The likelihood ratio test is presented for testing the equality of two regression lines versus the ordered alternative that Line 1 lies above Line 2 on a prescribed finite interval of values of the independent variable. Homoscedastic normal errors are assumed. An application is discussed and data from it are used to illustrate the methodology. A table of exact critical values is presented for alpha = .01, .05 and .10 for various degrees of freedom. Power comparisons are made with competing tests.

Background: Neoadjuvant, endocrine, and targeted therapies have significantly improved the prognosis of breast cancer (BC). However, due to the high heterogeneity of cancer, some patients cannot benefit from existing treatments. Increasing evidence suggests that amino acids and their metabolites can alter the tumor malignant behavior through reshaping tumor microenvironment and regulation of immune cell function.

Reconstructed breast with silicone breast implants (SBIs) after nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) provides high patient satisfaction from a cosmetic point of view, but low patient satisfaction with respect to hypoesthesia of the reconstructed breast, and reinnervation is required. Currently, few reports are available on reinnervation in breast reconstruction with implants, and detailed data on desensitization of reconstructed breasts are lacking. Therefore, we examined perceptual data after NSM with respect to reinnervation.

Objective: To explore the relationship and underlying mechanisms between vitamin D and CRC, offering valuable insights into the diagnosis and treatment of CRC.
Materials And Methods: Serum levels of 1,25(OH)D were measured using a double-antibody sandwich assay. Bioinformatics analysis identified vitamin D-related CRC genes, which were validated using HCT116 and HT29 cell lines.

Background: The tumor microenvironment (TME) is integral to tumor progression. However, its prognostic implications and underlying mechanisms in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) are not yet fully elucidated. This study aims to examine the prognostic significance of genes associated with immune-stromal scores and to explore their underlying mechanisms in ccRCC.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is marked by the proliferation of abnormal myeloid progenitor cells in the bone marrow and blood, leading to low cure rates despite new drug approvals from 2017 to 2018. Current therapies often fail due to the emergence of drug resistance mechanisms, such as those involving anti-apoptotic pathways and immune evasion, highlighting an urgent need for novel approaches to overcome these limitations. Programmed cell death (PCD) is crucial for tissue homeostasis, with PANoptosis-a form of PCD integrating pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis-recently identified.
