FUS and METTL3 collaborate to regulate RNA maturation, preventing unfolded protein response and promoting gastric cancer progression.

FUS-mediated alternative splicing and METTL3-regulated RNA methylation play crucial roles in RNA processing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the interactive roles of FUS and METTL3 in gastric cancer (GC) progression. RNA sequencing data were obtained from the TCGA-STAD dataset.

LRMAHpan: a novel tool for multi-allelic HLA presentation prediction using Resnet-based and LSTM-based neural networks.

Introduction: The identification of peptides eluted from HLA complexes by mass spectrometry (MS) can provide critical data for deep learning models of antigen presentation prediction and promote neoantigen vaccine design. A major challenge remains in determining which HLA allele eluted peptides correspond to.

Methods: To address this, we present a tool for prediction of multiple allele (MA) presentation called LRMAHpan, which integrates LSTM network and ResNet_CA network for antigen processing and presentation prediction.

MYBBP1A‑mediated IGFBP4 promoter methylation promotes epithelial‑mesenchymal transition and metastasis through activation of NOTCH pathway in liver cancer.

Metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) seriously threatens patients' prognosis. It was previously suggested that the insulin growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) family could serve as cancer suppressors in the development and metastasis of HCC. However, the role of IGFBP4 and its underlying molecular mechanism in HCC metastasis is elusive.

Definite Treatment Delay With Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Longitudinal Monitoring by Circulating Tumor DNA for Advanced Cervical Cancer During Pregnancy: A Case Series and Literature Review.

Background: Previous studies mainly concentrate on neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) for delivery delay in FIGO Stage IB1-IIIB cervical cancer during pregnancy to prevent early preterm delivery while not affecting maternal outcome.

Case: Here, we described two pregnant patients with FIGO Stage IIIC cervical cancer about their diagnosis, treatment, and outcome. Both patients underwent cesarean delivery, left enlarged lymph node dissection, and longitudinal monitoring by circulating tumor DNA.

Associations of ambient air pollution and daily outpatient visits for pediatric atopic dermatitis in Shanghai, China.

Limited evidence was available on ambient air pollution and pediatric atopic dermatitis (AD). The study aimed to evaluate the associations between short-term exposure to air pollutants and outpatient visits for pediatric AD. From 2016-2018, we collected data on six criteria air pollutants (PM, PM, NO, SO, CO and O) and daily outpatient visits for pediatric AD in 66 hospitals, covering all districts in Shanghai, China.

JAK/STAT signaling pathway is involved in antibacterial immunity in the green peach aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer).

The Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway within the innate immune system plays a crucial role in defending insects against bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens. In this study, we identified and cloned five key genes of this signaling pathway in Myzus persicae: MpDome-1, MpDome-2, MpJak, MpStat92E-1, and MpStat92E-2. Our results illustrated that these genes were highly expressed in first, second and third-instar nymphs.

Downregulation of the Gene Improves Cotton Fiber Fineness by Decreasing Acyl Pool Saturation, Stimulating Small Heat Shock Proteins (sHSPs), and Reducing HO Production.

Cotton fiber is one of the most important natural fiber sources in the world, and lipid metabolism plays a critical role in its development. However, the specific role of lipid molecules in fiber development and the impact of fatty acid alterations on fiber quality remain largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that the downregulation of , a gene encoding phosphatidylcholine diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase (PDCT), results in an improvement of fiber fineness.

Anlotinib treatment for rapidly progressing pediatric embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in the maxillary gingiva: a case report.

Background: Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) is a highly aggressive form of soft-tissue sarcoma that predominantly affects children. Due to limited benefits and resistance to therapy, there is an unmet need to explore alternative therapeutic strategies.

Case Presentation: In this report, we present a rare case of pediatric ERMS located on the right side of the maxillary gingiva.

Distraction Osteotomy Combined With Orthodontics: An Effective Way to Decrease Short-term Recurrence in Treating Child Craniofacial Microsomia.

Background: This study aims to investigate strategies for reducing early relapse following mandibular distraction osteotomy (MDO) in craniofacial microsomia (CFM) patients.

Methods: Forty CFM patients were divided into 2 groups: 20 underwent MDO alone, while 20 received MDO combined with orthodontic treatment (MDO-O). Preoperative, prefixation, and postfixation CT data in DICOM format were collected and reconstructed using Proplan software.

Identification and functional characterization of the chitinase and chitinase-like gene family in Myzus persicae (Sulzer) during molting.

Background: The crucial role of insect chitinase in molting, pupation, and emergence renders it a promising target for pest control strategies. Despite the extensive investigation of chitinase genes in various pests, there is still a lack of systematic identification and functional analysis related to aphid chitinase.

Results: We systematically identified a total of nine chitinase/chitinase-like genes and one ENGase gene, which included eight Cht genes, one IDGF gene, and one ENGase gene.

A skeletal Class III young adult with severe maxillary transverse deficiency treated with maxillary skeletal expander.

This case report describes correction of maxillary constriction using a maxillary skeletal expander (MSE) in a 15-year-old female with a skeletal Class III pattern and asymmetry. The maxillary expansion device with four mini-implants was used to correct the constricted maxilla, bilateral crossbite of the posterior teeth, and crowding of the dentition. Comparison of cone-beam computed tomography scans before and after treatment showed that the majority of maxillary expansion was orthopedic, with minimal alveolar bone bending and tooth tipping.

Analysis of Risk Factors for Secondary Endometrial Cancer-Related Death: A SEER-Based Study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the survival of patients with endometrial cancer diagnosed after a prior cancer and identify risk factors of endometrial cancer death in this population.

Methods: Totally 1371 women diagnosed with second primary endometrial cancer (SPEC) between 2004 and 2015 were identified using the SEER database. Clinicopathological characteristics were collected, and Fine and Gray regression model was employed to assess the impact of treatment for the first primary cancer (FPC) and SPEC on the mortality of endometrial cancer patients.

Association between glucose-lowering drugs and circulating insulin antibodies induced by insulin therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Background: Insulin antibodies (IAs) affect blood glucose control in patients receiving insulin therapy.

Aim: To investigate the relationship between different hypoglycemic treatments and IAs in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: This cross-sectional, retrospective study included 1863 patients with T2DM who were receiving exogenous insulin therapy.

Less confidence, less forgetting: Learning with a humbler teacher in exemplar-free Class-Incremental learning.

Class-Incremental learning (CIL) is challenging due to catastrophic forgetting (CF), which escalates in exemplar-free scenarios. To mitigate CF, Knowledge Distillation (KD), which leverages old models as teacher models, has been widely employed in CIL. However, based on a case study, our investigation reveals that the teacher model exhibits over-confidence in unseen new samples.

VISTA: A promising target for overcoming immune evasion in gynecologic cancers.

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy has revolutionized cancer treatment but has shown limited efficacy in gynecologic cancers. VISTA (V-domain Ig suppressor of T-cell activation), a member of the B7 family, is emerging as another checkpoint that regulates the anti-tumor immune responses within the tumor microenvironment. This paper reviews the structure, expression, and mechanism of action of VISTA.
