18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (GRA) exerts anti-tumor effects on various types of cancer. In the present study, we found that GRA attenuated the severity of gastritis and suppressed gastric tumorigenesis in transgenic mice. We also discovered that miR-149-3p was downregulated in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines as compared to normal gastric tissues and epithelial cells, but was upregulated by GR...

The study aims to identify and evaluate the key criteria for food supplier selection in Indonesian hospitality industry. A survey was sent experts Indonesia based on their opinions were evaluated using Grey Relational Analysis (GRA). found that price is most important criteria, followed by quality, return-ability of problematic food. also reports variation distinguishing coefficient GRA influen...

Decision makers sometimes tend to express their preferences in intuitionistic fuzzy form. Based on evidence theory and grey relational analysis (GRA) technique, this paper aims at investigating multiple attribute decision making problems, in which both attribute values and weight values take the form of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs). To this end, each intuitionistic fuzzy evaluation ratin...

18β-Glycyrrhetinic acid (GRA), a natural immunomodulator, greatly reduced the parasite load in experimental visceral leishmaniasis through nitric oxide (NO) upregulation, proinflammatory cytokine expression, and NF-κB activation. For the GRA-mediated effect, the primary kinase responsible was found to be p38, and analysis of phosphorylation kinetics as well as studies with dominant-negative (DN...

Introduction: Several studies have contributed to our understanding of the record of alteration of CR chondrites [e.g., 1-5]. However, recent observations of CR2 GRA 06100 suggest that hydration of the CR parent body was a more diverse process than previously anticipated [6]. [6] observed that Fe,Ni metal in this meteorite was invariably and extensively altered to form complex assemblages conta...

The general realization algorithm GRA is developed to identify modal parameters of linear multi-degree-of-freedom dynamic systems subjected to measured known arbitrary dynamic loading from known initial conditions. The GRA extends the well known eigensystem realization algorithm ERA based on Hankel matrix decomposition by allowing an arbitrary input signal in the realization algorithm. This gen...

Evaluating the assessing results' rationality for farmland quality (FQ) is usually qualitative and based on farmers and experts' perceptions of soil quality and crop yield. Its quantitative checking still remains difficult and is likely ignored. In this paper, FQ in Xiuwu County, the Northwest Henan Province, China was evaluated by the gray relational analysis (GRA) method and the traditional a...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the multiple attribute decision making problems with intuitionistic fuzzy information, in which the information about attribute weights is incompletely known, and the attribute values take the form of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. In order to get the weight vector of the attribute, we establish an optimization model based on the basic ideal of traditional...
