YWHAZ(14-3-3ζ)蛋白在肺腺癌細胞中可能活化Wnt路徑之探討

YWHAZ(14-3-3δ)蛋白被證實在肺腺癌中會引發上皮-間葉的轉變作用(epithelial - mesenchymal transition ; EMT)導致癌轉移,然而其分子機制卻不清楚。先前實驗室利用cDNA微陣列技術(microarray)發現肺腺癌細胞大量表現YWHAZ蛋白會導致Wnt訊息傳遞路徑之相關基因大量表現。因此,本研究目的是探討YWHAZ蛋白在肺腺癌細胞中是否會活化Wnt途徑而引發EMT。\r 本研究結果發現大量表現YWHAZ蛋白除了會增加細胞質中β-catenin的表現量,也會增加細胞核內 β-catenin 和TCF4 的蛋白表現量,並且在細胞核中與β-catenin和TCF4形成複合體;而臨床肺腺癌病患檢體中發現,相較於正常肺葉組織,YWHAZ蛋白與β-catenin在肺癌組織的檢體有較高的表現量,同時少部分會進入細胞核內。經由以上結果,我們推測YWHAZ蛋白可能會結合β-catenin與TCF4蛋白並活化Wnt途徑,因而引發EMT之產生,而促進肺癌轉移。說明YHWAZ蛋白有潛力成為日後診斷肺腺癌的指標蛋白(marker protein),同時亦成為治療肺腺癌的標的蛋白(target protein)。\r 重要性\r 1.提出YWHAZ可能在肺腺癌細胞中活化Wnt訊息傳遞路徑(Wnt signaling pathway)而導致癌轉移。\r 2.再度指出YWHAZ在腫瘤生物學的重要性。\r 3.對於肺腺癌轉移提供了臨床診斷及治療的另一種選擇 ─ YWHAZ。

瓦斯熱水爐一氧化碳觸媒轉化器之研究

瓦斯熱水爐使用大火時廢氣的CO 濃度非常高是導致一氧化碳中毒事件的關鍵原因,要解決這個問題觸媒轉化是一種可行的方式。影響觸媒性能的因素中以活性中心的種類最為重要,我們發現對轉化一氧化碳為二氧化碳的反應而言鈷有最好的催化效果,其次分別為:鎳、銅、鐵。最好的載體是三氧化二鋁,鈷的含量使用10%,煅燒溫度使用300℃可兼顧性能與成本。 本研究中所研發的 Co/Al2O3 觸媒具備有實用的潛力,可以在空間速度高達1000min-1 的情況下將濃度14,632ppm 的CO 百分之百轉化為CO2,而僅需233℃的反應溫度。因此,應該可以應用在瓦斯熱水爐上以降低一氧化碳中毒的風險。 The incorrect usage of a natural gas powered water heater always generates high carbon monoxide concentration in a closed environment. The dangerous CO gas can be fatal to the careless user of the water heater. Catalytic conversion of CO to CO2 can be a convenient method to solve this problem. The effect of the support, the supported metal, loading of the metal, reaction temperature, gas concentration, and reactants flow rate on the performance of the CO oxidation catalysts have been investigated. X-ray diffraction, gas adsorption and Infrared spectroscopy were applied to study the characteristics of catalysts. A 100% conversion of CO to CO2 can be achieved when 1.46% CO/6% oxygen/N2 reactants was catalyzed by a 10% Co/Al2O3 catalyst at 233℃ with a space velocity of 1000min-1 . This reaction condition is sufficient to remove the entire CO generated by a family-sized natural gas water heater.

