Fabrication of Hollow Needle Tips with Nanoholes by Plasma Maskless Processing and Calculation and Detection of Complex Surface Edges by Zuocai Dai, Sha Zhou, Tongguang Yang, Yanpeng Wang

“…And the Ar reaction ionization potential (15.76 eV) and excitation potential (11.53 eV, 11.72 eV) are lower than the splitting potential (≥16 eV) of SF6. As time goes on, high-energy particles are neutralized with the vessel wall, so the ion concentration is gradually smaller, sparse between 200 and 250, and increases from 100 to 300, which is close to the peak value, according to the gradual increase of the discharge voltage. …”

Artificially Positive Crossmatches Not Leading to the Refusal of Kidney Donations due to the Usage of Adequate Diagnostic Tools by G. Schlaf, B. Pollok-Kopp, E. Schabel, W. Altermann

“…Consequently both transplantations were performed without any immunological complications for the hitherto follow-up time of 25 and 28 months, respectively. We here show two case reports demonstrating an alternative methodical approach to circumvent CDC-based artefacts and point to the urgent need to substitute the CDC-based crossmatch procedure at least for special groups of patients.…”

Identification of the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA Regulatory Network in Bladder Cancer by Bioinformatics Analysis by Jiancheng Lv, Ping-an Chang, Xin Li, Xiao Yang, Jie Han, Hao Yu, Zijian Zhou, Haiwei Yang, Pengchao Li, Jiexiu Zhang, Qiang Lu

“…We detected the expression levels of these 10 mRNAs in 16 pairs of BCa tissues and adjacent normal tissues through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The differentially expressed mRNAs and central mRNAs were enriched in the processes and pathways that are associated with the growth, differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis of tumor cells. …”
