Circular RNA_0000326 accelerates breast cancer development via modulation of the miR-9-3p/YAP1 axis.

Circular RNA (circ)_0000326 has been reported in bladder cancer and cervical cancer and is concerned to be involved with the development of cancerous cells. Whereas, there have been no reports concentrating on the influences of circ_0000326 in breast cancer (BC). Therefore, the latent modulatory mechanisms of circ_0000326 in BC are researched.

CsY(SO)·4HO: A Deep-Ultraviolet Birefringent Crystal Induced by an Edge-Sharing Connection.

SO tetrahedral groups have weak polarization anisotropy, which thus results in the small birefringence of sulfates. Here, we report new sulfate CsY(SO)·4HO with unprecedented birefringence among deep-ultraviolet (deep-UV) sulfates. Its single crystal (10 mm × 3.

Bacterial Translocation Associates With Aggression in Schizophrenia Inpatients.

Accumulating evidence indicates that inflammation abnormalities may contribute to aggression behaviors in psychotic patients, however, the possible sources of inflammation remain elusive. We aimed to evaluate the associations among aggression, inflammation, and bacterial translocation (BT) in aggression-affected schizophrenia (ScZ) inpatients with 2 weeks of antipsychotics discontinuation. Serum specimens collected from 112 aggression and 112 non-aggression individuals with ScZ and 56 healthy adults were used for quantifications of inflammation- or BT-related biomarkers.

Paediatric oncology ward nurses' experiences of patients' deaths in China: A qualitative study.

Background: Considering cancer death is second only to accidental death in the number of lives claimed each year,nurses in paediatric oncology wards often experience helplessness, sadness, frustration and such other adverse emotions when they witness children's death due to cancer.However,there is a lack of qualitative studies on nurses who witness the death of children in paediatric oncology wards in China.

Method: A qualitative study was conducted using a semi-structured interview guide with 22 paediatric oncology ward nurses.

Ag-Modified ZnO Nanorod Array Fabricated on Polyester Fabric and Its Enhanced Visible-Light Photocatalytic Performance by a Built-in Electric Field and Plasmonic Effect.

ZnO nanorod arrays (NRAs) were fabricated on polyester fabrics (PFs) by a two-step method and modified with Ag by magnetron sputtering. The photogenerated charge transport properties of the Ag/ZnO nanorod heterojunctions were studied by a self-made Kelvin probe system and a surface photovoltage (SPV) test system. The measured work functions (WFs) of the deposited Ag and ZnO nanorod are 4.

Comparison of Focused Ultrasound Surgery and Hysteroscopic Resection for Treatment of Submucosal Uterine Fibroids (FIGO Type 2).

The aim of the study described here was to compare the effectiveness of focused ultrasound surgery (FUS), which uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to perform tissue ablation, with that of hysteroscopic transcervical resection of myoma (TCRM) for the treatment of type 2 submucosal fibroids. A prospective cohort study was performed in patients who underwent FUS or TCRM from January 2012 to December 2014. Uterine Fibroid Symptom (UFS) and Quality of Life (QoL) questionnaires were used to measure fibroid-related symptoms and quality of life before and at 3, 6 and 12 mo after treatment.
