Validity of an algorithm for determining sleep/wake states using FS-760 in school-aged children

Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 2022
Background Actigraphy is a method used for determining sleep (S)/wakefulness (W) by actigraph, a device equipped with a built-in accelerometer and an algorithm validated for each device. The S/W determination algorithm for the waist-worn actigraph FS-760

MicroRNA-298 reduces levels of human amyloid-β precursor protein (APP), β-site APP-converting enzyme 1 (BACE1) and specific tau protein moieties

Molecular Psychiatry, 2020
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common age-related form of dementia, associated with deposition of intracellular neuronal tangles consisting primarily of hyperphosphorylated microtubule-associated protein tau (p-tau) and extracellular plaques ...

Room-temperature operation of AlGaN ultraviolet-B laser diode at 298 nm on lattice-relaxed Al0.6Ga0.4N/AlN/sapphire

Applied Physics Express, 2020
An AlGaN ultraviolet-B laser diode at 298 nm was realized at room temperature using pulse operation. The laser diode has a lattice-relaxed Al0.6Ga0.4N layer from the underlying AlN/sapphire template and a composition-graded p-AlGaN cladding layer.

Downregulated circular RNA hsa_circ_0005797 inhibits endometrial cancer by modulating microRNA-298/Catenin delta 1 signaling

Bioengineered, 2021
Abnormal expression of circular RNA (circRNA) expression has been implicated in endometrial cancer (EC) progression. Thus, investigation of the mechanism of hsa_circ_0005797 during EC etiology may provide new insight into the treatment of EC.

Body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio misclassification of overweight and obesity in Chinese military personnel

Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 2020
Background The rising prevalence of obesity in military personnel has raised great concerns. Previous studies suggest that body mass index (BMI)- and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR)-based obesity classifications in US military personnel and firefighters have ...

Association of miR-34a and miR-143 levels with PPARγ gene expression in adipose tissues of non-diabetic adults

Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 2022
Background Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a promising therapeutic molecule. Epigenetic mechanisms, including non-coding RNAs, regulate the expression level of the PPARγ gene. Objective We aimed to examine the PPARγ expression

Performance of newly developed body mass index cut-off for diagnosing obesity among Ethiopian adults

Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 2019
Background Obesity is defined as unhealthy excess body fat, which increases the risk of premature mortality from noncommunicable diseases. Early screening and prevention of obesity is critical for averting associated morbidity, disability, and mortality.
