Public transportation (PT) systems are the artery systems for urban residents to access resources essential for fulfilling their daily needs. Enhancing the operational efficiency of PT systems is thus of critical importance in urban mobility improvement and sustainable city development. However, cur...

Central nervous system diseases are highly complex in terms of etiology and pathogenesis, making their treatment and interventions for them a major focus and challenge in neuroscience research. Anthocyanins, natural water-soluble pigments widely present in plants, belong to the class of flavonoid co...

The downwelling diffuse attenuation coefficient (Kd) is a key optical parameter for ocean color science, yet accurately estimating Kd across diverse water types remains a challenge due to variations in water constituents. To address this, the study developed a neural network-based method (Kd_NN) to...

Numerous studies suggested that long non-coding RNA UCA1 was highly expressed and played critical roles in the development and progression of various cancerous tissues and cells. However, little is known about the association between UCA1 and tumor lymph node metastasis. In our study, a systematic r...

Congenital candidiasis caused by non-albicans Candida (NAC) species represents a life-threatening condition with significant underreporting in clinical literature. It mainly manifests as systemic invasive candidiasis. Premature infants are affected more easily due to the immaturity of their immune s...

This study aimed to determine whether serum karyopherin alpha 2 levels can be used as a diagnostic biomarker for epithelial ovarian carcinoma. Karyopherin alpha 2 protein was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in serum samples from 162 epithelial ovarian carcinoma patients and 48 healthy...

Construction of a food-grade expression vector for application to lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is of importance for dairy fermentation system. An α-galactosidase (aga) gene encoding an enzyme degrading melibiose was amplified by PCR from the plasmid pRAF800 of Lactococcus lactis NZ9000. The aga gene w...

Abstract Dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) in the plasma of patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) might serve as biomarkers for LSCC diagnosis. The expression of miRNAs was performed using quantitative reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR) on the basis of Exiqon panels...
