Abstract Hydraulic fracturing has been applied to enhance CBM production and prevent gas dynamical hazard in underground coal mines in China. However, affected by in situ stress orientation, hydrofracture can hardly continuously propagate within coal seam but may easily extend to the adjacent roof-floor strata, causing ineffective permeability enhancement in coal seam and increasing the risk of gas transfinite during mining coal. Thus, it is very necessary to artificially control the propagation direction of hydrofracture and make it well-aligned in large scale in coal seam. In this study, a method for controlling propagation direction of hydrofracture… More >

Abstract A direct time integration scheme based on Gauss-Legendre quadrature is proposed to solve problems in linear structural dynamics. The proposed method is a one-parameter non-dissipative scheme. Improved stability, accuracy, and dispersion characteristics are achieved using appropriate values of the parameter. The proposed scheme has second-order accuracy with and without physical damping. Moreover, its stability, accuracy, and dispersion are analyzed. In addition, its performance is demonstrated by the two-dimensional scalar wave problem, the single-degree-of-freedom problem, two degrees-of-freedom spring system, and beam with boundary constraints. The wave propagation problem is solved in the high frequency wave regime More >

Abstract Introduction: Multimodal analgesia is an effective strategy for managing postoperative pain and reducing opioid dependence. The quadratus lumborum block (QLB) and paravertebral block (PVB) are two regional anesthesia techniques that enhance multimodal pain management. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of these two approaches in patients undergoing radical cystectomy. Materials and methods: A retrospective review was conducted on patients who underwent radical cystectomy between 2014 and 2016. Patients were divided into two groups based on the type of regional anesthesia received: bilateral continuous paravertebral blocks (n = 125) or bilateral single-shot quadratus lumborum blocks… More >

Abstract THIS ARTICLE WAS WITHDRAWN BY THE PUBLISHER IN 03/2021 We submitted a manuscript entitled "Long Noncoding RNA MEG3 Inhibits Cell Proliferation and Metastasis in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia via Targeting miR-184", which was published in the 26(2) issue of Oncology Research. But now we found some inaccuracies in this manuscript. So after carefully thinking, we are going to withdraw manuscript and try to give more precise model. Thus we decided to withdraw this manuscript with great pity. We sincerely say sorry for all the staffs involved this manuscript because of our action. All authors agree to More >

Abstract Carbonic anhydrase (CA) IX has emerged as a promising target for cancer therapy. It is highly upregulated in hypoxic regions and mediates pH regulation critical for tumor cell survival as well as extracellular acidification of the tumor microenvironment, which promotes tumor aggressiveness via various mechanisms, such as augmenting metastatic potential. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the complex interdependency between CA IX and the tumor microenvironment in prostate tumor cells with regard to potential therapeutic implications. CA IX was upregulated by hypoxia as well as acidosis in prostate cancer cells. This induction… More >
