N-Methylandenosine-related lncRNAs as potential biomarkers for predicting prognosis and the immunotherapy response in pancreatic cancer.

Emerging evidence has shown that the N-methyladenosine (mA) modification of RNA plays key roles in tumorigenesis and the progression of various cancers. However, the potential roles of the mA modification of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in pancreatic cancer (PaCa) are still unknown. To analyze the prognostic value of mA-related lncRNAs in PaCa, an m6A-related lncRNA signature was constructed as a risk model via Pearson's correlation and univariate Cox regression analyses in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.

promotes transcriptional activation and inhibits ferroptosis of CRC cells through p300/H3K27ac.

This study investigated the role of lncRNA in ferroptosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction or western blot experiments were performed to examine relevant mRNAs and proteins expression. The kit assays evaluated malondialdehyde, iron, Fe and glutathione levels.

Lactate Contributes to Remote Ischemic Preconditioning-Mediated Protection Against Myocardial Ischemia Reperfusion Injury by Facilitating Autophagy via the AMP-Activated Protein Kinase-Mammalian Target of Rapamycin-Transcription Factor EB-Connexin 43 Axis.

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) exerts a protective role on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury by the release of various humoral factors. Lactate is a common metabolite in ischemic tissues. Nevertheless, little is known about the role lactate plays in myocardial I/R injury and its underlying mechanism.

Identification of two novel heterozygous variants of SMC3 with Cornelia de Lange syndrome.

Background: Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a multisystem genetic disorder, and cases caused by variants in the structural maintenance of chromosomes protein 3 (SMC3) gene are uncommon. Here, we report two cases of CdLS associated with novel pathogenic variants in SMC3 from two Chinese families.

Methods: Clinical presentations of two patients with CdLS were evaluated, and specimens from the patients and other family members were collected for Trio-based whole-exome sequencing.

Research of wet string grid dust removal vehicle and creation of dust control area on tunnel working face.

The spread of blast dust throughout the tunnel becomes a common problem in drill and blast tunneling,the key to breaking through the problem is the creation of a dust control area on the working face.In view of this key problem, a wet string grid dust removal crawler vehicle was developed, the power of the vehicle came from the diesel generator, and further, the air cooler of the diesel generator was used to generate airflow, and the suction process formed by the on-board axial flow fan was coupled to create a dust control area of the working face after blasting.The results show that when the frequency of the axial flow fan is adjusted to 30 Hz, the airflow speed of the wet chord grid section reaches 3.

Comparative study of fault tree analysis and 24Model: taking the cause analysis of the Quanzhou Xinjia Hotel collapse accident as an example.

A comparative study was conducted to compare the accident cause analysis methods of fault tree analysis (FTA) and 24Model. A major accident - the Xinjia Hotel collapse accident - was selected as the research object, the causes of the accident were reanalysed and accident prevention countermeasures were designed based on 24Model and FTA, respectively, and the systematic characteristics of 24Model were summarized. The research shows that both 24Model and FTA can carry out risk assessment, accident cause analysis and preventive countermeasure design based on their own rules.

ImTooth: Neural Implicit Tooth for Dental Augmented Reality.

The combination of augmented reality (AR) and medicine is an important trend in current research. The powerful display and interaction capabilities of the AR system can assist doctors to perform more complex operations. Since the tooth itself is an exposed rigid body structure, dental AR is a relatively hot research direction with application potential.

Multiprocessing Quantum Computing through Hyperfine Couplings in Endohedral Fullerene Derivatives.

Magnetic molecules have shown great potential in quantum information processing due to the chemical tunablity of their quantum behaviors. Chemical derivatives of endohedral nitrogen fullerenes with long coherence time and rich energy levels were synthesized and studied to demonstrate the ability of multiprocessing in quantum information using electron magnetic resonance. After initialization of the 12-levelled spin system, subgroups of spin energy levels coursed by the hyperfine couplings can be selectively manipulated.

Clinical study of cerebral palsy in 408 children with periventricular leukomalacia.

This study aimed to investigate the high risk factors, cerebral palsy (CP) subtypes and comorbidities of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL). Based on treatment conditions at a specialist hospital, a cross-sectional clinical study and retrospective analysis of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging examinations was conducted to evaluate the risk factors, subtypes and comorbidities of CP in children with PVL. Among the 408 children with PVL, 8.

Dopamine depresses immunity in the tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon.

The total haemocyte count (THC), differential haemocyte count (DHC), phenoloxidase activity, respiratory bursts (release of superoxide anion), superoxide dismutase activity, phagocytic activity and clearance efficiency to the pathogen Photobacterium damsela were measured when tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon (13.5+/-1.5 g) were individually injected with saline or dopamine at 10(-8), 10(-7), or 10(-6)mol shrimp(-1).
