Aim: To identify up-regulated genes specific to human normal gastrointestinal tissues.
Methods: Study was made on human normal tissue gene expression database open to the public. Tissue-specific genes were identified using one-tailed student T test. Online software including Ingenuity and KEGG were applied for physiological function analyses. Unsupervised two-way hierarchical clustering method was used to analyze the expression profile of stomach-specific genes in gastric cancer gene expression datasets.
Results: The analyses identified 196 stomach-specific genes, 203 ileum-specific genes and 224 colon-specific genes, respectively. The gene expression profiles reflect major organ-specific physiological functions on the molecular level. Some putative oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes were found in the tissue-specific gene list. Hierarchical clustering analysis revealed that the stomach-specific genes were up-regulated in normal stomach tissues but down-regulated in stomach cancer tissues. The normal tissues clustered together, so did the cancer tissues. At the meantime, clustering could also distinguish the moderate and severe differentiated stomach cancer.
Conclusion: Human normal stomach, ileum and colon possess tissue-specific up-regulated genes, which are closely associated with physiological functions.

Long non-coding RNA NEAT1 promotes ovarian granulosa cell proliferation and cell cycle progression via the miR-29a-3p/IGF1 axis.

Background: Granulosa cell proliferation and survival are essential for normal ovarian function and follicular development. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as important regulators of cell proliferation and differentiation. Nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) has been implicated in various cellular processes, but its role in granulosa cell function remains unclear.

Though significant progress has been made towards malaria prevention and control in Nigeria, it is expected that the addition of new malaria prevention strategy, such as perennial malaria chemoprevention (PMC) can contribute to a more rapid decline in malaria cases. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with malaria and anaemia among children aged 2-18 months in Osun State.

Background: Measures of diagnostic test accuracy provide evidence of how well a test correctly identifies or rules-out disease. Commonly used diagnostic accuracy measures (DAMs) include sensitivity and specificity, predictive values, likelihood ratios, area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUROC), area under precision-recall curves (AUPRC), diagnostic effectiveness (accuracy), disease prevalence, and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) etc. Most available analysis tools perform accuracy testing for a single diagnostic test using summarized data.

Valorization of poultry waste is a significant challenge addressed in this study, which aimed to produce cost-effective and sustainable peptones from poultry waste. The isolation process yielded the highly potent proteolytic B.subtilis isolate P6, identified through 16S rRNA gene sequencing to share 94% similarity with the B.

This study aimed to determine the normal size of the male external genital organs and anogenital distance in human fetuses during the fetal period through the anatomic morphometric method. The study was performed on 104 spontaneously aborted human male fetuses aged between 10 and 39 weeks of gestation. Fetuses were divided into groups according to gestational weeks, months, and trimesters.
