Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the challenges and mechanisms of CO-enhanced shale oil recovery, emphasizing the impact of nanoscale pores and fractures on the process.
  • The researchers used a novel nanofluidic method to determine the minimum miscible pressure for CO and octane, enabling them to explore displacement behaviors in different micro-nano networks.
  • The findings reveal that miscible flooding significantly improves recovery efficiency, especially in heterogeneous conditions, and the displacement process involves distinct stages including pressure-driven flow and matrix oil production.

Crude oil gasification bacteria, including fermenting bacteria, hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria, reducing bacteria, and methanogenic bacteria, participate in multi-step reactions involving initial activation, intermediate metabolism, and the methanogenesis of crude oil hydrocarbons. These bacteria degrade crude oil into smaller molecules such as hydrogen, carbon dioxide, acetic acid, and formic acid. Ultimately, they convert it into methane, which can be utilized or stored as a strategic resource.

Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) influence the onset of osteosarcoma. Cuproptosis is a novel cell death mechanism. We attempted to identify a cuproptosis-related lncRNA signature to predict the prognosis and immune landscape in osteosarcoma patients.

Introduction: Circular RNAs, as a class of long-time-ignored non-coding RNA, have been revealed as multifunctional RNAs in recent years, especially in the cancer research. However, the mechanism of most circular RNAs and their clinical application values in human cancers remain unknown, including in colorectal cancer (CRC).

Methods: In this study, we focused on the expression pattern and clinical values of hsa_circ_0000711 in CRC.

DNA methylation plays an important role in the etiology and pathogenesis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The current study aimed to identify aberrantly methylated-differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis. In addition, we screened for DEGs affected by DNA methylation modification and further investigated their prognostic values for HNSCC.

As one of crucial epigenetic modification, DNA methylation plays an important role during the carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC). In the current study, we used a human genome methylation array to detect the aberrant methylation genes in CRC. We further identified the hypermethylation of () and proved inverse correlation between methylation and its expression in CRC.

Gene methylation has been frequently observed in lung cancer. However, the use of methylated genes in bronchial aspirates of patients with lung cancer remains to be evaluated. The purpose of this study was to analyze whether the detection of genes with aberrant promoter methylation can be useful noninvasive biomarkers in bronchial aspirates from lung cancer.

Objective: To study the effects of NS398, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, on the transcription and translation of BCL-3 and its regulatory gene cyclin D1 in colon cancer cell line SW480.

Methods: Human colon cancer cells SW480 were divided into two groups: SW480 cells in experimental group were treated with NS398 in different concentrations(25 micromol/L, 50 micromol/L, 100 micromol/L and 200 micromol/L) for 48 h or 72 h. SW480 cells in control group were treated with media which did not contain NS398.
