LINC01224 promotes the Warburg effect in gastric cancer by activating the miR-486-5p/PI3K axis.

The Warburg effect, a common feature of solid tumors, rewires the metabolism and promotes growth, survival, proliferation, and long-term maintenance in gastric cancer (GC). We performed in vitro and in vivo studies of the pathogenesis of GC to investigate the effects and mechanism of LINC01224 in this cancer. qRT-PCR was used to measure the expression of LINC01224 or miR-486-5p in GC cells, and the expression of LINC01224 in GC tissues by FISH (Fluorescence in situ hybridization) analysis was evaluated.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and immunosuppressive therapy: implications of clonal haematopoiesis.

Aplastic anemia (AA) is a life-threatening bone marrow failure syndrome. The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has shed light on the link between somatic mutations (SM) and the efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy (IST) in AA patients. However, the relationship between SM and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has not been extensively explored.

AI-Assisted Compressed Sensing Enables Faster Brain MRI for the Elderly: Image Quality and Diagnostic Equivalence with Conventional Imaging.

Purpose: Conventional brain MRI protocols are time-consuming, which can lead to patient discomfort and inefficiency in clinical settings. This study aims to assess the feasibility of using artificial intelligence-assisted compressed sensing (ACS) to reduce brain MRI scan time while maintaining image quality and diagnostic accuracy compared to a conventional imaging protocol.

Patients And Methods: Seventy patients from the department of neurology underwent brain MRI scans using both conventional and ACS protocols, including axial and sagittal T2-weighted fast spin-echo sequences and T2-fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequence.

Keep bright in the dark: Multimodal emotional effects on donation-based crowdfunding performance and their empathic mechanisms.

How to raise donations effectively, especially in the E-era, has puzzled fundraisers and scientists across various disciplines. Our research focuses on donation-based crowdfunding projects and investigates how the emotional valence expressed verbally (in textual descriptions) and visually (in facial images) in project descriptions affects project performance. Study 1 uses field data (N = 3817), grabs project information and descriptions from a top donation-based crowdfunding platform, computes visual and verbal emotional valence using a deep-learning-based affective computing method and analyses how multimodal emotional valence influences donation outcomes.

Aberrant Cytoplasmic INSM1 Expression in Erythroid Cells: A Potential Diagnostic Pitfall Versus Neuroendocrine Neoplasms.

Insulinoma-associated protein 1 (INSM1) is a relatively new immunostain used in the diagnostic assessment of tumors with neuroendocrine differentiation. While INSM1 positivity has been described in some non-neuroendocrine neoplasms, reactivity in red blood cells (RBCs) has only been anecdotally noted in one prior study without description of the degree/extent of staining. INSM1 staining in nucleated erythroid precursors has not been previously reported.
