Open AccessCepharanthine, a regulator of keap1-Nrf2, inhibits gastric cancer growth through oxidative stress and energy metabolism pathway
Cepharanthine (CEP), a bioactive compound derived from Stephania Cephalantha Hayata, is cytotoxic to various malignancies. However, the underlying mechanism of gastric cancer is unknown. CEP inhibited the cellula...

Ginseng-derived panaxadiol ameliorates STZ-induced type 1 diabetes through inhibiting RORγ/IL-17A axis
Retinoic-acid-receptor-related orphan receptor γ (RORγ) is a major transcription factor for proinflammatory IL-17A production. Here, we revealed that the RORγ deficiency protects mice from STZ-induced Type 1 d...

Comparison of D-flip-flops and D-latches: influence on SET susceptibility of the clock distribution network
As technology scales down, clock distribution networks (CDNs) in integrated circuits (ICs) are becoming increasingly sensitive to single-event transients (SETs). The SET occurring in the CDN can even lead to f...

Analysis of single-event transient sensitivity in fully depleted silicon-on-insulator MOSFETs
Based on 3D-TCAD simulations, single-event transient (SET) effects and charge collection mechanisms in fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FDSOI) transistors are investigated. This work presents a comparison ...

Fluorophotometric Determination of Chlorine Dioxide with Chromotropic Acid
Trace amounts of chlorine dioxide in water were detected by a fluorophotometric method that was based on the quenching of fluorescence of chromotropic acid (CA). The interference by various ions in the determi...
