DNA sequence design is the basic and important step for DNA computing. Good codeword could avoid some error may possibly occurred in practical computing. Therefore, much work has focused on designing the DNA sequences to make the molecular computation more reliable. In this paper, a new hierarchy evolutionary searching algorithm is proposed to obtain good DNA encoding sequences, this approach is b...
Most ofin vivotissue cells reside in 3D extracellular matrix (ECM) with fluid flow. To better study cell physiology and pathophysiology, there has been an increasing need in the development of methods for culturing cells inin vivolike microenvironments with a number of strategies currently being investigated including hydrogels, spheroids, tissue scaffolds and very promising microfluidic systems. ...
Tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) are sentinel cells for maintaining tissue homeostasis and organ function. In this study, we discovered that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration dramatically reduced TRM populations and suppressed their self-renewal capacities in multiple organs. Using loss- and gain-of-function approaches, we define Sectm1a as a novel regulator of TRM self-renewal. Specifical...
Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) have been an invaluable research tool to study motor neuron development and disorders. However, transcriptional regulation of multiple temporal stages from ESCs to spinal motor neurons (MNs) has not yet been fully elucidated. Thus, the goals of this study were to profile the time-course expression patterns of lncRNAs during MN differentiation of ESCs and to clarif...
To explore the relationship between heart rate variability (HRV), the brain distribution of enlarged perivascular space (EPVS), and cognitive impairment in patients with EPVS. The clinical and imaging data of 199 patients with EPVS were retrospectively analyzed. EPVS load in the basal ganglia (BG) and centrum semiovale (CS) regions were assessed using the Potter's method. Cognitive function was ev...
Based on accumulating evidences showing that hypothyroid status is associated with poor prognosis among acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients, the study is designed to evaluate whether replacement treatment with levothyroxine could have beneficial effects on patients with AMI and hypothyroidism. This is a multicenter prospective computerized-randomized trial stratified by ejection fraction wi...
This phase III trial compares standard chemotherapy to therapy with liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine (CPX-351) and/or gilteritinib for patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia with or without FLT3 mutations. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as daunorubicin, cytarabine, and gemtuzumab ozogamicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing t...
This study is a multicenter, single-arm, open-label Phase II clinical trial evaluating TK216 in combination with vincristine in the treatment of relapsed or refractory Ewing sarcoma (ES) including Ewing's sarcoma family tumors (ESFTs).
This phase II trial studies the effect of nivolumab in combination with blinatumomab compared to blinatumomab alone in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) that has come back (relapsed). Down syndrome patients with relapsed B-ALL are included in this study. Blinatumomab is an antibody, which is a protein that identifies and targets specific molecules in the body. Blin...
