Renal function in Ankylosing Spondylitis by Renu Saigal, Arun Kumar Agrawal, Laxmikant Goyal, Abhishek Agrawal, Naveen Gupta

“…Renal function abnormalities were more frequent among AS cases having elevated markers of disease activity. Renal abnormalities were more prevalent in cases taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for < 48 months than cases taking these drugs for ≥48 months, suggesting that these renal abnormalities were probably not due to NSAIDs-induced nephropathy but may be due to AS itself. …”

Short communication: Upregulation of hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced Shc3 by downregulated miR-455-5p, suppresses trophoblast invasion and is associated with placental inflammation a... by Hui-Zhi Gong, Jing Guan, Ying-Zi Pan, Hong-Juan Ding, Ai-Wu Shi, Ning Gu

“…Finally, we showed that the downregulation of miR-455-5p in PE contributes to increased Shc3 in extravillous trophoblasts, thereby limiting extravillous trophoblast cell invasion. Elevated Shc3 is associated with placental inflammation and angiogenesis inhibition. …”

Control Characteristics Analysis of Multi-Section Morphing Wing Based on Centroid Self-Trimming by Hang Ma, Zhongbin Zhou, Dingshan Zhang

“…The computational analysis results show: 1) The asymmetry morphing of the sweep angle can significantly improve the maneuvering control performance of the UAV with a large lift coefficient. 2) The overall control efficiency of the UAV can be effectively improved by increasing the deflection rate of the sweep angle and the system parameters of the main controller and supervisory controller. 3) Increasing the feedback value of the integral term of the PI compensator in the inner loop can reduce the oscillation degree of the inner loop system in tracking the target signal when the Mach number is large, and improve the tracking accuracy of the inner loop system. 4) Increasing the wingspan ratio of the inner wing section can reduce the elevator deflection angle required to track the target pitch signal during the morphing process. …”
