  • PDIA3 rs2788, a risk factor for metabolic syndrome, interacted negatively with antihypertensive medications

    PDIA3 rs2788, a risk factor for metabolic syndrome, interacted negatively with antihypertensive medications

    Our research showed that the pleiotropic effects of PDIA3 on lipid profiles such as LDL-C, TC, and BP levels, in a Chinese population, and its SNP was highly linked with the risk of MetS. The association between sex and hypertensive treatment was…

  • A novel method for assessing postmortem interval using radon radioisotopic decay – an internal radon ‘time of death clock’

    A novel method for assessing postmortem interval using radon radioisotopic decay – an internal radon ‘time of death clock’

    Conceptual framework

    We speculate that there is an opportunity to estimate PMI using the relative abundance of radioactive decay products generated from naturally occurring \(^{222}\textrm{Rn}\) and that is absorbed by living systems. More…

  • Glycemic variability and entero-pancreatic hormones signatures after different bariatric surgery procedures: a cross-sectional study

    Glycemic variability and entero-pancreatic hormones signatures after different bariatric surgery procedures: a cross-sectional study

    We describe a cross-sectional study of glycemic variability after different BS, by mutual comparisons, and against a matched non-operated group. We show that increased glycemic variability after BS is linked with an increased rate and magnitude…

    MCL-1 as a molecular switch between myofibroblastic and pro-angiogenic features of breast cancer-associated fibroblasts

    Cell culture and reagents

    Fresh human mammary samples were obtained from treatment-naive patients with invasive carcinoma after surgical resection at the Institut de Cancérologie de l’Ouest, Nantes/Angers, France. As required by the French…

  • Vehicular ad hoc networks verification scheme based on bilinear pairings and networks reverse fuzzy extraction

    Vehicular ad hoc networks verification scheme based on bilinear pairings and networks reverse fuzzy extraction

    This section’s objective is to carry out our formal and semantic security analyses of our scheme. The detailed descriptions of the procedures involved are discussed below.

    Formal security

    The Real-Or-Random (ROR) model is frequently deployed to…

    Manufacturing of high-quality green CSA-supported OPC cement with optimum physical and mechanical properties

    Characterizing the used Raw materials

    The XRD analysis of the starting raw materials (Fig. 1) indicates the existence of pure crystalline hydrous calcium sulfate (gypsum, CaSO4.2H2O) and hemihydrates calcium sulfate phases (Bassanite,…

  • Tensor network analysis of the maple-leaf antiferromagnet spangolite

    Tensor network analysis of the maple-leaf antiferromagnet spangolite

    Heisenberg Hamiltonian

    We begin our study of spangolite by determining the parameters of the Heisenberg Hamiltonian

    $$H={\sum}_{i < j}{J}_{ij}{{{\bf{S}}}}_{i}\cdot {{{\bf{S}}}}_{j}$$

    (1)

    using the density…
