The oncoprotein, hepatitis B X-interacting protein (HBXIP), has been reported to play an important role in human malignancies. However, its functions in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are poorly understood. The goal of the present study was to identify the role of HBXIP in the regulation of NSCLC development.

The level of HBXIP…[Read more]

Although great progresses have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), its prognostic marker remains controversial. In this current study, weighted correlation network analysis and Cox regression analysis showed significant prognostic value of five autophagy-related long non-coding RNAs (AR-lncRNAs) (including…[Read more]

001). When mean values were considered collectively, no contralateral or ipsilateral statistical differences were found but all muscles compared differed by more than 10° on average. Close-range photogrammetry and subsequent analyses robustly quantified surface fascicle orientations of the pelvic floor muscles. The continuous, 3D vector fields…[Read more]

solanacearum. This study highlights a new role for cytokinin in root immunity, paving the way for future research that will help in understanding the mechanisms underpinning root defenses.

cted to promote greater recognition of crickets as a source of food, feed, and other benefits in the world and encourage up-scaling by farming them for sustainable utilization.[This corrects the article DOI 10.3389/fmed.2020.00499.].Background and Aims Angiotensin-converting enzyme II (ACE2) is the key molecule for understanding the…[Read more]

The NF fiber density reached to 29 ± 6 per 0.25 mm2 at the middle site, 82 ± 13 per 0.25 mm2 at the adjacent caudal site, and 70 ± 23 at the adjacent rostral site. Similarly, motor axons labeled with 5-hydroxytryptamine were significantly regenerated in the injury gap, which was 122 ± 22 at the middle injury site that was beneficial for motor fun…[Read more]

Microbial exposure is critical to neonatal and infant development, growth and immunity. However, whether a microbiome is present in the fetal gut prior to birth remains debated. In this study, lambs delivered by aseptic hysterectomy at full term were used as an animal model to investigate the presence of a microbiome in the prenatal gut using a…[Read more]

13 to 90.09 μm. The marginal and internal discrepancies of the tested materials were considered clinically acceptable.

To evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of maxillofacial silicone elastomers following the incorporation of a specific particle size and concentration of nano-titanium dioxide (TiO

) and nano-zinc oxide…[Read more]

usiasm toward the exergame.

The findings suggest that the developed exergame helps in improving the functional capacity and adherence to physical exercise among older people, with even better results for those who played with peers. In addition to leading to more appropriate products, a co-design approach may positively influence the…[Read more]

Management of large abdominal wall desmoid tumours is complicated due to the unpredictable behaviour of desmoids and the need for laborious reconstruction of the abdominal wall after wide local excision. A multidisciplinary team approach, including surgeons, oncologists and plastic surgeons, is necessary for proper management. This case highlights…[Read more]
