Recent studies have established the involvement of fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) in metabolic disorders such as obesity diabetes. However, precise molecular mechanism by which FTO regulates metabolism remains unknown. Here, we used a structure-based virtual screening U.S. Food Drug Administration-approved drugs to identify entacapone potential inhibitor. Using structural biochemical studies, showed that directly bound inhibited activity vitro. Furthermore, administration reduced...

Aims: Combined hepatocellular cholangiocarcinoma (CHC) is a rare form of primary liver cancer, showing mixture and biliary features. Data suggest that most CHC arise from hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs). The aim was to investigate the origin CHC. Methods results: Twelve cases were studied by immunohistochemistry for hepatocytic (hepPar1, α‐fetoprotein), cholangiocytic cytokeratin [(CK) 7, CK19], cell (OV‐6), haematopoietic stem (c‐kit, CD34), as well CD45 chromogranin‐A markers. combination...

Cine balanced steady-state free precession (SSFP), the preferred sequence for ventricular function, demands uninterrupted radio frequency (RF) excitation to maintain during suspended respiration. This is difficult accomplish in sedated children. In this work, we validate a respiratory triggered (RT) SSFP that drives magnetization before commencing retrospectively cardiac gated cine acquisition pediatric population. prospective study was performed on 20 children with congenital heart disease...

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of exposure high altitude and low oxygen on intestinal microbial communities using mice as an animal model. Fecal microbiota from housed in a control environment representing 2,200 meters (NC group) above sea level with 16% Oxygen that were placed hypobaric chamber 5000 (HC 11% for 30 days, analyzed by HiSeq Illumina sequencing platform. The results showed significant difference beta diversity observed between two groups, while no alpha...

Background : Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) is an effective and safe remission induction treatment for Crohn's disease in adults. Its influence on adults’ health‐related quality of life remains unknown. The aim this study was to determine the effect EEN adults with active disease. Materials Methods Patients recruited were treated a polymeric feed that taken orally daytime via self‐intubated nasogastric tube at night 4 weeks. Prospective evaluation activity (Crohn's Disease Activity Index,...

To differentiate pre-invasive lesion from invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma (IPA) appearing as ground-glass nodules (GGNs) using CT features.149 GGNs were enrolled in this study, with 74 pure (p-GGNs) and 75 mixed (m-GGNs). Firstly, univariate analysis was used to analyse the difference of features between IPA. Then, multivariate conducted identify variables that could independently Receiver operating characteristic curve performed evaluate differentiating value identified variables.In...
