Human REXO4 is Required for Cell Cycle Progression.

Unlabelled: Human REXO4 is a poorly characterized exonuclease that is overexpressed in human cancers. To better understand the function of REXO4 and its relationship to cellular proliferation, we have undertaken multidisciplinary approaches to characterize its cell cycle phase-dependent subcellular localization and the cis determinants required for this localization, its importance to cell cycle progression and cell viability, its protein-protein association network, and its activity. We show that the localization of REXO4 to the nucleolus in interphase depends on an N-terminal nucleolar localization sequence and that its localization to the perichromosomal layer of mitotic chromosomes is dependent on Ki67.

In vivo Differential Effects of Extractable and Non-Extractable Phenolic Compounds from Grape Pomace on the Regulation of Obesity and Associated Metabolic Alterations.

Grape pomace (GP) is a by-product rich in phytochemicals, including extractable polyphenols (EPPs) and non-extractable polyphenols (NEPPs), which have distinct metabolic fates that may affect their biological activities. The benefits of GP have been reported in relation to obesity and its comorbidities, particularly when administered preventively focusing on EPPs. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of EPPs and NEPPs from GP as a treatment for obesity and its associated metabolic alterations.

Multimodal Inpatient Prehabilitation Prior to Heart or Lung Transplantation in a Latin American Transplant Reference Center.

Introduction: Whether the implementation of a multimodal prehabilitation program is effective and safe for high-risk heart or lung transplantation candidates, whose condition prevents hospital discharge, is unclear.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study at a cardiothoracic transplant center in Chile. Two cohorts of hospitalized patients listed for heart or lung transplant were studied: the first underwent traditional (historical) and nonstructured prehabilitation, and the second underwent protocol-driven multimodal prehabilitation (MP).

The effect of audio distraction in reducing signs of stress and anxiety during pediatric dental treatment: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: To perform a systematic review to investigate if the use of audio distraction reduces signs of stress and anxiety in paediatric patients undergoing dental treatment.

Materials And Methods: Search was made in electronic databases (MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Scielo, BVS, Springer Link, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, and grey literature) until March 11th, 2024. The eligibility criteria were: paediatric patients under dental treatment; use of audio as a distraction method; comparison between groups with and without use of audio distraction; Clinical trials.
