Influence of early fluid overload on bronchopulmonary dysplasia in very low-birth-weight infants.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the influence of fluid overload on bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in very low-birth-weight infants (VLBWI) within 1 week after birth.

Methods: This was a retrospective case control study conducted in the Jingzhou Central Hospital. The clinical data of VLBWI (with a birth weight [BW] < 1,500 g and 26 weeks ≤ gestational age [GA] < 32 weeks) who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of this hospital from January 2016 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively.

TP53 R249S mutation detected in circulating tumour DNA is associated with Prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma patients with or without hepatectomy.

Background And Aims: Somatic mutation R249S in TP53 is highly common in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We aim to investigate the effects of R249S in ctDNA on the prognosis of HCC.

Methods: We analysed three cohorts including 895 HCC patients.

Genetic polymorphisms in apoptosis-related genes and the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.

The apoptotic pathway is important in the control of vital processes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In the current study, we aimed to determine whether apoptotic gene-related polymorphisms modified HCC prognosis. We genotyped 16 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 10 core genes (TP53, TP53INP1, TP53BP1, CDKN2A, CDKN1A, CDKN1B, MDM2, BAX, CCDN1 and BCL2) in the apoptotic pathway by using DNA from blood samples of 362 HCC patients receiving surgical resection of HCC tumor.

Effects of intravenous bolus injection of emulsified isoflurane on QTc interval of healthy volunteers in Pharmacokinetics study.

Emulsified isoflurane is a novel intravenous anesthetic, which is a lipid emulsion of isoflurane. As some drugs have a QTc-prolongation effect which can increase a risk of arrhythmia, this study was to evaluate the effects of emulsified isoflurane on the QTc interval. This was a single-center, randomized, single-blind, non-comparative study.

[Effect of single doses of HX0507 on QTc intervals in healthy people: a phase I safety and tolerability study].

Objective: To assess the effect of HX0507 on QTc interval in healthy people in a phase I safety and tolerability study.

Methods: Eighty healthy people were randomly assigned to one of the 13 dosage groups. Standard 12-lead ECGs data were collected before and after HX0507, a water soluble prodrug of propofol, was given intravenously to the participants (at 33 time points).

Calcium-sensing receptor regulates stomatal closure through hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide in response to extracellular calcium in Arabidopsis.

The Arabidopsis calcium-sensing receptor CAS is a crucial regulator of extracellular calcium-induced stomatal closure. Free cytosolic Ca(2+) (Ca(2+)(i)) increases in response to a high extracellular calcium (Ca(2+)(o)) level through a CAS signalling pathway and finally leads to stomatal closure. Multidisciplinary approaches including histochemical, pharmacological, fluorescent, electrochemical, and molecular biological methods were used to discuss the relationship of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and nitric oxide (NO) signalling in the CAS signalling pathway in guard cells in response to Ca(2+)(o).
