Constructing a Nomogram for Predicting Pelvic Osteosarcoma: A Retrospective Study Based on the SEER Database and a Chinese Cohort.

Generally, pelvic osteosarcoma has a worse prognosis compared with limb osteosarcoma. This study aims to create and validate a new nomogram for predicting the prognosis of pelvic osteosarcoma. Clinical data of 62 patients derived from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and 31 Chinese patients diagnosed with pelvic osteosarcoma were gathered.

Removal, accumulation, and micro-ecosystem impacts of typical POPs in bioretention systems with different media: A runoff infiltration study.

Bioretention systems prove effective in purifying common persistent organic pollutants (POPs) found in urban rainfall runoff. However, the response process of the microecosystem in the media becomes unclear when POPs accumulate in bioretention systems. In this study, we constructed bioretention systems and conducted simulated rainfall tests to elucidate the evolution of micro-ecosystems within the media under typical POPs pollution.

Accumulation of typical persistent organic pollutants and heavy metals in bioretention facilities: Distribution, risk assessment, and microbial community impact.

Bioretention facilities have proven highly effective in removing pollutants from runoff. However, there is a concerning paucity of research on the contamination characteristics and associated risks posed by refractory pollutants in these facilities following long-term operation. This research focuses on the distribution, sources, microbial community impact, and human health risks of pollutants in eight bioretention facilities that have been operational for 5-11 years.

Circular RNA hsa_circ_0051246 acts as a microRNA-375 sponge to promote the progression of gastric cancer stem cells YAP1.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) stem cells play an important role in GC progression. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) act as microRNA (miRNA) sponges and inhibit the biological function of miRNAs in GC cytoplasm. MiRNAs also participate in GC progress.

Pharmacological Mechanism of Sancao Yuyang Decoction in the Treatment of Oral Mucositis Based on Network Pharmacology and Experimental Validation.

Purpose: The network pharmacology analysis, molecular docking and experimental verification were performed to explore the pharmacological mechanisms of Sancao Yuyang Decoction (SCYYD) in the treatment of oral mucositis (OM).

Methods: Active ingredients in SCYYD and their potential targets, as well as OM-related targets were screened from public databases. The core targets and signaling pathways of SCYYD against OM were determined by protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis.

Research of the Active Components and Potential Mechanisms of Qingfei Gujin Decoction in the Treatment of Osteosarcoma Based on Network Pharmacology and Molecular Docking Technology.

Aim: Qingfei Gujin Decoction (QGD) has been shown to be effective against osteosarcoma. This research was aimed at investigating the main active ingredients and potential mechanisms of QGD acting on osteosarcoma through network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques.

Methods: The active ingredients and targets of QGD were screened from the TCMSP database, and the predicted targets were obtained from the PharmMapper database.

Soothing liver-qi stagnation method for cancer-related depression: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Cancer-related depression (CRD) is the most common mood disorder in patients with malignant tumors, negatively influencing the patient's daily life. Traditional Chinese medicine, as an alternative CRD therapy, has shown good treatment performance in recently years. Soothing liver-qi stagnation, as a classic therapy for depression, is based on traditional Chinese medicine theory.

Comprehensive Analysis of a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA Network to Reveal Potential Inflammation-Related Targets for Gastric Adenocarcinoma.

Gastric cancer (GC) is the most common malignancy of the stomach. This study was aimed at elucidating the regulatory network of circRNA-miRNA-mRNA and identifying the precise inflammation-related targets in GC. The expression profiles of GSE83521, GSE78091, and GSE33651 were obtained from the GEO database.

Associations between interleukin gene polymorphisms and the risk of gastric cancer: A meta-analysis.

Recently, the roles of interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-6 and IL-8 gene polymorphisms in gastric cancer (GC) have been studied extensively, with conflicting results. Therefore, we conducted the present meta-analyses to better elucidate the roles of interleukin gene polymorphisms in GC. Eligible articles were searched in PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science and CNKI.

[Analysis on metabolites with small molecule of serum in bone marrow suppression model mice with metabolomics method].

Bone marrow suppression is a common symptom in patients with malignant tumor after chemotherapy. Studying the changes of metabolites caused by bone marrow depression can provide insights for the diagnosis of bone marrow suppression disease and for the development of drug therapy. Male BalB/C mice were injected with cyclophosphamide to establish a bone marrow suppression model.

pMOSFETs Featuring ALD W Filling Metal Using SiH and BH Precursors in 22 nm Node CMOS Technology.

In this paper, pMOSFETs featuring atomic layer deposition (ALD) tungsten (W) using SiH and BH precursors in 22 nm node CMOS technology were investigated. It is found that, in terms of threshold voltage, driving capability, carrier mobility, and the control of short-channel effects, the performance of devices featuring ALD W using SiH is superior to that of devices featuring ALD W using BH. This disparity in device performance results from different metal gate-induced strain from ALD W using SiH and BH precursors, i.

Integration of Highly Strained SiGe in Source and Drain with HK and MG for 22 nm Bulk PMOS Transistors.

In this study, the integration of SiGe selective epitaxy on source/drain regions and high-k and metal gate for 22 nm node bulk pMOS transistors has been presented. Selective Si Ge growth (0.35 ≤ × ≤ 0.

High-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) used as an adjunct with other chemotherapeutics for the treatment of osteosarcoma.

The objective of this study is to evaluate retrospectively the effectiveness of multiple-drug chemotherapeutics regimen that included high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) for treating primary osteosarcoma. 148 newly diagnosed patients with Stage I and II osteosarcoma who received HD-MTX/HD-MTX/DDP(cisplatin)/ADM(doxorubicin) and/or HD-MTX/IFO(Ifosfamide)/DDP/ADM before and after the surgery were retrospectively analyzed to measure the efficacy of this regimen. The significance of various variables as predictive prognostic factors of the patient survival rate was also evaluated.
