MassARRAY multigene screening combined with LDL-C and sdLDL-C detection for more favorable outcomes in type 2 diabetes mellitus therapy.

Background: To determine the clinical value of multigene polymorphisms, LDL-C and sdLDL-C on T2DM therapy.

Methods: In total, 352 T2DM patients before and after treatment and 48 healthy individuals were enrolled in this study. LDL-C and sdLDL-C were detected in 352 T2DM patients and 48 healthy individuals by Quantimetrix Lipoprint System.

Circular RNA expression profiles in cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury in mice.

This study was carried out to identify the expression profile and role of circRNAs in cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). In this study, an AKI model was established in cisplatin-treated mice, and the expression of circRNAs was profiled by next-generation sequencing. The differential expression levels of selected circRNAs were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.

A Dynamic Part-Attention Model for Person Re-Identification.

Person re-identification (ReID) is gaining more attention due to its important applications in pedestrian tracking and security prevention. Recently developed part-based methods have proven beneficial for stronger and explicit feature descriptions, but how to find real significant parts and reduce miscorrelation between images to improve accuracy of ReID still leaves much room to improve. In this paper, we propose a dynamic part-attention (DPA) method based on masks, which aims to improve the use of variable attention parts.

Activation of Sirtuin 3 by Silybin Attenuates Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Cisplatin-induced Acute Kidney Injury.

Silybin is a secondary metabolite isolated from the seeds of blessed milk thistle () that has anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, antifibrotic, and antitumor properties. Here, we showed that silybin protected against cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) by improving mitochondrial function through the regulation of sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) expression. Male SV129 and SIRT3 knockout (KO) mice were administered a single intraperitoneal (i.

Nitrogen fixation island and rhizosphere competence traits in the genome of root-associated Pseudomonas stutzeri A1501.

The capacity to fix nitrogen is widely distributed in phyla of Bacteria and Archaea but has long been considered to be absent from the Pseudomonas genus. We report here the complete genome sequencing of nitrogen-fixing root-associated Pseudomonas stutzeri A1501. The genome consists of a single circular chromosome with 4,567,418 bp.
