MATERIAL AND METHODS A cross-sectional survey was performed from September 10 to 16, 2022, by administering an online questionnaire to the hospital staff on duty in the hospital. We collected participants' demographic and general information.

LncRNAs also emerge as valuable prognostic factors for NSCLC patients. Consequently, we set out to discover more autophagy-associated lncRNAs.

In order to provide more information about the emission mechanisms, we studied a moving Type-IV radio burst with fine structures (spike group) by using the high-resolution capability of the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) on August 25, 2014.

Excessive contraction of the uterine arteries might cause fetal distress. This study was to determine the diameter of the uterine artery of female New Zealand rabbits after the administration of different doses of ephedrine using CT.

Ozanimod, approved by regulatory agencies in multiple countries for the treatment of adults with relapsing multiple sclerosis, is a sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator, which binds with high affinity selectively to S1P receptor subtypes 1 and 5. The relationships between plasma concentrations of ozanimod and its major active metabolites, CC112273 and CC1084037, and the QTc interval (C-QTc) from a phase I multiple-dose study in healthy subjects were analyzed using nonlinear mixed effects modeling. QTc was modeled linearly as the sum of a sex-related fixed effect, baseline, and concentration-related random effects that incorporated interindividual and residual variability.

Methods: Breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB231 and MCF7) were transfected with an miR106 mimic and miR106a inhibitor. BALB/c female nude mice were selected to construct a transplanted-tumor model.

Background: Four-factor prothrombin complex concentrates (4F-PCCs) have been approved for urgent vitamin K antagonist reversal in Western countries for many years. Ethnicity and genetic variations between populations may influence the pharmacokinetic profile of 4F-PCC treatments.
Objective: To report plasma levels of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors and proteins C and S in Japanese patients following administration of a 4F-PCC approved recently in Japan.

Hospital acquired complications (HACs) are serious problems affecting modern day healthcare institutions. It is estimated that HACs result in an approximately 10% increase in total inpatient hospital costs across US hospitals. With US hospital spending totaling nearly $900 billion per annum, the damages caused by HACs are no small matter.

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are the leading cause of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS), and the C allele of JAK2 rs4495487 was reported to be an additional candidate locus that contributed to MPNs. In the present study, we examined the role of JAK2 rs4495487 in the etiology and clinical presentation of Chinese BCS patients. 300 primary BCS patients and 311 healthy controls were enrolled to evaluate the association between JAK2 rs4495487 polymorphism and risk of BCS.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: Venous thromboembolism is a common complex disorder, being the resultant of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha is a proinflammatory cytokine which has been implicated in venous thromboembolism risk. A promoter 308G/A polymorphism in the tumor necrosis factor-alpha gene has been suggested to modulate the risk for venous thromboembolism.

Background: Supporting clinical decision support for personalized medicine will require linking genome and phenome variants to a patient's electronic health record (EHR), at times on a vast scale. Clinico-genomic data standards will be needed to unify how genomic variant data are accessed from different sequencing systems.
Methods: A specification for the basis of a clinic-genomic standard, building upon the current Health Level Seven International Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) standard, was developed.

Objectives: We assessed the safety and efficacy of right versus left laparoscopic living-donor nephrectomy. Few clinical controlled studies have compared the right and left side, and most trials have a small sample number and varied results. A meta-analysis of published trials was performed to determine the effects of the 2 different approaches.

Methods: Medline (PubMed), Embase, Ovid, Cochrane, and the Chinese Biomedical Literature databases were searched to identify clinically controlled trials (CCTs) and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared ultrasonographic access with fluoroscopic access for PCNL.

Background And Aim: Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a rare form of vascular disease. There is limited literature available regarding the prognosis of this disease. The aim of this study was to characterize the cumulative recurrence rates and to investigate the risk factors of recurrence in Chinese patients with BCS.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe association between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphisms and venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk in the Chinese population has been widely reported, but results were inconsistent and underpowered. To elucidate the variable results, a meta-analysis and systematic review were performed from all case-controlled studies relating MTHFR C677T polymorphism by pooling data on them. We estimated the pooled odds ratio with its 95% confidence intervals to assess this possible association.
