Dysregulation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) plays a fundamental role in the development and progression of osteoarthritis (OA), but the potential functions of lncRNAs in OA were not fully clarified. In the present work, we want to clarify the underlying functions and mechanisms of MIR22HG in OA. qRT-PCR was employed to detect the mRNA expression of MIR22HG, miR-9-3p, and ADAMTS5, while the protein expressions were measured using Western blot. The cell proliferation was examined through...

Randomized clinical trials are the gold standard to evaluate the efficacy of an experimental treatment. We propose a flexible Bayesian optimal phase II (BOP2) design for two-arm randomized trials. The proposed two-arm BOP2 design is flexible and can handle single, multiple primary and coprimary endpoints for superiority and noninferiority trials under a unified framework. It also allows users to specify the number and timing of interim analyses to meet clinical needs. While enjoying the flexibility...

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is an acute and highly contagious disease in small ruminants that causes significant economic losses in developing countries. An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that both autophagy and apoptosis are important cellular mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis, and they participate in the host response to pathogens. However, the crosstalk between apoptosis and autophagy in host cells during PPRV infection has not been clarified. In this study, autophagy was induced upon...

ABSTRACT: Leaf area of dried Flue-cured tobacco is a reflection of climate and stage of growth of fresh tobacco in field; it also serves as the foundation for calculating a number of significant physical properties of tobacco. So the purpose of this paper was to establish a model to estimate the leaf area of dried Flue-cured tobacco in China from linear dimensions. Three Hundred eight tobacco leaves from different growing area and stalk position were...

Background: The Rhynchosporium species complex consists of hemibiotrophic fungal pathogens specialized to different sweet grass species including the cereal crops barley and rye. A sexual stage has not been described, but several lines of evidence suggest the occurrence of sexual reproduction. Therefore, a comparative genomics approach was carried out to disclose the evolutionary relationship of the species and to identify genes demonstrating the potential for a sexual cycle. Furthermore, due to the evolutionary very young...

A meta-analysis and systematic review was conducted on kidney-related outcomes of three recent pandemics: SARS, MERS, and COVID-19, which were associated with potentially fatal acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). A search of all published studies until 16 June 2020 was performed. The incidence/prevalence and mortality risk of acute and chronic renal events were evaluated, virus prevalence, and mortality in preexisting hemodialysis patients was investigated. A total of 58 eligible studies involving 13452 hospitalized patients with...
