Heat shock protein-related diagnostic signature and molecular subtypes in ankylosing spondylitis: new pathogenesis insights.

Heat shock proteins (HSP) have been associated with a range of persistent inflammatory disorders; however, little research has been conducted on the involvement of HSP in the development of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The research aims to identify a diagnostic signature based on HSP-related genes and determine the molecular subtypes of AS. We gathered the transcriptional data of patients with AS from the GSE73754 dataset and conducted a literature search for HSP-related genes (HRGs).

Implementation of early prophylaxis for deep-vein thrombosis in intracerebral hemorrhage patients: an observational study from the Chinese Stroke Center Alliance.

Background: There is substantial evidence to support the use of several methods for preventing deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, the extent to which these measures are implemented in clinical practice and the factors influencing patients' receipt of preventive measures remain unclear. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the rate of the early implementation of DVT prophylaxis and the factors associated with its success in patients with ICH.

METTL1 facilitates ameloblastoma invasive growth via MAPK signaling pathway.

Objectives: Ameloblastoma (AM), a common odontogenic epithelial tumor, exhibits aggressive growth due to incomplete encapsulation within the jawbone. Postoperative recurrence is a significant concern, closely associated with its invasive nature. We investigate the role of tRNA N-7 methylguanosine (mG) modification mediated by Methyltransferase-like 1 (METTL1) in AM's invasive growth and prognosis.

According to the criterion of maximum transverse diameter ≥3 mm, a total of five submandibular stones meeting the requirement were included.

Multiple benign fibrous histiocytomas of the mandible: A case report and review of the literature.

Benign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH) mostly occurs on the skin of the extremities, while it is unusual to manifest on the bone and mandibular involvement of BFH is even rarer. The present study reports a case of BFH in a 42-year-old female who had a slowly progressive swelling of the bilateral mandible and slight facial asymmetry over a period of 4 months. However, the outcome of this patient was unsatisfactory, with the first and second recurrence observed 16 and 46 months after surgery, respectively.

Efficient estimation of pathwise differentiable target parameters with the undersmoothed highly adaptive lasso.

We consider estimation of a functional parameter of a realistically modeled data distribution based on observing independent and identically distributed observations. The highly adaptive lasso estimator of the functional parameter is defined as the minimizer of the empirical risk over a class of cadlag functions with finite sectional variation norm, where the functional parameter is parametrized in terms of such a class of functions. In this article we establish that this HAL estimator yields an asymptotically efficient estimator of any smooth feature of the functional parameter under a global undersmoothing condition.

Nomogram to predict the risk of endoscopic removal failure with forceps/baskets for treating submandibular stones.

Background: Endoscopic removal with forceps/baskets is favored in treating submandibular stones due to its minimal invasiveness. However, recent studies have found that endoscopic removal failure (ERF) is not unusual, and stones in such cases still need to be removed with other surgical methods. If the risk of ERF can be predicted preoperatively, it could be helpful for surgeons when choosing the appropriate therapy.

Nonparametric bootstrap inference for the targeted highly adaptive least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) estimator.

The Highly-Adaptive least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Targeted Minimum Loss Estimator (HAL-TMLE) is an efficient plug-in estimator of a pathwise differentiable parameter in a statistical model that at minimal (and possibly only) assumes that the sectional variation norm of the true nuisance functions (i.e., relevant part of data distribution) are finite.

One-step targeted maximum likelihood estimation for time-to-event outcomes.

Researchers in observational survival analysis are interested in not only estimating survival curve nonparametrically but also having statistical inference for the parameter. We consider right-censored failure time data where we observe n independent and identically distributed observations of a vector random variable consisting of baseline covariates, a binary treatment at baseline, a survival time subject to right censoring, and the censoring indicator. We assume the baseline covariates are allowed to affect the treatment and censoring so that an estimator that ignores covariate information would be inconsistent.

Differences between epithelial and mesenchymal human tongue cancer cell lines in experimental metastasis.

Distant metastasis represents the outcome with the worst prognosis for various types of malignant tumors, but little is known regarding the impact of interacting epithelial and mesenchymal phenotypic cancer cells within its etiopathogenesis. In a novel animal model, 48 male athymic Balb/c nude mice underwent subcutaneous and intravenous injection of human tongue cancer cell lines of green fluorescent mesenchymal and red fluorescent epithelial phenotypes, in order to visualize and monitor eventual phenotypic interaction in lung metastasis as well as experimental metastasis in and histopathological analyses. While the epithelial, but not the mesenchymal, phenotypic human tongue cancer cell line led to direct metastasis in the lungs when injected intravenously, neither of them, even when injected in combination, were able to establish distant metastasis.
