It was identified that miR‑369 was expressed at a relatively high level in the CAFs‑EVs. Neurofibromin‑1 (NF1) was hypothesized as a direct target of miR‑369 in LUSC. Also, the overexpression of miR‑369 activated the mitogen‑activated protein kinase signaling pathway by interacting with NF1, consequently potentiating LUSC cell growth. The present…Read more

Challenges in achieving valid risk prediction and stratification impede treatment decisions and clinical research design for patients with glomerular diseases. This study evaluated whether chronic histologic changes, when complementing other clinical data, improved the prediction of disease outcomes across a diverse group of glomerular…Read more

Notably, MRD-negative older NMA-transplanted AML patients had a beneficial OS of 49% after 5 years. Since a higher HCT-CI did not impair outcomes, age or comorbidities per se should not impede NMA-HSCT, presenting a feasible consolidation option for this group of AML patients.Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) provides…Read more

2%; precision 97.1%; AUC 0.958). For MS prognosis, our model with a 3-year follow up to predict disability progression 8 years later was the best predictive model. DT performed best for fast macular thickness protocol (accuracy 91.3%; sensitivity 90.0%; specificity 92.5%; precision 92.3%; AUC 0.913) and SVM for fast RNFL-N thickness protocol…Read more

Deterioration of inhibitory synapse may be an essential neurological basis underlying abnormal social behaviours. Manipulations that regulate GABAergic transmission are associated with improved behavioural phenotypes in sociability. The synaptic protein, Ephrin-B2 (EB2), plays an important role in the maintenance and reconfiguration of inhibitory…Read more

200, p=0.019) and between the COVID-19 questionnaire total score and body mass index (r=0.282, p=0.001).These results suggest that the decline in the physical and mental function might not have been evident in older adults in Akita Prefecture, where the number of infected people is small, although a more detailed long-term follow-up is needed.…Read more

Uncultivated members of Candidatus Patescibacteria are commonly found in activated sludge treating sewage and are widely distributed in wastewater treatment plants in different regions and countries. However, the phylogenetic diversity of Ca. Patescibacteria is difficult to examine because of their low relative abundance in the environment. Since…Read more

We detected an association between MM risk and ADH1B rs1229984 (OR = 3.78; 95% CI, 1.18-12.13; p = 0.0282), PPARD rs6937483 (OR = 3.27; 95% CI, 1.01-10.56; p = 0.0479), SLC28A1 rs8187737 (OR = 11.33; 95% CI, 1.43-89.59; p = 0.005), SLC28A2 rs1060896 (OR = 6.58; 95% CI, 1.42-30.43; p = 0.0072), SLC29A1 rs8187630 (OR = 3.27; 95% CI, 1.01-10.56; p =…Read more

Background Kidney fibrosis is a hallmark consequence of all forms of chronic kidney disease with few available treatment modalities. Material and Methods In this study, we performed the unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) procedure to investigate the effects of a selective cannabinoid type 2 (CB2) agonist receptor, SMM-295, as a nephroprotective…Read more

Advances in genomics generated the concept that a better understanding of individual characteristics, e.g. genotype, will lead to improved tailoring of pharmaceutical and nutritional therapies. Subsequent developments in proteomics and metabolomics, in addition to wearable technologies for tracking parameters, such as dietary intakes, physical…Read more
