Background: Pulmonary nodule growth rate assessment is critical in the management of subsolid pulmonary nodules (SSNs) during clinical follow-up. The present study aimed to develop a model to predict the growth rate of SSNs.
Methods: A total of 273 growing SSNs with clinical information and 857 computed tomography (CT) scans were retrospectively analyzed.
H9N2 IAV infection contributed to P. aeruginosa coinfection, causing severe hemorrhagic pneumonia in mink. In this study, the in vitro alveolar macrophage models were developed to investigate the innate immune responses to P.

Genetic analysis is an important part of undergraduate genetics teaching and tetrad analysis is unique and integral for genetic analysis of fungi. The ordered tetrad in Neurospora is an important material for genetic analysis, which can not only be used to study recombination between genes and centromeres, but also between genes themselves, as well as study the fine cross patterns between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. However, in textbooks and related professional journals, there is a lack of specific introduction to the induction methods of the seven basic class asci used in two genes analysis.

This study aimed to find out whether the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes SNAI1 and TWIST1 may affect BC and OC susceptibility. A total of 7 tagging‑SNPs (tSNPs) were directly genotyped in 1,161 BC cases, 286 OC cases and 1,273 cancer‑free controls among Chinese Han women.

Methods: This systems-based interactome analysis was designed to enforce the workflow of "ASR (herb)→compound→target protein→internal protein actions→ending regulated protein for hematopoiesis". This workflow was deployed with restrictions on regulated proteins expresses in bone marrow and anemia disease and futher validated with experiments.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of music therapy for acute and chronic sleep disorders in adults.
Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Data Sources: A systematic search of publications in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library without language restriction was performed.
