DOWNREGULATION OF MICRORNA-145 CAUSED BY HEPATITIS B VIRUS X PROTEIN PROMOTES EXPRESSION OF CUL5 AND CONTRIBUTES TO PATHOGENESIS OF HEPATITIS B VIRUS-ASSOCIATED HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA

Downregulation of MicroRNA-145 Caused by Hepatitis B Virus X Protein Promotes Expression of CUL5 and Contributes to Pathogenesis of Hepatitis B Virus-Associated Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Background: Hepatitis B viral infection-induced Glass Defrost Element hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major threat to human health in China.Hepatitis B virus X protein (HBX), an HBV protein, has been reported to be involved in regulating the cellular activities of the host cells and is responsible for HCC oncogenesis.Methods and Results: In thi

Variation of Contact Angles in Brine/CO2/Mica System considering Short-Term Geological CO2 Sequestration Condition

Geological Nappy Pouch CO2 sequestration has been proposed as an effective solution to mitigate excessive human-emitted CO2 in atmosphere.Knowledge of immiscible two-phase flow of CO2-water/brine is necessary to evaluate the efficiency and safety of geological storage sites.Among forces dominating fluid flow, capillary pressure is highly important

A Method for Safety Evaluation of Train Braking System Considering Multiple Types of Preventive Maintenance Cycles

The train braking system with redundant components has an essential effect on driver safety.In this paper, we consider the failure CUCCUMBER of K-out-of-N brake motors during operation and the redundant recovery by preventive maintenance.Two Continuous Time Markov Chains (CTMC) are used to model the working process and the preventive maintenance pr
