Background: The anti-inflammatory effect of exercise may be an underlying factor in improving several autoimmune diseases. The aim of this systematic review was to examine the evidence on the role of exercise training in mitigating inflammation in adolescents and adults with autoimmune disease.

Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases were systematically reviewed for related studies published between January 1, 2003, and August 31, 2023.

Purpose: The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage remains the standard staging system for the assessment of endometrial cancer (EC) prognosis. Thus, we aim to identify the significant genes or biomarkers associated with the stage of endometrial cancer, which may also help reveal the mechanism of EC progression and assess the prognosis of patients with EC.

Materials And Methods: We compared the mRNA expression levels of EC patients with stages I and II as well as stages III and IV in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.

In order to prioritize available immune therapeutics, immune profiling across glioma grades was conducted, followed by preclinical determinations of therapeutic effect in immune-competent mice harboring gliomas. T cells and myeloid cells were isolated from the blood of healthy donors and the blood and tumors from patients with glioma and profiled for the expression of immunomodulatory targets with an available therapeutic. Murine glioma models were used to assess therapeutic efficacy of agents targeting the most frequently expressed immune targets.

Background: Cervical cancer (CC), which has been increasing in incidence in recent years, is the fourth most common gynecological cancer in the world. Therapy targeting T cell immunoglobulin mucin-3 (Tim-3), known as the immune checkpoint, has been rapidly developing as oncotherapy for various carcinomas. However, few studies focus on Tim-3 in CC in terms of patient prognosis.

Data gathering is a fundamental task in Wireless Visual Sensor Networks (WVSNs). Features of directional antennas and the visual data make WVSNs more complex than the conventional Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The virtual backbone is a technique, which is capable of constructing clusters.

This study describes a method for the quantification of trace-level benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene in cellulose acetate tow by heart-cutting multidimensional gas chromatography with mass spectrometry in selected ion monitoring mode. As the major volatile component in cellulose acetate tow samples, acetone would be overloaded when attempting to perform a high-resolution separation to analyze trace benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene. With heart-cutting technology, a larger volume injection was achieved and acetone was easily cut off by employing a capillary column with inner diameter of 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers found that the human RTVP-1 gene, which is related to p53, can induce cell death (apoptosis) in human prostate cancer cells.
  • They observed that RTVP-1 expression is lower in human prostate cancer samples compared to normal tissue at both the mRNA and protein levels.
  • The study also suggests that RTVP-1 may act as a tumor suppressor in prostate cancer due to specific epigenetic changes associated with its regulation.
