Zinc finger protein 281 (ZNF281) has been shown to promote tumor progression. However, the underlying mechanism remains to be further elucidated. In this study, ZNF281 knockdown increased the expression of mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells, accompanied with increment of mitochondrial content, oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and levels of TCA cycle intermetabolites.

Methods: The expression of ZNF281 in HCC was detected in tissue microarray and cell lines. The role of ZNF281 in aggressiveness of HCC was examined using wound healing, matrigel transwell, pulmonary metastasis model and assays for expression of EMT markers.
This study aimed to investigate the current status and influencing factors of kinesiophobia in patients after insertion of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). A total of 240 patients with PICC were included. Their postinsertion status and influencing factors were investigated using the general information questionnaire, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire, Numerical Rating Scale, and Self-rating Anxiety Scale.

The nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mapping, N adsorption-desorption isotherms, photoluminescence spectra (PL), photocurrent, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The changes of physicochemical parameters are discussed in detail.
