Corneal Biomechanical Characteristics and Correlation Analysis in Children With Different Refractive States.

To investigate the correlation between corneal biomechanical characteristics and refractive status in adolescents aged 5-13 years. A cross-sectional study involved 339 children aged 5-13 with a spherical equivalent (SE) range from -6.00 to +2.

FOXM1-Dependent Transcriptional Regulation of EZH2 Induces Proliferation and Progression in Prostate Cancer.

Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers and one of the most common causes of cancer-related deaths among men worldwide. Patients who are diagnosed with localized prostate cancer and treated with radical prostatectomy often respond well to therapy. The current standard therapy for prostate cancer involves maximal surgical resection, followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

BUB1B Promotes Proliferation of Prostate Cancer via Transcriptional Regulation of MELK.

Background: Prostate cancer remains one of the most common and deadliest forms of cancer, generally respond well to radical prostatectomy and associated interventions, up to 30% of individuals will suffer disease relapse. Although BUB1B was found to be essential for cell growth and proliferation, even in several kinds of tumor cells, the specific importance and mechanistic role of BUB1B in prostate cancer remain unclear.

Methods: Quantitative Real-Time PCR and Western-blot were used in the detection of mRNA and protein expression.
