It is initiated by the protein kinase complex regulating by two signals pathway Mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1)-Adenosine 5' monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK)-Unc 51 like kinase 1(ULK1) and ULK1-PI3K- phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P). Currently, autolysosomes are accumulated during the aging process of CD8T cells in vitro and may participate in inducing death sensitization of senescent cells.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAplastic anemia (AA) is one of the immune-mediated bone marrow failure disorders caused by multiple factors, including the inability of CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells (Tregs) to negatively regulate cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Dioscin is a natural steroid saponin that has a similar structure to steroid hormones. The purpose of this study is to look into the effect of Dioscin on the functions of CD4 + CD25+ Tregs in the AA mouse model and explore its underlying mechanism.

However, traditional immunosuppressive therapy (IST) has severe liver and kidney toxicity and even cannot achieve the expected therapeutic effect in some patients.
Purpose: Our study is aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of dioscin (DNS) for treating AA.

Methods: Peripheral blood samples were colle-ted from 6 healthy volunteers. Mononuclear cells were isolated by density gradient centrifugation, and CD14 mononuclear cells were collected by the magnetic separation technique.
The present study aims to examine whether secondhand smoke exposure (SHSE) in university students can affect three indices of self-satisfaction related to depression as indiced by appearance, weight, and freedom of life choice. We collected data from 740 nonsmoking students in the summer of 2018, of which 57.84% were exposed to secondhand smoke.

IBD is generally treated with 5-aminosalicylic acid and immune-modulating medication, but side effects and limitations of these therapies are emerging. Thus, the development of novel preventative or therapeutic approaches is imperative.

This study aims to identify an appropriate mode of technological progress that increases CP. A data envelopment analysis-based method was used to investigate the impacts of four forms of technological progress under two classifications of CP: the progress of neutral technology (NT) and capital-embodied technology (CET) under a technological source and the progress of energy technology (ET) and carbon technology (CT) under an abatement process.

An increasing number of studies have verified that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) played key roles in the development of multiple human cancers. As a biomarker, SLC16A1-AS1 has been reported in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Aims: A retrospective study was performed to compare the effectiveness of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) plus radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with that of TACE alone for recurrent HCC.
Methods: From 2007 to 2013, patients with recurrent HCC ≤ 5 cm were treated with either TACE plus RFA (n = 96) or TACE (n = 63).
Raltitrexed has shown efficacy and safety in many tumor types; however, the clinical data on the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma is rare. In this report, we aim to assess the efficacy and safety of raltitrexed plus oxaliplatin (OXA)-based transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC). Patients with uHCC were recruited from multi-centers in China and assigned randomly to raltitrexed+OXA-based (n=76), fluorouracil+OXA-based (n=76), and doxorubicin+OXA-based (n=75) TACE treatment.

Large-area monolayer fluorinated graphene (FG) is synthesized by a controllable SF6 plasma treatment. The functional groups of FG are elucidated by various spectroscopies, including Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), and near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy. Raman results suggest that the defects are introduced into the monolayer graphene during the fluorination process.

The influences of some key parameters on the liquefaction yield were investigated. The results showed that compared with traditional liquefaction, the introduction of MUAT allowed the solvent dosage to be halved and shortened the liquefaction time from 60 to 20 min.
