TRIM4 modulates the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of hnRNPDL and weakens sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibitor in ovarian cancer.

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal malignancy affecting the female reproductive system. Pharmacological inhibitors targeting CDK4/6 have demonstrated promising efficacy across various cancer types. However, their clinical benefits in ovarian cancer patients fall short of expectations, with only a subset of patients experiencing these advantageous effects.

Transcriptional regulation of the yersiniabactin receptor fyuA gene by the ferric uptake regulator in Klebsiella pneumoniae NTUH-K2044.

The ferric uptake regulator (Fur) is a global regulator that influences the expression of virulence genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae. Bioinformatics analysis suggests Fur may involve in iron acquisition via the identified regulatory box upstream of the yersiniabactin receptor gene fyuA. To observe the impact of the gene fyuA on the virulence of K.

Anlotinib Inhibits Ovarian Cancer and Enhances Cisplatinum Sensitivity Suppressing NOTCH2 Expression and Stemness.

Background/aim: The prognosis of ovarian cancer (OC) patients is especially poor for patients with chemotherapy resistance. Anlotinib, a novel multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has shown encouraging clinical efficacy in several tumor types. The aim of the present study was to examine the inhibitory efficacy and mechanism of anlotinib on the proliferation and chemosensitivity of OC cells.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with weekly cisplatin and paclitaxel followed by chemoradiation for locally advanced cervical cancer.

Background: Currently, the standard treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer is concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT). Forty percent of patients present with disease recurrence. This study aims to investigate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) with weekly cisplatin and paclitaxel (TP) followed by CCRT.

BI 2536 induces gasdermin E-dependent pyroptosis in ovarian cancer.

Background: The frequent emergence of drug resistance to chemotherapy is a major obstacle for the treatment of ovarian cancer. There is a need for novel drugs to fulfill this challenge. Pyroptosis-inducing drugs can inhibit tumor growth.

Combination of FOXD1 and Plk2: A novel biomarker for predicting unfavourable prognosis of colorectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a worldwide disease with worse survival. Our objective is to identify previously unrecognized prognostic factors to better evaluate disease progression. Seven GEO datasets were collected and analysed using R software, followed by KEGG enrichment analysis and TFs network construction.

Regulation of ECP fimbriae-related genes by the transcriptional regulator RcsAB in Klebsiella pneumoniae NTUH-K2044.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the major pathogens causing nosocomial infections. The regulator of capsule synthesis (Rcs) system is a complex signal transduction pathway that is involved in the regulation of virulence factors of K. pneumoniae as an important transcriptional regulator.

Comparison of outcomes and side effects for neoadjuvant chemotherapy with weekly cisplatin and paclitaxel followed by chemoradiation vs. chemoradiation alone in stage IIB-IVA cervical cancer: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Currently, the standard treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer is concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT). The effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in advanced cervical cancer is controversial. Studies have shown that the addition of a weekly regimen of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by CCRT may be superior to a thrice-weekly regimen of NACT and CCRT.

Identification and Functional Validation of Differentially Expressed microRNAs in Ascites-Derived Ovarian Cancer Cells Compared with Primary Tumour Tissue.

Purpose: Ovarian cancer, manifested by malignant ascites, is the most lethal gynaecological cancer. Suspended ascites-derived spheroids may contribute to ovarian cancer metastasis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are also associated with ovarian cancer metastasis.

Circulating tumor DNA as a prognostic marker in high-risk endometrial cancer.

Background: Currently, there is no reliable blood-based marker to track tumor recurrence in endometrial cancer (EC) patients. Liquid biopsies, specifically, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis emerged as a way to monitor tumor metastasis. The objective of this study was to examine the feasibility of ctDNA in recurrence surveillance and prognostic evaluation of high-risk EC.

Risk factor for lung infection in recipients after liver transplantation: A meta-analysis.

Lung infection (LI) often occurs in patients with liver transplantation (LT). This meta-analysis was conducted to determine the risk factors associated with LI after LT. We retrieved relevant research published as of February 2020 from eight electronic databases.

RcsAB and Fur Coregulate the Iron-Acquisition System via in NTUH-K2044 in Response to Iron Availability.

The iron acquisition system is an essential virulence factor for human infection and is under tight regulatory control in a variety of pathogens. Ferric-uptake regulator (Fur) is one of Fe-responsive transcription factor that maintains iron homeostasis, and the regulator of capsule synthesis (Rcs) is known to regulate exopolysaccharide biosynthesis. We speculate the Rcs may involve in iron-acquisition given the identified regulator box in the upstream of that participated in the biosynthesis of enterobactin.

Ovarian thecoma-fibroma groups: clinical and sonographic features with pathological comparison.

Background: Ovarian thecoma-fibroma groups (OTFG) are uncommon sex cord-stromal neoplasms. The objective of the study was to demonstrate clinical and sonographic features of OTFG and compare with surgical histopathology.

Methods: A total of 61 patients with surgically proven OTFG were enrolled in this retrospective study to demonstrate its clinical and sonographic features and to compare with pathological findings.

[The role of angelica injection on P-selectin and anti-cardiolipin antibodies in acute pulmonary embolism rats].

Objective: To study the effect of Chinese medicine, Angelica, injection on the expression of P-, E-selectin and anti-cardiolipin antibody in acute pulmonary embolism rats.

Methods: SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: normal control group(Group N), thromboembolism group (Group T), and treatment group of thromboembolism with angelica injection (Group TA). There were three time points in every group: 1 h, 4 h and 8 h.
