Some researchers have proposed that the abbreviated MRI (AMRI) protocols have potential as a surveillance tool. However, few studies have compared multiple AMRI protocols with complete Gd-EOB-DTPA contrast-enhanced MRI for HCC surveillance.

Newly estimated disability weights for 196 health states in Hubei Province, China.

The transcription factor CREB regulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition of lens epithelial cells by phosphorylation-dependent and phosphorylation-independent mechanisms.

Epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) of lens epithelial cells (LECs) is one of the most important pathogenic mechanisms in lens fibrotic disorders, and the regulatory mechanisms of EMT have not been fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that the cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB) can regulate lens EMT in a phosphorylation-dependent and phosphorylation-independent manners with dual mechanisms. First, CREB-S133 phosphorylation is implicated in TGFβ-induced EMT of mouse LECs and also in injury-induced mouse anterior subcapsular cataract model.

Neural and gaze pattern responses to happy faces in autism: Predictors of adaptive difficulties and re-evaluation of the social motivation hypothesis.

Background: The "Social Motivation" hypothesis posits that social deficits in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) arise from altered reward perception. However, few studies have examined neural and behavioral responses to social reward-related cues in low functioning ASD children with limited cognitive or language abilities.

Objective: This study investigated if young children with ASD show atypical gaze towards happy faces and its association with altered brain reward responses.

Targeting spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK): structure, mechanisms and drug discovery.

Spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) is a crucial non-receptor tyrosine kinase involved in signaling pathways that regulate various cellular processes. It is primarily expressed in hematopoietic cells and myeloid cells, which are crucial for B-cell development, maturation and antibody production, and it is a key therapeutic target for autoimmune and allergic diseases. Overexpression of SYK is also associated with cancer and cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, contributing to their initiation and progression.
