A causal link between circulating leukocytes and three major urologic cancers: a mendelian randomization investigation.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the influence of serum leukocytes on urologic cancers (UC) using observation-based investigations. In the present study, Mendelian randomization (MR) was employed to assess the link between leukocyte count (LC) and the risk of UC development.

Methods: Five LC and three major UC patient prognoses were obtained for MR analysis from genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

Gut microbiota deficiency ameliorates multiple myeloma and myeloma-related bone disease by Th17 cells in mice models.

Multiple myeloma, the second most common hematological tumor, is currently incurable. Multiple myeloma-related bone disease is a characteristic clinical symptom that seriously affects the survival and prognosis of patients. In recent years, gut microbiota has been shown to play an important role in the occurrence and development of multiple myeloma.

NORAD promotes multiple myeloma cell progression via BMP6/P-ERK1/2 axis.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is one of the most common tumors of the hematological system and remains incurable. Recent studies have shown that long noncoding RNA NORAD is a potential oncogene in a variety of tumors. However, the general biological role and clinical value of NORAD in MM remains unknown.

[Effect of elevated atmospheric CO concentration and temperature on volatile halogenated organic compound content in soils of and seedlings].

Global changes caused by the increases of atmospheric CO concentration and temperature have important effects on soil biogeochemical processes. The synthesis and release of volatile halogenated organic compounds (VOXs) is an important pathway for soil to participate in the global material cycle and energy flow. In this study, and seedlings in the southern subtropics were selected as the research objects.

BET in hematologic tumors: Immunity, pathogenesis, clinical trials and drug combinations.

The bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) proteins act as "readers" for lysine acetylation and facilitate the recruitment of transcriptional elongation complexes. BET protein is associated with transcriptional elongation of genes such as and , and is involved in the regulation of cell cycle and apoptosis. Meanwhile, BET inhibitors (BETi) have regulatory effects on immune checkpoints, immune cells, and cytokine expression.

Etiological and epidemiological features of acute meningitis or encephalitis in China: a nationwide active surveillance study.

Background: Acute meningitis or encephalitis (AME) results from a neurological infection causing high case fatality and severe sequelae. AME lacked comprehensive surveillance in China.

Methods: Nation-wide surveillance of all-age patients with AME syndromes was conducted in 144 sentinel hospitals of 29 provinces in China.

Etiological, epidemiological, and clinical features of acute diarrhea in China.

National-based prospective surveillance of all-age patients with acute diarrhea was conducted in China between 2009‒2018. Here we report the etiological, epidemiological, and clinical features of the 152,792 eligible patients enrolled in this analysis. Rotavirus A and norovirus are the two leading viral pathogens detected in the patients, followed by adenovirus and astrovirus.

Alisertib induces cell cycle arrest and autophagy and suppresses epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition involving PI3K/Akt/mTOR and sirtuin 1-mediated signaling pathways in human pancreatic cancer cells.

Pancreatic cancer is the most aggressive cancer worldwide with poor response to current therapeutics. Alisertib (ALS), a potent and selective Aurora kinase A inhibitor, exhibits potent anticancer effects in preclinical and clinical studies; however, the effect and underlying mechanism of ALS in the pancreatic cancer treatment remain elusive. This study aimed to examine the effects of ALS on cell growth, autophagy, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and to delineate the possible molecular mechanisms in human pancreatic cancer PANC-1 and BxPC-3 cells.

[Characteristics of PAHs in the atmosphere in winter and summer in the urban and suburban of Fuzhou].

Air samples from four sampling sites in urban and suburban in Fuzhou were collected by Hi-vol air samplers in winter and summer in 2010, and concentrations of PAHs were analyzed by GC-MSD. The total (particle and gas phase) PAHs concentrations in ambient air were in the range of 115.45-187.

[Influence of exogenous sulfur-containing compounds on the exchange fluxes of volatile organic sulfur compounds].

The influences of cysteine, sodium sulfide (Na2S) and sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) on the soil-air exchange fluxes of volatile organic sulfur compounds (VOSCs), including carbonyl sulfide (COS), dimethyl sulfide (DMS), carbon disulfide (CS2) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), were studied employing static chamber enclosure followed by laboratory determination using an Entech 7100 preconcentrator coupled with an Agilent 5973 GC-MSD. The results showed that after the addition of cysteine, the soil for the exchange fluxes of COS and CS2 shifted to be the source from sink and the emissions of DMS and DMDS increased significant. The emission amount of DMS and CS2 accounted for 89.

[Clinical research on clearance of leukemic cell during induction of remission therapy in children with precursor B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia].

Objective: To investigate the clinical value of clearance of leukemic cell during induction of remission therapy in children with precursor B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL), and to assess the applicative value of different indexes.

Method: From April 2005 to April 2008, 206 children with de novo BCP-ALL were admitted. We firstly analyzed the effect of clearance of leukemic cells during induction of remission therapy on relapse-free survival (RFS).
