Proposing a new precise price forecasting method is still challenging task as electricity signals generally exhibit various complex features. In this paper, approach for called hybrid local general regression neural network, and harmony search algorithm (LGRNN-HSA) proposed. The proposed LGRNN-HSA developed by combining the coordinate delay (CD) method, paradigm, network (GRNN) (HSA). CD employ...

Acyclovir (ACV) and penciclovir (PNV) have been commonly used during the last few decades as potent antiviral agents, especially for the treatment of herpes virus infections. In the present research their binding properties with human serum albumin (HSA) were studied using different advanced spectroscopic and in-silico methods. The interactions between ACV/PNV and HSA at the three investigated ...

About 8% of the adult population is taking angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors to treat cardiovascular disease including hypertension, myocardial infarction and heart failure. These drugs decrease mortality by up to one-fifth in these patients. We and others have reported previously that endogenous inhibitory substances suppress serum ACE activity, in vivo, similarly to the ACE inhib...

BACKGROUND Platelet transfusion is an essential part of the treatment of a variety of conditions such as thrombocytopenia and qualitative platelet disorders. As indicated in previous reports, during in vitro storage, platelets undergo morphological and physiological changes collectively known as the platelet storage lesion. Apoptosis is a programmed process of cell death, which has been conside...

Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder with severe comorbidities. A multiomics approach can facilitate the identification of novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers proper validation potential microRNA (miRNA) interactions. Objective The aim this study was to identify significant differentially expressed common target genes in various tissues their regulating miRNAs...

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have obtained excellent therapeutic effects against non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring activating EGFR mutations. However, some patients have exhibited primary resistance which becomes a major obstacle in effective treatment of NSCLC. The mechanisms of EGFR-TKIs resistance involved are still poorly understood. M...

OBJECTIVE MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases such as primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). This study is the first to investigate miRNA expression patterns in purified T and B lymphocytes from patients with pSS using a high-throughput quantitative PCR (qPCR) approach. METHODS Two independent cohorts of both patients with pSS and controls, one for ...

Functional polymorphisms of miRNAs may affect the function and target expression of miRNAs, which can, in turn, affect the biological activity, etiology, and prognosis of cancer. We hypothesized that four common polymorphisms in pre-miRNAs (hsa-mir-146a rs2910164 G > C, hsa-mir-196a2 rs11614913 C > T, hsa-mir-149 rs2292832 G > T, and hsa-mir-499 rs3746444 A > G) are associated with survival in ...
