Abstract This review aimed to describe the inculpation of microRNAs (miRNAs) in thyroid cancer (TC) and its subtypes, mainly medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), and to outline web-based tools and databases for bioinformatics analysis of miRNAs in TC. Additionally, the capacity of miRNAs to serve as therapeutic targets and biomarkers in TC management will be discussed. This review is based on a literature search of relevant articles on the role of miRNAs in TC and its subtypes, mainly MTC. Additionally, web-based tools and databases for bioinformatics analysis of miRNAs in TC were identified and described. MiRNAs can… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Traffic characterization (e.g., chat, video) and application identification (e.g., FTP, Facebook) are two of the more crucial jobs in encrypted network traffic classification. These two activities are typically carried out separately by existing systems using separate models, significantly adding to the difficulty of network administration. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Transformer are deep learning-based approaches for network traffic classification. CNN is good at extracting local features while ignoring long-distance information from the network traffic sequence, and Transformer can capture long-distance feature dependencies while ignoring local details. Based on these characteristics, a multi-task learning model that… More >

Abstract In the digital era, the Narrowband Internet of Things (Nb-IoT) influences the massive Machine-Type-Communication (mMTC) features to establish secure routing among the 5G/6G mobile networks. It supports global coverage to the low-cost IoT devices distributed in terrestrial networks. Its key traffic characteristics include robust uplink, moderate data rate/device, extremely high energy efficiency, prolonging device lifetime, and Quality of Service (QoS). This paper proposes a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) combined software-defined air interface algorithm applied on the switching system, satisfying the user requirement and enabling them with the network resources to extend quality of service by More >

Abstract Mission critical Machine-type Communication (mcMTC), also referred to as Ultra-reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC), has become a research hotspot. It is primarily characterized by communication that provides ultra-high reliability and very low latency to concurrently transmit short commands to a massive number of connected devices. While the reduction in physical (PHY) layer overhead and improvement in channel coding techniques are pivotal in reducing latency and improving reliability, the current wireless standards dedicated to support mcMTC rely heavily on adopting the bottom layers of general-purpose wireless standards and customizing only the upper layers. The mcMTC has… More >

Abstract Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a neuroendocrine cancer derived from parafollicular C cells in the thyroid gland. It has great interest as a research focus because of its unusual genetic, clinical, and prognostic characteristics. However, the pathogenesis in MTC is not completely clear. We investigated the role of miR- 9-3p and bladder cancer-associated protein (BLCAP) in MTC TT cells. First, miR-9-3p expression was upregulated in human MTC tissues and TT cells and compared to the control by RT-PCR. Flow cytometric analysis indicated that the cell cycle progression in TT cells was significantly inhibited by the… More >

Abstract Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is an uncommon and highly aggressive tumor of the neuroendocrine system, which derives from the neuroendocrine C cells of the thyroid gland. Except for surgical resection, there are not very many effective systemic treatment options for MTC. N-Myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) had a significantly lower expression in MTC compared with normal thyroid tissue. However, the function of NDRG2 in MTC oncogenesis is largely unknown. In this study, we found that overexpression of NDRG2 inhibited the proliferation of TT cells (human medullary thyroid carcinoma cells) in vitro and suppressed the development of MTC… More >
