Correlation Between the Hepatitis C Virus NS3 Protein and CD30 Expression in Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma.

Introduction:  One of the etiologies of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is chronic infection related to lymphoma pathogenesis, with a high prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection seen. In determining the treatment and prognosis of NHL, cluster of differentiation 30 (CD30) immunohistochemical staining plays an important role. High levels of CD30 are found in patients with HCV infection.

Empirical relationship between vadose zone properties and diesel attenuation capacity: A complement for intrinsic vulnerability models.

Evaluating and predicting the natural attenuation capacity (AC) of a vadose zone is essential for determining groundwater vulnerability to contamination from upper sources. However, it remains unclear how the physicochemical properties of vadose zone soils affect AC owing to their complexity and spatial heterogeneity. In this study, we developed a regression model for estimating the AC of a vadose zone against diesel using datasets from different soils with a wide range of physicochemical properties.

Reduced Cochlear MRI Signal and Hearing Outcomes in Conservatively Managed Vestibular Schwannoma Patients.

Objective: This study aimed to determine if hypointense cochlear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) constructive interference in steady-state (CISS) signal correlates with hearing outcomes in conservatively managed vestibular schwannoma (VS) patients.

Study Design: Retrospective review of 657 cases from 1992 to 2020.

Setting: Tertiary academic referral center.

Mental Health of Healthcare Workers in Indonesia, Philippines, and Taiwan During COVID-19 Pandemic: a Cross-Sectional Survey.

Objective: This study aims to determine factors associated with hesitation and motivation to work among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Indonesia, Philippines, and Taiwan during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: HCWs aged ≥20 years working in five hospitals in Indonesia, Philippines, and Taiwan were invited to participate in a self-administered mental health survey between 30 January 2021 and 31 August 2021. The 33-item questionnaire measured HCWs' perceived stress, level of motivation and hesitation to work, attitude and confidence regarding work, attitude on the policies by the hospital and government, and discrimination against the occupation.

Challenges and Controversies in the Genetic Diagnosis of Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia.

Purpose Of Review: The hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are a group of disorders characterised by progressive lower limb weakness and spasticity. We address the challenges and controversies involved in the genetic diagnosis of HSP.

Recent Findings: There is a large and rapidly expanding list of genes implicated in HSP, making it difficult to keep gene testing panels updated.

Preparation of a Highly Stable Pd-Perovskite Catalyst for Suzuki Couplings via a Low-Temperature Hydrothermal Treatment.

Pd-perovskite (Pd-STO, STO = SrTiO) was synthesized by a relatively low-temperature (373 K) hydrothermal method without calcination. The morphology of the Pd-STO could be controlled by adjusting the HO/NH ratio during the fabrication of the amorphous titania. The Pd-STO catalyst showed better durability for Suzuki couplings than did Pd-impregnated catalysts on conventional supports.
