This reveals the existence of an RNA-miRNA regulatory pathway and is of great biological significance. CeRNAs, as competitive endogenous RNAs, have revealed a new mechanism of interaction between RNAs. Until now, the role of lncRNA-mediated ceRNAs in breast cancer and their regulatory mechanisms have been elucidated to some extent. Purpose: In this study, comprehensive analysis of large-scale invasive breast cancer samples in TCGA were conducted to further explore the developmental mechanism of invasive breast cancer and the potential predictive markers for invasive breast cancer prognosis in the ceRNA network. Methods: Abnormal expression profiles of invasive breast cancer associated mRNAs, lncRNAs and miRNAs were obtained from the TCGA database. Through further alignment and prediction of target genes, an abnormal lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network was constructed for invasive breast cancer. Through the overall survival analysis, Identification prognostic biomarkers for invasive breast cancer patients，In addition, we used Cytoscape plug-in BinGo for the different mRNA performance functional cluster analysis. Results: Differential analysis revealed that 1059 lncRNAs, 86 miRNAs, and 2138 mRNAs were significantly different in invasive breast cancer samples versus normal samples. Then we construct an abnormal lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network for invasive breast cancer, consisting of 90 DElncRNAs, 18 DEmiRNAs and 26 DEmRNAs.Further, 4 out of 90 lncRNAs, 3 out of 26 mRNAs, and 2 out of 18 miRNAs were useful as prognostic biomarkers for invasive breast cancer patients (P value < 0.05). It is worth noting that based on the ceRNA network, we found that the LINC00466-Hsa-mir-204- NTRK2 LINC00466-hsa-mir-204-NTRK2 axis was present in 9 RNAs associated with the prognosis of invasive breast cancer. Conclusion: This study provides an effective bioinformatics basis for further understanding of the molecular mechanism of invasive breast cancerand for predicting outcomes, which can guide the use of invasive breast cancerdrugs and subsequent related research. Keywords: invasive breast cancer, cancer genome atlas, lncRNA–miRNA–mRNA ceRNA network, bioinformatics, diagnosis and prognosis biomarker
Integrated analysis of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network in human aortic dissection
No full textAbstract Background Many studies on long chain non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are published in recent years. But the roles of lncRNAs in aortic dissection (AD) are still unclear and should be further examined. The present work focused on determining the molecular mechanisms underlying lncRNAs regulation in aortic dissection on the basis of the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. Methods This study collected the lncRNAs (GSE52093), mRNAs (GSE52093) and miRNAs (GSE92427) expression data within human tissue samples with aortic dissection group and normal group based on Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Results This study identified three differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs), 19 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRs) and 1046 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEGs) identified regarding aortic dissection. Furthermore, we constructed a lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network through three lncRNAs (including two with up-regulation and one with down-regulation), five miRNAs (five with up-regulation), as well as 211 mRNAs (including 103 with up-regulation and 108 with down-regulation). Simultaneously, we conducted functional enrichment and pathway analyses on genes within the as-constructed ceRNA network. According to our PPI/ceRNA network and functional enrichment analysis results, four critical genes were found (E2F2, IGF1R, BDNF and PPP2R1B). In addition, E2F2 level was possibly modulated via lncRNA FAM87A-hsa-miR-31-5p/hsa-miR-7-5p or lncRNA C9orf106-hsa-miR-7-5p. The expression of IGF1R may be regulated by lncRNA FAM87A-hsa-miR-16-5p/hsa-miR-7-5p or lncRNA C9orf106-hsa-miR-7-5p. Conclusion In conclusion, the ceRNA interaction axis we identified is a potentially critical target for treating AD. Our results shed more lights on the possible pathogenic mechanism in AD using a lncRNA-associated ceRNA network

Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
No full textFirst evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)
The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law
No full textAbstract
The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
