Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers, with high rates of metastasis and lethality. EF-hand domain-containing protein D1 (EFHD1) and salt-inducible kinase 3 (SIK3) have been studied in several cancer types. Aberrant expression of EFHD1 and SIK3 has been observed in CRC, but little research has addressed their regulatory abilities and signaling pathways.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined how ferroptosis, a form of cell death, relates to the miR-223-3p/ITPR3 pathway in diabetic kidney disease (DKD).
  • Diabetic patients had higher levels of iron ions, calcium ions, and lipid peroxidation, with high glucose reducing miR-223-3p, which in turn impacted ferroptosis regulators.
  • Overexpressing miR-223-3p counteracted the adverse effects of high glucose on these markers and ITPR3, suggesting that targeting this pathway might offer new treatment options for DKD.

To investigate the impact of 3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene and their interaction on susceptibility to frailty in the elderly in rural areas of China Bai nationality. Taking the Bai people in Dali, China as the research object, and according to the frailty phenotype scale, there were 2 groups: frail and non-frail. Basic information about the study participants was gathered using a questionnaire.

Supervised person re-identification (ReID) has attracted widespread attentions in the computer vision community due to its great potential in real-world applications. However, the demand of human annotation heavily limits the application as it is costly to annotate identical pedestrians appearing from different cameras. Thus, how to reduce the annotation cost while preserving the performance remains challenging and has been studied extensively.

Diabetes, one of the most serious and common chronic metabolic diseases affecting people worldwide in the 21st century, has become a major problem that needs to be addressed urgently. This study was designed to elucidate the anti-diabetic effect of yak yogurt-derived () SHY130 on C57BL/6J mice fed high-fat diet and streptozotocin (HFD/STZ), and the potential regulatory mechanisms involved. Mice were divided into 3 groups: normal control, diabetes, and diabetes treated with SHY130 (SHY130).

With the increased incidence of diabetes, the number of diabetic patients who require surgical treatment is also increasing. Unfortunately, practices in this area lack standardisation. The purpose of this multidisciplinary, evidence-based guidelines for perioperative blood glucose management is to provide a comprehensive set of recommendations for clinicians treating diabetes with different types of surgery.

Objective: To analyze association between different perioperative glycemic control strategies and postoperative outcomes in patients with diabetes undergoing cardiac surgery.

Methods: MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, EMBASE, Wanfang Data, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and China Biology Medicine (CBM) databases were searched from inception to January 31, 2019. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the risk of bias of included studies, and consensus was reached by discussion with a third researcher.

Aims: To investigate the effect of preoperative HbA1c levels on the postoperative outcomes of coronary artery disease surgery in diabetic and nondiabetic patients.

Methods And Results: The MEDLINE (via PubMed), Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, Wanfang Data, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Chinese Biology Medicine (CBM) databases were used to search the effects of different preoperative HbA1c levels on the postoperative outcomes of coronary artery disease surgical treatment in diabetic and nondiabetic patients from inception to December 2018. Two review authors worked in an independent and duplicate manner to select eligible studies, extract data, and assess the risk of bias of the included studies.

Objective: Using the AMSTAR tool, this study evaluated the quality of systematic reviews (SRs) that assessed the efficacy of bariatric surgery in diabetic patients. We aimed to identify studies that can be used as clinical references.

Methods: Medline (via PubMed), EMBASE, Epistemonikos, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, and Wanfang Data were systematically searched from inception to December 31, 2017.

Spectrum sensing is one of the technologies that is used to solve the current problem of low utilization of spectrum resources. However, when the signal-to-noise ratio is low, current spectrum sensing methods cannot well-handle a situation in which the prior information of the licensed user signal is lacking. In this paper, a blind spectrum sensing method based on deep learning is proposed that uses three kinds of neural networks together, namely convolutional neural networks, long short-term memory, and fully connected neural networks.

Factors that may result in the occurrence of adverse clinical events in diabetic patients during the postoperative period are not entirely clear. This study evaluated factors that may cause adverse events following elective orthopedic or general surgery.Patients with diabetes who underwent orthopedic or general surgery between January 2010 and October 2015 were retrospectively selected from the General Hospital of People's Liberation Army database.

The genetic variation in Northern Asian populations is currently undersampled. To address this, we generated a new genetic variation reference panel by whole-genome sequencing of 175 ethnic Mongolians, representing six tribes. The cataloged variation in the panel shows strong population stratification among these tribes, which correlates with the diverse demographic histories in the region.

Background: Systematic review which analyzes the impact of different anesthesia on intraoperative blood glucose levels of diabetes patients.

Methods: We searched Medline (via PubMed), Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Wangfang, CNKI, and CBM database through June 2016, included in randomized controlled trial (RCT), about different anesthesia on intraoperative blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Two researchers in 1 group independently screened literatures with eligibility criteria, extracted information, and used RevMan5.

Unlabelled: Protein families are often represented by profile hidden Markov models (pHMMs). Homology between two distant protein families can be determined by comparing the pHMMs. Here we explored the idea of building a phylogeny of protein families using the distance matrix of their pHMMs.

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a fast-track mechanism that allows genetically unrelated organisms to exchange genes for rapid environmental adaptation. We developed a new phyletic distribution-based software, HGT-Finder, which implements a novel bioinformatics algorithm to calculate a horizontal transfer index and a probability value for each query gene. Applying this new tool to the Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus, and Aspergillus nidulans genomes, we found 273, 542, and 715 transferred genes (HTGs), respectively.

Article Synopsis
  • Bactrian camels, dromedaries, and alpacas are economically significant livestock with different environmental adaptations; camels thrive in deserts while alpacas prefer plateaus.
  • High-quality genome sequences of these species reveal their demographic history and show how population size fluctuated in relation to geological time.
  • The study highlights unique desert adaptations in camels, including specialized mechanisms for water retention and metabolism, suggesting evolutionary changes in kidney function to survive harsh climates.
