- To maintain the physiological dynamics of the mitral annulus, mitral annuloplasty rings (MAR) must be flexible. Enhanced flexibility implies decreased resistance to fatigue and potential for fatigue fracture. This study established new methods to test the flexible fatigue life of MAR in-vitro using numerical analysis; the purpose is that the fatigue test could reflect the real stress distribution in-vivo. Based on the conventional test methods (C1, D1), this paper presents a novel test method (C2, D2). Four testing methods for open-end annuloplasty rings (C1, C2) and closed-end annuloplasty rings (D1, D2) were modelled and their stress distribution calculated by finite element analysis. The mean absolute error (Χ) and the Pearson correlation coefficient (Φ) were used to quantify the difference in stress distribution between the loading modes in-vivo and in-vitro. For closed-end annuloplasty rings, the novel test method (D2) is not obvious better than conventional test methods(D1) in duplicating the stress distribution (Φ = 0.88 vs Φ = 0.92). However, the maximum values of stress in the novel test method are closer to the maximum value of stress under in-vivo loading (Χ = 5.2Mpa vs Χ = 4.4Mpa). For open-end annuloplasty rings, the novel test method(C2) is obviously superior to the conventional test method(C1) in duplicating both the stress distribution and the stress peak values of the in-vivo loading (Φ = 0.22 vs Φ = 0.98; Χ = 59.1Mpa vs Χ = 11.0Mpa). The in-vitro loading methods described in this article more closely approximated in-vivo conditions compared to traditional methods. They are simpler to operate, more efficient and can help manufacturers expedite new product development, assist regulatory agencies with product quality oversight. - Source: PubMed

Han WeiShi Chun-TaoChen HuaZhou QinDing WeiChen FangLiang Zhi-WeiTeng Ya-JieShao Qi-XiangDong Xiao-Qiang - Among types of trinucleotide repeats, there is some disproportion in the frequency of their occurrence in the human exome. This research presents new data describing the folding and thermodynamic stability of short, tandem RNA repeats of 23 types, focusing on the rare, yet poorly analyzed ones. UV-melting experiments included the presence of PEG or potassium and magnesium ions to determine their effect on the stability of RNA repeats structures. Rare repeats predominantly stayed single-stranded but had the potential for base pairing with other partially complementary repeat tracts. A coexistence of suitably complementary repeat types in a single RNA creates opportunities for interaction in the context of the secondary structure of RNA. We searched the human transcriptome for model RNAs in which different, particularly rare trinucleotide repeats coexist and selected the and RNAs to study intramolecular interactions between the repeat tracts that they contain. In vitro secondary structure probing results showed that the UAA and UUG repeat tracts, present in 3' UTR, form a double helix, which separates one of its structural domains. For the RNA ORF fragment containing four short AGG repeat tracts and the CGU tract, we proved the formation of quadruplexes that blocked reverse transcription. - Source: PubMed

The extent to which epigenetic DNA methylation changes are responsible for an X-chromosome dose effect has yet to be determined. Our objectives were to (i) describe how epigenetic DNA methylation changes could explain an X-chromosome dose effect in SS for women with normal 46,XX genotype and (ii) determine the relevant relationships to this dose effect, between X-linked genes, genes controlling X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) and genes encoding associated transcription factors, all of which are differentially expressed and/or differentially methylated in the salivary glands of patients with SS. We identified 58 upregulated X-chromosome genes, including 22 genes previously shown to escape XCI, based on the analysis of SS patient salivary gland GEO2R gene expression datasets. Moreover, we found XIST and its cis regulators RLIM, FTX, and CHIC1, and polycomb repressor genes of the PRC1/2 complexes to be upregulated. Many of the X-chromosome genes implicated in SS pathogenesis can be regulated by transcription factors which we found to be overexpressed and/or differentially methylated in patients with SS. Determination of the mechanisms underlying methylation-dependent gene expression and impaired XCI is needed to further elucidate the etiopathogenesis of SS. - Source: PubMed
