The capability of microRNAs (miRNAs) to regulate gene expression across species has opened new avenues for miRNA-based therapeutics. Here, we investigated the potential of PC-5p-1090 (miR-PC-1090), a miRNA fou...
Article
The mechanical properties and fracture mechanism in different micro-regions of the nickel-based welding joint with the ENiCrMo-3 as the electrode and 15CrMoR as the base material are studied based on small pun...
Article
Deer antlers are the only mammalian organs that can fully regenerate after being lost and provide a valuable model for cartilage development. As one of the best-studied epigenetic mechanisms, DNA methylation i...
Article
Reactive astrogliosis and the over-production of proinflammatory factors are key pathogenetic processes in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a promising noninvasive...
Article
It is difficult for solanum crops to grow continuously during winter in severe cold regions. Thus, a soil heating system for facility agriculture based on solar concentration technology was proposed, and a nov...

Protocol
Synthetic triterpenoids, 2-cyano-3,12-dioxooleana-1,9-dien-28-oic acid (CDDO) and its derivatives are known to have potent anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities. The mechanisms of actions of CDDO and it...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Saturated hydrocarbons in heavy crude oil are rarely investigated under ultrasonic treatment since the transformation of asphaltenes is a key part in heavy oil upgrading. To gain a more complete understanding ...

Premature failure of the spring diaphragm of coupling in wind power generator has been frequently reported. The cause of the failure spring diaphragm was analyzed by chemical composition, mechanical property, ...
Article
Pennisetum plants (Pennisetum alopecuroides L.), displaying a dwarfing phenotype along with delayed flowering and mosaic symptom on leaves, were found in Bei**g, China. Flexuous filamentous particles with a size...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Hydrodynamic cavitation is rarely studied for viscosity reduction of heavy oil, although ultrasonic viscosity reduction technique has been widely reported. To evaluate the effect of hydrodynamic cavitation on ...
Article
The study was to evaluate initial antimicrobial regimen and clinical outcomes and to explore risk factors for clinical failure (CF) in elderly patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).
Article
Neuroprotective strategies in the treatment of stroke have been attracting a great deal of attentions. Our previous clinical and basic studies have demonstrated that protopanaxadiol ginsenoside-Rd (Rd), a mono...
Article
A simple and reliable molecular assay to identify sex would be valuable for the management and conservation of critically endangered species such as the antelope Saiga tatarica. To this end, we developed a duplex...
Chapter and Conference Paper
A Monte Carlo method coupled with large eddy simulation is employed to study nanoparticle evolution in a confined im**ing jet. The transient and discrete particle distributions and the time-averaged particle...
Article
Three-dimensional molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is conducted to understanding the dynamics processes of atomic-scale friction, which takes place in the columnar approach-separation model. A cylinder-cylin...
Protocol
Living cells employ complex and highly dynamic signaling networks and transcriptional circuits to maintain homeostasis and respond appropriately to constantly changing environments. These networks enable cells...
Article
Nanocomposite coating could be used for machining tools, which can be used for cutting, drilling, milling, whetting, profiling, honing and superfinishing of various materials with high productivity. In this wo...
