Correlations of the expression of Cx43, SCF, p-cyclin E1 (Ser73), p-cyclin E1 (Thr77) and p-cyclin E1 (Thr395) in colon cancer tissues.

World J Gastrointest Oncol

January 2025

Department of Orthopaedics, Air Force Hospital of Eastern Theater, Anhui Medical University, Nanjing 230032, Jiangsu Province, China.

Background: Previous cellular studies have demonstrated that elevated expression of Cx43 promotes the degradation of cyclin E1 and inhibits cell proliferation through ubiquitination. Conversely, reduced expression results in a loss of this capacity to facilitate cyclin E degradation. The ubiquitination and degradation of cyclin E1 may be associated with phosphorylation at specific sites on the protein, with Cx43 potentially enhancing this process by facilitating the phosphorylation of these critical residues

Aim: To investigate the correlation between expression of Cx43, SKP1/Cullin1/F-box (SCF), p-cyclin E1 (ser73, thr77, thr395) and clinicopathological indexes in colon cancer.

Echocardiography of the right heart in pulmonary arterial hypertension: insights from the ULTRA RIGHT VALUE study.

Eur Heart J Imaging Methods Pract

January 2025

Department of Clinical Internal, Anesthesiological and Cardiovascular Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Viale del Policlinico 155, Rome 00161, Italy.

Aims: Outcome in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is determined by right ventricular (RV) function adaptation to increased afterload. Echocardiography is easily available to assist bedside evaluation of the RV. However, no agreement exists about the feasibility and most relevant measurements.

Background: The 'univentricular' heart encompasses a variety of congenital cardiac defects characterized by a single functional ventricle and an underdeveloped ventricular chamber. Surgical intervention, typically in infancy or childhood, aims to regulate pulmonary blood flow volume. In adulthood, untreated patients may experience limitations in physical activity and elevated morbidity due to persistent cyanosis and arrhythmias, notably after the Fontan procedure.

Introduction: As part of an exploratory and hypothesis-generating study, we developed the Sports Preference Questionnaire (SPOQ) to survey the athletic behavior of mentally ill children and adolescents, subjectively assessed physical fitness and perceived psychological effects of physical activity.

Methods: In a department of child and adolescent psychiatry, we classified 313 patients (6-18 years) according to their primary psychiatric diagnosis. The patients or-in the parental version of the questionnaire-their parents reported their sport preferences on the SPOQ.

Developing nations like Ethiopia face food and water shortages due to weather and droughts. The Bowa Dayole masonry gravity dam is expected to irrigate farmland downstream. Despite this, the engineering geology is complicated by the presence of highly fractured and weathered aphanitic basaltic rock, along with a weak unwelded to welded tuff rock mass in the dam foundation.
