5-Methylcytosine (m5C) plays a pivotal role in various RNA metabolic processes, including RNA localization, stability, and translation. Current high-throughput sequencing technologies for m5C site identification are resource-intensive in terms of cost, labor, and time. As such, there is a pressing need for efficient computational approaches.

Based on the [Formula: see text] turbulence model, a 3D steady analysis of the internal flow field was carried out. The [Formula: see text] orthogonal table was established, and four structural parameters, including the impeller outlet diameter, impeller outlet width, number of blades, and blade outlet angle, were selected as influencing factors.

Although CNST was discovered more than 10 years ago, there are still not enough studies on its function. During our search for possible new acute myeloid leukemia (AML) markers, we found that CNST was overexpressed in almost all patients with AML.

Many modifications in mRNA, including m A and m C, have been associated with critical cellular functions under physiological and/or pathological conditions. To understand the biological functions of these modifications, it is vital to identify the regulators that modulate the modification rate.

The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacies of various antihypertensive therapies in our hypertension (HTN) clinic (monotherapy vs. combination therapy, fixed-dose combination (FDC) versus free equivalent combination (FEC), and diuretics versus non-diuretics.

Previous findings have shown renalase not only plays an important role in hypertension but also closely correlates with kidney function. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether urinary renalase could be used as a predictive index of early-stage renal damage in patients with primary hypertension.

Epidemiological studies have shown the benefits of lowering blood pressure (BP), but BP control is a major challenge. Furthermore, there are significant sex differences in antihypertensive drug use and BP control.
