The present study aims to investigate the role of interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) in osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) and analyze the underlying signaling of these processes. In this study, IRF4 is upregulated in periodontitis periodontal ligament tissues, as compared to healthy periodontal ligament tissues. IRF4 knockdown increases cell proliferation, decreases levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8, enhances osteogenic activity, and increases the expression of RUNX family transcription factor 2, Collagen I, and Osteocalcin in PDLSCs.

Background: The clinical treatment of long bone defets in the extremities caused by trauma, infection, tumours, and nonunion has been a challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. Bone transport techniques have become the only way to treat such bone defects. However, inevitable difficulties and complications related to bone transport techniques have been reported in many studies.

The Huntington's disease (HD) is still a devastating neurological disease without a specific cure. In this report, the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from two members of a HD family from Southwestern China were reprogrammed into hiPSC lines by an episomal and non-integrating Sendai virus delivery method. The induced HD-hiPSC lines, SPPHi001-A and SPPHi002-A, were expanded and validated for their stem cell-like pluripotency, normal karyotyping, and capability of in vitro differentiation into three germ-layers.

Wireless fingerprinting localization (FL) systems identify locations by building radio fingerprint maps, aiming to provide satisfactory location solutions for the complex environment. However, the radio map is easy to change, and the cost of building a new one is high. One research focus is to transfer knowledge from the old radio maps to a new one.

Although antiviral drugs are available for the treatment of influenza infection, it is an urgent requirement to develop new antiviral drugs regarding the emergence of drug-resistant viruses. The nucleoprotein (NP) is conserved among all influenza A viruses (IAVs) and has no cellular equivalent. Therefore, NP is an ideal target for the development of new IAV inhibitors.

Three series of substituted pyrimidines were designed and synthesized. All target compounds were screened for kinase inhibitory activities against PI3Kα, and most IC50 values were found within the nanomolar range. Compounds 5d and 5p displayed comparable activities relative to the positive control 5a.

Background: Abundant evidence from epidemiological and clinical studies has proven that diabetes mellitus (DM) is correlated with an increased incidence of dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Insulin resistance is considered to play an important role in the associations between DM and dementia. However, whether insulin sensitizer drugs are effective in preventing dementia still remains unclear.

Background: This study aimed to study the dynamic changes of B cell lymphoma/leukaemia 2 (Bcl-2), caspase-3 and heat shock response protein 70 (Hsp70) in blood serum following acute middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats.

Methods: Occlusion of the cerebral artery was accomplished via the intraluminal filament, followed by the TTC staining evaluation and neurological deficit score. Meanwhile, the blood serum was extracted at 0.

We present a simple and fast regularized frequency-stabilizing method for single open- or closed-fringe interferogram demodulation. The proposed method recovers the phase maps of interferograms by establishing a cost function, according to prior knowledge. Because only the phase field to be estimated is employed in the cost function, the optimization process is fast.

The two-dimensional regularized phase-tracking (RPT) technique is one of the most powerful approaches to demodulate a single interferogram with either open or closed fringes. However, it often fails in the cases of complex interferograms and needs well-defined scanning strategies. An improved algorithm based on the RPT is presented in this paper.

Nonnull test is often adopted for aspheric testing. But due to its violation of null condition, the testing rays will follow different paths from the reference and aberrations from the interferometer will not cancel out, leading to widely difference between the obtained surface figure and that of the real, which is called the Retrace-error accordingly. In this paper, retrace error of nonnull aspheric testing is analyzed in detail with conclusions that retrace error has much to do with the aperture, F number and surface shape error of the aspheric under test.
