چکیده

Heart and vascular defects occur in a large number of hereditary and sporadic human diseases as a result of a complex interplay of genetic factors. Since genome sequencing of many organisms disclosed similarities among genomes, animal models are crucial for the discovery of genes involved in those pathological processes. Therefore we propose a VRG database, in which human data have been manually managed and integrated with mouse information in order to create a catalogue of genes involved in vascular diseases. c © 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

Introducing Critical Pain-related Genes: A System Biology Approach

Introduction: Pain is valuable in diagnosis and also warning of the patients. Many molecular reagents are introduced which are related to pain. In this research, the pain-related genes are screened to identify the critical ones.  Methods: First, the pain-related genes were pulling out from the STRING database, and Cytoscape software was used to make the interactome unit. Then the central genes...

Ginseng Extracts Restore High-Glucose Induced Vascular Dysfunctions by Altering Triglyceride Metabolism and Downregulation of Atherosclerosis-Related Genes

The king of herbs, Panax ginseng, has been used widely as a therapeutic agent vis-à-vis its active pharmacological and physiological effects. Based on Chinese pharmacopeia Ben Cao Gang Mu and various pieces of literature, Panax ginseng was believed to exert active vascular protective effects through its antiobesity and anti-inflammation properties. We investigated the vascular protective effect...

Differential responses of respiratory nuclei to anoxia in rhythmic brain stem slices of mice.

The response of the neonatal respiratory system to hypoxia is characterized by an initial increase in ventilation, which is followed within a few minutes by a depression of ventilation below baseline levels. We used the transverse medullary slice of newborn mice as a model system for central respiratory control to investigate the effects of short-lasting periods of anoxia. Extracellular populat...

Data-Driven Real-Time Power Dispatch for Maximizing Variable Renewable Generation

 Abstract—Traditional power dispatch methods have difficulties in accommodating large-scale variable renewable generation (VRG) and have resulted in unnecessary VRG spillage in the practical industry. The recent dispatchable-interval-based methods have the potential to reduce VRG curtailment, but the dispatchable intervals are not allocated effectively due to the lack of exploiting historical ...

The Difference of Expression of 18 Genes in Axillary Invasion and Vascular Invasion Compared to Control Samples in Breast Cancer

Background & Objective: Recent studies from gene profiling have revealed some genes that are overexpressed in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process and are responsible for its initiation and activation resulting in tumor progression and metastasis. The present study aimed to assess the role of genes involved in the EMT process and the association of these genes wi...
