- Resonant photoemission involving dissociative core excited states has been the subject of a great number of experimental and theoretical investigations in recent time. The resonant decay of such dissociating systems has been shown to lead to semiatomic Auger electron emission spectra, with particular angular behavior. In the present paper a detailed theoretical analysis of dissociative resonant photoemission spectra of homonuclear diatomic molecules is presented. The theory addresses both fixed in space and randomly oriented homonuclear molecules and emphasizes the Doppler effect and the role of the interference between channels referring to the Doppler split atomic fragments. It is shown that peaks originating from decay in the atomic fragments can be asymmetric and structured due to the Doppler interference effect. The predicted strong non-Lorentzian behavior of the substructure on the top of the Doppler broadened atomiclike contribution is traced to the interplay between decay channels leading to gerade and ungerade final states. Simulations based on wave-packet theory are compared with experimental data for molecular oxygen. Our numerical simulations of the atomiclike resonance of fixed in space molecules show that the spectral profile is very sensitive to the shape of interatomic potentials of core excited and final states. It is shown that the Doppler effect in the decay spectra depends upon the symmetry of the core excited state.

- An interference quenching of the m=1 final state vibrational line in the resonant Auger decay of N 1s-->pi(*) core-excited N-2 is observed and analyzed. The intensity ratio between the m=1 and m=0 vibrational levels of the X (2)Sigma(g)(+) final state shows a surprising nonmonotonic variation as a function of frequency detuning, going through a minimum with a complete suppression of m=1. We have developed a simple model which indicates a linear relation between the value of the detuning frequency for this minimum and the equilibrium bond distance of the core-excited state. This implies the possibility of determining the equilibrium bond distances for core-excited states to a high degree of accuracy. Simultaneously with the simple model we present a strict theory of the studied effect. This strict theory allows us to explore the accuracy of determining the bond length of the core-excited state from resonant Auger spectra. We obtain a weak influence of the core-hole lifetime on the determined bond length, whereas the number of intermediate vibrational states accounted for in the numerical simulations seems to be quite important.

- An interference quenching of the nu=1 vibrational line in the resonant Auger decay of N 1s-->pi(*) core-excited N-2 is observed and analyzed. The intensity ratio between the nu=1 and nu=0 vibrational levels of the X(2)Sigma(g)(+) final state shows a surprising nonmonotonous variation as a function of frequency detuning, going through a minimum with a complete suppression of nu=1. We have developed a simple model which shows a linear relation between the value of the detuning frequency for this minimum and the equilibrium bond distance R-c(0) of the core-excited state. A new way is thus established of determining the equilibrium bond distance for the core-excited state with a precision deltaR(c)(0)<10(-3) Angstrom.

- Fragmentation of the SF6 molecule upon F 1s excitation has been studied by resonant photoemission. The F atomiclike Auger line exhibits the characteristic Doppler profile that depends on the direction of the photoelectron momentum relative to the polarization vector of the radiation as well as on the photon energy. The measured Doppler profiles are analyzed by the model simulation that takes account of the anisotropy of the Auger emission in the molecular frame. The Auger anisotropy extracted from the data decreases with an increase in the F-SF5 internuclear distance.

- The human endometrium is a highly dynamic tissue. Increasing evidence has shown that microRNAs (miRs) play essential roles in human endometrium development. Our previous assay, based on small RNA-sequencing (sRNA-seq) indicated the complexity and dynamics of numerous sequence variants of miRs (isomiRs) that can act together to control genes of functional relevance to the receptive endometrium (RE). Here, we used a greater average depth of sRNA-seq to detect poorly expressed small RNAs. The sequencing data confirmed the up-regulation of miR-449c and uncovered other members of the miR-449 family up-regulated in RE—among them miR-449a, as well as several isoforms of both miR-449a and miR-449c, while the third family member, miR-449b, was not identified. Stem-looped RT-qPCR analysis of miR expression at four-time points of the endometrial cycle verified the increased expression of the miR-449a/c family members in RE, among which the 5′ isoform of miR-449c–miR-449c.1 was the most strongly up-regulated. Moreover, we found in a case study that the expression of miR-449c.1 and its precursor correlated with the histological assessment of the endometrial phase and patient age. We believe this study will promote the clinical investigation and application of the miR-449 family in the diagnosis and prognosis of human reproductive diseases.

- Embryo implantation depends on endometrial receptivity (ER). To achieve ER, the preparation of the uterine lining requires controlled priming by ovarian hormones and the expression of numerous genes in the endometrial tissue. microRNAs (miRs) have emerged as critical genetic regulators of ER in fertility and of the diseases that are associated with infertility. With the rapid development of next-generation sequencing technologies, it has become clear that miR genes can produce canonical miRs and variants—isomiRs. Here, we describe miR/isomiR expression dynamics across the four time points of natural chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-administered cycles. Sequencing of the small RNAs (sRNA-seq) revealed that the most significant expression changes during the transition from the pre-receptive to the receptive phase occurred in the isomiR families of miR-125a, miR-125b, miR-10a, miR-10b, miR-449c, miR-92a, miR-92b, and miR-99a. Pairing the analysis of the differentially expressed (DE) miRs/isomiRs and their predicted DE mRNA targets uncovered 280 negatively correlating pairs. In the receptive endometrium, the 5′3′-isomiRs of miR-449c, which were among the most highly up-regulated isomiRs, showed a negative correlation with their target, transcription factor (TF) MYCN, which was down-regulated. Joint analysis of the miR/isomiR and TF expression identified several regulatory interactions. Based on these data, a regulatory TF-miR/isomiR gene-target circuit including let7g-5p and miR-345; the isomiR families of miR-10a, miR-10b, miR-92a, and miR-449c; and MYCN and TWIST1 was proposed to play a key role in the establishment of ER. Our work uncovers the complexity and dynamics of the endometrial isomiRs that can act cooperatively with miRs to control the functionally important genes that are critical to ER. Further studies of miR/isomiR expression patterns that are paired with those of their target mRNAs may provide a more in-depth picture of the endometrial pathologies that are associated with implantation failure.