生生不息-正五邊形的繁衍及算術法則

This study was to explore the nature of two basic constitutes of the regular pentagon,With these two constitutes, the regular pentagon could be multiplied into any times in size. We used four multiplication methodsto show how the regular pentagon enlarge and to verify that the enlarged regular pentagons derived from computer did exist. By integrating these four multiplication rules, we were able to arrange regular pentagon of any length of side, and evidenced the equation was ( If m,n is the number of A,B of a regular pentagon respectively ) When we tried to verify if any regular pentagon could be constituted by other smaller regular pentagons, we found that it was un-dividable only if the length of pentagon side were (the number of A, B were the 2n and 2n-1 item of Lucas Sequence), otherwise, any regular pentagon is able to be constituted by other smaller regular pentagons. The divided forms could be multiple. We also found that any pentagon could be divided by two successive un-dividable pentagons, which is called “standard division rule”. We expected to derive all kinds of division by analysis of two successive un-dividable pentagons in standard division rule. 這個研究起源於一個拼圖玩具:利用兩種黃金三角形排出指定大小的正五邊形。我們的研究動機是:一、 假如無限量供應A 和B,能夠拼出哪些邊長的正五邊形?二、 哪些拼好的正五邊形不能拆成一些較小的正五邊形?我們將研究的主要結果分述如下:

「渦」藏「聖」機--以渦流脫離重新詮釋聖嬰發生的原因

If we place a block in continuous, steadily flowing water, some periodic eddy currents will appear behind it. In my report, I would like to introduce a new way to explain how the periodical movement of eddy currents would help to triggering El Nino. According to my experiment, these eddy currents have a certain life cycle, and the eddy current give a force, which drag water form the area they just went by. It will cause water level became lowest for a period of time. These phenomena are also shown in the real data of “Sea Surface Height Anomaly”, it is a quiescence period, and then changes into the highest one it is interesting that highest one always follows by the starting of El Nino. Another important result from my experiment is that, in the same fluid, the frequency of eddy currents is controlled by 2 variables: Size of the block and velocity of the flow, From this result, then get the frequency of eddy current-occur every 3.2 years. It is just correspond with frequency of historical data the El Nino from the 70’s to the present. 本報告嘗試以南極繞極環流在南美洲南端產生週期性渦流脫離的現象來解釋聖嬰的發生根據水槽實驗的結果,水流在通過障礙物後渦流脫離瞬間,會形成一水位低的空區,之後在周圍的水大量湧入,水位突然升高,並有一段時間的振盪。另外,實驗結果也顯示,渦流形成和脫離頻率大致上和注水流速成正比,且和障礙物的大小成反比。根據此結果,對照實驗結果,我認為1993 年3-4 月,1996 年1-6 月及2001 年7-10 月三個「海平面高度異常」的最低值密集帶,此極可能是渦流脫離的時段。且對照「海平面高度異常」實際資料後,發現「海平面高度異常」的「最低值密集帶」後均伴隨水面「寧靜期」,接著就出現周圍暖水流大量湧入的「最高值密集帶」,此時南美洲東南側海水溫度驟增,接著馬上接續著聖嬰的到來。「海平面高度異常」分析的結果,指示渦流脫離的「最低值密集帶」和顯示著聖嬰到來的「最高密值密集帶」間約間隔半年左右。我們推算水的史托爾數約為1,以這個值代入實際南極繞極環流通過南美洲南端,得到渦流脫離的頻率約每3.2 年一次,和長期聖嬰發生的平均頻率非常接近。

海格的爆尾釘蝦-鹼性電池的探討

鹼性電池使用的電解液均為強鹼,電池中的鋅極會與其發生腐蝕反應,使得電池放電壽命降低,並產生氫氣,而大量氫氣使得電池有爆裂的危險,為了改善上述問題,我們自行設計了氣體觀測儀器,用來檢測銀鋅電池充放電與靜置時之氣體產生量,更藉由探討影響變因的過程找出銀鋅電池較合適之使用條件,其中包含電解液種類及濃度之選擇、電極面積與充電電流對使用效果之影響,並改善電池腐蝕程度;我們將鋅極以浸鍍處理(Sn:Pb =1:1 )並搭配電解液添加物(KOH:Zn(OH)42 -= 2:1) 可效率地抑制氣體產生;更用氯化銀粉末取代傳統氧化銀極片為正極,發現氯化銀可代替氧化銀電極,且有不錯的放電效果。;As we know, the electrolyte solution used in an alkalinebattery is a concentrated alkaline solution, which corrodes the zinc electrode in a battery of this kind. The corrosive reaction not only reduces the lifespan of the battery but also produces hydrogen, causing the battery to explode. This study is intended to help us design a device to measure the quantity of hydrogen gas generated in the charging of a zinc-silver battery. We have studied several factors affecting zinc-silver battery, including the variety of electrolyte, the concentration of alkaline solution, the surface of electrode, and the density of charging current, etc. To reduce the corrosion of zinc electrode, we plate the zinc electrode by the immersion electroless plating method, using several kinds of low-polluting anti-corrosive additives (metallic compounds such as lead and tin). We also add zincate ion into electrolyte solution to further reduce the quantity of hydrogen produced. The experiments show a zinc-silver alkaline battery works most efficiently, if the powder of silver chloride is used instead of silver oxide.

