Histone deacetylase inhibition with givinostat: a multi-targeted mode of action with the potential to halt the pathological cascade of Duchenne muscular dystrophy by A. Aartsma-Rus

“…In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), these processes are disrupted by the loss of functional dystrophin, a key part of the transmembrane dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex that stabilizes myofibers, indirectly leading to progressive muscle wasting, subsequent loss of ambulation, respiratory and cardiac insufficiency, and premature death. …”

Research on reconfigurable service carrying network active protection algorithms by Ning QI, Bin-qiang WANG, Zhi-ming WANG

“…To construct reconfigurable service carrying network (RSCN) in reconfigurable flexible network (RFNet) infrastructure could provide traffic specific communication services for different end users.This could effectively solve the puzzle faced by traditional Internet infrastructure.Because of the blight of network failure,active protection problems of RSCN were discussed.Mathematics model of RSCN active protection issues were established.To avoid enormous influence because of important resource failure,a resource stress factor (RSF) awareness main link construction algorithm named RSF-aware MLCA was proposed.To improve success running ratio and reduce network link failure loss of RSCN,a RSCN protection link construction algorithm named RPLCA was implemented.Considering of the two sub-algorithms,RSCN active protection algorithm named RAPA was designed.The efficiency of algorithms was evaluated by emulation experiments according to RSCN success running ratio and main link utilization ratio and average network link failure loss under several scenarios.…”
