Purpose: Clarification of cisplatin resistance may provide new targets for therapy in cisplatin resistant ovarian cancer. The current study aims to explore involvement of isoforms of AU-rich element RNA-binding protein 1 (AUF1) in cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer.
Methods: The cancer stem cell-like features were analyzed using colony formation assay, tumor sphere formation assay and nude mouse xenograft experiments.
Despite extensive global attention on microplastic pollution, our understanding of the pathways underlying microplastic translocation, accumulation, and their potential impacts on ecosystems and human health through the food chain remains incomplete. To investigate the translocation and accumulation of microplastics from insects to mammals, we developed a novel oral exposure model that Tenebrio molitor larvae (yellow mealworms, invertebrate terrestrial insects) were firstly orally exposed to both micro and nanometer-sized plastics (M/NPs), and subsequently fed as a food source to mice (mammals). Our results provide clear evidence that micro/nanoplastics (M/NPs) do indeed translocate through the food chain, from lower to higher trophic levels.

While Intrahospital Transport Safety Scale (IHTSS) is widely used internationally to evaluate the intrahospital transport safety, it has not been introduced in China.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the IHTSS scale among critical care nurses in China.
Purpose: Glucose not only provides energy for tumor cells, but also provides various biomolecules that are essential for their survival, proliferation and invasion. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to understand the mechanism of how tumor cells adapt to metabolic stress and maintain their survival. The aim of this research was to study the critical role of OGT and TRIM29 O-GlcNAc modification driven adaptability of PDAC cells to low glucose stress, which might have important medical implications for PDAC therapy.

Background: Social responsibility can motivate disaster relief nurses to devote themselves to safeguarding rights and interests of people when facing challenges that threaten public health. However, few studies focused on the relationship of moral courage, job-esteem, and social responsibility among disaster relief nurses.
Objective: To explore the influence of moral courage and job-esteem on the social responsibility in disaster relief nurses and clarify the relationship model between them.
Three di-organotin(IV) complexes have been synthesized by the reaction of Schiff base di-acylhydrazone ligands bis(5-chlorosalicylaldehyde) adipoylhydrazone and RSnCl [R = Me (1), Ph (2), n-Bu (3)]. Structures of all complexes were characterized by H, C, Sn NMR, elemental analysis, IR and mass spectrometry. Experimental results showed that the symmetric diacylhydrazone ligands coordinate the tin atom in a hexadentate form, where the tin atom shows a penta-coordination, in a distorted triangular bipyramid geometry.

Zeolite SAPO-34 has been widely used in the industry because of its special pore structure and wide distribution of acid sites in the pore channel. However, traditional SAPO-34 with a small pore size suffers from carbon deposition and deactivation in catalytic reactions, and its inability to catalytically convert bulky organic molecules limits its industrial application. Meanwhile, impurities of SAPO-5, which have weak acidity leading to rapid catalyst deactivation, appear in SAPO-34 zeolite.

The decreased efficiency of autophagic processing in the central nervous system during aging may be a contributing factor in neurodegenerative diseases. BAG3 (Bcl2 associated athanogene 3) is a major member of the BAG family of co-molecular chaperones that mediate selective macroautophagy. Therefore, we analyzed the expression and distribution of BAG3 in the brain at postnatal 0 day (P0), P15, 1-, 2-, 9-, 12-, and 18 month-old C57BL/6 mice, thus covering almost all ages.

Ovarian cancer is the most frequent cause of gynecologic malignancies associated death. Primary or acquired cisplatin resistance is frequently occurred during ovarian cancer therapy. Cancer stem cells (CSC) tend to form minimal residual disease after chemotherapy and are implicated in relapse.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOvarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignant cancer, frequently due to its late diagnosis and high recurrence. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) from different malignancies including ovarian cancer have been linked to chemotherapy resistance and poor prognosis. Therefore, identifying the molecular mechanisms mediating therapy resistance is urgent to finding novel targets for therapy-resistant tumors.

As main components of lignocellulosic biomass, lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose are connected by hydrogen bond to form a compact skeleton structure, resulting the trenchant condition of biomass pyrolysis. Also, pyrolysis products of above three main constituents contain a large amount of oxygenates that cause low heating value, high corrosiveness, high viscosity, and instability.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a population of cells with stem-like characteristics that are thought to cause chemoresistance and recurrence. TRIM29 is aberrantly expressed in various cancers and associated with cancer development and progression.

A series of activated carbons were prepared by carbonizing sugarcane bagasse combined with surface modification, which showed an excellent performance of adsorbing toluene (522 mg g at 30 °C). The results demonstrated that the enhancement of the activated temperature was benefit to promote the porosity and specific surface area (BET) of ACs. Thus, AC-800 showed optimal adsorption and its toluene adsorption performance was better than that of most ACs in the literature.

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), the most common thyroid malignancy, has a strong propensity for neck lymph node metastasis, which will increase the risk of local recurrence and decrease the survival in some high-risk groups. Hence, it is essential to set up a reliable biomarker to predict lymph node metastasis. BAG5 is a unique member of the BAG cochaperone family because it consists of more than one BAG domain, which acts as modulator of chaperone activity.
