Death-associated protein kinase 3 modulates migration and invasion of triple-negative breast cancer cells.

Sixteen patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) were analyzed using a mass spectrometry (MS)-based kinase inhibitor pull-down assay (KIPA), leading to the observation that death-associated protein kinase 3 (DAPK3) is significantly and specifically overexpressed in the triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) models. Validation studies confirmed enrichment of DAPK3 protein, in both TNBC cell lines and tumors, independent of mRNA levels. Genomic knockout of in TNBC cell lines inhibited in vitro migration and invasion, along with down-regulation of an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) signature, which was confirmed in vivo.

Digital Innovation to Grow Quality Care Through an Interprofessional Care Team (DIG IT) Among Underserved Patients With Hypertension.

Purpose: The impact of digital health on medically underserved patients is unclear. This study aimed to determine the early impact of a digital innovation to grow quality care through an interprofessional care team (DIG IT) on the blood pressure (BP) and 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk score of medically underserved patients.

Methods: This was a 3-month, prospective intervention study that included patients aged 40 years or more with BP of 140/90 mmHg or higher who received care from DIG IT from August through December 2021.

Learning and memory are inextricable.

The authors' aim is to build "more biologically plausible learning algorithms" that work in naturalistic environments. Given that, first, human learning and memory are inextricable, and, second, that much human learning is unconscious, can the authors' first research question of how people improve their learning abilities over time be answered without addressing these two issues? I argue that it cannot.

Low self-control, perceived social support and internet gaming addiction: findings from an ethnicity minority region in China.

Background: Adolescent Internet gaming addiction (IGA) is an pincreasing global concern. Drawing on self-control theory, social support theory, and problem behavior theory, this study aimed to examine the relationships between low self-control, perceived social support, and IGA among Chinese Yi and Non-Yi adolescents, with a focus on the moderating role of perceived social support and ethnic differences.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,997 adolescents (53.

Evaluating dyadic factors associated with self-care in patients with heart failure and their family caregivers: Using an Actor-Partner Interdependence Model.

Dyadic conditions of patients with heart failure and their caregivers may affect both patient self-care and caregiver contribution to patient self-care (CCPS). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships of patient-caregiver physical function and depressive symptoms to the patient self-care (maintenance and management) and CCPS. Data from 55 were analyzed using an Actor-Partner Interdependence Model to address the aim through AMOS.

Auricular laser acupuncture as an adjunct for parental anxiety management during children's surgery: A randomized-controlled study.

Background: Pediatric surgery is associated with high levels of anxiety for both children and parents/caregivers. To mitigate anxiety, auricular acupuncture has shown its potential in the perioperative setting. Accordingly, our team developed a wearable prototype auricular laser acupuncture system, AcuHealth V1.

CREB-binding protein/P300 bromodomain inhibition reduces neutrophil accumulation and activates antitumor immunity in triple-negative breast cancer.

Tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) have been shown to promote immunosuppression and tumor progression, and a high TAN frequency predicts poor prognosis in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Dysregulation of CREB-binding protein (CBP)/P300 function has been observed with multiple cancer types. The bromodomain (BRD) of CBP/P300 has been shown to regulate its activity.

Impact of a Potent Strain of Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria (PGPB), Bacillus subtilis S1 on Bacterial Community Composition, Enzymatic Activity, and Nitrogen Content in Cucumber Rhizosphere Soils.

Antagonistic bacterial strains from Bacillus spp. have been widely studied and utilized in the biocontrol of phytopathogens and the promotion of plant growth, but their impacts on the rhizosphere microecology when applied to crop plants are unclear. Herein, the effects of applying the antagonistic bacterium Bacillus subtilis S1 as a biofertilizer on the rhizosphere microecology of cucumbers were investigated.

Clinicopathological Heterogeneity of Lewy Body Diseases: The Profound Influence of Comorbid Alzheimer's Disease.

In recent years, proposals have been advanced to redefine or reclassify Lewy body disorders by merging the long-established entities of Parkinson's disease (PD), Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). These proposals reject the International DLB Consortium classification system that has evolved over three decades of consensus collaborations between neurologists, neuropsychologists and neuropathologists. While the Consortium's "one year rule" for separating PD and DLB has been criticized as arbitrary, it has been a pragmatic and effective tool for splitting the continuum between the two entities.

-Related Dilated Cardiomyopathy: Single-Cell Transcriptomics during Patient-Derived iPSC Differentiation Support Cell Type and Lineage-Specific Dysregulation of Gene Expression and Development for Cardiomyocytes and Epicardium-Derived Cells with Lamin A/C Haploinsufficiency.

-related dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is an autosomal-dominant genetic condition with cardiomyocyte and conduction system dysfunction often resulting in heart failure or sudden death. The condition is caused by mutation in the Lamin A/C () gene encoding Type-A nuclear lamin proteins involved in nuclear integrity, epigenetic regulation of gene expression, and differentiation. The molecular mechanisms of the disease are not completely understood, and there are no definitive treatments to reverse progression or prevent mortality.

The synergistic mechanisms of propofol with cisplatin or doxorubicin in human ovarian cancer cells.

Background: Most ovarian cancer cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage, leading to poor outcomes and a relatively low 5-year survival rate. While tumor resection in the early stages can be highly effective, recurrence following primary treatment remains a significant cause of mortality. Propofol is a commonly used intravenous anesthetic agent in cancer resection surgery.

Cascade testing in mitochondrial diseases: a cross-sectional retrospective study.

Background: Cascade testing can offer improved surveillance and timely introduction of clinical management for the at-risk biological relatives. Data on cascade testing and costs in mitochondrial diseases are lacking. To address this gap, we performed a cross-sectional retrospective study to provide a framework for cascade testing in mitochondrial diseases, to estimate the eligibility versus real-time uptake of cascade testing and to evaluate the cost of the genetic diagnosis of index cases and the cost of predictive cascade testing.

Solid tumour-induced systemic immunosuppression involves dichotomous myeloid-B cell interactions.

Solid tumours induce systemic immunosuppression that involves myeloid and T cells. B cell-related mechanisms remain relatively understudied. Here we discover two distinct patterns of tumour-induced B cell abnormality (TiBA; TiBA-1 and TiBA-2), both associated with abnormal myelopoiesis in the bone marrow.

A Rapid Review of Mental Health Training Programs for School Nurses.

There is an urgent need for improved school-based mental health services to address students' increasing mental health needs. School nurses are often at the frontlines of youth mental health, but report feeling unprepared to manage student needs due to limited training. We conducted a rapid review to identify evidence-based mental health educational interventions for school nurses and evaluate program characteristics.

Improvement of androgenic alopecia by extracellular vesicles secreted from hyaluronic acid-stimulated induced mesenchymal stem cells.

Background: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a common form of hair loss. Androgens, such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, are the main causes of AGA. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can reduce AGA.
