Background: Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common and debilitating condition affecting stroke survivors, significantly impacting their recovery and overall quality of life.

Aim: To assess the effects of early PSD screening on functional outcomes, quality of life, and mortality.

Methods: From an initial pool of 1065 articles, 6 studies met the inclusion criteria and were selected for analysis.

Intense research efforts are focused on the development of advanced high-entropy alloys intended for premium aerospace components and other applications, where high strength and good formability are crucial. The mechanical properties of these alloys are closely related to the phase transformation, dislocation evolution, and grain size, and these factors are affected by the deformation temperature. The response of the retained austenite to strain-induced martensitic transformation at various temperatures was studied in an advanced TiNbTaZrMo (at.

Adapter proteins CRK and CRKL participate in a variety of signaling pathways, including cell adhesion, and fate regulation of mammalian cells. However, the molecular functions of CRK/CRKL in epigenetic regulation remain largely unknown. Here, we developed a pipeline to evaluate cell morphology using high-content image analysis combined with chemical screening of kinase and epigenetic modulators.

A current challenge in systems biology is to predict dynamic properties of cell behaviors from public information such as gene expression data. The temporal dynamics of signaling molecules is critical for mammalian cell commitment. We hypothesized that gene expression levels are tightly linked with and quantitatively control the dynamics of signaling networks regardless of the cell type.

Background Esophageal cancer is a very common malignant tumor in China, especially esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), but there is currently no effective treatment for patients after first-line chemotherapy failure. Apatinib has shown promising outcomes in treatment with various solid tumors. Objectives To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of apatinib combined with S-1 in the treatment of advanced ESCC patients after first-line chemotherapy failure.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) induces severe and long-lasting neurological disability. Accumulating evidence has suggested that histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors exert neuroprotective effects against various insults and deficits in the central nervous system. In the present study, we assessed the effect of the class I HDAC inhibitor CI-994 in a mouse model of SCI.

Cortical neurogenesis is a fundamental process of brain development that is spatiotemporally regulated by both intrinsic and extrinsic cues. Although recent evidence has highlighted the significance of transcription factors in cortical neurogenesis, little is known regarding the role of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) in the post-transcriptional regulation of cortical neurogenesis. Here, we report that meiosis arrest female 1 (MARF1) is an RBP that is expressed during neuronal differentiation.

Neuronal migration is a crucial process in the organization of the developing cerebral cortex. Although a number of positive regulatory mechanisms of radial migration have been identified, negative cell-autonomous mechanisms have yet to be fully described. Here we report a newly identified Migration Inhibitory Protein (MINP, formerly known as 2900011O08Rik) that negatively regulates radial migration.

Objective: To produce the monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against hygromycin B phosphotransferase (HPT) and to develop immunoassay based on mAbs for biosafety assessment of HPT in genetically modified rice (GM rice).

Methods: BALB/c mice were immunized with purified recombinant 6His. HPT protein, and the conventional hybridoma technology was used to generate the monoclonal hybridoma cells.

Objective: The causal agent for SARS is considered as a novel coronavirus that has never been described both in human and animals previously. The stability of SARS coronavirus in human specimens and in environments was studied.

Methods: Using a SARS coronavirus strain CoV-P9, which was isolated from pharyngeal swab of a probable SARS case in Beijing, its stability in mimic human specimens and in mimic environment including surfaces of commonly used materials or in household conditions, as well as its resistance to temperature and UV irradiation were analyzed.
