Background/significance: Rainstorm floods have become a high-impact natural disaster and are expected to become more extreme shortly, seriously threatening human safety. Although the government issues timely and precise rainstorm flood warning information, citizens remain indifferent and engage in maladaptive behavior. Therefore, understanding the relationship between emergency information, psychological cognition, individual characteristics, and protective behavior is crucial for effective risk information communication and evacuation guidance.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed sedation data from pediatric patients over two years to identify risk factors for prolonged recovery during procedural sedation, as current literature lacks this information.
  • A total of 30,003 pediatric patients were reviewed, with 854 (2.8%) experiencing prolonged recovery, relating to factors such as body weight, being an outpatient, previous sedation history, and receiving chloral hydrate.
  • The findings suggest that monitoring time should be increased for patients with these specific risk factors to enhance safety and procedural efficiency.

Objectives: Newborns and small infants are unable to cooperate actively during diagnostic procedures; therefore, sedation is often employee to maintain immobilization and obtain high-quality images. However, these procedures are often indicated in sick, vulnerable, or hemodynamically unstable neonates and young infants, which raises the associated risks of sedation. This study summarizes our 4-year of experience with safe and effective procedural sedation in this vulnerable population.

Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death, has been associated with many virus infections. However, the role of ferroptosis in dengue virus (DENV) infection remains to be clarified. In our study, a dengue fever microarray dataset (GSE51808) of whole blood samples was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and a list of ferroptosis related genes (FRGs) was extracted from the FerrDb.

Background: Physiological processes influencing a drugs' efficacy change substantially over the course of the day. However, it is unclear whether there is an association between the sedative success rate of chloral hydrate and the time of day. We conducted a retrospective study of 41,831 cases, to determine if there was a difference in sedation success rate with chloral hydrate in children seen in the morning and afternoon.

Background: Although chloral hydrate has been used as a sedative for more than 100 years, dozens of studies have reported that it has inconsistent sedative effects and high sedation failure rates with initial dose. The high failure rates may lead to repeated administration of sedatives, guardians' dissatisfaction, parental anxiety, increasing medical workload as well as leading to an increase of adverse events. Our aim is to identify the risk factors associated with chloral hydrate sedative failure with initial dose in children undergoing noninvasive diagnostic procedures.

Background: Previous observational studies have provided conflicting results on the association between serum iron status and the risk of breast cancer. Considering the relevance of this relationship to breast cancer prevention, its elucidation is warranted.

Object: We used a two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) study to explore the causal relationship between serum iron status and the risk of breast cancer.

Background: Trachypithecus leucocephalus, the white-headed langur, is a critically endangered primate that is endemic to the karst mountains in the southern Guangxi province of China. Studying the genomic and transcriptomic mechanisms underlying its local adaptation could help explain its persistence within a highly specialized ecological niche.

Results: In this study, we used PacBio sequencing and optical assembly and Hi-C analysis to create a high-quality de novo assembly of the T.

Study Objective: In Asian countries, oral chloral hydrate is the most commonly used sedative for non-invasive procedures. Theoretically, mild sleep deprivation could be considered as one of assisted techniques. However, there is no consensus on sleep deprivation facilitating the sedation during non-painful procedures in children.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common epithelial malignant tumors and the fifth leading cause of cancer death in men. An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that N6-methyladenosine (mA) plays a crucial role in tumorigenesis and tumor development. However, little is known about the role and levels of common mA regulators and mA levels in PCa.

Objectives: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a major cause of cervical cancer in women. The characteristics of HPV infection vary; therefore, it is necessary to identify the most common HPV genotypes among a group of subjects when introducing a vaccine program. Currently, in the Yanbian Autonomous Region, no HPV vaccinations are not provided, and no data has been reported regarding HPV rates or genotype prevalence.

Objective: Calpain 6 (CAPN6) is one of the calcium-dependent intracellular nonlysosomal proteases that are dysregulated in uterine leiomyomas (UtLMs). However, its function and mechanism in UtLMs is still unknown.

Methods: The correlation between CAPN6 expression and UtLMs was analyzed by the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO).

Background: Phenomics provides new technologies and platforms as a systematic phenome-genome approach. However, few studies have reported on the systematic mining of shared genetics among clinical biochemical indices based on phenomics methods, especially in China. This study aimed to apply phenomics to systematically explore shared genetics among 29 biochemical indices based on the Fangchenggang Area Male Health and Examination Survey cohort.

Background: Treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is an enormous challenge. As E2F transcription factor 1 (E2F1) is an essential factor in CRPC, this study investigated the genes and pathways controlled by E2F1 and their effects on cellular behavior in CRPC.

Methods: In vitro assays were used to evaluate cellular proliferation, apoptosis, and behavior.

Background: NK cells are presented in tumor microenvironments and acts as an essential defense line against multiple malignancies. Recently, miRNAs are reported to involve in the development of natural killer (NK) cells via negatively regulating gene expression. Here, we aim to explore the function and mechanism underlying how miR-20a modulated the killing effect of NK cells to cervical cancer cells.

T lymphoma invasion and metastasis 1 (Tiam1), a guanine nucleotide exchange factor, is involved in the tumorigenesis of a number of malignancies. This study was aimed to explore the role of Tiam1 in cervical cancer progression, and evaluate the prognostic values. Tiam1 protein expression levels were detected by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining in 174 cervical cancer tissues, 92 of CINs (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia) and 32 of normal cervical epithelia tissues.

In this paper, we study the complete convergence and complete moment convergence for weighted sums of extended negatively dependent (END) random variables under sub-linear expectations space with the condition of [Formula: see text], further [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] is a slow varying and monotone nondecreasing function). As an application, the Baum-Katz type result for weighted sums of extended negatively dependent random variables is established under sub-linear expectations space. The results obtained in the article are the extensions of the complete convergence and complete moment convergence under classical linear expectation space.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common solid tumors worldwide. Epigenetic changes in gene expression, including DNA methylation and histone modifications, may contribute to the development of HCC. Polymorphisms of the gene may affect the activity of this enzyme and increase the susceptibility to several types of cancer, including HCC.
