LASSO‑based Cox‑PH model identifies an 11‑lncRNA signature for prognosis prediction in gastric cancer.

The present study aimed to identify a long non‑coding (lnc) RNAs‑based signature for prognosis assessment in gastric cancer (GC) patients. By integrating gene expression data of GC and normal samples from the National Center for Biotechnology Information Gene Expression Omnibus, the EBI ArrayExpress and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) repositories, the common RNAs in Genomic Spatial Event (GSE) 65801, GSE29998, E‑MTAB‑1338, and TCGA set were screened and used to construct a weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) network for mining GC‑related modules. Consensus differentially expressed RNAs (DERs) between GC and normal samples in the four datasets were screened using the MetaDE method.

Molecular epidemiology of pseudorabies virus in Yunnan and the sequence analysis of its gD gene.

Outbreaks of pseudorabies (PRs) have occurred in Yunnan, China, which caused significant economic loss. To determine the prevalence and origin of PR in Yunnan, especially among vaccinated pigs, overall 791 samples of blood, tissue, semen, and sera were analyzed by serological methods, PCR, and sequence analysis of gD gene. Detection with viral gI antibody or PCR showed that the yearly positive rates of PR virus (PRV) in Yunnan from 2010 to 2014 were 48.

Chlorogenic acid increased acrylamide formation through promotion of HMF formation and 3-aminopropionamide deamination.

This research was aimed to investigate why chlorogenic acid, presents at high concentrations in some food raw material, influences acrylamide formation. In the asparagine/glucose Maillard reaction system (pH=6.8), addition of chlorogenic acid significantly increased acrylamide formation and inhibited its elimination.
