By first using our newly proposed PCSC framework for spatial localization at the frame-level and then applying it for temporal segmentation at the tube-level, the action localization results are progressively improved at both the frame level and the video level. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our new approaches.Face…[Read more]

Androgens, the predominant male sex hormones, drive the development and maintenance of male characteristics by binding to androgen receptor (AR). As androgens are systemically distributed throughout the whole organism, they affect many tissues and cell types in addition to those in male sexual organs. It is now clear that the immune system is a…[Read more]

mi (first MRI 0.01 ppm ± 0.02 and 17.65 sec-1 ± 5.16; last MRI 0 ppm ± 0.02 and 15.32 sec-1 ± 2.49) did not differ between the first and last MRI examinations (susceptibility, P = .95; R2*, P = .54). Conclusion No overall significant differences were found in susceptibility and R2* values of deep gray structures to suggest retained iron in the bra…[Read more]

Calixquinones, a class of cyclic oligomers composed of p-benzoquinone structures connected by methylene, have multi-conjugated carbonyl structures and adjustable cavities, which make their synthesis extremely attractive. In this minireview, synthetic methods of calixquinones and recent synthetic experience of our group are summarized. The merits…[Read more]

Air pollution exposure is recently reported to be one of the drivers of exacerbation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). But there was a lack of direct evidence between pollution and lung fibrosis. Here, our data show effects of pollutant benzopyrene (BaP) and protein G-protein-coupled receptor family C group 5 type A (GPRC5A) on pulmonary…[Read more]

Oct4 plays a crucial role in the regulation of self-renewal of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and reprogramming of somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying posttranslational regulation and protein stability of Oct4 remain unclear. Using affinity purification and mass spectrometry analysis, we…[Read more]
