May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is caused by venous occlusion because of compression of the iliac vein by the iliac artery and vertebral body, leading to left lower extremity deep venous thrombosis, eventually resulting in a series of symptoms. Endovascular treatment has now become the most preferred method of treatment of MTS. The authors report a 66-year-old woman who was hospitalized because of increasing swelling in her left lower limb for almost 2 weeks. Ultrasonography performed upon admission

... indicated MTS, and venography revealed occlusion of the left common iliac vein and massive thrombosis in the left external iliac and femoral veins. The left lower extremity venous blood flow returned to normal after the patient underwent manual aspiration thrombectomy using a guide catheter, followed by balloon angioplasty and stent placement. The patient achieved complete remission after 1 week and had no in-stent restenosis during the 1-year follow-up. Endovascular treatment is a safe and effective treatment of MTS.

In this paper we propose a novel framework for the construction of sparsity-inducing priors. In particular, we define such priors as a mixture of exponential power distributions with a generalized inverse Gaussian density (EP-GIG). EP-GIG is a variant of generalized hyperbolic distributions, and the special cases include Gaussian scale mixtures and Laplace scale mixtures. Furthermore, Laplace scale mixtures can subserve a Bayesian framework for sparse learning with nonconvex penalization. The

... nsities of EP-GIG can be explicitly expressed. Moreover, the corresponding posterior distribution also follows a generalized inverse Gaussian distribution. These properties lead us to EM algorithms for Bayesian sparse learning. We show that these algorithms bear an interesting resemblance to iteratively re-weighted ℓ_2 or ℓ_1 methods. In addition, we present two extensions for grouped variable selection and logistic regression.

Determination of NO concentration in live cells is essential to evaluate its related cellular functions. In this letter, the concentration of NO in HeLa cells and rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons are studied by confocal laser scanning microscopy using DAF-2 DA as a fluorescence probe. The results show the fluorescence intensity of NO in HeLa cells is higher than that in DRG neurons, which indicats that the former exhibits higher NO concentration. Furthermore, the experimental conditions

The framework of the platform includes a compiler of the quantum while-language and a suite of tools for simulating quantum computation, optimizing quantum circuits, and analyzing and verifying quantum programs. Throughout the paper, using Q|SI〉 to simulate quantum behaviors on classical platforms

The Apache Spark framework for distributed computation is popular in the data analytics community due to its ease of use, but its MapReduce-style programming model can incur significant overheads when performing computations that do not map directly onto this model. One way to mitigate these costs is to off-load computations onto MPI codes. In recent work, we introduced Alchemist, a system for the analysis of large-scale data sets. Alchemist calls MPI-based libraries from within Spark

... ns, and it has minimal coding, communication, and memory overheads. In particular, Alchemist allows users to retain the productivity benefits of working within the Spark software ecosystem without sacrificing performance efficiency in linear algebra, machine learning, and other related computations. In this paper, we discuss the motivation behind the development of Alchemist, and we provide a detailed overview its design and usage. We also demonstrate the efficiency of our approach on medium-to-large data sets, using some standard linear algebra operations, namely matrix multiplication and the truncated singular value decomposition of a dense matrix, and we compare the performance of Spark with that of Spark+Alchemist. These computations are run on the NERSC supercomputer Cori Phase 1, a Cray XC40.

Given a data matrix X ∈ R^n× d and a response vector y ∈ R^n, suppose n>d, it costs O(n d^2) time and O(n d) space to solve the least squares regression (LSR) problem. When n and d are both large, exactly solving the LSR problem is very expensive. When n ≫ d, one feasible approach to speeding up LSR is to randomly embed y and all columns of X into a smaller subspace R^c; the induced LSR problem has the same number of columns but much fewer number of rows, and it can be solved in O(c d^2) time

... d O(c d) space. We discuss in this paper two random sampling based methods for solving LSR more efficiently. Previous work showed that the leverage scores based sampling based LSR achieves 1+ϵ accuracy when c ≥ O(d ϵ^-2 d). In this paper we sharpen this error bound, showing that c = O(d d + d ϵ^-1) is enough for achieving 1+ϵ accuracy. We also show that when c ≥ O(μ d ϵ^-2 d), the uniform sampling based LSR attains a 2+ϵ bound with positive probability.

We have read the article with interest by Zhuang and colleagues (1) on the combination of IL1R antagonist and gemcitabine in gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The article showed that gemcitabine-induced NF-kB and ERK activation in gemcitabine-resistant PDAC cells can be reversed by anakinra, an FDA-approved IL1R antagonist. However, there are still some key points that should be discussed with more details. The mutational activity of KRAS has been detected in 85% to

... 90% of PDAC and 70% of KRAS-mutant PDAC with NF-kB activation. Mutations were found in the second base of codon 12 of KRAS in almost all pancreatic cancer cell lines, except Hs766T and BxPC-3 (2). However, the sensitivity of gemcitabine was not consistent with the mutation of KRAS; both CFPAC-1 and BxPC-1 are sensitive to gemcitabine. So NF-kB signal pathway, as a key downstream of KRAS, might be the critical point. As demonstrated by the authors, gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer cell lines like AsPC-1 showed activation of NF-kB after the use of gemcitabine, which was considered as a pivotal mechanism of gemcitabine resistance. But unfortunately, previous studies demonstrate controversial opinions on the correlation between the activation of NF-kB and gemcitabine resistance in PDAC. In the study by Pan and colleagues (3) , the authors found that NF-kB activity did not correlate with sensitivity to gemcitabine, and gemcitabine treatment did not activate NF-kB either in vitro or in vivo both in gemcitabine-sensitive/resistant pancreatic cancer cell lines. Our group also found that gemcitabine could reduce the activation of NF-kB both in BxPC-3/CFPAC-1 (gemcitabine sensitive) and AsPC-1/PANC-1 (gemcitabine resistant) cell lines. What is more, gemcitabine could not induce NF-kB activation in BxPC-3/GEM cell line in some studies (4), which means that NF-kB activation was not a general result after gemcitabine treatment in different gemcitabine-resistant cell lines, even in the same pancreatic cancer cell line. All the results indicated that NF-kB activation may not be a mechanism of gemcitabine resistance in PDAC, and further evidence is required. According to previous research, Ling and colleagues (5) revealed that KRAS G12D -induced IL1a activated NF-kB and its target genes IL1a and p62 to initiate IL1a/p62 feedback loop, which may be an important mechanism between KRAS mutation and NF-kB activation in the development of PDAC. In conclusion, we congratulate Zhuang and colleagues: IL1a may be a useful therapeutic target for a subset of pancreatic cancer, but we believe that its mechanism of reversing gemcitabine resistance remains controversial.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral nerve entrapment syndrome, affecting a large proportion of the general population. Genetic susceptibility has been implicated in CTS, but the causative genes remain elusive. Here, we report the identification of two mutations in cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) that segregate with CTS in two large families with or without multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED). Both mutations impair the secretion of COMP by tenocytes, but the

... tion associated with MED also perturbs its secretion in chondrocytes. Further functional characterization of the CTS-specific mutation reveals similar histological and molecular changes of tendons/ligaments in patients' biopsies and the mouse models. The mutant COMP fails to oligomerize properly and is trapped in the ER, resulting in ER stress-induced unfolded protein response and cell death, leading to inflammation, progressive fibrosis and cell composition change in tendons/ligaments. The extracellular matrix (ECM) organization is also altered. Our studies uncover a previously unrecognized mechanism in CTS pathogenesis.
