The objective of this article is to frame, understand, and draw implications from existing research on families screened out by child protective services (CPS) after a referral alleging child maltreatment. We review descriptive and outcome data together with emerging intervention research amidst a developing consensus that the current reactive role of CPS should be supplemented by supportive and preventative services that primarily address poverty. State-level data indicate that screened-out families are at high risk of re-referral and similar to higher-risk families reported to CPS. Intervention research is scant and mixed, but there is indication that providing community-based services may reduce future CPS involvement. Considering that screened-out referrals present an opportunity to prevent future maltreatment, CPS should identify and collaboratively engage screened-out families in community-based services. More research on the outcomes of these community responses is needed to identify best practices related to engagement and service provision.

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly lethal brain tumor with a complex tumor microenvironment (TME) and poor prognosis. This study aimed to develop and validate a novel immune-related prognostic model for GBM patients to enhance personalized prognosis prediction and develop effective therapeutic strategies.

Methods: RNA sequencing and clinical data for GBM patients were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) (GSE83300).

Sex-Dimorphic Differential Expression Profiles in the Brain of the Adult Chinese Soft-Shelled Turtle, .

Animals (Basel)

November 2024

Key Laboratory of Tropical & Subtropical Fishery Resource Application & Cultivation of Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Pearl River Fisheries Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, Guangzhou 510380, China.

The Chinese soft-shelled turtle () is an economically important species in aquaculture, and its growth pattern is characterized by significant sexual dimorphism. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of this phenomenon have mostly been investigated in the gonadal tissues of , and there are no articles on sex differentiation from the brain of . Here, we analyzed transcriptomes of the brains of adult male and female using high-throughput Illumina sequencing technology, establishing a set of differential genes and differential transcription factors.

[Correlation between genotype and clinical phenotype in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy families with MYH7-R453C mutation].

Zhonghua Xin Xue Guan Bing Za Zhi

December 2024

Department of Ultrasound, the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University (Xijing Hospital), Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy International Cooperation Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University (Xijing Hospital), Multidisciplinary Consultation Center of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Shaanxi Province, Multidisciplinary Clinic and Genetic Counseling Center of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Xijing Hospital, Xi'an710032, China.

To analyze the relationship between genotype and clinical phenotype of the MYH7-R453C mutation in five Chinese hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) families. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 527 unrelated HCM probands who were first diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University (Xijing Hospital) from February 2014 to July 2018, and the high-throughput whole exome targeted sequencing of 96 genes related to hereditary cardiovascular disease was performed on the probands. The probands carrying the MYH7-R453C mutation were screened out, and their family members carrying the mutation were verified using Sanger sequencing.

Article Synopsis
  • KIF5A is found to be highly expressed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) tissues and cells, especially in detached tumor cells, indicating its potential role in cancer progression.
  • A small molecule drug, Ergotamine, was identified to bind to KIF5A and promote anoikis (a form of programmed cell death) in LUAD, which is critical for preventing cancer cell metastasis.
  • Targeting KIF5A could be a promising therapeutic strategy for treating LUAD, as lowering its expression enhances the anoikis of cancer cells, suggesting a new avenue for treatment.
