Metamorphic processes, leading to mineralogical and structural changes of the rocks in response to physical (pressure, temperature) and chemical conditions, can be associated with the development of sin-metamorphic or post-metamorphic fractures. The post-metamorphic ones are directly related to tectonic stress. In addition, tectonic stress may caus...

This paper addresses some formation evaluation challenges and petrophysical particularities regarding two gas fields of Early Pliocene age, belonging to the biogenic hydrocarbon system of Western Black Sea Basin-Romanian continental shelf. Although these structures are located at the same depth and only 15 km apart, the wells that intercepted the s...

Governments, worldwide, are committed to achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). In a context where urban agglomerates consume roughly 80% of the global energy, of which buildings account for 40%, energy-efficient buildings can make a significant contribution to meeting SDGs 11 and 13. Currently, the implementation of energy efficiency meas...

Background/Aims: Podocytes are dynamic polarized cells on the surface of glomerular capillaries that are an essential part of the glomerular filtration barrier. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key regulator of glucose and fatty acid metabolism, plays a major role in obesity and type 2 diabetes. Accumulating evidence suggests that TRPC6 chann...

Background/Aims: An increasing number of studies have suggested that circular RNAs (circRNAs) have vital roles in carcinogenesis and tumor progression. However, the function of circRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains poorly characterized. Methods: We investigated the levels of circRNAs in patients with HCC to identify potential diagnosti...

Background/Aims: There are known links between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and changes in the microbiota of the gut and inflammation and oxidative stress. In this study, a colitis model induced by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) in mice is used to evaluate whether the presence of bioactive peptides IRW (Ile-Arg-Trp) and IQW (Ile-Gln-Trp) peptides...

Background/Aims: The neuropathies Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), and schizophrenia (SCZ) have different pathological mechanisms but share some common neurodegenerative features, such as gradual loss of neuronal structure and function. Dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH), a gene located in the chromosomal region 9q34, plays a crucia...

Background/Aims: Immunosuppression frequently occurs during the development of sepsis and is closely associated with poor outcome. Characteristics of immunosuppressive CD4+ T lymphocytes in sepsis have been reported to include dramatic cell loss and inactivation. p53 acts as a pivotal transcription factor in regulating cell proliferation and apopto...

Background/Aims: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been a research hotspot, as they play important roles in tumor development. However, their expression pattern and biological function in osteosarcoma have not yet been clarified. Methods: Differentially expressed lncRNAs in osteosarcoma and paracarcinoma tissues were identified by screening an lnc...

Background/Aims: Increased expression of galectin-1 (Gal-1) in gastric cancer (GC) promotes metastasis and correlates with poor prognosis. The mechanisms by which Gal-1 promotes GC metastasis remain unknown. Methods: Gal-1and Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) were determined by immunohistochemistry(IHC) and quantitative real time polymeras...
