Article Synopsis
- Limited data exists on elder abuse and its effects on quality of life (QOL) in China, prompting a study in nursing homes in Macau and Guangzhou.
- The study found elder abuse prevalence rates of 11.48% in Macau and 8.24% in Guangzhou, revealing that religion and depressive symptoms were linked to increased risks of abuse.
- No connection was found between elder abuse and quality of life, highlighting the need for targeted strategies and educational programs for health professionals to address this issue.

Rosiglitazone is a synthetic ligand of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), and it can induce apoptosis and autophagy in a variety of cancer cells. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the influence of rosiglitazone on the proliferation and apoptosis of the 5637 and T24 human bladder cancer cell lines. The results demonstrated that the level of growth inhibition rate was gradually increased by treating the 5637 and T24 cells with higher doses of rosiglitazone and longer incubation time.

Bladder carcinoma is a common malignancy with complicated treatment methods due to its heterogeneity. In this study, we focused on two bladder carcinoma cell lines, 5637 and T24, to compare their differences from the transcriptome level. RNA sequencing was used to generate the transcriptome data of the two cell line and the control cell line SV-HUC-1.
