Downregulation of serum miR-30c-5p serves as a biomarker to predict disease onset and short-term prognosis in acute coronary syndrome patients by Bo Chang, Xiangfeng Zhang, Riliang Fang, Huibin Li, Youdan Zhou, Yakun Wang

“…The expression of miR-30c-5p was negatively correlated with the cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels and the Gensini score. A lower miR-30c-5p expression was observed in ACS subjects who developed MACE (P = 0.020), and the K-M curve further confirmed the close correlation between miR-30c-5p expression and MACE occurrence in ACS. …”

Modeling the Saddle-like GeV–TeV Spectrum of HESS J1809–193: Gamma Rays Arising from Reverse-shocked Pulsar Wind Nebula? by Jiaxu Sun, Yang Chen, Yiwei Bao, Xiao Zhang, Xin Zhou

“…We suggest that the intriguing GeV–TeV spectral energy distribution (SED) of HESS J1809–193 and Fermi-LAT source J1810.3–1925e is very likely to be the gamma-ray signature of PWN J1809–193 in light of the scenario that the PWN was struck by the reverse shock of the parent supernova remnant. Based on the evolutionary theory of PWNe, we consider that, when the PWN was disrupted during a collision by the reverse shock, some VHE electrons escaped impulsively. …”
