Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused solely by loss of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), which binds mRNAs to mediate transcript stability and trafficking, and acts as a negative regulator of translation (Laggerbauer et al., 2001; Li et al., 2001; Zhang et al., 2001; Lu et al., 2004; Muddashetty et al., 2007; Tessier and Broadie, 2008). Both humans with FXS and animal models of the dis...

1400 INTRODUCTION Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused solely by loss of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), which binds mRNAs to mediate transcript stability and trafficking, and acts as a negative regulator of translation (Laggerbauer et al., 2001; Li et al., 2001; Zhang et al., 2001; Lu et al., 2004; Muddashetty et al., 2007; Tessier and Broadie, 2008). Both humans with FXS and animal...

The current research status of BiVO4-constituted photo(electro)catalytic systems for solar overall water splitting (OWS) is reviewed in this paper. Herein, effective charge carrier utilization illustrated as the mainline, which separation, transfer and surface catalytic reaction are detailly summarized towards construction efficient OWS systems. More information can be found Review article by S...

A multisignature scheme for specified group of verifiers needs a group of signers cooperation to sign a message to a specified group of verifiers that must cooperate to check the signature s validity later. Recently, Zhang et al. proposed a new multisignature scheme for specified group of verifiers. However, we find that Zhang et al. s scheme cannot prevent a dishonest clerk of signing group fr...

Binarization of Synchronous Context Free Grammars (SCFG) is essential for achieving polynomial time complexity of decoding for SCFG parsing based machine translation systems. In this paper, we first investigate the excess edge competition issue caused by a leftheavy binary SCFG derived with the method of Zhang et al. (2006). Then we propose a new binarization method to mitigate the problem by e...

There are several types of bone disease that are commonly seen in kidney transplant recipients. These include pre-existing uremic osteodystrophy, osteopenia, osteoporosis, bone fracture, osteonecrosis and bone pain syndrome (Brandenburg et al., 2004; Cohen et al., 2004; Julian et al., 1991; Zisman and Sprague, 2006). Kidney transplant recipients are now living longer than ever, and thus, proper...

Cancer is the third most common cause of death following cardiovascular disease and accident (Mohebbi et al., 2008; Moradpour and Fatemi, 2013) and gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are the most frequent cancers among males and second to females’ breast cancer in Iran (Mohebbi et al., 2011). The epidemiological characteristic of upper GI cancer has markedly changed over recent decades so that oesop...

Understanding the developmental steps shaping the formation of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) connecting motoneurons to skeletal muscle fibers, is critical. Wnt morphogens are key players in the formation of this specialized peripheral synapse. Yet, the individual and collaborative functions of Wnts as well as their downstream pathways remain poorly understood at the NMJ. Here, we demonstrate...

Progressive loss of renal allograft function after the first year of kidney transplant is often referred to as chronic rejection, transplant nephropathy, transplant glomerulopathy or chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) and the use of these terms is often interchangeable. Clinically, it is usually diagnosed by a slowly rising serum creatinine level, increasing proteinuria and worsening hypertens...

The article by Zhang et al. retreads a lot of information already covered in Zhang et al. (AMT, 2016), with some additional analysis. Overall, I find there are potentially some interesting components of this paper that go beyond the authors previous work, but at the same time there are a number of aspects that are presented as novel insights that are either not sufficiently justified or explain...
