The present study compared the prognostic value of a marker, the C-terminal section of the arginine vasopressin prohormone (copeptin), with N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in patients with severe acute decompensated heart failure. A prospective, observational cohort study was...

Irisin levels are associated with urotensin II levels in diabetic patients.

Journal of diabetes investigation

He WY, Bai Q, A LT, Tang CS, Zhang AH.
PMID: 26417416
J Diabetes Investig. 2015 Sep;6(5):571-6. doi: 10.1111/jdi.12331. Epub 2015 Mar 12.

AIMS/INTRODUCTION: Irisin is a newly identified myokine that can promote energy expenditure. Previous studies showed that circulating urotensin II (UII) levels were increased in diabetes, and UII could inhibit the glucose transport in skeletal muscle in diabetic mice and...

Electrical and optical performance of plasmonic silicon solar cells based on light scattering of silver and indium nanoparticles in matrix-combination.

Optics express

Ho WJ, Lee YY, Hu CH, Wang WL.
PMID: 27505757
Opt Express. 2016 Aug 08;24(16):17900-9. doi: 10.1364/OE.24.017900.

This study demonstrates the efficacy of combining a matrix of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) with indium nanoparticles (In-NPs) to improve the electric and optical performance of plasmonic silicon solar cells. We examined the excitation of localized surface plasmons of Ag-NPs...

Droplet Size-Aware and Error-Correcting Sample Preparation Using Micro-Electrode-Dot-Array Digital Microfluidic Biochips.

IEEE transactions on biomedical circuits and systems

IEEE Trans Biomed Circuits Syst. 2017 Dec;11(6):1380-1391. doi: 10.1109/TBCAS.2017.2742548. Epub 2017 Sep 29.

Sample preparation in digital microfluidics refers to the generation of droplets with target concentrations for on-chip biochemical applications. In recent years, digital microfluidic biochips (DMFBs) have been adopted as a platform for sample preparation. However, there remain two major...

Ectopic expression of OsMADS45 activates the upstream genes Hd3a and RFT1 at an early development stage causing early flowering in rice.

Botanical studies

Wang JD, Lo SF, Li YS, Chen PJ, Lin SY, Ho TY, Lin JH, Chen LJ.
PMID: 28510861
Bot Stud. 2013 Dec;54(1):12. doi: 10.1186/1999-3110-54-12. Epub 2013 Aug 21.

BACKGROUND: The rice gene, OsMADS45, which belongs to the MADS-box E class gene, participates in the regulation of floral development. Previous studies have revealed that ectopic expression of OsMADS45 induces early flowering and influences reduced plant height under short-day...

Quantitative analyses of myelofibrosis by determining hydroxyproline.

Stem cell investigation

Zhao W, Ho WT, Zhao ZJ.
PMID: 27358870
Stem Cell Investig. 2015 Jan 26;2:2. doi: 10.3978/j.issn.2306-9759.2015.01.02. eCollection 2015.

BACKGROUND: Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are blood malignancies manifested in increased production of red blood cells, white blood cells, and/or platelets. Myelofibrosis is a subtype of MPNs characterized by the formation of scar-like tissues in the bone marrow due to...
