The organ-level molecular response to cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remains inadequately understood and may be heterogeneous. Here, we measured organ-specific gene expression in a piglet model of CPB with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA). Infant piglets underwent peripheral CPB with 75min of DHCA and 6h of critical care after separation from CPB.

This process is a central regulatory mechanism for gene expression and plays a crucial role in the development of complex biological systems. MYC directly upregulates transcription of genes encoding the core components of pre-mRNA splicing machinery.

In this Letter, we study the MBL regime in bond-disordered spin-1/2 XXZ spin chain, finding the multimodal distribution of entanglement entropy in eigenstates, sub-Poissonian level statistics, and revealing a relation between operators and initial states required for examining the breakdown of thermalization in the time evolution of the system. We employ a real space renormalization group scheme to identify these phenomenological features of the MBL regime that extend beyond the standard picture of local integrals of motion relevant for systems with disorder coupled to on-site operators.

Tissue hypoxia and mitochondrial-associated proteins may represent novel candidate biomarkers for poor extracorporeal membrane oxygenation outcomes.
