Introduction: The present study aimed to assess alterations in apoptosis rate, Golgi morphology and GOLPH3 expression following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) both before and after intervention with OM-MSCs. The objective was to investigate the impact of ICH on Golgi apparatus (GA) stress and to explore the potential protective effects of OM-MSCs on GA following ICH.

Material And Methods: A total of 54 Sprague-Dawley rats were allocated into three experimental groups: sham operation group, ICH group and OM-MSCs group.

Although the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway plays an evolutionarily conserved role from Drosophila to mammals, some divergences also exist. Loss of Sufu, an important component of the Hh pathway, does not lead to an obvious developmental defect in Drosophila. However, in mammals, loss of SUFU results in serious disorder, even various cancers.

Tumor metastasis is the most cause of high mortality for cancer patients. Identification of novel factors that modulate tumor cell migration is of great significance for therapeutic strategies. Here, we find that the ubiquitin-specific protease 8 (Usp8) promotes tumor cell migration through activating the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway.

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is the most common form of acute leukaemia in adults, with increasing incidence with age and a generally poor prognosis. Almost 20% of AML patients express mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (mIDH2), which leads to the accumulation of the carcinogenic metabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), resulting in poor prognosis. Thus, global institutions have been working to develop mIDH2 inhibitors.

Background: Best evidence regarding enteral nutrition from continuous nasal feeding in stroke patients is limited. The aim of this study was to explore the best evidence of continuous nasal feeding in stroke patients and translate the evidence into clinical practice.

Methods: This study utilized the standard procedures of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) evidence-based nursing centers' clinical evidence-practice application system.

Studies have shown that metallothionein 1 M (MT1M) is a tumor suppressor gene which is frequently down-regulated in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The methylation of MT1M promoter region is one of the important transcriptional regulation mechanisms that contribute to the loss of its expression. In our study, we found that there are still half of the 55 HCC tumor tissues in our cohort do not share the promoter methylation of MT1M.
