Objective: Sepsis remains a major cause of neonatal death. To better characterize the inflammatory response during neonatal sepsis, we compared the differences in serum cytokines and chemokines between full-term neonates with sepsis and without infection.

Methods: We enrolled 40 full-term neonates with sepsis and 26 full-term neonates without infection as controls between October 2016 and June 2018.

Objective: Central nervous system infections (CNSI) are serious diseases that endanger human health. Identifying pathogens and their susceptibility to antibiotics, and promptly using antibiotics under this guidance is essential for treatment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the pathogen characteristics of CNSI patients, which can help clinicians choose appropriate empiric antibiotic .

Background: Although miR-190 has been reported to be related to human diseases, especially in the development and progression of cancer, its expression in human bladder cancer (BC) and potential contribution to BC remain unexplored.

Methods: RT-qPCR was used to verify the expression level of miR-190 and CDKN1B. Flow cytometry (FCM) assays were performed to detect cell cycle.

Background: LARGE1 plays a pivotal role in glycosylation of alpha-Dystroglycan (α-DG) and is aberrantly downregulated in cell lines originating from epithelium-derived cancers including lung cancer. However, the expression of LARGE1 and its clinical significance in NSCLC are not clear.

Materials And Methods: The data were collected from the TCGA database to investigate LARGE1 expression in stage I-III NSCLC and explore its associations with clinicopathological parameters and overall survival of patients.
