The role of SPI1/VSIG4/THBS1 on glioblastoma progression through modulation of the PI3K/AKT pathway.

Introduction: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) poses a significant challenge in terms of treatment due to its high malignancy, necessitating the identification of additional molecular targets. VSIG4, an oncogenic gene participates in tumor growth and migration in various cancer types. Nevertheless, the precise process through which VSIG4 facilitates the malignant progression of glioma remains to be elucidated.

miR-183-5p promotes proliferation, invasion, and glycolysis of thyroid carcinoma cells by targeting FOXO1.

The aim of this study was to research the influences of miR-183-5p on the proliferation, invasion, and glycolysis of thyroid cancer (THCA) cells. Clinical specimens from 84 THCA patients were included. THCA cell lines (K1, SW1736, and TPC1) were cultured.

Parathyroid Hormone Reduction Predicts Transient Hypocalcemia after Total Thyroidectomy: A Single-Center Prospective Study.

Objective: We performed this study to investigate the risk factors for postoperative hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy with central lymph node dissection (CLND). . This was a single-center prospective study based on 176 consecutive patients who underwent total thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Comparison of endoscopic thyroidectomy via a modified axillo-breast approach with the conventional breast approach for treatment of unilateral papillary thyroid microcarcinoma.

Endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET) via an axillo-breast (ABA), axillary or breast approach (BA) is effective for treatment of unilateral papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). However, several disadvantages still exist, including inconvenience for using endoscopic instruments and poor cosmetic results. Here, we introduced a modified ABA (MABA) to overcome these disadvantages and evaluated its therapeutic outcomes by comparison with conventional BA.

[Study of the correlation between Streptococcus mutans' adhesion and surface corrosion in casting titanium and Ti alloy].

Purpose: To investigate the correlation between Streptococcus mutans' adhesion and surface corrosion of the casting titanium and Ti alloy with different kinds of polishing.

Methods: The casting titanium and Ti alloy were respectively processed into size of 30 mm x 8mm x 1mm in tablets. Each material was prepared for 32 specimens, randomly divided into two groups, dealt with mechanical polishing and electrochemistry polishing, and then randomly divided into four groups (blank control, media control, inoculated media control for three months and six months).
