Tweety homolog 3 promotes colorectal cancer progression through mutual regulation of histone deacetylase 7.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading cancers worldwide, with metastasis being a major cause of high mortality rates among patients. In this study, dysregulated gene Tweety homolog 3 (TTYH3) was identified by Gene Expression Omnibus database. Public databases were used to predict potential competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) for TTYH3.

Dihydroartemisinin induces ER stress-dependent apoptosis of Echinococcus protoscoleces in vitro.

In this study, we investigated the effect of dihydroartemisinin on Echinococcus protoscoleces and explored the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in this process. Echinococcus protoscoleces were collected and cultured in RPMI 1640 medium. Changes in the expressions of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP-78), caspase-12, and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) were assessed through confocal immunofluorescence and western blot analysis.

Bispectral Index Values Are Accurate Diagnostic Indices Correlated With Glasgow Coma Scale Scores.

Objective: The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is widely used in neurosurgery to evaluate the depth of coma in patients with brain injury. The bispectral index (BIS) was developed primarily to monitor the depth of unconsciousness. Recent evidence suggests that BIS may also help in the assessment of brain injury.
