Increased versatility and convenience: Advances and strategy optimization of Receptor-Mediated Ovary Transduction of Cargo-mediated genetic modification in insects.

Genetic modification via gene editing has become a widely adopted and demonstrably effective method in functional gene research within entomology. However, the optimal efficiency and simplicity of delivering exogenous guide RNA-clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-associated protein 9 complexes into target tissues are crucial for successful gene editing. The Receptor-Mediated Ovary Transduction of Cargo (ReMOT) strategy, which simplifies the delivery process, target-site selection, technical requirements, and delivery cost compared with embryonic microinjection, enabling efficient editing at the germline level, is gaining increasing attention.

Arterial chemoembolization for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and elevated lactate dehydrogenase is associated with low survival: a cohort study.

Purpose: Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) concentration has been used for the evaluation and prediction of prognosis of several tumors, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the relationship between changes in LDH after treatment (ΔLDH) and prognosis is still unclear. Herein, we aimed to determine this association in patients with HCC.

Insulin-related lipohypertrophy: ultrasound characteristics, risk factors, and impact of glucose fluctuations.

Background: Lipohypertrophy (LHT) has been suggested as an outcome of the adipogenic effects of insulin injection-related tissue trauma. It commonly occurs in the clinical setting, but the current understanding of LHT by the medical staff and diabetes patients remains insufficient; moreover, it has not garnered attention as a research topic.

Objective: To investigate the ultrasound characterization of LHT, to identify the factors associated with LHT development by assessing the prevalence of LHT and compare the accuracy of clinical palpation with that of ultrasonography in LHT detection, and to further evaluate the possible impact of LHT on patients' blood glucose fluctuations.

A Five-gene Signature for Predicting the Prognosis of Colorectal Cancer.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a kind of tumor with high incidence and its treatment situation is still very difficult despite the constant renewal and development of treatment methods.

Objective: To assist the prognosis, monitoring and survival of CRC patients with a model.

Methods: In this study, we established a new prognostic model for CRC.

Prediction of posthepatectomy liver failure using transient elastography in patients with hepatitis B related hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: It is essential to accurately predict Postoperative liver failure (PHLF) which is a life-threatening complication. Liver hardness measurement (LSM) is widely used in non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis. The aims of this study were to explore the application of preoperative liver stiffness measurements (LSM) by transient elastography in predicting postoperative liver failure (PHLF) in patients with hepatitis B related hepatocellular carcinoma.

Expression patterns of three regulation enzymes in glycolysis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: association with survival.

Enhanced glycolysis is a common trait of many types of human cancers. This study was to detect the expression pattern of three regulatory enzymes during glycolysis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and to investigate their correlation with patients' outcome based on banked pathology material. A total of 141 surgically resected specimens of primary ESCC patients without prior treatments were retrospectively recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical College Hospital from 2007 to 2009.
