Melanoma is the most malignant skin cancer, which account for most of skin-cancer-related deaths. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is a class of noncoding RNAs with crucial roles in many cancers. However, the roles of lncRNAs in melanoma have not been well studied. In the present study, using public available data and clinical tissues samples, we found that lncRNA ILF3-AS1 is up-regulated in melanom...

K-means algorithm could be used in intrusion detection, and selection of initial cluster centers was one of the most important factor that influenced the clustering performance, traditional method had a certain degree of randomness in dealing with this problem, therefore, information entropy was introduced into the process of cluster centers selection, and a fusion algorithm combining with info...

BACKGROUND Abnormal cardiac repolarization, indicated by a prolongation of the QT interval, increases the risk for torsades de pointes, a potentially life-threatening arrhythmia. Many perioperatively administered drugs and conditions prolong the QT interval. Despite several reports of perioperative torsades de pointes, systematic evidence regarding perioperative QT interval prolongation is limi...

Growing evidence demonstrates the important role of microRNAs (miRs) in regulating adipogenesis, obesity and insulin resistance. The miR-200b/a/429 cluster has been functionally characterized in mammalian reproduction; however, the potential role of the miR-200 family in adipocytes is poorly understood. The aim of our study was to investigate the physiological function of miR-200b/a/429 in the ...

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) functions as a neuromodulator and exerts anti-inflammatory activities. Recent data indicate that irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is linked to inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. In this study we have investigated the role of a novel H2Sreleasing derivative of mesalamine (ATB-429) in modulating nociception to colorectal distension (CRD), a model that mimics some fea...

Introduction: Smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) requires rapid diagnosis and treatment to prevent ongoing transmission. Collection of two sputum specimens is considered the minimum requirement for PTB but current guidelines in Torres Strait Islands, Australia, recommend three specimens; this frequently delays initiation. Methods: A retrospective study was performed ascertain diagnosti...

Measures of similarities and distances among nucleotide or amino acid sequences have been used to find related regions in long sequences, to test for homology, to assess phylogenetic and functional relationships, and to estimate divergence time between pairs of evolutionarily related sequences. This last use especially invokes a model, possibly implicit and including a random component, of sequ...
