Altered carnitine transporter genes (, , ) expression pattern among lung cancer patients.

Background: Despite the decrease of morbidity rate of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in recent years, it is still a cancer with poor prognosis. Lung cancers (LCs) are usually diagnosed at a late stage of the disease due to non-specific clinical symptoms. Proper regulation of carnitine levels is important in the context of development and increased risk of cancer cells proliferation.

Bioinformatic Analysis of Complex Genes Expression in Selected Gastrointestinal Cancers.

Gastrointestinal cancers account for over a quarter of all cancer cases and are associated with poor prognosis and high mortality rates. The IKK complex (the canonical I kappa B kinase), comprising the , , and genes, plays a crucial role in activating the NF-kB signaling pathway. This study aimed to analyze publicly available bioinformatics data to elucidate the oncogenic role of genes in selected gastrointestinal cancers.

Clinical Significance of IgG4 Serum Concentration in Graves' Disease.

Elevated immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) serum antibodies are an important feature of IgG4-related disease. However, IgG4 antibodies can play a role in autoimmune thyroid disorders. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of serum IgG4 levels on clinical features of Graves' disease (GD).

Extended X-ray absorption fine structure of dynamically-compressed copper up to 1 terapascal.

Large laser facilities have recently enabled material characterization at the pressures of Earth and Super-Earth cores. However, the temperature of the compressed materials has been largely unknown, or solely relied on models and simulations, due to lack of diagnostics under these challenging conditions. Here, we report on temperature, density, pressure, and local structure of copper determined from extended x-ray absorption fine structure and velocimetry up to 1 Terapascal.
