Utilizing diverse cross-sectional assessment templates to instruct novice nurses in the neurology department about typical diseases.

Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the utilization of diverse cross-sectional assessment templates for typical diseases in educating novice nurses in neurology departments.

Methods: Between January and December 2019, all registered nurses who had worked for less than 10 years at our center, were enrolled in this retrospective study. They were divided into the observation (18 nurses) and control (17 nurses) groups.

Application and evaluation of minimally invasive surgical treatment options for early endometrial cancer.

Background: Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted techniques have gained popularity, and endometrial cancer (EC) remains a significant health problem among women.

Objective: Minimally invasive surgical (MIS) therapy options for early endometrial cancer will be evaluated for their effectiveness and safety is the aim of this paper. We also investigate the differences in oncologic outcomes between MIS and open surgery (OS) for individuals with early-stage EC.

miR-18a-5p and ATM Expression in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Their Correlations with Clinicopathological Features.

Objective: To investigate miR-18a-5p and ataxia telangiectasia muted (ATM) expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and their correlations with clinicopathological features.

Methods: The subjects of this study were 62 ESCC patients (research group, RG) and 57 healthy controls (control group, CG) presented to our hospital between July 2019 and April 2020. Peripheral blood (PB) miR-18a-5p and ATM levels in these participants were quantified via qRT-PCR, and the correlations of the two genes with ESCC patients' clinicopathological characteristics were investigated.

microRNA-497-mediated Smurf2/YY1/HIF2α axis in tumor growth and metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Aberrant expression of microRNA-497 (miR-497) is associated with tumor progression, but the molecular mechanisms in tumorigenesis remain largely unknown. Here, we report that miR-497 expression is downregulated in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) clinical samples. Consistently, upregulation of miR-497 inhibits ESCC cell malignant properties and tumor growth in vivo.

Study on the value of molecular biology combined with liquid MGIT culture method in clinical examination of mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Objective: To investigate the clinical value of molecular biology (xpert MTB/RIF) combined with a liquid mycobacterium culture tube (MGIT) in the clinical examination of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB).

Methods: A total of 782 patients with suspected pulmonary tuberculosis who came to our hospital from February 2018 to February 2020 were selected as the research subjects. Sputum samples of all patients were taken in the morning, and BACTEC MGIT culture and xpert MTB/RIF, Lowenstein-Jenden (L-J) culture and acid fast staining microscopy were used respectively to detect the sputum samples.

Exploring the Pharmacological Mechanism of Radix Salvia Miltiorrhizae in the Treatment of Radiation Pneumonia by Using Network Pharmacology.

Background: Radiation pneumonia (RP) is the most common complication of radiotherapy to the thorax and seriously affects the survival rate and quality of life of patients. Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae (RSM) is an ancient Chinese medicine, whose main pharmacological effect is to promote blood circulation and remove stasis. A growing number of studies have proved that RSM has a good effect on RP.

The specific RIP1 inhibitor necrostatin-1 ameliorated degradation of ECM in human SW1353 cells.

Abnormal destruction of the components of the articular extracellular matrix (ECM) such as type II collagen and aggrecan caused by advanced glycation end products (AGEs) has been considered as one of the pathological characteristics of osteoarthritis (OA). Receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1), an important serine/threonine kinase, possesses a variety of biological functions including cell proliferation, survival and death. The physiological roles of RIP1 in OA have not been reported before.

Identification of MSX1 and DCLK1 as mRNA Biomarkers for Colorectal Cancer Detection Through DNA Methylation Information.

Colorectal cancer is the second most deadly malignancy in the United States. However, the currently screening options had their limitation. Novel biomarkers for colorectal cancer detections are necessary to reduce the mortality.
