Background. Mortality from acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation in cardiac hospitals ranges 4.5 to 7 %, and these data has not decreased recent years. The most common cause of death patients is cardiogenic shock, the likelihood which directly depends on infarct size. It quite clear that there an urgent need create drugs limit size prevent occurrence shock. aim. To evaluate role...

Micropile groups (MPGs), combined with the advantages of anti-slip pile and anchor cable, offer an efficient support system that can be used as countermeasures for stabilizing talus slopes. However, performance MPGs in slopes is rarely numerically investigated from continuous-discontinuous viewpoints. To fulfil this knowledge gap, a numerical method coupled discrete element (DEM) finite (FEM) p...

Patient-prosthetic aortic valve mismatch (PPM) is a clinical diagnosis in which an aortic prosthetic valve is normal structurally, but hemodynamically functions as aortic stenosis, with higher prosthetic valve gradients than would be expected for that particular valve.1,2 The prosthetic valve functions as designed but hemodynamics are less than ideal compared with a native valve. The predominan...

We suggest new pseudopolynomial and subexponential algorithms for Mean Payoff Games (MPGs). The algorithms are based on representing the MPG decision problem in the forms of non-standard and standard Linear Complementarity Problems (LCPs): find w, z ≥ 0 satisfying w = Mz + q and w · z = 0, (1.1) and monotonic iterative propagation of slack updates.

Abstract Background The role of epigenetic events in gliomagenesis is undoubtful. However, the specific pathological not so clear. It was shown that loss total DNA methylation correlates with higher tumor malignancy and oxidative damage. But promoter many genes reported to be significant for gliomas’ predictive treatment outcome. In carcinogenesis general global hypomethylation focal hypermethy...

Based on ten-year tropical cyclones (TCs) observations from 2009 to 2018, the black body temperature (TBB, also called cloud-top brightness temperature) data obtained infrared channel 1 (with wavelength of 10.30–11.30 µm) FY-2 satellite image, and wind observation at automatic weather stations (AWSs) in Guangdong province, this study explores relationship between TBBs winds induced by TCs AWSs....

1. The presence and characteristics of P2X receptors on neurons of the rat major pelvic ganglia (MPG) have been studied using whole cell voltage-clamp, in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. 2. Rapid application of ATP (100 microM) to isolated rat MPG neurons induced moderately large inward currents (0.33-5.3 nA) in 39% of cells (108/277). The response to ATP occurred very rapidly, wit...
