Necroptosis-related lncRNA signature predicts prognosis and immune response for cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinomas.

Necroptosis, a programmed form of necrotic cell death, plays critical regulatory roles in the progression and metastatic spread of cancers such as cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC). However, there are few articles systematically analyzing the necroptosis-related long non-coding RNAs (NRlncRNAs) correlated with CESC patients. Both RNA-sequencing and clinical data of CESC patients are downloaded from TCGA database in this study.

Background: Ovarian malignant mesoderm mixed tumor (OMMMT) is a rare clinical entity. To provide reference for the treatment and prognosis of OMMMT, we analyzed the clinical features, pathology and molecular biology characteristic of published cases.

Methods: The English and Chinese reported cases of OMMMT were selected from PubMed, Clinical Trials.

Monensin suppresses cell proliferation and invasion in ovarian cancer by enhancing MEK1 SUMOylation.

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy, and is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage. Most patients relapse within 12-24 months and die from progressive chemotherapy-resistant diseases. Significant progress has been made in developing new targeted therapies for human cancer, including ovarian cancer.

Combination of nigericin with cisplatin enhances the inhibitory effect of cisplatin on epithelial ovarian cancer metastasis by inhibiting slug expression via the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway.

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal cancer among female genital tumours. Standard therapies, including postoperative chemotherapy, exhibit high proportions of recurrence and resistance. Novel therapeutic strategies are combined with chemotherapy.

Coupling SnS and rGO aerogel to CuS for enhanced light-assisted OER electrocatalysis.

In order to harvest more light wavelengths to improve the light-assisted electrochemical water splitting capacity, we developed a novel heterostructure of three-dimensional (3D) flower-like CuS architecture with accompanying SnS2 nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) aerogel for outstanding light-assisted electrocatalytic OER performance and good stability. The excellent catalytic kinetics, effective capturing of visible light, and rapid charge transfer of the CuS/SnS2/rGO (CSr) heterostructure were demonstrated. The overpotential (264 mV@10 mA cm-2) under light-assisted conditions is 20% lower than that under light-chopped conditions.

Noble metal-free 0D-1D NiCoP/MnCdS nanocomposites for highly efficient photocatalytic H evolution under visible-light irradiation.

Efficient and noble metal-free co-catalyst loading is an effective solution for separating and transferring photo-generated carriers and lowering the overpotential in photocatalytic H evolution activity. In this work, we designed and prepared a series of novel NiCoP/MnCdS (NCP/MCS) composites by modifying MCS nanorods with the co-catalyst NCP using a simple calcination method. Notably, the 10-NCP/MCS composite displays the optimum photocatalytic H evolution rate of 118.

Optimizing the synthesis of SnO/TiO/RGO nanocomposites with excellent visible light photocatalytic and antibacterial activities.

Multifunctional SnO/TiO/RGO nanocomposites with enhanced photocatalytic degradation and antibacterial activity have been successfully synthesized by a facile one-pot environmentally friendly green hydrothermal route using titanium tetrabutoxide (TBOT), NaSnO and graphene oxide (GO) without reducing agents and any structure-directing agents. The results demonstrate that the reaction pH conditions play important roles in the control of the crystallographic phases of TiO and SnO. In addition, the visible-light-active photocatalytic and antibacterial activities of the synthesized composites were measured for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and the growth inhibition of the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (E.

Upstream transcription factor 1 prompts malignancies of cervical cancer primarily by transcriptionally activating p65 expression.

Cervical cancer is the third-most common cause of female cancer-related mortality worldwide. In cervical cancer, aberrant activation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling is widely reported. However, the transcriptional regulation of NF-κB signaling remains unclear.

MicroRNA-217 functions as a tumor suppressor in cervical cancer cells through targeting Rho-associated protein kinase 1.

