SHEP1 alleviates cardiac ischemia reperfusion injury via targeting G3BP1 to regulate macrophage infiltration and inflammation.

The macrophage-associated inflammation response plays an important role in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI). SHEP1(SH2 domain-containing Eph receptor-binding protein 1) has been implicated in adhesion and migration of inflammatory cells. However, the role and molecular mechanism of SHEP1 regulating macrophage remains unclear during MIRI.

Polydopamine-coated nucleic acid nanogel for siRNA-mediated low-temperature photothermal therapy.

Photothermal therapy (PTT) normally requires to maintain the temperature of tumor lesions above 50 °C, which potentially induces local inflammation and tumor metastasis. To avoid these side effects, it is vital to achieve effective antitumor efficacy at relatively low temperature (42-45 °C) during the PTT treatment. Herein, we design a polydopamine (PDA)-coated nucleic acid nanogel as a therapeutic complex for siRNA-mediated low-temperature PTT.

Real-Time Elastography in the diagnosis of prostate cancer: a systematic review.

Aim: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of real-time elastography as a method for detecting prostate cancer.

Material And Methods: Relevant studies applying real-time elastography as the diagnostic modality and biopsy as the reference standard, published by March 1, 2018 were retrieved from PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases. Two independent reviewers inspected all these articles to confirm the matching of the inclusion criteria.

The Prognostic Value of the C-reactive Protein/Prognostic Nutritional Index Ratio in Stage III and IV Laryngeal Cancer Patients Treated with Radiotherapy.

Objective Patients with advanced laryngeal cancer have a poor prognosis. The purpose of this work was to analyze the connection between clinical factors and survival and to try to identify survival prognostic factors. Methods Sixty-one laryngeal cancer patients received radiotherapy.

Effect of gamma irradiation on carbon dot decorated polyethylene-gold@ hydroxyapatite biocomposite on titanium implanted repair for shoulder joint arthroplasty.

High disappointment rate of the ligament to hard tissue mending after the medical procedure has dependably been a testing issue in rotator cuff repair. Considering the elasticity of carbon dot decorated polyethylene (f-CDs-PE) and osteogenic movement of gold substituted hydroxyapatite (Au@HA) bioceramic, f-CDs-PE-Au@HA biocomposite coatings were created by an electrophoretic deposition method (EPD), the in vivo and in vitro bioactivity and cytocompatibility were researched. The physico-chemical properties of f-CDs-PE-Au@HA biocomposite coatings were characterized using fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) and X-Ray diffractometery (XRD).

Identification of two novel mutations in the SLC4A1 gene in two unrelated Chinese families with distal renal tubular acidosis.

Background And Aims: Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is characterized by a reduced ability to acidify urine, variable hyperchloremic hypokalemic metabolic acidosis, nephrocalcinosis, and nephrolithiasis. Mutations in the SLC4A1 gene have been found to cause either autosomal dominant (AD) or autosomal recessive (AR) dRTA.

Methods: Four affected individuals and nine healthy family members from two unrelated Chinese families with dRTA were clinically studied.
