LncRNA TUG1 has been demonstrated to be aberrantly expressed in several types of cancer and maybe serve as a prognostic marker for cancer patients. However, most individual studies have been limited by small sample sizes and controversial results. Therefore, this meta analysis was conducted to analyze available data to delineate the potential clinical application of lncRNA TUG1 on cancer progno...

Abstract In this note, we present some blowup results of solutions to the one‐dimensional compressible Navier–Stokes equations with Maxwell's law. First, improve result Hu and Wang [Math. Nachr. 92 (2019), 826–840] initial density away from vacuum by removing two restrictions. Next, give a for decay at far fields. Finally, construct special analytical exhibit or non‐blowup phenomena relaxed sys...

In a 16S rRNA gene-directed multiplex PCR, Prevotella intermedia- and Bacteroides forsythus-specific reverse primers were combined with a single conserved forward primer. A 660-bp fragment and an 840-bp fragment that were specific for both species could be amplified simultaneously. A total of 152 clinical samples, subgingival plaque and swabs of three different oral mucosae, from 38 periodontit...

Malnutrition affects nearly half the world’s population. More than 840 million people do not have enough food to meet their basic daily needs. An estimated 2 billion people, who do have enough food, still suffer deficiencies in micronutrients. Mostly women and children in sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean, these people are at risk of disease, prem...

We analyze the dephasing effect on the backscattering behavior of the helical surface states in 3D topological insulators. We show that the combination of dephasing and impurity scattering can cause backscattering in the helical states. Especially for the charge impurity case, the backscattering cross section becomes extremely large around the Dirac point. This large backscattering behavior can...