美國紐約世貿中心大樓為何倒塌

The World Trade Center in New York City was collapsed after attacked by the terrorist. Although the design of this building did not consider the attack by the terrorist, however, this event also exposed the weakness of a high-rise building. This study is aimed at examining the cause of the collapse of the World Trade Center. A series of experimental studies was carried out to examine the strength of steel material under elevated temperature. Experimental studies were also performed on model steel frames under fire to simulate the situation of World Trade Center under fire. It is found that the strength of steel structure decayed under fire event. The upper stories lost its support from the floor that was subjected to fire load and the collapse of the floor under fire induced impact load from the upper stories. Progressive failure occurred on the subsequent floors due to the impact from the upper stories. This phenomenon was also observed in the experimental study of the model frame tests. This study has successful reproduced the failure mode of the World Trade Center in New York City. 紐約世界貿易中心大樓在遭遇恐怖份子攻擊後倒塌,雖然大樓之設計可能並未考慮恐怖份子的攻擊,但此次事件亦暴露超高層大樓的脆弱,本研究乃探討紐約世貿大樓破壞之原因,研究過程中首先以一系列之試驗探討鋼鐵材料在高溫下之行為,尤其是高溫對鋼材強度之影響。其次並進行鋼骨模型骨架受火燒之破壞試驗,發現在高溫燒烤下鋼骨軟化而失去承載能力,而無法承載上方樓層之重量,上方樓層倒塌後往下形成一衝擊力,並造成往下連續之衝擊,最後導致整體結構倒塌,模型結構試驗亦證實世貿大樓之破壞模式

創新儀器測量光的繞射與干涉之強度分佈

Light diffraction and interference are two of most basic experiments, but they’re the most powerful evident of wave properties of light. Due to the lack of high-quality and fairly accurate equipment, these important experiments are limited to the simple demonstration of the phenomena. Especially, the spatial intensity variations of diffraction and interference patterns are, however, completely not drawn to scale. In order to precisely measure the diffraction and interference patterns intensity, we consult lots of reference, search for suitable materials and reuse waste old and useless laser printers. Finally, overcoming disadvantages of time consumption and poor spatial resolution, we develop two accurate, practical and delicate methods. We use optical power control circuit created on our own to steady the brightness emitting of laser diode. Then the high linear photoelectric detector is stored on XYZ axis micro movement control platform. Next high degree of reflection rotating polygon mirror employing optical lever is collocated with low vibration blushless motor. Thus, a self-scanning intensity pattern plotter is accomplished. At the same time, it overcome difficulties like time wasting and low reliability during doing these kind of optical experiments. In this article these two dependable and worth popularizing measurements of light diffraction and interference is going to be introduced. 光的繞射與干涉實驗是光學中最基本的實驗之一,也是證明光的波動性質之最主要的依據。在一般的高中物理實驗室中受限於器材的等級與精度,只能對光的繞射與干涉做近似定性的實驗,尤其是繞射、干涉圖形上的光能量分佈,完全無法以現有的器材做精準的測量。 在這一年的專題研究中,我們小組針對測量光的繞射、干涉能量分佈為目標,參閱許多相關文獻,四處尋找適用的材料及零件,發揮廢物利用的精神,克服萬難,發展出兩種精巧、實用又準確的測量方法,我們以自行發展的光功率控制電路使雷射二極體的光度穩定,並且以高線性度的光感測元件裝載在自行設計的X.Y.Z微動機台上,同時利用光槓桿原理所構成的高反射度的旋轉六面鏡,配合低震動的無刷馬達,完成了一套能自動掃瞄繞射能量分佈曲線的測試儀,經實際使用相當地穩定可靠,可以快速而精確地獲得大量的實驗數據,比對這些數據不僅能驗證繞射理論,並能更深入地延伸理論的探討。
