Abstract Background The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway plays a fundamental role in cell proliferation and survival human tumorigenesis, including gastric cancer. PIK3CA mutations amplification are two major causes of overactivation this cancers. However, until work, there was no sound investigation on the association with clinical outcome cancer, particularly latter. Methods Using direct sequencing real-time quantitative PCR, we examined amplification, their clinicopathological...

Ischemic stroke remains the predominant cause of mortality and functional impairment among adult populations globally. Only a minority ischemic patients are eligible to receive intravascular thrombolysis or mechanical thrombectomy therapy within optimal time window. Among those survivors, around two-thirds suffer neurological dysfunctions over an extended period. Establishing stable repeatable experimental model is extremely significant for further investigating pathophysiological mechanisms...
