Impact of Replacing Sedentary Behavior with Physical Activity and Sleep on Stroke Risk: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Objective: Our research explores how leisure-time sedentary behavior (SB) correlates with stroke risk. Additionally, we utilize the isotemporal substitution model (ISM) to examine how replacing brief durations of leisure-time SB with light physical activity (LPA), moderate physical activity (MPA), vigorous physical activity (VPA), and sleep might influence the risk of stroke.

Methods: This investigation tracked 478,198 participants from the UK Biobank.

mTOR inhibition overcomes RSK3-mediated resistance to BET inhibitors in small cell lung cancer.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a recalcitrant malignancy with limited treatment options. Bromodomain and extraterminal domain inhibitors (BETis) have shown promising preclinical activity in SCLC, but the broad sensitivity spectrum limits their clinical prospects. Here, we performed unbiased high-throughput drug combination screens to identify therapeutics that could augment the antitumor activities of BETis in SCLC.

Targeting β-tubulin/CCT-β complex induces apoptosis and suppresses migration and invasion of highly metastatic lung adenocarcinoma.

Metastasis, the movement of cancer cells from one site to another, is responsible for the highest number of cancer deaths, especially in lung cancer patients. In this study, we first identified a prognostic marker of lung adenocarcinoma, TCP-1 β subunit (chaperonin-containing TCP-1β; CCT-β). We showed a compound that disrupted the interaction of CCT-β with β-tubulin killed a highly metastatic non-small cell lung cancer cell line CL1-5 through inducing Endoplasmic reticulum stress and caspases activation.

The influence of delay elimination communication on the prevalence of primary nocturnal enuresis-a survey from Mainland China.

Aims: A pilot survey shows that primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE) prevalence has increased significantly during the past decade in Mainland China. Whether it is related to the delay of elimination communication (EC) is unclear. This study retrospectively investigated the influence of delayed EC on the PNE prevalence in children and adolescents in mainland China.

Perceived stress and depression amongst older stroke patients: Sense of coherence as a mediator?

Objective: This study aimed to explore the relationship between perceived stress, sense of coherence, and depression among older stroke patients.

Methods: A demographic questionnaire, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC) and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) were distributed to 3000 older stroke patients from Neurology wards in six large general hospitals, and 2907 individuals completed the survey. Data analysis consisted of correlation, multiple linear regression, and structural equation modeling.

Highly sensitive fluorogenic sensing of L-Cysteine in live cells using gelatin-stabilized gold nanoparticles decorated graphene nanosheets.

A highly sensitive and selective fluorogenic sensing of L-Cysteine (L-Cys) was implemented based on gelatin stabilized gold nanoparticles decorated reduced graphene oxide (rGO/Au) nanohybrid. The rGO/Au nanohybrid was prepared by the one-pot hydrothermal method and well characterized by different physiochemical techniques. The nanohybrid exhibits a weak fluorescence of rGO due to the energy transfer from the rGO to Au NPs.

Psychometric Assessment of the Depressive Cognition Scale Among Older Chinese People.

The study aimed to translate the Depressive Cognition Scale (DCS) into Chinese and to test its reliability and validity among Chinese older people. Using a cross-sectional design, a demographic questionnaire and Chinese versions of the Depressive Cognition Scale (DCS-CHI) and the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D) were administered. The sample consisted of 1673 older people who were from communities and hospitals.

Disrupting CCT-β : β-tubulin selectively kills CCT-β overexpressed cancer cells through MAPKs activation.

We have previously demonstrated the ability of I-Trp to disrupt the protein-protein interaction of β-tubulin with chaperonin-containing TCP-1β (CCT-β). This caused more severe apoptosis in multidrug-resistant MES-SA/Dx5, compared to MES-SA, due to its higher CCT-β overexpression. In this study, we screened a panel of cancer cell lines, finding CCT-β overexpression in the triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231, colorectal cancer cell lines Colo205 and HCT116, and a gastric cancer cell line MKN-45.

Synergistic inhibition of leukemia WEHI-3 cell growth by arsenic trioxide and Willd extract and .

Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is clinically used to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL); however, the therapeutic dose of ATO may prompt critical cardiac side effects. Combination therapy may be used to improve the therapeutic efficiency. To evaluate this possibility, the present study determined the combined effects of Willd (HDW) extract and ATO in leukemic WEHI-3 cells.

Psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Self-Efficacy for Appropriate Medication Use Scale in patients with stroke.

Background: It has been reported that stroke has a higher incidence and mortality rate in the People's Republic of China compared to the global average. These conditions can be managed by proper medication use, but ensuring medication adherence is challenging.

Objective: To translate the Self-Efficacy for Appropriate Medication Use Scale into Chinese and test its validity and reliability in patients with stroke.

Evaluating ECG-aided tip localization of peripherally inserted central catheter in patients with cancer.

Objective: To evaluate ECG-aided tip localization of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in the patients with cancer.

Methods: Between September and December 2014, 170 patients undergoing PICC were divided into observation group and control group (each group with 85 patients). In observation group, patients received ECG-aided tip localization of PICC.

Comparison of Pressure- and Volume-Controlled Ventilation in Laparoscopic Surgery: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: Volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) has been the traditional mechanical ventilation mode in laparoscopic surgery. Pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) has been used more frequently in recent years, especially for patients with complicated conditions; however, evidence on whether PCV is superior to VCV is still lacking. A meta-analysis was used to compare the effects of PCV and VCV on respiratory and hemodynamic parameters during laparoscopic surgery.

Computed tomography image analysis before and after treatment of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated pulmonary interstitial fibrosis in 8 patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to observe the treatment response of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated pulmonary interstitial fibrosis in 8 patients before and after glucocorticoid or immunosuppressive therapy.

Methods: The clinical features and computed tomography imaging findings of the 8 patients in our hospital from October 2011 to October 2013, were retrospectively analyzed.

Findings: Mean age of the 8 patients was 72.

CCT327 enhances TRAIL-induced apoptosis through the induction of death receptors and downregulation of cell survival proteins in TRAIL-resistant human leukemia cells.

Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis‑inducing ligand (TRAIL) has potential application in cancer therapy and it has the ability to selectively kill cancer cells without affecting normal cells. However, the development of resistance to TRAIL in cancer cells cannot be avoided. This study investigated the effects of 2-(5-methylselenophen‑2‑yl)‑6,7‑methylenedioxyquinolin‑4-one (CCT327), an analogue of quinolin-4-one, on the sensitization of cancer cells to TRAIL and on TRAIL‑induced apoptosis in TRAIL‑resistance human leukemia cells (HL60‑TR).
