However, current inhibitors lack selectivity, which can lead to unexpected side effects and increase the difficulty of studying DYRK1A. Therefore, identifying selective inhibitors targeting DYRK1A is essential for reducing side effects and facilitating neurological disease research.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFood insecurity is a key determinant of not only caregiver's mental health but also children's emotional problems and hyperactivity symptoms. Although substantial studies have explored such a relationship, it is unclear to us whether this relation would vary when considering that caregiver's mental health and aforementioned children's behavioral issues can be the cause and effect of each other. Addressing this research gap is a key to advancing our understanding of how to promote a healthier family dynamic, especially for those facing material needs.

Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was performed to examine the expression of DUSP1 in UCC.

Moreover, such a White-Black disparity in the impacts of homeownership on mental health could be complexed by poverty status, as maintaining one's homeownership could be a financial burden for people living in poverty status, defined by the US official poverty threshold. We add to the existing literature by analyzing the impacts of homeownership on psychological distress, simultaneously disaggregating by race and poverty status using survey data from the Panel Study on Income Dynamics from the 2017 and 2019 waves (N = 7059).

Methods: UCEC and normal endometrium tissues from in-house and public databases were collected for investigating protein and messenger RNA expression of CCNA2. The transcription factors of CCNA2 were identified by the Cistrome database.
The immune infiltration profiles of the tumor microenvironment have effects on the prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Whereas, HNSCC is a heterogeneous group of tumors, but past work has not taken this into consideration. Herein, we investigate the associations between survival and the function of immune cells in different tumorigenic sites of HNSCC.

While social support, stress, caregiver psychological distress, and drinking could affect parental involvement, it is unknown whether and how these factors influence downstream child learning outcomes through parental involvement and child school readiness. This study tests those associations.

However, the associations between the highly variable genomes of gut bacteria and the effectiveness of ICIs remain unclear, despite the fact that merely a few gene mutations between similar bacterial strains may cause significant phenotypic variations. Here, using datasets from the gut microbiome of 996 patients from seven clinical trials, we systematically identify microbial genomic structural variants (SVs) using SGV-Finder.

In a Hybrid Type 1 trial examining the effectiveness-implementation of a peer-led group life-style balance (PGLB) intervention for people with serious mental illness (SMI) in three supportive housing agencies, we found that PGLB recipients' physical health outcomes differed by study sites. The matrixed multiple case study methodology was used to explore how implementation outcomes and changes in context of usual care (UC) services contributed to these site differences.

While prior studies have observed stronger associations among households with lower income, the role of assets has been ignored. This is unfortunate, as many existing policies and practices that intend to improve child and family well-being are focused on assets.

For policy and intervention implications, the aim of this study was to examine the effects of offering one hard-boiled egg per school day to school-age children in less-developed areas of China.
Methods: This analytical sample included 346 school-age children.
Purpose: Healthy lifestyle interventions can improve the health of people with serious mental illness (SMI). Little is known whether demographic variables moderate the effectiveness of these interventions on health outcomes.
Method: Data from an effectiveness trial of a peer-led healthy lifestyle intervention (PGLB) for people with SMI examine whether age, racial/ethnic minoritized status, and gender moderated the effectiveness of PGLB compared to usual care (UC) in achieving clinically significant improvements in weight, cardiorespiratory fitness, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk reduction.
Aim: The aim of this study is to demonstrate the expression and clinicopathological significance of complement C1q B chain () in cervical cancer.
Methods: In total, 120 cervical cancer tissues, as well as 20 samples each of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSILs), and benign cervical tissue, were collected to evaluate the expression of protein via immunohistochemical staining. We conducted an integrated analysis of mRNA expression in cervical cancer using public microarrays and RNA-seq data sets by calculating standard mean differences (SMDs).
We aimed to explore the abnormal expression of dual-specificity protein phosphatase 1 (DUSP1) and its latent molecular mechanisms in ovarian carcinoma (OVCA). Two clinical cohorts collected from two different hospitals were used to evaluate the expression of DUSP1 protein in OVCA tissues. RNA-sequencing and microarray datasets were utilised to verify DUSP1 expression at mRNA levels in both OVCA tissues and in the peripheral blood of OVCA patients.

We measured the clinicopathological significance of CKS2 using diverse methods of public RNA-seq, microarrays, and in-house tissue microarrays to investigate the molecular basis of CKS2 in endometrial carcinoma through upstream transcriptional analysis, immune infiltration correlation analysis, and co-expression analysis. Both the analysis for public RNA-seq plus the microarray data and in-house tissue microarray confirmed the significant overexpression of CKS2 in a total of 1,021 endometrial carcinoma samples compared with 279 non-cancer endometrium samples (SMD = 2.

Objective: To examine the expression of tight-junction connexin ZO-1 in the stria vascularis tissue of the cochlea by using spontaneous endolymphatic hydrops animal model constructed with gene mutant mice, and to analyze the dynamic changes of the gene mutant mice in pathology, imaging, and hearing function.
Methods: Male Hyp-Duk/Y mice with gene mutation were selected as the experimental group at three time points, 21 days post birth (P21), 90 days post birth (P90) and 120 days post birth (P120), and wild-type male mice of the same ages were selected as the control groups. The cochlear sections were HE-stained in order to observe whether endolymphatic hydrops was present or absent and to assess its severity.
Purpose: The molecular mechanisms and signal pathways of ferroptosis in hepatoblastoma (HB) have not yet been clarified. In previous studies, activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) was reported to be correlated with several tumors, but the clinical significance of ATF3 has never been determined. Herein, we investigated the clinicopathological value and mechanisms of ATF3 in regulating ferroptosis in HB.
