Children with focal hyperinsulinism of infancy display a dramatic, non-neoplastic clonal expansion β cells that have undergone mitotic recombination, resulting in paternal disomy part chromosome 11. This disomic region contains imprinted genes, including the gene encoding cell cycle inhibitor p57Kip2 (CDKN1C), which is silenced as consequence recombination event. We hypothesized targeting could stimulate adult human replication. Indeed, when we suppressed CDKN1C expression islets obtained...

This study aimed to elucidate generality individuality CS from gene expression. Methods Five pairs surgical‐treated patients were matched. Bilateral muscles at apex...

Abstract Congenital scoliosis (CS) is the result of anomalous vertebrae development, but pathogenesis CS remains unclear. Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in embryo their role unknown. In this study, we investigated and mechanisms a specific lncRNA, SULT1C2A, somitogenesis rat model vitamin A deficiency (VAD)‐induced CS. Bioinformatics analysis quantitative real‐time PCR (qRT‐PCR) indicated that SULT1C2A expression was down‐regulated VAD group, accompanied by increased...

However, there is no literature regarding differences between CIM ISm in terms of radiographic outcomes surgical complications after posterior fusion, to our knowledge. The aim the present study was compare features, clinical outcomes, spinal fusion CIM-associated ISm-associated scoliosis. Methods: One hundred twenty syringomyelia-associated were...

Obesity has become a worldwide health problem over the past three decades. During obesity, metabolic dysfunction of white adipose tissue (WAT) is key factor increasing risk type 2 diabetes. A variety diet approaches have been proposed for prevention and treatment obesity. The low-protein high-fat (LPHF) special kind diet, characterized by intake low amount protein, while compared to typical may induce weight loss browning WAT. Physical activity another effective intervention treat obesity...
