Objective: To investigate DNA methylation (DNAm) status of dickkopf-associated protein 1 (DKK-1) in ossified hip capsule synovium and serum among patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
Methods: Western blot was applied to detect the level of DKK-1 protein expression in hip joint capsule tissues from four patients with AS as well as four patients with femoral neck fracture (FNF) caused by trauma as control. DKK-1 gene promoter methylation (GPM) was examined by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction.
Article Synopsis
- Autism is characterized by abnormal brain network patterns that differ from typically developing children, and researching these differences can help understand cognitive development.* -
- Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) was used to analyze brain networks by breaking them down into subnetworks, revealing significant differences in network expressions between autistic and control children.* -
- The study identified specific subnetworks in different brain frequency bands that correlated inversely with cognitive abilities in autistic children, further supporting existing theories about lateralization and brain function in autism.*
The classical auditory oddball paradigm is a commonly used experimental paradigm for evoking event related potentials (ERPs). The present study was aimed to explore the auditory cognitive processing mechanism of space perception of human brain. We employed an auditory oddball paradigm of binaural unbiased and biased sound intensity to compare and analyze the response characteristics of ERP.

Objective: To investigate the recurrence and survival of postoperative patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) aged from 25 to 59 years.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 36 patients with DTC treated in our hospital from 1996 to 2011, and the recurrence and survival status of the patients were recorded. Kaplan-Meier analysis was carried out to analyze factors that affect the patient's survival.
