Abstract Primary diabetes care and diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening persist as major public health challenges due to a shortage of trained primary physicians (PCPs), particularly in low-resource settings. Here, bridge the gaps, we developed an integrated image–language system (DeepDR-LLM), combining large language model (LLM module) image-based deep learning (DeepDR-Transformer), provide individualized management recommendations PCPs. In retrospective evaluation, LLM module demonstrated...

MicroRNA-122 (miR-122), a pivotal liver-specific miRNA, is frequently repressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and associated with poor prognosis. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) HOTAIR has been proved to function as an oncogene multiple cancers including HCC. However, the relationship between miR-122 HCC remains largely unknown.We investigated of cell models xenograft mouse model. The regulatory network was further detected following overexpression or knockdown HOTAIR. DNA methylation...

Hepatitis C Virus core protein (HCVc) plays important roles in the development of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to tumor progression by interacting with downstream target genes. However, regulation and role miRNAs HCV‐related (HCV‐ICC) is poorly understood. In this study, we found that miR‐124 was down‐regulated HCV‐ICC induction DNMT1 HCVc mediated suppression miR‐124. Over‐expression suppressed cell migration invasion vitro, reduced levels SMYD3 genes...

Deregulation of the lncRNA taurine upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) predicts poor prognosis and is implicated development several cancers. In this study, we investigated role TUG1 pathogenesis intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). We found that ICC samples, which correlates with adverse clinical pathological characteristics. Knockdown inhibited proliferation, motility, invasiveness cultured cells, decreased tumor burden...
