DNA replication is a complex and crucial biological process in eukaryotes. To facilitate the study of eukaryotic replication events, we present a database of eukaryotic DNA replication origins (DeOri), which collects genome-wide data on eukaryotic DNA replication origins currently available. With the rapid development of high-throughput experimental technology in recent years, the number of datasets in the new release of DeOri 10.

Background: During cardiac surgery, right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) is defined as an instantaneous pressure difference ≥ 6 mm Hg between right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP), for ≥ 5 minutes. Risk factors for RVOTO remain poorly understood. This cohort study was designed to evaluate the incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of the patients who experienced RVOTO.

Background: Surgical intervention involving the pancreas can lead to impaired glucose tolerance and other types of endocrine dysfunction. The scope of pancreatectomy and whether it includes the ventral pancreas are the key factors in the development of postoperative diabetes. The ventral and dorsal pancreases are almost separated in ().

Objective: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in cardiac surgery can lead to RV failure, which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Abnormal RV function can be identified using RV pressure monitoring. The primary objective of the study is to determine the proportion of patients with abnormal RV early to end-diastole diastolic pressure gradient (RVDPG) and abnormal RV end-diastolic pressure (RVEDP) before initiation and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) separation.

This study aims to investigate whether baicalin induces ferroptosis in HepG2 cells and decipher the underlying mechanisms based on network pharmacology and cell experiments. HepG2 cells were cultured in vitro and the cell viability was detected by the cell counting kit-8(CCK-8). The transcriptome data of hepatocellular carcinoma were obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA), and the ferroptosis gene data from FerrDb V2.

Patients with bone metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) might benefit from radium-223 (Ra) combined with new-generation hormonal agents (NHAs) in terms of survival and quality of life (QoL). However, the safety of combination therapies remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to perform a network meta-analysis by reviewing the literature about the combination of Ra with abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (AAP) or enzalutamide and to evaluate the safety of combination therapy in bone mCRPC patients.

Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) is a rare cause of hemodynamic instability in the intensive care unit (ICU) after cardiac surgery. We report the first cases of RVOTO diagnosed in the ICU using continuous right ventricular pressure waveform monitoring. Our 2 cases reflect both mechanical and dynamic causes of obstruction, each of which require different approaches to treatment.

Background: Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) is a cause of hemodynamic instability that can occur in several situations, including cardiac surgery, lung transplantation, and thoracic surgery, and in critically ill patients. The timely diagnosis of RVOTO is important because it requires specific considerations, including the adverse effects of positive inotropes, and depending on the etiology, the requirement for urgent surgical intervention.

Methods: The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the prevalence of RVOTO in adult patients, and the distribution of all reported cases by etiology.

Dynamic right ventricular outflow tract obstruction is rare in the cardiac surgical population. Significant obstruction developing in the perioperative period can contribute to systemic hemodynamic instability. We describe 2 cases of dynamic right ventricular outflow tract obstruction that developed immediately after separation from cardiopulmonary bypass, due to temporary right ventricular epicardial pacing.

Ultrafine CoO particles immobilized into the mesopores of three-dimensional cubic bimodal ordered mesoporous carbon CMK-9 is successfully prepared by using a combination of nanocasting and wet-impregnation methods. It is found that the cubic bimodal interconnected mesoporous framework of CMK-9 plays a crucial role in achieving the excellent electrochemical performances by assisting the rapid mass and charge transfer. Among the prepared nanocomposites, CoO(10)@CMK-9 delivers a discharge capacity of 830 mAh g after 200 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g in lithium-ion batteries.

Akt activation has been implicated broadly in tumorigenesis, but the basis for its dysregulation in cancer cells is incompletely understood. In this study, we sought to clarify a regulatory role for the Akt-binding carboxy-terminal modulator protein (CTMP), which has been controversial. In evaluating CTMP expression in paired normal-tumor specimens of 198 patients with breast cancer, we found that CTMP was upregulated in breast tumors, where it was associated with poor patient survival.
