In order to investigate the effects of Zhu-tan Tong-luo decoction on the metabolic capacity of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, a cocktail method was employed to evaluate the activities of CYP2B6, CYP2C19, CYP1A2, CYP3A4, CYP2C9, CYP2D6. The rats were randomly divided into acute Zhu-Tan Tong-Luo decoction group (Low, High), chronic Zhu-Tan Tong-Luo decoction group (Low, High) and control group. T...

The theoretical model for explanation of the so-called "long range proximity effect" (temperature independent and extremely large supercurrent decay length g,' z 10 50nm) of the HTS Josephson junctions with semiconductor oxide interlayer is proposed. It is suggested that the resonant tunneling via a large number of single localized states (LS) in the interlayer is responsible for this effect. W...

Two-dimensional materials, such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, and phosphorene, can be used to construct van der Waals multilayer structures. This approach has shown potentials to produce new materials that combine novel properties of the participating individual layers. One key requirement for effectively harnessing emergent properties of these materials is electronic connectio...

The electric dipole moment of the muon (dμ) is evaluated in a two Higgs doublet model with a softly broken discrete symmetry. For tan β ≡ |v2|/|v1| ∼ 1, contributions from two loop diagrams involving the t quark and the W boson dominate; while for tan β ∼ > 10, contributions from two loop diagrams involving the b quark and the τ lepton are dominant. For 8 ∼ > tan β ∼ > 4, significant cancellati...

van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures are promising building blocks for future ultrathin electronics. Fabricating vdW heterostructures by stamping monolayers at arbitrary angles provides an additional range of flexibility to tailor the resulting properties than could be expected by direct growth. Here, we report fabrication and comprehensive characterizations of WSe2/WS2 bilayer heterojunctions ...

OF DISSERTATION THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SYSTEMS TO STUDY THE PHYSICAL PROPERITES OF TANTALUM TRISULFIDE AND SMALL-MOLECULE ORGANIC SEMICONDUCTORS The charge-density-wave (CDW) material orthorhombic tantalum trisulfide (TaS3) is a quasi-one dimensional material that forms long ribbon shaped crystals, and exhibits unique physical behavior. We have measured the dependence of the hyst...

Tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA), as a bioactive compound extracted from the dried roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza (also known as Danshen), is known to inhibit cancer cell proliferation and induce apoptosis. However, the mechanisms underlying the function of Tan IIA in cancer cell apoptosis remain to be elucidated The aim of the present study was to identify the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti‑ca...

When the ligand 1,4,5-triazanaphthalene (abbreviated as tan) is reacted with Cu(II) BF(4)(-) and ClO(4)(-) salts, a variety of mononuclear compounds has been found, all with the [Cu(tan)(4)] unit and varying amounts of weakly coordinating axial ligands and lattice solvents. Reproducible compounds formed include two purple compounds, analyzing as [Cu(tan)(4)](ClO(4))(2)(CH(3)OH)(2)(H(2)O) (1) an...

Translocation-associated Notch homologue (TAN-1), a gene originally cloned from the translocation breakpoint of a human T cell leukemia carrying a 9:7(q34.3) translocation, encodes a protein belonging to the Notch/Lin-12/Glp-1 receptor family. These receptors mediate the specification of numerous cell fates during development in invertebrates and vertebrates. The intracellular portion of Notch/...
