Background: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant mRNA modification in mammals, participating in various biological processes. VIRMA is a key methyltransferase involved in m6A modification. However, the role of VIRMA in Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) remains unclear.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a significant contributor to neonatal mortality. This study aimed to investigate the role of high levels of miR-375-3p in breast milk in the development of NEC and elucidate its mechanism.
Methods: Differential expression of miR-375-3p in the intestines of breast-fed and formula-fed mice was confirmed using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
Background: Neuroblastoma (NB), a prevalent pediatric solid tumor, presents formidable challenges due to its high malignancy and intricate pathogenesis. The role of disulfidptosis, a novel form of programmed cell death, remains poorly understood in the context of NB.
Methods: Gaussian mixture model (GMM)-identified disulfidptosis-related molecular subtypes in NB, differential gene analysis, survival analysis, and gene set variation analysis were conducted subsequently.
Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is one of the important causes of neonatal death, and proper timing of operation is of critical significance. This study aimed to explore the high-risk factors for NEC requiring surgical intervention and to provide a reference for its clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Methods: Clinical and radiological evidence of NEC neonates admitted to Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University and Zhongshan Boai Hospital from January 2010 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.
