Perioperative complication incidence and risk factors for retroperitoneal neuroblastoma in children: analysis of 571 patients.

Background: Surgery plays an important role in the treatment of neuroblastoma. Perioperative complications may impact the course of neuroblastoma treatment. To date, comprehensive analyses of complications and risk factors have been lacking.

Bioremediation of a saline-alkali soil polluted with Zn using ryegrass associated with Fusariumincarnatum.

Biotechnological strategies have become effective in the remediation of polluted soils as they are cost-effective and do not present a risk of secondary pollution. However, using a single bioremediation technique (microorganism or plant) is not suitable for achieving a high remediation rate of polluted saline-alkali soils with heavy metals. Therefore, the present study aims to assess the effects and mechanisms of combined ryegrass and Fusarium incarnatum on the zinc (Zn)-polluted saline-alkali soil over 45 days.

Screening of xylene degrading bacteria and optimization of their degradation characteristics in heavily polluted areas.

Aiming at the problems of high xylene concentration and difficult removal in heavily polluted areas, high-efficient degrading bacteria of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) xylene in heavily polluted areas were selected and screened from sewage sludge, and their degradation characteristics were studied. The response surface methodology (RSM) optimized the optimal degradation conditions. The results showed that the screened degrading strain was identified as by the 16SrDNA technology and named H-16.

Potential exploration of FeO/biochar from sludge as the media of bioretention system and its comparison with conventional media.

The selection and configuration of soil media are a core issue of the bioretention system. A porous carbon material of FeO/biochar (BSF) was prepared by adding pickling wastewater to modified sludge biochar, which could serve as a good adsorption performance and cheap media for bioretention system. Through the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), different media were evaluated according to their characteristics.

Long noncoding RNA DLGAP1-AS2 facilitates Wnt1 transcription through physically interacting with Six3 and drives the malignancy of gastric cancer.

The long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) DLGAP1-AS2 has recently been characterized as an oncogenic lncRNA in several cancers. However, its biological roles and clinical significance in gastric cancer (GC) remains barely understood. In this study, we performed a systematic analysis of DLGAP1-AS2 expression with data from the TCGA and GEO database as well as our clinic GC samples.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Retroperitoneal Infection.

Retroperitoneal infection is a persistent and widespread infectious disease that is difficult to treat. It is usually caused by secondary complications such as inflammation, damage, or perforation of adjacent organs in the retroperitoneal space. Pathogenic bacteria invade the retroperitoneal space through retroperitoneal and interstitial organs, peripheral tissue, and the blood.

PINK1-mediated mitophagy protects against hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury by restraining NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Activation of nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat containing family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in Kupffer cells (KCs) contributes significantly to hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, while the mechanism of how NLRP3 inflammasome is regulated remains less well defined. Recent evidence has showed that mitophagy acts as a central player for maintaining mitochondrial homeostatis through elimination of damaged mitochondria, leading to the prevention of hyperinflammation triggered by NLRP3 activation. In this study, we aimed at investigating the potential role of PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1)-mediated mitophagy in hepatic I/R injury.

Long noncoding RNA ARHGAP27P1 inhibits gastric cancer cell proliferation and cell cycle progression through epigenetically regulating p15 and p16.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as important regulators in the development and progression of gastric cancer (GC). ARHGAP27P1 is a pseudogene-derived lncRNA, and it has been found to be associated with GC in our preliminary study, but this association has not been studied further. Herein, we confirmed that ARHGAP27P1 was significantly downregulated in GC tissues, plasma and cells.