The abnormal expression of microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) has been widely reported in various tumor types. miR-217 was demonstrated to be aberrantly expressed in a number of tumors, including pancreatic adenocarcinoma and osteosarcoma; however, its specific expression pattern has never been investigated in cervical cancer cells. Compared with normal control, the level of Rho-associated protein kinase 1 (ROCK1) expression was markedly increased in cervical cancer tissues and cells compared with that in non-cancerous tissues and cells.

miR-148a-3p suppresses epithelial ovarian cancer progression primarily by targeting c-Met.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small non-coding RNAs that modulate post-transcriptional gene expression. It has been demonstrated that various miRNAs may be expressed at different levels in different types of tumors. The present study assessed the role of microRNA-148a-3p (miR-148a-3p) in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).

Low-molecular-weight polysaccharides from Murrill modulate the Th1 response in cancer immunity.

To assess the effect of low-molecular-weight polysaccharides from Murrill (ABP-AW1) as an immunoadjuvant therapy for type 1 T-helper (Th1) responses in tumorigenesis, C57BL/6 mice were inoculated subcutaneously with ovalbumin (E.G7-OVA). After 3, 10 and 17 days, the mice were immunized with PBS, OVA alone, or OVA and ABP-AW1, at low (50 µg), intermediate (100 µg) or high (200 µg) doses.

Nigericin Inhibits Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Metastasis by Suppressing the Cell Cycle and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition.

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has the highest mortality among various types of gynecological malignancies. Most patients die of metastasis and recurrence due to cisplatin resistance. Thus, it is urgent to develop novel therapies to cure this disease.

Citrate-Complexation Synthesis and Photoluminescence Properties of Y6MoO12:Eu Nanocrystalline.

Y6MoO12 doped with Eu3+ was synthesized using a citrate-complexation route, and was calcined at 800 °C and 1400 °C, respectively. The structure, morphology and photoluminescence (PL) properties of the samples, and their dependence on the crystallite size were investigated. XRD patterns indicate that the Y6MoO12:Eu3+ powder was obtained at both calcination temperatures, and had a cubic structure.

[The development of Clonorchis sinensis in mice].

Freshwater fish were caught from Nenjiang River in Qiqihaer City, and examined for metacercariae of Clonorchis sinensis by the artificial digestion (pepsin-HCl) method. The metacercariae (35-40) were given orally into stomach to each Kunming mouse of infection group (50 mice). The mice in control group were given the same amount of normal saline.

Density functional theory study on the reaction mechanism of synthesizing 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone by urea method.

We report a first-principles density functional theory investigation on tailoring the fundamental reaction mechanism of synthesizing 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (DMI) through the urea method with water serving as both solvent and catalyst. The nucleophilic cyclization reaction is implemented by two ammonia removal steps. One -NH group of dimethylethylenediamine (DMEDA) first attacks the carbon atom of urea, eliminating one -NH3 group and forming an intermediate state CH3NHC2H4N(CH3)CONH2 (IMI).

Hydrogen sequential dissociative chemisorption on Ni n(n = 2~9,13) clusters: comparison with Pt and Pd.

Hydrogen dissociative chemisorption and desorption on small lowest energy Ni(n) clusters up to n=13 as a function of H coverage was studied using density functional theory. H adsorption on the clusters was found to be preferentially at edge sites followed by 3-fold hollow sites and on-top sites. The minimum energy path calculations suggest that H(2) dissociative chemisorption is both thermodynamically and kinetically favorable and the H atoms on the clusters are mobile.

Advances in the research on lymphangiogenesis in carcinoma tissues (Review).

Metastatic spread of tumors is an important prognostic factor for cancer patients. The effect of angiogenesis on cancer cell proliferation and metastatic spread has been confirmed. However, less attention has been focused on research involving tumor lymphangiogenesis as opposed to research on tumor angiogenesis, due to the lack of specific markers for lymphatic vessel endothelial cells (LVECs).

Hydrogen dissociative chemisorption and desorption on saturated subnano palladium clusters (Pdn, n = 2-9).

H2 sequential dissociative chemisorption on small palladium clusters was studied using density functional theory. The chosen clusters Pdn (n = 2-9) are of the lowest energy structures for each n. H2 dissociative chemisorption and subsequent H atom migration on the bare Pd clusters were found to be nearly barrierless.
