Ancient Yi Script Handwriting Sample Repository.

The ancient Yi script has been used for over 8000 years, which can be ranked with Oracle,Sumerian,Egyptian,Mayan and Harappan,and is one of the six ancient scripts in the world. In this article, we collected 2922 handwritten single word samples of commonly used ancient Yi characters. Each character was written by 310 people respectively, with a total of 427,939 valid characters.

BECN1 regulates FADD/RIPK1/Caspase-8 complex formation via RIPK1 ubiquitination by downregulating OTUD1 in MI/R induced myocyte apoptosis.

Background: Cardiomyocyte apoptosis plays a vital role in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury; however, the role of beclin1 (BECN1) remains unclear. This study aimed at revealing the function of BECN1 during cardiomyocyte apoptosis after MI/R injury.

Methods: In vivo, TTC and Evan's blue double staining was applied to verify the gross morphological alteration in both wild type (WT) mice and BECN1 transgene mice (BECN1-TG), and TUNEL staining and western blot were adopted to evaluate the cardiomyocyte apoptosis.

NEDD4 ameliorates myocardial reperfusion injury by preventing macrophages pyroptosis.

Objectives: The inflammatory cascade and cell death post-myocardial ischemia reperfusion (MI/R) are very complex. Despite the understanding that macrophage inflammation has a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of MI/R, the contribution of macrophage inflammatory signals in tailoring the function of vascular endothelium remains unknown.

Materials And Methods: In the present study, we analyzed the effects of NEDD4 on the NLRP3 inflammasome activation-mediated pyroptosis in vitro after an acute pro-inflammatory stimulus and in vivo in a MI/R mouse model.
