MicroRNA-218 is a prognostic indicator in colorectal cancer and enhances 5-fluorouracil-induced apoptosis by targeting BIRC5 Pei-Long Li† Xin Zhang† Li-Li Wang, Lu-Tao Du, Yong-Mei Yang, Juan Li and Chuan-Xin Wang*

One major reason for the failure of advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment is the occurrence of chemoresistance to fluoropyrimidine (FU)-based chemotherapy. Various reports showed that ectopic expression and function of microRNAs (miRNAs) played key roles to mediate apoptosis at the post-transcriptional level. To further explore the possible mechanisms, we evaluated the prognostic effect of...

Solid-state nanofluidic devices have proven to be ideal systems to elucidate the physics of nanoscale ion transport. When the device confinement approaches the Debye length of ions in the fluid, new phenomena occur such as surface-charge-dominated transport and ion-selectivity. Although these effects have been understood for simple monovalent systems, application-critical divalent systems have ...

ADAPTIVE FUZZY SYSTEMS AND CONTROL . : DESIGN AND STABIL . ITY ANAL . YSIS By LI XIN WANG , PTR PRENTICE HALL

Fuzzy logic systems technology, particularly fuzzy control and fuzzy modeling techniques, is one of the most successful practical applications of fuzzy set and logic theory. In the past few years, the trend has been to combine fuzzy logic systems technology with artificial neural network technology to produce so called neural-fuzzy or fuzzy-neural systems. The objective is to take the advantage...

Xin Scaffolding Proteins and Arrhythmias.

Intercalated disc (ICD), a unique specialized structure in cardiac muscle, transmits mechanical force and electrical impulses among cardiomyocytes. Recent studies also suggest that ICD, via scaffolding/anchoring proteins, can spatially organize and maintain key ion channel assemblies required for controlling the cardiac action potential. Defects in these processes can lead to arrhythmias and ca...
