Opis:
Purpose: The conventional screw is unable to provide enough screw-bone interface strength for osteoporotic cencellous bone, and complications resulting from loosening or failure of the implants remain a significant clinical problem. Hence, the purpose of this study is to investigate pullout strength and energy in three types of the pedicle screws, including conventional solid pedicle screw, cannulated pedicle screw, and cannulated pedicle screw with a central pin, using osteoporotic sawbone test block with different bone cement volumes through pullout force testing. Methods: The control group (n = 15) of the osteoporotic sawbone test block includes groups A, B, and C to reflect three types of the pedicle screws without bone cement augmentation. The cemented group (n = 45) of the osteoporotic sawbone test block includes groups D1, D2, D3, E1, E2, E3, F1, F2, and F3 to reflect three types of the pedicle screws with PMMA bone cement of 2, 3, and 4 mL augmentation. Results: The results showed that the pullout strength and energy in the cemented group were significantly larger than that in the control group. Moreover, the best performances of the pullout strength and energy in the cemented group were evidenced obviously in the case of cannulated pedicle screw with a central pin with 4 mL bone cement augmentation. Conclusions: This study concludes that cement argumentation in the cannulated pedicle screw with a central pin can increase a pullout strength of pedicle screw for severe osteoporotic patients while bone cement of injective volume is limited.

Opis:
Focused gallium (Ga) ion beam technology has been proposed to modify the surface of GaN thin films. Due to the significant advancement in nitride semiconductors, the solid-state light emitting diodes will gradually replace fluorescent lamps in the next decade. However, further improvements in light extraction and power efficiency are still highly desired. GaN is limited by its high refractive index, with low light escape cone angle at about 24.6°. The external quantum efficiency is low due to the unwanted reflection and absorption. As the patterning technology scales down to the nanometer level, photonic crystal lattice in the visible light wavelength range can be achieved. Therefore, we improved the external efficiency by the new design of hexagonal photonic crystal lattice with air hole arrays in the diameter of 150 nm and the depth of 120 nm. The Ga beam was accelerated at 30 kV and the ion current was 100 pA. The plane wave expansion method along with the finite difference time domain was useful to investigate the quantum confinement. The nanopatterning by the focused ion beam could save time and processing step. In addition, we have successfully prepared blue InGaN/GaN samples with hexagonal period of 200 nm. The device micro-photoluminescence results have demonstrated that the peak illumination intensity was improved by 30%.

Opis:
Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) infections are a very important problem in the poultry industry. PhoP-PhoQ is a two-component system that regulates virulence genes in APEC. In this study, we constructed strains that lacked the PhoP or PhoQ genes to assess regulation of APEC pathogenicity by the PhoP-PhoQ two-component system. The PhoP mutant strain AE18, PhoQ mutant strain AE19, and PhoP/PhoQ mutant strain AE20 were constructed by the Red homologous recombination method. Swim plates were used to evaluate the motility of the APEC strains, viable bacteria counting was used to assess adhesion and invasion of chick embryo fibroblasts, and Real-Time PCR was used to measure mRNA expression of virulence genes. We first confirmed that AE18, AE19, and AE20 were successfully constructed from the wild-type AE17 strain. AE18, AE19, and AE20 showed significant decreases in motility of 70.97%, 83.87%, and 37.1%, respectively, in comparison with AE17. Moreover, in comparison with AE17, AE18, AE19, and AE20 showed significant decreases of 63.11%, 65.42%, and 30.26%, respectively, in CEF cell adhesion, and significant decreases of 59.83%, 57.82%, and 37.90%, respectively, in CEF cell invasion. In comparison with AE17, transcript levels of sodA, polA, and iss were significantly decreased in AE18, while transcript levels of fimC and iss were significantly decreased in AE19. Our results demonstrate that deletion of PhoP or PhoQ inhibits invasion and adhesion of APEC to CEF cells and significantly reduces APEC virulence by regulating transcription of virulence genes.

Opis:
The cucurbitane-type triterpenoid glycosides, mogrosides, are the main active components of Siraitia grosvenorii fruit. Squalene and cucurbitadienol are among the intermediates of the biosynthetic pathway for the formation of cucurbitane-type triterpenoid backbones of mogrosides. It is recognized that the exogenous application of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) increases the accumulation of secondary metabolites in various plant species. Here, the effect of MeJA (50, 200, and 500 μM) on the accumulation of squalene and cucurbitadienol in the fruits of S. grosvenorii at 10, 20, and 30 days after flowering (DAF) was tested for the first time. Since mogroside II E is the main cucurbitane-type triterpenoid present at this time, its concentration was also determined. The results show that MeJA can indeed promote squalene and cucurbitadienol accumulation, the application of 500 μM MeJA at 30 DAF being optimal. The concentration of squalene and cucurbitadienol increased up to 0.43 and 4.71 μg/g dry weight (DW), respectively, both of which were 1.2-fold greater than that of the control. The content of mogroside II E increased by 15% over the untreated group. We subsequently analyzed the expression of key genes involved in the mogroside biosynthetic pathway, including the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase gene (SgHMGR), squalene synthetase gene (SgSQS), cucurbitadienol synthase gene (SgCS), and cytochrome P450 (SgCYP450) with quantitative real-time PCR. The results showed that transcriptional levels of these genes were upregulated following the treatment described above. Additionally, their responses in the presence of MeJA was related to the concentration and timing of MeJA treatment.

Opis:
Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is a major bacterial infectious disease that may lead to local or systemic infections in chickens with clinical manifestations. The irp2-fyuA gene cluster has been confirmed to be the main genes involved in the synthesis of HPI. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of the irp2 and fyuA genes in the high pathogenicity island (HPI) of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) on its pathogenicity by knocking out these genes. The ΔAE17 (lacking irp2) and ΔΔAE17 (lacking irp2 and fyuA) strains of APEC were constructed. The ΔAE17 and ΔΔAE17 strains showed significantly impaired capacity to adhere onto DF-1 cells. The LD50 results indicated that the virulence of the ΔAE17 and ΔΔAE17 strains was decreased in comparison with that of the AE17 strain. We concluded that the knock-out of the core HPI genes weakened APEC adhesion onto DF-1 cells, inhibited transcription of virulence genes, and reduced pathogenicity in chicks. The effects of genetic deletion of irp2 and fyuA on APEC were more severe than those produced by deletion of irp2 only, indicating that irp2 and fyuA co-regulate APEC pathogenicity.

Opis:
High pathogenicity islands (HPIs) in Escherichia coli encode genes that are primarily involved in iron uptake and regulation, and confer virulence and pathogenicity. The aim of this study was to investigate the transfer of HPIs in avian E. coli and identify the function of HPI in the acceptor strain. The HPI transfer strain was obtained under conditions of low temperature and low iron abundance, and the donor and acceptor strains were confirmed. E. coli HPIs are transferred by horizontal gene transfer events, which are likely mediated primarily by homologous recombination in HPI-adjacent sequences. Assays for biological activity and pathogenicity changes in the acceptor strain indicated that HPIs might not be involved in pathogenesis in avian E. coli, and thus the main function of HPIs in this strain of bacteria may be to regulate iron nutrition.
