Chronic exposure to high glucose decreases myo-inositol in cultured cerebral microvascular pericytes but not in endothelium
It has been proposed that the development of diabetic complications may involve a depletion of cellular myo-inositol due to an increase in polyol (sorbitol) formation. We therefore initially examined the effect o...

Seizure-like activity leads to the release of BAD from 14-3-3 protein and cell death in hippocampal neurons in vitro
Seizure-induced neuronal death may involve engagement of the BCL-2 family of apoptosis-regulating proteins. In the present study we examined the activation of proapoptotic BAD in cultured hippocampal neurons f...

Open AccessIdentification of two novel CT antigens and their capacity to elicit antibody response in hepatocellular carcinoma patients
FATE and TPTE genes were originally reported to be specifically expressed in the adult testis. We searched for the databases of Unigene and serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) implying that these two gen...

A Numerical Solutions Based on the Quasi-wavelet Analysis
Taking the approximate equations for long waves in shallow water as example, the quasi-wavelet discrete scheme is proposed for obtaining numerical solution of the (1+1) dimension nonlinear partial differential...

Energy Efficiency and Productivity of China: Compared with Other Countries
Energy intensity (EI) is a commonly used index to estimate energy efficiency (EE) for countries, but it neglects the specific structure of energy consumption. We present a new index named weighted energy inten...

NAD+ and axon degeneration revisited: Nmnat1 cannot substitute for WldS to delay Wallerian degeneration
The slow Wallerian degeneration protein (WldS), a fusion protein incorporating full-length nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase 1 (Nmnat1), delays axon degeneration caused by injury, toxins and genetic...

Open AccessStudy of J/ψ decaying into ωpp̄
The decay J/ψ→ωpp̄ is studied using a 5.8×107 J/ψ event sample accumulated with the BES II detector at the Bei**g Electron–Positron Collider. The decay branching fraction is measured to be B(J/ψ→ωpp̄)=(9.8±0.3±1...

Numerical Study on Flow Focusing in Axisymmetric Microchannel
Flow focusing normally refers to two immiscible liquids (phase 1 and 2) are extracted into a small orifice while the liquid interface pinches off due to capillary instability or forces balance among driven pre...

Effect of therapeutic immunization using Ad5/35 and MVA vectors on SIV infection of rhesus monkeys undergoing antiretroviral therapy
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) effectively slows the progression of AIDS. However, drug resistance and/or toxicity can limit the utility of ART in many patients. In this study, we assessed whether a viral vector...

Enhanced susceptibility of Cpt1c knockout mice to glucose intolerance induced by a high-fat diet involves elevated hepatic gluconeogenesis and decreased skeletal muscle glucose uptake
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT1)c is a novel isoform in the CPT1 family and is found specifically in the brain. Cpt1c knockout (KO) mice are more susceptible to high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. However...

Open AccessEffects of the Weak Polar Fields of Solar Cycle 23: Investigation Using OMNI for the STEREO Mission Period
The current solar cycle minimum seems to have unusual properties that appear to be related to weak solar polar magnetic fields. We investigate signatures of this unusual polar field in the ecliptic near-Earth ...

Involvement of NF-κB/miR-448 regulatory feedback loop in chemotherapy-induced epithelial–mesenchymal transition of breast cancer cells
The epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) induced by chemotherapeutic agents promotes malignant tumor progression; however, the mechanism underlying the drug-induced EMT remains unclear. In this study, we re...
