Comprehensive circular RNA profiling reveals the regulatory role of circRNA_0007694 in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Purpose: The present study aimed to identify differentially expressed circRNAs in thyroid cancer and verify their potential functions.

Methods: Next-generation sequencing was used to identify differentially expressed circRNAs between papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) tissues and paired pericarcinomatous tissues. Polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing methods successfully identified hsa_circ_0007694.

Expression of chemokine receptor-4 in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on experimental rat abdominal aortic aneurysms and the migration of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with stromal-derived factor-1.

This study investigated the expression and role of chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4) in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) from experimental rats with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) for migration of BMSCs. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into an experimental group and control group (n = 18 each). AAA was induced with 0.

High ALDH1A1 expression correlates with poor survival in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Background: High expression of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1) has been confirmed in many tumors. This enzyme plays an important role in tumor proliferation, metastasis, and drug resistance. However, in the case of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), the relationship between ALDH1 expression and prognosis remains unknown.

3H-leucine single-injection method for determining endogenous amino acid losses of broilers.

Objective: A 3H-leucine (3H-Leu) single-injection method was proposed for determining the endogenous amino acid losses of broilers. This method was based on the hypothesis that the ratio of the specific radioactivity (SR) of endogenous Leu in excreta (SRe) to that of free Leu in trichloroacetic acid-soluble plasma (SRp) remains constant after a single subcutaneous injection of 3H-Leu into birds fed different diets.

Methods: Two experiments were designed to clarify this hypothesis.
