Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel class of endogenous noncoding formed by covalently closed loop, and increasing evidence has revealed that circRNAs play crucial functions in regulating gene expression. CircSLC8A1 is circRNA generated from the SLC8A1 gene. Currently, role underlying molecular mechanisms circSLC8A1 bladder cancer remain unknown.The differentially expressed were identified RNA-sequencing data, was determined as new candidate circRNA. qRT-PCR used to detect expression...

Abstract Urinary bladder cancer (UBC) patients at muscle invasive stage have poor clinical outcome, due to high propensity for metastasis. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), one of the principal constituents tumor stroma, play an important role in development. However, it is unclear whether CAFs from UBC induce cell invasion and which signaling pathway involved. Herein, we found that conditional medium (CAF-CM) enhanced cells. CAF-CM induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by...

Abstract Numerous evidences have shown that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a key role in regulating the pathogenesis of cancer. However, mechanism circRNAs urothelial carcinoma bladder (UCB) remains largely unclear. In this study, we found circFAM114A2 was significantly downregulated both UCB tissue specimens and cell lines, expression level highly correlated with pathological TNM stage grade. Functionally, overexpression dramatically inhibited migration, invasion proliferation cells vitro,...

BACKGROUND: Insight into motivating factors and barriers for blood donation, especially young people underrepresented minorities, is important to donor recruitment retention. We surveyed donors at a new collection facility based on large, ethnically diverse university campus. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Individuals who had donated or attempted donate the during first 17 months of its operation were invited by e‐mail respond an anonymous, Web‐based questionnaire. Respondents asked provide...

Vitamin E intake has been implicated in reduction of bladder cancer risk. However, the mechanisms remain elusive. Here we reported that δ-tocotrienol (δ-T3), one vitamin isomers, possessed most potent cytotoxic capacity against human cells, compared with other isomers. δ-T3 inhibited cell proliferation and colonogenicity through induction G1 phase arrest apoptosis. Western blotting assay revealed increased expression levels cycle inhibitors (p21, p27), pro-apoptotic protein (Bax) suppressed...

Permeabilities of various trace elements (TEs) through the blood–follicle barrier (BFB) play an important role in oocyte development. However, it has not been comprehensively described as well its involved biological pathways. Our study aimed to construct a distribution model concerned TEs and explore their related We finally included total 168 women from cohort vitro fertilization-embryo transfer conducted two reproductive centers Beijing City Shandong Province, China. The concentrations 35...

Abstract Context Obesity management prior to infertility treatment remains a challenge. To date, results from randomized clinical trials involving weight loss by lifestyle interventions have shown no evidence of improved live birth rate. Objective This work aimed determine whether pharmacologic weight-loss intervention before in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) can improve rate among overweight or obese women. Methods We conducted randomized, double-blinded,...

Docetaxel (DTX) is the most widely prescribed first-line chemotherapy for advanced prostate cancer (PCa). Unfortunately, DTX resistance invariably emerges, leading to worse prognosis of PCa. Growing evidence has shown that circRNAs had complex spatiotemporal specificity during tumor development and oncogenesis. This study was designed investigate biological functions possible molecular mechanisms in PCa.circRNAs established DTX-resistant DU145 cell line were identified by RNA sequencing....

Abstract A multi-center survey on sharp injuries (SIs) among hospital-based healthcare workers (HCWs) in seven provinces of China between August and December 2011 was performed. In each province, HCWs from at least 30 hospitals were surveyed by completing a SI report form adapted the EPINet. The who declared SIs during period interviewed local infection control practitioners. included 361 206,711 HCWs, most whom nurses (47.5%) or doctors (28.4%). previous month, 17,506 incidents 13,110...
