Article Synopsis
- Identifying and replanting crops that accumulate low levels of heavy metals, particularly arsenic and cadmium, can lower health risks in agriculture.
- Current research primarily focuses on single heavy metal accumulation in specific crop types, leaving gaps in understanding how different crops accumulate these metals collectively.
- This study combined literature analysis and field surveys to create a priority planting list for low-accumulation crops, showing that rice poses a higher risk for heavy metal accumulation compared to other crops, and recommending practices for safer agricultural production.
Impact of smoking and alcohol drinking on the prognosis of 721 nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Braz J Otorhinolaryngol
November 2024
Objective: This study aimed to examine the correlation between smoking, alcohol drinking, and the prognosis of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC).
Methods: Clinical data from 721 NPC cases treated at our hospital between January 2005 and December 2010 were collected. Information on smoking and drinking, including duration, daily quantity, and cumulative amount, was recorded and graded according to WHO standards.
Article Synopsis
- - The study shows that adding substances like pomace, biochar, and MnO, along with bacterial communication, helps turn toxic manures and agricultural waste into safe organic fertilizers through a composting process.
- - Results indicate that composting enhances beneficial bacteria, improves chemical properties, reduces toxicity, and boosts seed germination and plant growth.
- - Overall, the findings offer an effective and cost-efficient way to recycle waste into plant-friendly fertilizers, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices.
Application of lateral supraclavicular incision in unilateral thyroid papillary carcinoma surgery.
Braz J Otorhinolaryngol
December 2022
Introduction: The standard approach to thyroidectomy is a collar incision via the anterior neck, and the neck scar has always been a source of worry for patients. Acceptable wound cosmetology has become a focus for thyroid surgeons.
Objective: To verify the effectiveness and cosmetic results of thyroidectomy through a lateral supraclavicular incision.
Effects of Curcumin on Epidermal Growth Factor in Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy.
Cell Physiol Biochem
August 2018
Background/aims: Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a common refractory eye disease that causes blindness and occurs after retinal detachment or retinal reattachment. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) has been shown to play an important role in the migration and proliferation of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells, which promote PVR. Curcumin inhibits RPE cell proliferation, but it is not known whether it participates in the formation of PVR.

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on breast cancer by exploring the potential underlying molecular mechanisms. The expression profile of GSE43306, which refers to MDA-MB-231 cells with or without a 1:1 ratio of MSCs, was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus database for differentially expressed gene (DEG) screening.

The loss of surface expression of HLA-I molecules is particularly important as this enables tumor cells to evade recognition and lysis by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. Transcriptional control of the APM genes is regulated by the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB).

The aim of this study was to assess the clinical significance of the APM components [transporters associated with antigen processing (TAP)-1 and -2 and HLA-I] in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). A total of 58 NPC specimens and 20 healthy specimens used as control were evaluated by semiquantitative immunohistochemistry for three APM components (TAP-1, TAP-2 and HLA-I).

Objective: To study the relationship between 637A/G gene polymorphisms of the transporter associated with antigen processing 1 gene and nasopharyngeal carcinomas (NPC) and to find out the susceptible genes of NPC in Han population in Yunnan Province, China.
Methods: Two hundred and thirty-three cases with NPC and 296 cases matched cancer-free controls were genotyped for the TAP1 637A/G polymorphism by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Epstein-Barr virus infection was detected by PCR.
[Cyclin D1 gene G870A polymorphism and susceptibility to nasopharyngeal carcinoma].

March 2009
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the susceptibility and prognostic implications of the cyclin D1 gene (CCND1) G870A polymorphism to nasopharyngeal carcinomas (NPC) in Han population in Yunnan China.
Methods: Two hundred and forty one cases with NPC and 271 matched cancer-free controls were genotyped for the CCND1 G870A polymorphism by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and sequencing. The adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated by using unconditional logistic regression model.
