It could be detected that PRDX6 and CypA are associated with tumorigenesis in TSCCs. High levels of CypA expression may predict reduced survival time.

Selenium nanowires with a diameter of about 70 nm and a growth direction along [001] were fabricated via a facile solution method. Photoconductive properties of Se wires were systematically characterized via photodetectors made of single Se nanowire. The photodetectors exhibited a high light on-off current ratio (Ilight/ Idark) of 450, and a fast light response speed of millisecond rise/fall time with excellent stability and reproducibility. It was also observed that the response time strongly depend on the intensity of the illumination light: the rise time and fall time for a typical photodetector is 0.68/1.85, 0.53/1.70, 0.54/1.65, 0.51/1.59, and 0.49/1.58 ms for light intensity of 0.18, 0.26, 0.43, 0.96, and 1.89 mW/cm2, respectively, and the relationship between the light intensity and the photocurrent can be fitted by using a simple power law. The diameters of the nanowire were found to have a significant influence on the response speed with smaller Se nanowires showing higher response speed. Finally, the mechanisms of photoconduction and factors affecting the performance of the photodetectors were elucidated.

The genus Colletotrichum contains many important plant pathogens mainly distributed in tropical areas. Previous studies that utilized morphology or single genes have failed to resolve the phylogenetic relationships among the species. In this study, sequences of β-tubulin, 28S ribosomal DNA, and ITS region from nine species were analyzed separately and combined to establish a fast method to infer the phylogeny of Colletotrichum using maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian inference methods. The tree topologies inferred from the combined data set received higher bootstrap and posterior probability support than those inferred from the individual data sets. Obtained phylogenies highly supported C. capsici as the earliest diverging lineage followed by C. nymphaeae. The remaining seven species clustered into two distinct clades. Clade 1 consists of two monophyletic subclades: C. circinans, C. trichellum, and C. caudatum form one subclade and three accessions of C. dematium form another subclade. In Clade 2, C. incarnatum is in the basal-most clade. Three accessions of C. musae and C. caricae form a strongly supported clade indicating their close relationship. Spore shape analysis reveals an interesting evolutionary trend in the spore shape from acute- to obtuse-ended conidia and from curved to straight conidia in the sampled group of species. A quick and reliable way to infer the phylogeny of Colletotrichum based on combined DNA sequence data is presented in this paper.
