Treatment of Organic Compounds in Oxidative Foam Decontamination Waste Liquid by Fenton Oxidation Method

He huaxue yu fangshe huaxue
Oxidative foam decontamination waste liquid could not be treated directly due to high levels of organic compounds. In order to solve this problem, Fenton oxidation method was applied for the first time to degrade organic compounds in foam decontamination

The role of histone modifications in transcription regulation upon DNA damage

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review discusses the critical role of histone modifications in regulating gene expression during the DNA damage response (DDR). By modulating chromatin structure and recruiting repair factors, these post‐translational modifications fine‐tune transcriptional programmes to maintain genomic stability.

In vitro properties of patient serum predict clinical outcome after high dose rate brachytherapy of hepatocellular carcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Following high dose rate brachytherapy (HDR‐BT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), patients were classified as responders and nonresponders. Post‐therapy serum induced increased BrdU incorporation and Cyclin E expression of Huh7 and HepG2 cells in nonresponders, but decreased levels in responders.
