Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumour which drug treatment has no overall significant effect on survival rate. Sinomenine a natural product extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Qingteng and was found to have certain anti-tumour effect. Although, its short biological half-life, unstable physicochemical properties, large dosage causes histamine release hindered use but it may form basis for novel therapy of GBM. We designed, synthesised screened sinomenine...

Advanced and recurrent ovarian cancer has a poor prognosis is frequently resistant to numerous therapeutics; thus, safe effective drugs are needed combat this disease. Previous studies have demonstrated that triptolide (TPL) exhibits anticancer sensitization effects against cisplatin (DDP)‑resistant both in vitro vivo by inducing apoptosis; however, the involvement of autophagy induced TPL carcinoma remains unclear. In present study, results revealed facilitate SKOV3/DDP cell death. The...

Angiogenesis is a crucial event during cancer progression that regulates tumor growth and metastasis. Activin receptor-like kinase 1 (ALK1), predominantly expressed in endothelial cells, plays key role the organization of neo-angiogenic vessels. Therapeutic targeting ALK1 has been proposed as promising strategy for treatment, microRNAs (miRNAs) are increasingly being explored modulators angiogenesis. However, regulation by miRNAs unclear. In this study, we identified directly targeted...

Practical teaching is vital for preparing public health students to address real-world challenges. This study evaluates the impact of open collaborative practical reforms on student satisfaction compared traditional approaches. A validated Likert scale-based questionnaire assessed among 188 (96 Reform Group; 92 Traditional Group). Reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.987) and validity (KMO 0.948; p < 0.001) tests confirmed instrument's robustness. Comparative analyses examined across methods,...

Cancer cells typically experience higher oxidative stress than normal cells, such that elevating pro-oxidant levels can trigger cancer cell death. Although pre-exposure to mild agents will sensitize radiation, this may also activate the adaptive defense system in cells. Ascorbic acid is a prototype redox modulator when infused intravenously appears kill cancers without injury tissues; however, mechanisms involved remain elusive. In study, we show how ascorbic kills and sensitizes prostate...

MicroRNA-575 (miR-575) is oncogene in many tumors. However, the role of miR-575 progression gastric cancer (GC) still unknown. The aim this study was to identify whether play a development GC. We obtained GC cell lines, tissues from 40 patients measure levels and its predicted target PTEN by using RT‑PCR, immunohistochemistry or western blot analysis. MGC-803 cells were transfected with inhibitor, viability apoptosis measured. aberrantly up-regulated lines compared corresponding control. In...

To determine the association of physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST; leisure total ST), commuting mode with hyperuricemia in a multiethnic Chinese population, to analyze difference between sexes.Baseline data were analyzed from 22,094 participants China Multi-Ethnic Cohort study Yunnan region, China. PA behavior assessed through questionnaires. Hyperuricemia was defined as serum urate > 7.0 mg/dL among men 6.0 women. A restricted cubic spline (RCS) created model possible nonlinear...

Abstract Context Loss of sleep or disturbance sleep-wake cycles has been related to metabolic impairments. However, few studies have investigated the association between daily duration and hyperuricemia. Objective We (daytime napping nocturnal sleep) with hyperuricemia risk. Methods cross-sectionally analyzed data from China Multi-Ethnic Cohort (CMEC), Yunnan region. A total 22 038 participants aged 30 79 years were recruited in 2018. Hyperuricemia was defined as serum uric acid (SUA) above...

Abstract Dysregulation of circRNAs is reported to exert crucial roles in cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). So far, the function HCC development remains poorly known. Currently, our data showed that circ_0008305 was highly elevated cell lines and 30 paired tissue samples HCC. As evidenced, suppression repressed growth significantly. Meanwhile, up‐regulation significantly reduced growth. Mechanistically, we displayed could bind with miR‐186 by using bioinformatics analysis....
