BackgroundCENP-E, one of spindle checkpoint proteins, plays a crucial role in the function of spindle checkpoint. Once CENP-E expression was interrupted, the chromosomes can not separate procedurally, and may result in aneuploidy which is a hallmark of most solid cancers, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We investigate the expression of CENP-E in human hepatocellular carcinoma,. and analyze the effect of low CENP-E expression on chromosome separation in normal liver cell line (LO2).MethodsWe determined its levels in HCC and para-cancerous tissues, human hepatocellular carcinoma-derived cell line (HepG2) and LO2 cell line using real time quantitative PCR (QPCR) and Western blot. Further to know whether reduction in CENP-E expression impairs chromosomes separation in LO2 cells. we knocked down CENP-E using shRNA expressing vector and then count the aneuploid in LO2 cells using chromosomal counts assay.ResultsWe found that both CENP-E mRNA and protein levels were significantly reduced in HCC tissues and HepG2 cells compared with para-cancerous tissues and LO2 cells, respectively. A significantly-increased proportion of aneuploid in these down-knocked LO2 cells compared with those treated with control shRNA vector.ConclusionsTogether with other results, these results reveal that CENP-E expression was reduced in human HCC tissue, and low CENP-E expression result in aneuploidy in LO2 cells.

The plasma generated by dielectric barrier discharge(DBD) with the atmosphere of lasting modifying materials, gives modification to the surfaces of FFC backsheet, which is formed by coating FFC (a tetra-fluoro based material with high content of fluorine) on the double-surfaces of polyester(PET). The research on the character of FFC backsheet before and after DBD modification is hold through a series analyzing ways, such as measuring the surface contact angles and surface energy of FFC backsheet with different plasma modification time and different DBD power density, comparing the preservation of surface energy of FFC backsheet with different storage medium and storage period, observing the surfaces of FFC backsheet through scanning electron microscope(SEM), making use of Fourier transform attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Meanwhile, the soalr cell modules using FFC backsheet and other backsheets are tested under the condition of 85centigrade×85%RH to make comparison between FFC backsheet and other backsheets in various aspects, like the peel strength between backsheet and EVA and so on. All the tests show both the microscopic appearance and surface chemical composition of FFC backsheet is changed after the DBD plasma modification with the atmosphere of lasting modifying materials. After the DBD plasma modifications with a power density of 4.07W/cm 2 and different modification time, the water contact angle for FFC backsheet surface is reduced from 82° to 38°. Comparing with other types of backsheets as the solar cell modules encapsulant materials, FFC backsheet has obvious advantage in humit-heat aging resistant performance of the peel strength with EVA and other respects.

The electromagnetic shielding properties of short carbon fibers and graphite concrete were investigated, and the influence of the contents of the short carbon fibers and graphite on the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of the concrete in low frequency was studied. The mechanism causing the influence of the short carbon fibers adulteration on the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of the graphite concrete at low frequency was investigated. The maximum electromagnetic shielding effectiveness was up to 8.5dB in the low frequency range of 1MHz～1.8GH. The results of the investigation provide the basis for further designing and producing of high-powered electromagnetic shielding concrete at low frequency.
