Enhanced cardiomyocyte structural and functional anisotropy through synergetic combination of topographical, conductive, and mechanical stimulation.

Drug-induced cardiotoxicity, a significant concern in the pharmaceutical industry, often results in the withdrawal of drugs from the market. The main cause of drug-induced cardiotoxicity is the use of immature cardiomyocytes during drug screening procedures. Over time, several methods such as topographical, conductive, and mechanical stimulation have been proposed to enhance both maturation and contractile properties of these cardiomyocytes.

Risk factors of head and neck cancer mortality compared with those of all-cause and all-cancer mortalities.

This study aimed to clarify the risk factors of head and neck cancer (HNC) mortality, relative to those of all-cause and all-cancer mortalities, using the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort (NHIS-HEALS) data set. Data from 238 HNC deaths, 14,769 all-cancer deaths, and 38,086 all-cause deaths were extracted during a median follow-up period of 9.5 years.

The Development of the Brooding Scale.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop a Brooding Scale (BS) and to confirm its psychometric properties.

Methods: A preliminary questionnaire was developed based on a literature review and face-to-face interviews with healthy subjects. To evaluate reliability and construct validity, a 15-item BS was administered to 124 healthy subjects.

Rat model of staphylococcal enterotoxin B-induced rhinosinusitis.

Objectives: It has been proposed that microbial persistence, superantigen (SA) production, and host T-cell response may be involved in the development of chronic rhinosinusitis. According to the SA hypothesis, a single intranasal application of SA such as staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) may induce chronic eosinophilic rhinosinusitis. This study aimed to develop a rat model of rhinosinusitis induced by intranasally applied SEB.

Overexpression of DRG2 suppresses the growth of Jurkat T cells but does not induce apoptosis.

Developmentally regulated GTP-binding protein (DRG) is a new subfamily within the superfamily of GTP-binding proteins. Its expression is regulated during embryonic development. To investigate the effect of the expression of DRG2 on cell growth, we constructed a human Jurkat-T-cell line that overexpresses DRG2.
