The Lynx arc, with a redshift of 3.357, was discovered during spectroscopic follow-up of the z 1⁄4 0:570 cluster RX J0848+4456 from the ROSAT Deep Cluster Survey. The arc is characterized by a very red R K color and strong, narrow emission lines. Analysis of HST WFPC2 imaging and Keck optical and infrared spectroscopy shows that the arc is an H ii galaxy magnified by a factor of 10 by a complex...

OBJECTIVE To identify specific miRNAs involved in sepsis-induced AKI and to explore their targeting pathways. METHODS The expression profiles of miRNAs in serum from patients with sepsis-induced AKI (n = 6), sepsis-non AKI (n = 6), and healthy volunteers (n = 3) were investigated by microarray assay and validated by quantitative PCR (qPCR). The targets of the differentially expressed miRNAs w...
