Mounting evidence indicates that circular RNAs (circRNAs) have essential roles in several diseases, including periodontitis. Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) exhibit potential for treating periodontitis accompanied by hypoxia. However, it is unclear how circRNA affects the osteogenesis of PDLSCs under In this study, a novel circRNA, hsa_circ_0003489, was found located at gene cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8) and referred to as circCDK8. The expression levels circCDK8...

The present study assessed the willingness of general population to receive COVID-19 vaccines and identified factors that influence vaccine hesitancy resistance. A national online survey was conducted from 29 January 2021 26 April in China. Multinomial logistic regression analyses were identify Of 34,041 participants surveyed, 18,810 (55.3%) willing get vaccinated, 13,736 (40.3%) hesitant, 1495 (4.4%) resistant. Rates acceptance increased over time, with geographical discrepancies resistance...

In this study, the effects OS expression integrin β3 subunit and leukaemia-inhibitory factor (LIF) during implantation window rate in mice were investigated. METHODS: Three used, involving either pregnant mare's serum gonadotrophin (PMSG) alone, PMSG plus GnRH agonist or antagonist. Uterus samples collected at 48 h after ovulation detected with immunohistochemistry,...

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic is our generation's greatest global challenge to public health system. Vaccines are considered one of the most effective tools available for preventing infection and its complications sequelae. Understanding addressing psychological stress related vaccination may promote acceptance these vaccines.

Late-life depression (LLD) is an important public health problem among the aging population. Recent studies found that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) can effectively alleviate depressive symptoms in major disorder. The present study explored clinical effect and potential neuroimaging mechanism of MBCT treatment LLD. We enrolled 60 participants with LLD 8-week, randomized, controlled trial (ChiCTR1800017725). Patients were randomized to treatment-as-usual (TAU) group or a MBCT+TAU...

The present study investigated functional connectivity and white matter integrity of the fronto-parietal network (FPN) to reveal neural mechanisms that underlie late-life depression (LLD). Fifty patients with LLD 40 non-depressed controls were included in study. A multi-parametric approach was used by applying independent component analysis (ICA) estimate FPN tract­based spatial statistics examine white-matter tracts FPN. Patients exhibited abnormalities right inferior frontal gyrus, middle...

Abstract Perceived stress impairs cognitive function across the adult lifespan, but extent to which cognition decline is variable individuals. Individual differences in response are described as personality traits. Substantial individual magnitude of impairment that induced by short-term perceived poorly understood.

Chronic pain and sleep disturbance are highly comorbid disorders, which leads to barriers treatment significant healthcare costs. Understanding the underlying genetic neural mechanisms of interplay between chronic is likely lead better treatment. In this study, we combined 1206 participants with phenotype data, resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rfMRI) data genotype from Human Connectome Project two large sample size genome-wide association studies (GWASs) summary published...

ABSTRACT Background Some studies have shown that gut microbiota may be associated with intervertebral disc degeneration. However, the causal effects between and IVDD whether blood metabolites act as a mediator remain unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate relationship herniation, focus on potential mediating role metabolites. Methods Gut microbiota, metabolites, data were identified from large‐scale genome‐wide association (GWAS) summary data. Then we used Mendelian...

Subclinical anxiety, depressive and somatic symptoms appear closely related. However, it remains unclear whether mediate the association between subclinical anxiety what underlying neuroimaging mechanisms are for mediating effect.Data of healthy participants (n = 466) in remission major disorder 53) were obtained from Human Connectome Project. The Achenbach Adult Self-Report was adopted to assess symptoms. All completed four runs resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. Mediation...

We report the results of a grazing-incidence x-ray study on order-disorder phase transition (111)-oriented ${\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}$Au film (0.7 \ensuremath{\mu}m) epitaxially grown an ${\mathrm{Al}}_{2}$${\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ substrate with Nb buffer layer. By varying incident beam angles to surface, penetration depths between 22 and 650 A\r{} were probed. While bulk disorders at ${T}_{c}^{b}$=665 K through first-order transition, surface region appears exhibit enhanced ordering slightly higher...
