Purpose: To assess and compare the diagnostic efficiency of histogram analysis of monochromatic and iodine images derived from spectral CT in predicting Ki-67 expression in gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (gGIST).
Methods: Sixty-five patients with gGIST who underwent spectral CT were divided into a low-level Ki-67 expression group (LEG, Ki-67 < 10%, n = 33) and a high-level Ki-67 expression group (HEG, Ki-67 ≥ 10%, n = 32). Conventional CT features were extracted and compared.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) has become a dominant economic and health burden worldwide, and the role of autophagy in CAD requires further clarification. In this study, we comprehensively revealed the association between autophagy flux and CAD from multiple hierarchies. We explored autophagy-associated long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and the mechanisms underlying oxidative stress-induced human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) injury.

Background: Global climate change significantly impacts ecosystems, particularly through temperature fluctuations that affect insect physiology and behavior. As poikilotherms, insect pests such as the globally devastating diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella, are especially vulnerable to rising temperatures and extreme heat events, necessitating effective adaptive mechanisms.
Results: Here we demonstrate the roles of zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) in mediating thermal adaptability in DBM.

Background: The RAR-related orphan receptor alpha (RORA), a circadian clock molecule, is highly associated with anti-oncogenes. In this paper, we defined the precise action and mechanistic basis of RORA in ESCC development under hypoxia.
Methods: Expression analysis was conducted by RT-qPCR, western blotting, immunofluorescence (IF), and immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays.

Introduction: Cosmetic breast surgery encompasses a variety of procedures aimed at enhancing breast appearance and is increasingly popular globally. Despite this trend, the acceptance of such surgeries among Saudi women approaching menopause remains understudied. This research aims to explore the attitudes and perceptions toward cosmetic breast surgery in this demographic, considering cultural and religious influences in Saudi Arabia.
