LncRNA SNHG15 regulates hypoxic-ischemic brain injury via miR-153-3p/SETD7 axis.

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a leading cause of fatality and morbidity in newborns. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) Small Nucleolar RNA Host Gene 15 (SNHG15) was elevated in the peripheral blood of patients with acute cerebral ischemia, but its role in HI brain injury remained elusive. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the effect of SNHG15 on HI brain injury and study the precise mechanism of action.

Effect of High-Voltage Additives on Formation of Solid Electrolyte Interphases in Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formed at the interface in lithium-ion batteries plays an important role in isolating electrons and permeating ions during charging/discharging processes. Therefore, the formation of a good interface is crucial for better battery performance. In this study, additives based on adiponitrile (ADN) and trimethyl borate (TMB) were employed to broaden the electrochemical window and form a good SEI layer.

Indication of Strongly Correlated Electron Transport and Mott Insulator in Disordered Multilayer Ferritin Structures (DMFS).

Electron tunneling in ferritin and between ferritin cores (a transition metal (iron) oxide storage protein) in disordered arrays has been extensively documented, but the electrical behavior of those structures in circuits with more than two electrodes has not been studied. Tests of devices using a layer-by-layer deposition process for forming multilayer arrays of ferritin that have been previously reported indicate that strongly correlated electron transport is occurring, consistent with models of electron transport in quantum dots. Strongly correlated electrons (electrons that engage in strong electron-electron interactions) have been observed in transition metal oxides and quantum dots and can create unusual material behavior that is difficult to model, such as switching between a low resistance metal state and a high resistance Mott insulator state.

[Relationship between fetal growth restriction and angiogenesis factors].

Placenta is an important organ to maintain fetal growth, metabolism, maternal and fetal physiologic balance. Angiogenesis is a critical factor in placental development involved in fetal blood circulation and vascular changes in the endometrium and placenta. Angiogenesis is closely related to angiogenesis factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor and placenta growth factor.

Diagnostic value of stool DNA testing for multiple markers of colorectal cancer and advanced adenoma: a meta-analysis.

Background And Objectives: The diagnostic value of stool DNA (sDNA) testing for colorectal neoplasms remains controversial. To compensate for the lack of large-scale unbiased population studies, a meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of sDNA testing for multiple markers of colorectal cancer (CRC) and advanced adenoma.

Methods: The PubMed, Science Direct, Biosis Review, Cochrane Library and Embase databases were systematically searched in January 2012 without time restriction.

Synthesis of the bismuth oxyhalide solid solutions with tunable band gap and photocatalytic activities.

Three series of BiOM(x)R(1-x) (M, R = Cl, Br, I) solid solutions were systematically synthesized through a low-temperature precipitation. These solid solutions were characterized by XRD, FESEM, TEM, EDS, UV-vis spectra, nitrogen sorption/desorption, and PL. The tunable band gaps of the as-prepared solid solutions were realized via only changing the molar ratio of two halide ions.
