Function of a low molecular peptide generated by cellulolytic fungi for the degradation of native cellulose
Peptides (MW < 5 kDa) produced by 57 cellulolytic fungi can form free radicals. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and IR spectroscopy showed that the peptide produced by Trichoderma pseudokoningii can break the...

The G1 phase arrest and apoptosis by intrinsic pathway induced by valproic acid inhibit proliferation of BGC-823 gastric carcinoma cells
Recent studies have demonstrated that the histone deacetylation level was closely related to the genesis and development of tumors. Thus, activating histone acetyltransferases and/or suppressing histone deacet...

The contractible subgraph of 5-connected graphs
An edge e of a k-connected graph G is said to be k-removable if G — e is still k-connected. A subgraph H of a k-connected graph is said to be k-contractible if its contraction results still in a k-connected graph...

Collapsible Graphs and Hamiltonicity of Line Graphs
Thomassen conjectured that every 4-connected line graph is Hamiltonian. Chen and Lai (Combinatorics and Graph Theory, vol 95, World Scientific, Singapore, pp 53–69; Conjecture 8.6 of 1995) conjectured that every ...

Exon 19 deletion of epidermal growth factor receptor is associated with prolonged survival in brain metastases from non-small-cell lung cancer
Brain metastasis (BM) is a poor prognostic factor for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Recent studies have shown that oral epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) were effe...

A Note on Edge-Disjoint Hamilton Cycles in Line Graphs
It is well known that if a graph G contains a spanning closed trail, then its line graph L(G) is Hamiltonian. In this note, it is proved that if a graph G with minimum degree at least 4k has k edge-disjoint spann...

On Cyclic Edge-Connectivity and Super-Cyclic Edge-Connectivity of Double-Orbit Graphs
A cyclic edge-cut of a graph G is an edge set, the removal of which separates two cycles. If G has a cyclic edge-cut, then it is said to be cyclically separable. For a cyclically separable graph G, the cyclic edg...
