Abstract Purpose: The poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is, in part, due to the high rate recurrence even after “curative resection” tumors. Therefore, it is axiomatic that development an effective prognostic prediction model for HCC surgery would, at minimum, help identify advance those who would most benefit from treatment, and best, provide new therapeutic strategies patients with a risk early recurrence. Experimental Design: For time HCC, gene expression profiles were...
Abstract Colposcopy is widely used to detect cervical cancers, but experienced physicians who are needed for an accurate diagnosis lacking in developing countries. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been recently computer-aided showing remarkable promise. In this study, we developed and validated deep learning models automatically classify neoplasms on colposcopic photographs. Pre-trained convolutional neural networks were fine-tuned two grading systems: the intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)...
Abstract The prevalence and clinical characteristics of depressive disorders differ between women men; however, the genetic contribution to sex differences in has not been elucidated. To evaluate sex-specific architecture depression, whole exome sequencing samples from 1000 patients (70.7% female) with disorder was conducted.

To investigate the potential role of microRNA (miRNA) in regulation circadian rhythm, we performed microarray-based expression profiling study both miRNA and mRNA mouse liver for 48 h at 4-hour intervals. Circadian miRNA-mRNA target pair is defined as elements which show patterns sequence-based relationship can be predicted. initiators, Clock Bmal1, showed inversely correlated against their corresponding miRNAs, miR-181d miR-191, targeting them. In contrast, suppressors, Per, Cry, CKIe...
Cellular senescence involves a reduction in adult stem cell self-renewal, and epigenetic regulation of gene expression is one the main underlying mechanisms. Here, we observed that cellular human umbilical cord blood-derived multipotent cells (hUCB-MSCs) caused by inhibition histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity leads to down-regulation high mobility group A2 (HMGA2) and, on contrary, up-regulation p16(INK)⁴(A), p21(CIP)¹(/WAF)¹ p27(KIP)¹. We found let-7a1, let-7d, let-7f1, miR-23a, miR-26a...
Abstract Objective Cancer can involve gene dysregulation via multiple mechanisms, so no single level of genomic data fully elucidates tumor behavior due to the presence numerous variations within or between levels in a biological system. We have previously proposed graph-based integration approach that combines multi-omics including copy number alteration, methylation, miRNA, and expression for predicting clinical outcome cancer. However, features likely interact with other complex signaling...
