Predictive action of oncomiR in suppressing TP53 signaling pathway in hypoxia-conditioned colon cancer cell line HCT-116.

Hypoxia-induced heterogeneity in colorectal cancer (CRC) significantly impacts patient survival by promoting chemoresistance. These conditions alter the regulation of miRNAs, key regulators of crucial processes like proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion, leading to tumor progression. Despite their promising potential as diagnostic and therapeutic targets, the underlying mechanisms by which miRNAs influence hypoxia-mediated tumorigenesis remain largely unexplored.

This study aims to investigate IL6, CA-125 and HE4 to predict tumor resectability in the pre-operative patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the polyclinic, oncology and gynecology inpatient room of Dr.

DNA Polymorphism of 13 Autosomal Short Tandem Repeats (STR) Loci in Mentawai Populations.

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Indonesia consists of various ethnic groups with diverse cultures. However, research on allele frequencies and genetic variations of each ethnic group in Indonesia has not been well established. Therefore, a study was conducted on 13 STR loci panels to analyze the mentawai population as an enhancement of the Indonesian population's genetic data library and genetic variation.

A Systematic Scoping Review of Motivations and Barriers in COVID-19 Volunteering Among Health Students: The Potential for Future Pandemic Volunteers.

Background: The high number of cases of COVID-19 has caused an increase in workload and a shortage of medical personnel in various countries, so volunteers are needed, such as health students. However, becoming a volunteer during a pandemic is influenced by motivational factors and barriers.

Purpose: This study aims to identify the motivations and barriers of health students as COVID-19 volunteers.

GENETIC ANALYSIS 21 SHORT TANDEM REPEATS (STR) LOCUS IN MINANGKABAU POPULATION, WEST SUMATERA, INDONESIA.

Background: Minangkabau is the majority ethnic group in West Sumatra, Indonesia. West Sumatra is a disaster area, especially earthquakes and the potential for a tsunami. Allele frequency for 21 short tandem repeat locus and genetic variation are not well known.

Beta Amyloid and Malondialdehyde Serum Levels' Analysis in Atrial Fibrillation Patients with Cognitive Impairment.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly encountered cardiac dysrhythmia, and AF patients are five times more likely to have a risk of stroke. Although the effects of stroke on patients are quite severe, lately it has been recognized that AF is associated with the incidence of cognitive impairment and dementia.

Objective: This study aims to analyze and determine the differences in two isoforms of amyloid beta (Aββ40 and 42) and malondialdehyde (MDA) serum levels in AF patients who experience and who do not experience cognitive impairment.

Limitations of immunization registers at community health centers for measuring immunization coverage: a case study of the Japanese encephalitis mass immunization program in Bali Province, Indonesia.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the coverage of Japanese encephalitis (JE) immunization obtained from a recall survey and immunization registers at community health centers (CHCs) in Bali Province, Indonesia.

Methods: A population-based survey was conducted, and random 2-staged selection of clusters of sub-villages was performed. The sample consisted of households with children aged 9 months to 15 years old.
