Abstract The MJMA7.3 Kumamoto earthquake occurred on April 16, 2016, in the western part of Kyushu, at a depth of 12 km, on an active strike-slip fault. Here, we report on a... -
Genome-wide DNA methylation at birth in relation to in utero arsenic exposure...
Abstract Background In utero arsenic exposure may alter fetal developmental programming by altering DNA methylation, which may result in a higher risk of disease in later life.... -
Pleural effusion from intrathoracic migration of a ventriculo-peritoneal shun...
Abstract Background Pleural effusion is a rare complication of ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting and its diagnosis is difficult in patients with... -
The application of FTIR microspectroscopy in a non-invasive and non-destructi...
Abstract The potential of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy, to inform the study and conservation of mineralised excavated textiles is discussed, highlighted... -
HN1 contributes to migration, invasion, and tumorigenesis of breast cancer by...
Abstract Background Hematological and neurological expressed 1 (HN1) is upregulated in many tumors, but the role of HN1 in breast cancer progression and its regulatory mechanism... -
Cherenkov luminescence imaging is a fast and relevant preclinical tool to ass...
Abstract Purpose Molecular imaging techniques visualise biomarkers for both drug development and personalised medicine. In this field, Cherenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) seems... -
Genes targeted by the Hedgehog-signaling pathway can be regulated by Estrogen...
Abstract Background Nuclear receptor family member, Estrogen related receptor β, and the Hedgehog signal transduction pathway are both reported to relate to tumorigenesis and... -
Real-time color electroholography using multiple graphics processing units an...
We succeeded in developing a prototype three-dimensional (3-D) color television system by holography using three graphics processing units and three liquid-crystal display... -
Cold spell en route delays spring arrival and decreases apparent survival in ...
Abstract Background Adjusting the timing of annual events to gradual changes in environmental conditions is necessary for population viability. However, adaptations to weather... -
Mechanical analysis of the optical tweezers in time-sharing regime
Time-sharing optical tweezers is a versatile technique to realize multiple traps for manipulating biological cells and macromolecules. It has been based on an intuitive... -
Transcriptome analysis reveals new microRNAs-mediated pathway involved in ant...
Abstract Background 337S is a novel bi-pole-photo-thermo-sensitive genic male sterile line in wheat, and sensitive to both long day length/high temperature and short day... -
Microcirculatory dysfunction and dead-space ventilation in early ARDS: a hypo...
Abstract Background Ventilation/perfusion inequalities impair gas exchange in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Although increased dead-space ventilation (VD/VT) has... -
The whole - genome expression analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells ...
Abstract Background Up to 30 % of adults with severe asthma are hypersensitive to aspirin and no unambiguous theory exists which provides a satisfactory explanation for the... -
Quantitative evaluation of corneal epithelial edema after cataract surgery us...
Abstract Purpose The optical density of the cornea can be evaluated quantitatively by “densitometry” using a rotating Scheimpflug camera. Densitometry allows evaluation of... -
Identification of plasma microRNA expression changes in multiple system atrop...
Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small (18–25 nt), single-stranded, non-coding RNAs that play key roles in post-transcriptional gene expression regulation. The... -
Circular RNA circ-ITCH inhibits bladder cancer progression by sponging miR-17...
Abstract Background Circ-ITCH is a circRNA generated from several exons of itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (ITCH) and tumor suppressor served as a sponge for certain miRNAs... -
The NuA4 acetyltransferase and histone H4 acetylation promote replication rec...
Abstract Background Histone acetylation plays an important role in DNA replication and repair because replicating chromatin is subject to dynamic changes in its structures.... -
Association of four imprinting disorders and ART
Abstract Background Human-assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are a widely accepted treatment for infertile couples. At the same time, many studies have suggested the... -
Chronic wide-field imaging of brain hemodynamics in behaving animals
Chronically monitoring cerebral activities in awake and freely moving status is very important in physiological and pathological studies. We present a novel standalone... -
