Accumulating evidence has indicated that noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are involved in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). However, the ncRNA-associated competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA)-mediated regulatory mechanisms in DIC remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to systematically investigate the alterations in expression levels of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), microRNA (miRNA), and mRNA in a DIC mouse model through deep RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).

To better understand the impacts of non-carbonic acid (NCAs, including sulfuric, nitric and organic acids) stress on DIC generation during chemical weathering, this study investigated the water chemistry and stable isotope composition (C) from a granitic-hosted watershed at Huangshan UNESCO Global Geopark, China. The results show that the dissolved loads of the watershed are dominated by both silicate and carbonate weathering. As a region with greatly distributed acid soil and high occurrence of acid rain, the evolution of the dissolved loads and C show that DIC generation in carbonate dissolution is promoted by HSO, reduced by HNO and little disturbed by organic acids.

The camera is the main sensor of vison-based human activity recognition, and its high-precision calibration of distortion is an important prerequisite of the task. Current studies have shown that multi-parameter model methods achieve higher accuracy than traditional methods in the process of camera calibration. However, these methods need hundreds or even thousands of images to optimize the camera model, which limits their practical use. Read More

We propose a cost-effective and simple-to-implement mirror-assisted single-camera panoramic digital image correlation (DIC) method for panoramic/dual-surface profile and deformation measurement. Specifically, two planar mirrors and a single camera attached with a four-mirror adapter are used to capture stereo images of the front and rear surfaces of a test object. These stereo images can be processed by regular stereo-DIC to retrieve shape and kinematics fields of each surface. Read More

Invasive pneumococcal disease occurs in high-risk patient population which includes patients with asplenia and primary hypocomplementaemia. Pneumococcal sepsis can rarely cause disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and intravascular thrombosis of small and medium sized vessels called purpura fulminans which is associated with a high mortality rate. We present the case of an immunocompetent woman in her 50s with an intact spleen who presented with septic shock from bacteraemia. Read More
