CKM and LILRB5 are associated with serum levels of creatine kinase.
Statins (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) are the most prescribed class of lipid-lowering drugs for the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease. Creatine kinase (CK) is a commonly used biomarker to assist in the diagnosis of statin-induced myotoxicity but the normal range of CK concentrations is wide, which lim...

Loss of nNOS inhibits compensatory muscle hypertrophy and exacerbates inflammation and eccentric contraction-induced damage in mdx mice.
Approaches targeting nitric oxide (NO) signaling show promise as therapies for Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies. However, the mechanisms by which NO benefits dystrophin-deficient muscle remain unclear, but may involve nNOSβ, a newly discovered enzymatic source of NO in skeletal muscle. Here we investigate the i...

Quantum molecular resonance-assisted phonomicrosurgery: preliminary experience.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of quantum molecular resonance (QMR) energy in phonomicrosurgery. Quantum molecular resonance energy (QMRE) is an innovative technology that provides low temperature cutting and coagulation of tissues and causes minimal tissue damage during the procedure. Because of t...

Modeling ovarian follicle growth in commercial and heritage Single Comb White Leghorn hens.
Approximately 84% of the energy in chicken eggs resides in the yolk. A robust model of ovarian follicle development is therefore valuable for estimating energy requirements of laying hens. The current experiment was designed to model the growth of ovarian follicles in 32-wk-old modern commercial line (CL) and unselecte...

Genetic Profile Variation in Vaccine Strains and Clinical Isolates of Bordetella pertussis Recovered from Iranian Patients.
Re-emergence of pertussis has been reported in Iran despite a high rate of vaccination coverage. Low efficacy of the vaccine might be due to the genetic divergence between clinical versus vaccine strains. In the current study, the genetic profiles of clinical isolates and vaccine strains of Bordetella pertussis (B. per...

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common form of congenital human birth anomalies and a leading cause of perinatal and infant mortality. Some studies including our published genome-wide association study (GWAS) of CHD have indicated that genetic variants may contribute to the risk of CHD. Recently, Cordell et ...

Experimental validation of the role of trifluoroethanol as a nanocrowder.
Trifluoroethanol (TFE) is commonly used to induce protein secondary structure, especially α-helix formation. Due to its amphiphilic nature, however, TFE can also self-associate to form micellelike, nanometer-sized clusters. Herein, we hypothesize that such clusters can act as nanocrowders to increase protein folding ra...

Conformational change in cytochrome P450 reductase adsorbed at a Au(110)-phosphate buffer interface induced by interaction with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate.
Changes observed in the reflection anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS) profiles of monolayers of cytochrome P450 reductase adsorbed at Au(110)-electrolyte interfaces at 0.056 V following the addition of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP(+)) are explained in terms of a simple model as arising from changes in t...

Scale-free and economical features of functional connectivity in neuronal networks.
A form of activity that is highly studied in cultured cortical networks is the neuronal avalanche, characterized by bursts whose distribution follows a power law. While the statistics of neuronal avalanches are well characterized, much less is known about the neuronal interactions from which they arise. We examined sta...

Dynamical immunization strategy for seasonal epidemics.
The topic of finding an effective strategy to halt virus in a complex network is of current interest. We propose an immunization strategy for seasonal epidemics that occur periodically. Based on the local information of the infection status from the previous epidemic season, the selection of vaccinated nodes is optimiz...

Heterogeneous mean field for neural networks with short-term plasticity.
We report about the main dynamical features of a model of leaky integrate-and-fire excitatory neurons with short-term plasticity defined on random massive networks. We investigate the dynamics by use of a heterogeneous mean-field formulation of the model that is able to reproduce dynamical phases characterized by the p...

Temporal stability of network partitions.
We present a method to find the best temporal partition at any time scale and rank the relevance of partitions found at different time scales. This method is based on random walkers coevolving with the network and as such constitutes a generalization of partition stability to the case of temporal networks. We show that...

Disorder-enhanced exciton delocalization in an extended dendrimer.
The exciton dynamics in a disordered extended dendrimer is investigated numerically. Because a homogeneous dendrimer exhibits few highly degenerate energy levels, a dynamical localization arises when the exciton is initially located on the periphery. However, it is shown that the disorder lifts the degeneracy and favor...

Generalized dark-bright vector soliton solution to the mixed coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations.

Unpinning of scroll waves under the influence of a thermal gradient.

Non-Darcy behavior of two-phase channel flow.
We study the macroscopic behavior of two-phase flow in porous media from a phase-field model. A dissipation law is first derived from the phase-field model by homogenization. For simple channel geometry in pore scale, the scaling relation of the averaged dissipation rate with the velocity of the two-phase flow can be e...
