Published: March 1998

Expression of 18 genes was examined at 8 different time points between 1 h and 28 days following cryogenic rat brain injury. The genes include thymidine kinase (TK), p53 tumor suppressor, c-fos, renin, myelin basic protein (MBP), proteolipid protein (PLP), transferrin, transferrin receptor, platelet-derived growth factor A (PDGF A), platelet-derived growth factor B (PDGF B), platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGF alpha receptor), platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGF beta receptor), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 (FGF-R1), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and somatostatin. Time courses of gene expression were determined for RNAs derived from hippocampus and cortex. Genes were divided into categories based upon those in which statistically significant changes in expression were first observed at or before 24 h (early genes) and those in which changes were first observed at or after 72 h (late genes). In the present model, many genes demonstrate elevated RNA levels in the cortex prior to hippocampus, following injury. RNAs transcribed from late genes tend to be elevated concurrently in cortex and hippocampus.

Low-exhaustion peripheral circulating γδ T cells serve as a biomarker for predicting the clinical benefit rate of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients to chemotherapy or targeted therapy: a single-center retrospective study.

BMC Cancer

January 2025

Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Tumor Interventional Diagnosis and Treatment, Zhuhai Institute of Translational Medicine, Zhuhai People's Hospital Affiliated with Jinan University, Jinan University, Zhuhai, China.

Background: Multiple studies have demonstrated that the abundance and functionality of γδ T cells are favorable prognostic indicators for prolonged survival in cancer patients. However, the association between the immunophenotype of circulating γδ T cells and the therapeutic response in NSCLC patients undergoing chemotherapy or targeted therapy remains unclear.

Methods: Patients with EGFR wild-type (EGFR-WT) or mutant (EGFR-Mut) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), diagnosed between January 2020 and January 2024, were included in this study.

Background: Children with non-syndromic cleft lip with or without palate (CL ± P) may present alterations in dental development. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to compare the dental age (DA) between children with and without CL ± P, and whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding growth factors are associated with DA variations.

Methods: Children aged between 5 and 14 years with and without CL ± P were recruited to participate in this study.

Reduced fetal movements and COVID-19 infection: a retrospective cohort study.

BMC Pregnancy Childbirth

January 2025

Department of Clinical Science and Education, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Karolinska Institute, Sodersjukhuset, Stockholm, 118 83, Sweden.

Background: Fetal movements are an important indicator of fetal well-being; therefore, reduced fetal movements (RFMs) can indicate fetal compromise. RFM is associated with fetal growth restriction (FGR) and intrauterine fetal death (IUFD). Studies have implied that COVID-19 infection increases the risk of adverse fetal outcomes, such as preterm birth and IUFD.

Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable hematological malignancy that necessitates the identification of novel therapeutic strategies. Here, we report that intracellular levels of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) control the cytotoxicity of MM chemotherapeutic agents. Inhibition of VLCFA biosynthesis reduced cell death in MM cells caused by the proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib.

There are many similarities between early embryonic development and tumorigenesis. The occurrence of neural tube defects (NTDs) and glioblastoma (GBM) are both related to the abnormal development of neuroectodermal cells. To obtain genes related to both NTDs and GBM, as well as small molecule drugs with potential clinical application value.
