Abstract Background The current study aimed to construct competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulation network and develop two precision medicine predictive tools for colorectal cancer (CRC).Methods Differentially expressed (DE) analyses were performed between CRC tissues and normal tissues.A ceRNA regulation network was constructed based on DElncRNA
Short-Term Exercise Training Improves Insulin Sensitivity but Does Not Inhibit Inflammatory Pathways in Immune Cells from Insulin-Resistant Subjects
Background.Exercise has an anti-inflammatory effect against, and immune cells play critical roles in the development, of insulin resistance and atherosclerotic vascular disease (AVD).Thus, the goal of this study was to determine whether exercise improves insulin sensitivity in insulin-resistant subjects by downregulating proinflammatory Vest signal
Decoding hierarchical control of sequential behavior in oscillatory EEG activity
Despite strong theoretical reasons for assuming that abstract representations organize complex action sequences in terms of subplans (chunks) and sequential positions, we lack methods to directly track such content-independent, hierarchical representations in humans.We applied time-resolved, multivariate decoding analysis to the pattern of rhythmic
No short-cut in assessing trial quality: a case study
Abstract Background Assessing the quality of included trials is a central part of a systematic review.Many check-list type of instruments for doing this exist.Using a trial of antibiotic treatment for acute otitis media, Burke et al., BMJ, 1991, as the case study, this paper illustrates some limitations of the check-list approach to trial Wall Cloc
Design and Experiment of Dry-Ice Cleaning Mechanical Arm for Insulators in Substation
Polluted flashover of insulators has always been a crucial hidden peril to the reliability of substation for supplying electricity.At present, the insulator of the Sunscreen substation is mainly cleaned manually in the case of power-cut, which greatly affects the reliability of power supply and operation safety.In this paper, an insulator dry-ice m
