respectively. Quercetin pretreatment (20 mg/kg i.p.; 0.5 h before trauma) significantly improved posttraumatic cardiomyocyte apoptosis and cardiac dysfunction. Pretreatment with quercetin (20 μM; 24 h before trauma plasma addition) significantly attenuated trauma-induced viability decreases, TNF-α increases, ROS overproduction and [Ca2+]i overload in H9c2 cells. In conclusion, quercetin may reverse posttraumatic cardiac dysfunction by reducing cardiomyocyte apoptosis through the suppression of TNF-α increases, ROS overproduction and Ca2+ overload in cardiomyocytes, representing a potential preventive approach for the treatment of secondary cardiac injury after mechanical trauma.
Background: It is an imperative task to identify the mechanisms responsible for post-traumatic secondary myocardial injury. Our previous experiments showed that mechanical trauma (MT) could induce secondary myocardial injury via oxidative stress. The transient potential receptor M2 (TRPM2) channel has emerged as an important Ca 2+ signaling mechanism in a variety of cells, contributing to cellular functions that include cytokine production, cell motility and cell death. However, the role of TRPM2 channel in nonlethal mechanical traumatic cardiac damage remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether TRPM2 channel is involved in myocardial injury in rats subjected to nonlethal MT. Methods and results: Western blot was used to quantify TRPM2 protein levels in Ventricular myocytes of adult male Sprague Dawley rats. Up-regulation of TRPM2 channel protein was observed in the following 12h after MT. It was observed that plasma harvested from MT rats increased cytosolic Ca 2+ concentration dose-dependently in H9c2 cells. To verify the role of TRPM2 further, we administered TRPM2 blockers flufenamic acid (FFA, 100uM) and clotrimazole (CLZ, 30uM) respectively to inhibit Ca 2+ influx, which leads to attenuated intracelluar Ca 2+ overload and apoptosis induced by MT plasma in H9c2 cells. Those two TRPM2 blockers also improved cardiac dysfunction induced MT in rats. When we used TMB-8 (inhibitor of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ store) to inhibit calcium store mobilization, intracellular Ca 2+ level, apoptosis and cardiac dysfunction were also ameliorated. However, the administration of KBR-7943 (inhibitor of Na/Ca exchanger) did not reverse the pathological process following MT. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that post-trauma pathological phenomena is associated with TRPM2 closely via a redox-sensitive signal transduction pathway (mainly via MT-initiated Ca 2+ influx, even calcium overload pathway) .We propose that treatments like blockage of TRPM2 channel-associated Ca 2+ influx and mobilization, may shed light on the novel therapeutic strategy in reducing cardiac injury and post-trauma multiple organ failure.
Cu2ZnSnS4(CZTS) microparticles were prepared by the liquid reflux method using chemical pure metal chloride and precipitated sulfur as raw materials, and combined with triethylene tetramine, ethylene glycol, triethanolamine and N, N-dimethyl formamide as reducing solvent, respectively. The samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectra to get the crystal structure and phase, and scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and UV-vis-NIR spectroscope to get micro-morphology, chemical composition, optical performance of the product. The influence of reaction temperature and reaction time on the crystal quality, ratio of element, surface morphology and optical performance were studied. The results showed that pure wurtzite structured CZTS microparticles can be obtained while only triethylene tetramine was used as reaction solvent.
With a mixed solvent of triethylenetetramine-ethylene glycol (1:1, v/v), CuInS2 micro-particles were synthesized by an aqueous synthesis method at 200 ℃ for 2h under the open-air condition. The phase constituents, morphology, structure and optical properties of the as-prepared CuInS2 powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometry. The results show that the synthesized products are chalcopyrite CuInS2 micro-particles, which have single phase, high crystallinity and stoichiometric composition, and their optical energy band gaps is 1.43 eV. The react temperature has a great influence on phase and a little influence on morphology under the experimental condition. CuInS2 has the best property when the react temperature is chosen as 200 ℃. The react time has a little influence both on phase and morphology, the reaction is basically completed when the react time is up to 2 h.
ZAO/Cu/ZAO multi-layer transparent conductive film was prepared by direct current(DC) magnetron sputtering method.The effects of Al-doped ZnO(ZAO) layer thickness on the crystal structures and photoelectrical properties of multi-layers were studied by XRD,atomic force microscope,UV-Vis spectrophoto meter and four-point probe method,respectively.The experimental results show that the maximum average transmittance of multi-layers is 86%,a sheet resistance is 10 /sq.The sheet resistance changes slightly while the visible light transmittance changes obviously with the variation of ZAO layer thickness.The ZAO layer of the multi-layers still presents a ZnO crystalline state,with an obvious c-axis orientation trend.This kind of sandwich multi-layer is proposed as a candidate with excellent properties for solar transparent conductive materials.
