Reduced levels of A20 protein prompted RIPK1-dependent apoptosis and blood-brain barrier breakdown during cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury.

Blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage is an important cause of the exacerbation of pathological features of cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury (CIRI). However, the specific mechanism of BBB leakage is not clear. It was found that the CIRI resulted in RIPK1 activation and subsequent RIPK1-dependent apoptosis (RDA).

Risk and prognosis of second corpus uteri cancer after radiation therapy for pelvic cancer: A population-based analysis.

Background: Radiation therapy (RT) is a standard treatment for the local control of primary pelvic cancers (PPC), yet the risk of second corpus uteri cancer (SCUC) in PPC patients undergoing RT is still controversial. This study investigated the impact of RT on the risk of SCUC and assessed the survival outcome.

Methods: We queried nine cancer registries for PPC cases in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.

MicroRNA-539 inhibits the progression of Wilms' Tumor through downregulation of JAG1 and Notch1/3.

Background: Previous studies demonstrated that miR-539 play an important role in the carcinogenesis of some cancers. The aim of the present study was to determine the role of miR-539 in the pathogenesis of Wilms' Tumor (WT).

Methods: The expression level of miR-539 was measured by qRT-PCR in 42 WT tissues and SK-NEP-1 cell line.

A Two Fiber Bragg Gratings Sensing System to Monitor the Torque of Rotating Shaft.

By fixing two FBGs on the surface of a rotating shaft along the direction of ± 45° and using dynamic wavelength demodulation technology, we propose an optical fiber sensing system to monitor the driving torque and torsion angle of the rotating shaft. In theory, the dependence relation of the dynamic difference of central wavelengths on the torque and torsion angle of the rotating shaft has been deduced. To verify an optical fiber sensing system, a series of sensing experiments have been completed and the measured data are approximately consistent with the theoretical analysis.

[MRI-based follow-up study of spinal tuberculosis in children].

Objective: To investigate the value of MRI follow-up in pediatric patients with spinal tuberculosis.

Methods: From February 2004 to April 2013, MRI imaging data in 21 children with spinal tuberculosis by pathologically and clinically proven were retrospectively analysed. There were 11 males and 10 males, with an average age of 9.

[Typical and non-typical magnetic resonance imaging findings of neonatal hypoglycemic encephalopathy].

Objective: To analyze the typical and non-typical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of neonatal hypoglycemia encephalopathy (NHE).

Methods: The clinical data and MRI findings of 20 cases with NHE were retrospectively evaluated.

Results: Among them, blood glucose values were ≤ 1.

Low-cost vibration sensor based on dual fiber Bragg gratings and light intensity measurement.

A vibration monitoring system based on light intensity measurement has been constructed, and the designed accelerometer is based on steel cantilever frame and dual fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). By using numerical simulations for the dual FBGs, the dependence relationship of the area of main lobes on the difference of initial central wavelengths is obtained and the most optimal choice for the initial value and the vibration amplitude of the difference of central wavelengths of two FBGs is suggested. The vibration monitoring experiments are finished, and the measured data are identical to the simulated results.

[Normal pneumatization time of paranasal sinuses in 799 children: evaluation with magnetic resonance imaging].

Objective: To evaluate the onset of initial pneumatization of paranasal sinuses with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and provides references in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric paranasal sinuses disease.

Methods: The MRI images of paranasal sinuses were retrospectively reviewed for 799 children of 0 month to 15 years old and the first pneumatization time of paranasal sinuses were analyzed.

Results: The ethmoidal sinuses was the first pneumatized in 100% (46/46) of newborn children.
