Shen M, Yin J, Ding X, Shui R, Zhou J.
PMID: 27242595
Front Psychol. 2016 May 09;7:681. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2016.00681. eCollection 2016.

Understanding the social structures between objects, organizing, and selecting them accordingly, is fundamental to social cognition. We report an example that demonstrates the object association learned from social interactions could impact visual attention. Particularly, when two hands approach each...

AMP-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) Regulates Energy Metabolism through Modulating Thermogenesis in Adipose Tissue.

Frontiers in physiology

Front Physiol. 2018 Feb 21;9:122. doi: 10.3389/fphys.2018.00122. eCollection 2018.

Obesity occurs when excess energy accumulates in white adipose tissue (WAT), whereas brown adipose tissue (BAT), which is specialized in dissipating energy through thermogenesis, potently counteracts obesity. White adipocytes can be converted to thermogenic "brown-like" cells (beige cells; WAT...

Objective. This meta-analysis is aimed at assessing the safety and efficiency of colonic self-expanding metallic stents (SEMS) used as a bridge to surgery in the management of left-sided malignant colonic obstruction (LMCO). Methods. A systematic search was conducted in...

First-Principles Predictions of Thermoelectric Figure of Merit for Organic Materials: Deformation Potential Approximation.

Journal of chemical theory and computation

Chen J, Wang D, Shuai Z.
PMID: 26605740
J Chem Theory Comput. 2012 Sep 11;8(9):3338-47. doi: 10.1021/ct3004436. Epub 2012 Aug 21.

We propose a combined computational scheme to predict the thermoelectric properties of organic semiconductors, taking α-form phthalocyanine crystals H2Pc, CuPc, NiPc, and TiOPc as examples. This completely parameter-free approach combines first-principles band structure calculations, Boltzmann transport theory, deformation potential...

Luteolin prevents uric acid-induced pancreatic β-cell dysfunction.

Journal of biomedical research

Ding Y, Shi X, Shuai X, Xu Y, Liu Y, Liang X, Wei D, Su D.
PMID: 25050113
J Biomed Res. 2014 Jul;28(4):292-8. doi: 10.7555/JBR.28.20130170. Epub 2014 Mar 28.

Elevated uric acid causes direct injury to pancreatic β-cells. In this study, we examined the effects of luteolin, an important antioxidant, on uric acid-induced β-cell dysfunction. We first evaluated the effect of luteolin on nitric oxide (NO) formation in...
