Patients diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma (STS) often present at intermediate to advanced stages, with inherently limited therapeutic options available. There is an urgent need to identify novel therapeutic targets. In this study, by screening STS data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases, KIFC1 is identified as a potential biomarker and a promising therapeutic target for STS.

Currently, there is no available prophylactic vaccine against EBV. gB is the EBV fusion protein that mediates viral membrane fusion and participates in host recognition, making it critical for EBV infection in both B cells and epithelial cells.

Experimental Design: Here, we performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) and mRNA sequencing (mRNA-seq) on patients with RIS and primary sarcomas (WES samples 46 vs.
Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) is a common side-effect of antibiotic treatment resulting from an imbalance in the colonic bacteria. The hypothesis of this study is to ask whether polysaccharide from the rhizome of Dioscorea opposita which is recorded as conventional herbs and food for diarrhea treatment in Southeast Asia, may be an active compound against diarrhea induced by antibiotics. To address, firstly, a homogenous polysaccharide, DOP0.

Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of UPE on the clinical outcomes of patients with STS of the trunk and extremity.
Materials And Methods: Patients with STS of the trunk and extremity who underwent R0 resection between 1998 and 2016 were included and divided into the UPE and planned excision (PE) groups.

Simulated water samples of 3 kinds of preservatives and 4 kinds of sweeteners were formulated by using orthogonal design. Kernel independent component analysis (KICA) was used to process the UV spectra of the simulated water samples and the beverages added different amounts of the additive standards, then the independent components (ICs), i. e.

The Huai radix rehmanniae at different grades was pretreated by wet digestion, and then the metal elements in the radix rehmanniae and the prepared sample by steaming method were determined using ICP-MS. The results indicate that there is no obvious difference in the metal elements between the different grades and between the dried radix rehmanniae and its corresponding prepared product. There are elements Zn, Cu, Cr, Fe, Mn, Sn, Ni, Mo, Go, etc.

The results showed that the joint inhibiton of 11 different kinds of mixtures, including binary or multi-equitoxic mixtures among benzene, aniline, phenol and nitrobenzene, exhibited different effects on ammonia-oxidizing activity of sediment, among which seven were addictive effect, three were synergistic, and only the mixture of benzene and phenol was antagonism. A conclusion could be made that the addition of nitrobenze to a mixture usually exhibited addictive effect.

The effects of the kind, number and position of substituted groups on ammonia-oxidizing activity of nitrifying bacteria were discussed. The inhibition of mono-substituted benzenes on ammonia-oxidizing activity of nitrifying bacteria were in order of -OH > -NO2 > -NH2 > -Cl > -CH3 > -H.
