Effect of lncRNA H19 on Rats with Chronic Heart Failure Based on TGF-β1/Smad3 Signaling Pathway by WANG Lingyan, CAO Guojun, MEI Yang, ZHANG Bin, ZHOU Shijing

“…Two days after the last injection, color Doppler ultrasound was used to detect cardiac function indexes [left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS), left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVESD), left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD)]; Masson staining was used to detect myocardial fibrosis and collagen volume fraction (CVF); real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the transcription level of lncRNA H19 and miRNA-200a in myocardial tissue of rats; Western blot method was used to detect the protein expression level of TGF-β1 and Smad3 in myocardial tissue of rats.ResultsCompared with sham surgery group, the protein expression level of LVEDD, LVESD, TGF-β1, Smad3 and transcription level of miRNA-200a in the other four groups significantly increased, while the protein expression level of LVFS, LVEF and transcription level of lncRNA H19 significantly decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the heart failure group and the negative control group, the protein expression level of LVEDD, LVESD, TGF-β1, Smad3 and transcription level of miRNA-200a in the overexpression group and the combined overexpression group significantly decreased, while the protein expression level of LVFS, LVEF and transcription level of lncRNA H19 significantly increased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the overexpression group, the protein expression level of LVEDD, LVESD, TGF-β1, Smad3 and transcription level of miRNA-200a in the combined overexpression group significantly increased, while LVFS and LVEF significantly decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), and the transcription level of lncRNA H19 was not statistically different (<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05). …”

Optimization by Hydrogen Plasma Treatment of a-CH and Hydrogen/Nitrogen-Assisted a-CH Layers for SAW Sensors by Veronica Satulu, Mihai Paunica, Simona Brajnicov, Sorin Vizireanu, Gheorghe Dinescu, Bogdana Mitu, Cristian Viespe

“…Smooth films, with an AFM root mean square below 1.5 nm, were obtained in all cases, although slight topographical variations were noted, depending on the gas types. XPS detected varying degrees of oxidation, indicating that the assisting gases played a crucial role in introducing oxygen-containing functional groups, thus influencing the material’s surface chemistry and sensitivity response. …”
