چکیده
Loss of Imprinting (LOI) of IGF2 and over-expressed IGF2 are associated with tumorigenesis. Our previous epidemiological study found a relatively high frequency of IGF2 LOI in healthy mid-gestation pregnant women. The aim of this study is to determine whether the expression of IGF2 is associated with its imprinting status in healthy Chinese pregnant women. The IGF2 imprinting status of 300 pregnant women was analyzed. 20 cases of IGF2 LOI and 20 cases of IGF2 retention of imprinting (ROI) were selected randomly for IGF2 expression analysis. The expression pattern of IGF2 between the group with IGF2 ROI and group with IGF2 LOI in healthy Chinese pregnant women was evaluated by real time PCR and western blot. The result showed no signifi cant diff erences between IGF2 ROI and LOI groups in mRNA and protein levels. These results imply that IGF2 imprinting status has no obvious impact on its expression. There may be some unknown important factors other than imprinting status driving IGF2 expression.

Notes on Conjectures of Zhi-wei Sun
Conjecture 1 (1988-04-23). Let a0, . . . , an−1, b0, . . . , bn−1 ∈ N. Suppose that ∑n−1 r=0 are 2πir/n = ∑n−1 r=0 bre , and that the least prime divisor p = p(n) of n is greater than |{0 6 r < n : ar 6= 0}| and |{0 6 r < n : br 6= 0}|. Then ar = br for all r ∈ R(n) = {0, 1, . . . , n− 1}. Remark 1. M. Newman [Math. Ann. 1971] showed that if c0, . . . , cn−1 ∈ Q, ∑n−1 r=0 cre 2πir/n = 0 and |{0...

We study the rare top decays t → clilj(l = τ, μ, or e) in the framework of topcolor-assisted technicolor(TC2) models. We find that the neutral top-pion π t can produce significant contributions to these processes via the flavor changing couplings π t t̄c and π 0 t lilj . For the π 0 t mass mπt = 150GeV and the parameter ε = 0.08, the branching ratio Br(t→ cττ) can reach 7.1×10−7. Taking into acc...

In the context of topcolor-assisted techicolor(TC2) models, we study the contributions of the neutral top-pion π t to the lepton flavor violating(LFV) processes li → ljγ and li → lj lkll. We find that the present experimental bound on μ → eγ gives severe constraints on the free parameters of TC2 models. Taking into account these constraints, we consider the processes li → lj lkll generated by t...
متن کاملCyclic guanosine monophosphate-dependent protein kinase I promotes adhesion of primary vascular smooth muscle cells.
The cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)/cGMP-dependent protein kinase type I (cGKI) pathway regulates many cellular functions. The current study shows that 8-Br-cGMP stimulates the number of attached primary but not that of subcultured murine vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). These effects of 8-Br-cGMP require the presence of cGKI. In agreement with previous studies, cGKI inhibited the nu...

In the title compound, C(24)H(28)N(4)O(2) (2+)·2Br(-)·2H(2)O, the diimid-azo-lium cation is located on an inversion center. The imidazole and the benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 68.08 (04)°. In the crystal, O-H⋯Br, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds link the diimidazolium cations, the bromide anions and the water mol-ecules into a two-dimensional network.
