[Corrigendum] MicroRNA‑1929‑3p participates in murine cytomegalovirus‑induced hypertensive vascular remodeling through Ednra/NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Following the publication of this article, the authors have realized that the images selected for the 'MCMV+miR‑NC' and 'MCMV+miR‑1929‑3p' data panels (15 months), as featured in the lower of the two rows of data shown in Fig. 4A on p. 726, were derived from the same experimental group.

miR-1929-3p Overexpression Alleviates Murine Cytomegalovirus-Induced Hypertensive Myocardial Remodeling by Suppressing Ednra/NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in the development of essential hypertension (EH). Previously, we found that the expression of miR-1929-3p was decreased in C57BL/6 mice with hypertension induced by murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV). In this study, we explored the role of miR-1929-3p in hypertension myocardial remodeling in MCMV-infected mice.

MicroRNA‑1929‑3p participates in murine cytomegalovirus‑induced hypertensive vascular remodeling through Ednra/NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the development of vascular remodeling in essential hypertension (EH) by mediating the effects of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) on the vascular system. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection on blood pressure and vascular function in mice, in order to elucidate the role of miR‑1929‑3p in this process. For model development, 7‑month‑old C57BL/6J mice were infected with the Smith strain of MCMV, and MCMV DNA, IgG and IgM were detected.

Dynamic Behaviour of Bridge Girders with Trapezoidal Profiled Webs Subjected to Moving Loads.

The aim of this study is to find out the degradation of dynamic behaviour of bridge girders with trapezoidal profiled webs when subjected to different vehicle moving loads. Finite element modelling based parametric analysis is demonstrated to be desirable in capturing the dynamic deflection and stress state of critical structural details of girders. The model is validated in the modal analysis through a comparison with theoretical eigenfrequencies.

Screening and validation of differentially expressed microRNAs and target genes in hypertensive mice induced by cytomegalovirus infection.

Introduction: Multiple studies have suggested an association between cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and essential hypertension (EH). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a critical role in the development of EH by regulating the expression of specific target genes. However, little is known about the role of miRNAs in CMV-induced EH.

[English translation of culture-specific lexicon commonly seen in Huangdi Neijing].

HuangDi NeiJing, the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, a foundational classic of Chinese medical theory, is ranked as the first among the four most important classics of traditional Chinese medicine. Translation of culture-specific Lexicon is a pivot, also a nodus in translating Huangdi Neijing, so, chewing over it is of important meaning for English translation of the Chinese classic or even for that of whole Chinese medicine. In expectation of somewhat contribution to the development of the Chinese medical English discipline, the classification and translation strategy for culture-specific lexicon were discussed by the authors in this paper through an empirical study on comparing the different terms translated in two versions of Huangdi Neijing translation.

[On the English translation of TCM pulse picture terms].

At present, the English translation of TCM terms of pulse picture are various, which would bring confusion to the study and research on TCM diagnostics. In this paper, four principles for the translation are suggested by the authors: to distinguish the nomenclature of term with its connotative explanation, to translate with commonly used words in general, to create new word with common affix and to differentiate the terms similar in meaning. The authors tried to make choice the best translation for each kind pulse picture, and explained the reasons for selection.
