Classification of diseases based on genetic information is of great significance as the basis for precision medicine, increasing the understanding of disease etiology and revolutionizing personalized medicine. Much effort has been directed at understanding disease associations by constructing disease networks, and classifying patient samples according to gene expression data. Integrating human gene networks overcomes limited coverage of genes. Incorporating pathway information into disease classification procedure addresses the challenge of cellular heterogeneity across patients. In this work, we propose a disease classification model LAMP, which concentrates on the layered assessment on modules and pathways. Directed human gene interactions are the foundation of constructing the human gene network, where the significant roles of disease and pathway genes are recognized. The fast unfolding algorithm identifies 11 modules in the largest connected component. Then layered networks are introduced to distinguiing data from BioGRID and KEGG, we develop a disease classification model LAMP, to support people to view diseases from the perspective of commonalities in etiology and pathology. Comprehensive research on existing diseases can help meet the challenges of unknown diseases. The results provide suggestions for combination diagnosis and gene-targeted therapy, which motivates clinicians and researchers to reposition the understanding of diseases and explore diagnosis and therapy strategies. As one of the most common post-transcriptional modifications (PTCM) in RNA, 5-cytosine-methylation plays important roles in many biological functions such as RNA metabolism and cell fate decision. Through accurate identification of 5-methylcytosine (m5C) sites on RNA, researchers can better understand the exact role of 5-cytosine-methylation in these biological functions. In recent years, computational methods of predicting m5C sites have attracted lots of interests because of its efficiency and low-cost. However, both the accuracy and efficiency of these methods are not satisfactory yet and need further improvement. In this work, we have developed a new computational method, m5CPred-SVM, to identify m5C sites in three species, H. G Protein agonist sapiens, M. musculus and A. thaliana. To build this model, we first collected benchmark datasets following three recently published methods. Then, six types of sequence-based features were generated based on RNA segments and the sequential forward feature selection strategy was es of three different species. The result shows that our model outperformed the existing state-of-art models. Our model is available for users through a web server at https//zhulab.ahu.edu.cn/m5CPred-SVM . Local anesthetic Bupivacaine commonly used in gastric cancer resection operation has been reported to suppress the progression of gastric cancer. However, the specific mechanism by which Bupivacaine functions is largely unexplored. The viability and metastasis of gastric cancer cells were assessed by Cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay and transwell migration and invasion assays. The apoptosis was evaluated by caspase-3 activity detection assay and flow cytometry. The glycolysis was analyzed through detecting the extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) via Seahorse XF 96 Extracellular Flux Analyzer and the expression of glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT1) and lactic dehydrogenase A (LDHA) via Western blot assay. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was applied to detect the expression of circular RNA 0000376 (circ_0000376) and microRNA-145-5p (miR-145-5p). The interaction between circ_0000376 and miR-145-5p was predicted using Circular RNA Interactome database and validated by
