It has been reported that genetic polymorphisms of MSR1 are significantly associated with the number of diseased vessels and coronary artery narrowing greater than 20% in Caucasians. However, whether it links genetically to coronary artery disease （CAD） in Chinese is not defined. Here, we performed an independent case-control study in a Chinese population consisting of 402 CAD cases and 400 controls by genotyping ten single nucleotide polymorphisms （SNPs） of MSR1. We found that rs416748 and rs13306541 were significantly associated with an increased risk of CAD with per allele odds ratio （OR） of 1.56 [95% confidence interval （CI） = 1.28-1.90; P 〈 0.001] and 1.70 （95% CI = 1.27-2.27; P 〈 0.001）, re- spectively. Our results indicate that genetic variants of MSR1 may serve as predictive markers for the risk of CAD / in combination with traditional risk factors of CAD in Chinese population.展开更多

This is because of more and more public awareness of the polarization in material conditions between regular workers and irregular workers. So, this study focuses on the main factors explaining awareness of irregular worker issues of each of the classes, and relationship between class consciousness in both countries. The result shows that among factors affecting awareness of irregular work issues, negative effect of subjective employment stability was significant in both countries. In regard of anti-flexibility, while strong class effect was observed in Korea, negative effect of anti-neoliberalism was observed in Japan. This is seemingly contradictory that who opposes neoliberal economic policies agrees with labor market flexibilisation. This phenomenon could be explained by labor market characteristics in Korea and Japan. Japanese labor market is characterized by low flexibility and strong segmentation, while Korean labor market is characterized by high flexibility and strong segmentation. Interaction of these two characteristics increases the labor market inequality in Korea.展开更多

Researchers have developed techniques for monitoring and playing back the acoustic signal (AS) of RPHs, and have made important breakthroughs in several aspects of AC. The study proved that the stridulating organ is on both sides of the juncture of pterothorax and abdomen of adult RPHs, and the AS were produced by convolution homomorphic system. On the acoustic ana. lysis of ASs, not only was the wavcform of ASs analysed, but also the spectrum of ASs was studied more展开更多
