Diverse functions of microRNAs have been investigated in tumorigenesis in osteosarcoma (OS), involving the regulation of proliferation, invasion, migration, apoptosis and drug resistance. MiR-367 was found to be an oncogene and increased in OS. However, the function of miR-367 in drug resistance in OS cells is still unknown. In this study, we found that miR-367 was up-regulated in OS tissues an...

Employing the notions of the strong $L$-topology introduced by Zhangand the $L$-frame introduced by Yao  and the concept of $L$-enrichedtopological system defined in the present paper, we constructadjunctions among the categories {bf St$L$-Top} of strong$L$-topological spaces, {bf S$L$-Loc} of strict $L$-locales and{bf $L$-EnTopSys} of $L$-enriched topological systems. All of theseconcepts are ...

in this paper, let $l$ be a completeresiduated lattice, and let {bf set} denote the category of setsand mappings, $lf$-{bf pos} denote the category of $lf$-posets and$lf$-monotone mappings, and $lf$-{bf cslat}$(sqcup)$, $lf$-{bfcslat}$(sqcap)$ denote the category of $lf$-completelattices and $lf$-join-preserving mappings and the category of$lf$-complete lattices and $lf$-meet-preserving mapping...

A typical video projector has three fixed primaries, typically red, green and blue, and operates by showing a sub-frame consisting of a single color primary at a time. In order to improve the color gamut the projector can cover, one could add more color primaries (e.g. yellow, magenta), however, this would require the projector to be able to operate at higher speeds to show more primaries. Here...

For vocal animals, recognizing species-specific vocalizations is important for survival and social interactions. In humans, a voice region has been identified that is sensitive to human voices and vocalizations. As this region also strongly responds to speech, it is unclear whether it is tightly associated with linguistic processing and is thus unique to humans. Using functional magnetic resona...

We quantified, by liquid chromatography tandemmass spectrometry, transporter protein expression of BSEP, MATE1, MRP3, MRP4, NTCP, and OCT1 in our human liver bank (n = 55) and determined the relationship between protein expression and sex, age and genotype. These data complement our previous work in the same liver bank where we quantified the protein expression of OATPs, BCRP, MDR1, and MRP2. I...

For many years, retrobulbar and peribulbar anesthesia were the standard for cataract surgery; however, many serious adverse effects have been reported (1, 2). With the introduction of modern phacoemulsification cataract surgery, topical anesthesia without retrobulbar or periocular injections has become a well-established, minimally invasive technique (3). The addition of intracameral lidocaine ...
