Tong, Qiangsong, Zheng, Liduan, Lin, Li, Li, Bo, Wang, Danming, Li, Dechun

Hypoxia-induced mitogenic factor (HIMF), also known as FIZZ1 (found in inflammatory zone 1), is an important player in lung inflammation. However, the effects of HIMF on cell adhesion molecules...

Transient Loss Performance of a Class of Finite Buffer Queueing Systems

Guang-liang Li, Bo Li, Jun-hong Cui

Performance-oriented studies typically rely on the assumption that the stochastic process modeling the phenomenon of interest is already in steady state. This assumption is, however, not valid if the...

Microproteinuria for detecting calcineurin inhibitor-related nephrotoxicity after liver transplantation

Li, Jing, Liu, Bin, Yan, Lu-Nan, Wang, Lan-Lan, Lau, Wan Y, Li, Bo, ...

AIM: To investigate whether microproteinuria could be used as an early and sensitive indicator to detect calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-related nephrotoxicity after liver transplantation.

Rcan1 negatively regulates FcεRI-mediated signaling and mast cell function

Yang, Yong Jun, Chen, Wei, Edgar, Alexander, Li, Bo, Molkentin, Jeffery D., Berman, Jason N., ...

Aggregation of the high affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) activates a cascade of signaling events leading to mast cell activation. Subsequently, inhibitory signals are engaged for turning off activating...

Shrinkage tuning parameter selection with a diverging number of parameters

Hansheng Wang, Bo Li, Chenlei Leng

Contemporary statistical research frequently deals with problems involving a diverging number of parameters. For those problems, various shrinkage methods (e.g. the lasso and smoothly clipped...

Asymptotically Distribution-Free Goodness-of-Fit Testing: A Unifying View

Bo Li

We outline a general paradigm for constructing asymptotically distribution-free (ADF) goodness-of-fit tests, which can be regarded as a generalization of Khmaladze (1993). This is achieved by a...

CEUS: A new imaging approach for postoperative vascular complications after right-lobe LDLT

Luo, Yan, Fan, Yu-Ting, Lu, Qiang, Li, Bo, Wen, Tian-Fu, Zhang, Zhong-Wei

AIM: To investigate contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for early diagnosis of postoperative vascular complications after right-lobe living donor liver transplantation (RLDLT).
