Expression of transferrin receptor/TFRC protein in bladder cancer cell T24 and its role in inducing iron death in bladder cancer.

Bladder cancer (BC) is a very common malignant tumor in the urinary system. However, the incidence rate, recurrence rate, progression rate and metastasis rate of bladder cancer are still very high, leading to poor long-term prognosis of patients. This study was to investigate the expression of transferrin receptor/TFRC protein in bladder cancer tissue and its role in inducing iron death of T24 human bladder cancer cells.

Association Between Solid Fuel Use and the Risk of Hypertension in China.

Objective: The aim of the study is to assess the association between solid fuel use for cooking or heating and the risk of hypertension among individuals older than 45 years.

Methods: Baseline questionnaires were used to collect self-reported primary cooking and heating fuel usage. Outcomes were defined as the time of first diagnosis of hypertension.

Cognition and Behavior of COVID-19 Vaccination Based on the Health Belief Model: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Vaccination is the most effective method for the prevention of COVID-19. However, willingness to be vaccinated is not consistent. This study aimed to explore vaccine cognition, risk perception, and health behavior of COVID-19 in China.

[Optimal concentration of superparamagnetic iron oxide-short hairpin RNA dual functional molecular probe transfected into ovarian cancer cells in vitro].

Objective: To explore the effects of superparamagnetic iron oxide-short hairpin RNA (SPIO-ShRNA) dual functional molecular probes of different concentrations on morphology and biological behavior of ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells in vitro.

Methods: The dual functional molecular probes at an iron concentration of 5, 15, 30, 45, 75, and 100 mg/L were transfected into SKOV3 cells. The transfection rate of the probe was observed by fluorescence microscope.
