objective(s): to explore the correlation between expression patterns and functions of mir-383 and ldha in hepatocellular cancer (hcc). materials and methods: we detected the expression of mir-383 and ldha in 30 hcc tissues and their matched adjacent normal tissues using qrt-pcr. then we performed mtt assay, foci formation assay, transwell migration assay, glucose uptake assay and lactate produc...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of protein-coding genes by partially binding to specific target sites of mRNAs. miRNAs perform important functions in complicated cellular biological processes and their abnormal expression is involved in various disorders, including cancer. Among the miRNAs, differential expression of miR-139-5p serves a significant role...

Background and Aims : Cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of mortality worldwide, is primarily caused by atherosclerosis, which characterized lipid inflammatory cell accumulation in blood vessels carotid intima thickening, among others. Although disease management has improved significantly, new therapeutic strategies focused on accelerating atherosclerosis regression must be developed. A...

We describe a large-scale and complete experiment aiming at validating the hypothesis that the popularity of music titles can be learnt using global acoustic or human features. We use a 32.000 title database with 632 manually-entered attributes per titles including 3 related to the popularity of the title. We design an experiment with two different audio feature sets, as well as the set of all ...
