Abstract Background and Objective Previous studies suggest interaction between periodontitis thyroid function, while the causality has not yet been established. We applied Mendelian randomization (MR) method to assess bidirectional causal association thyroid‐related traits, including free thyroxine (FT4), stimulating hormone (TSH), hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism autoimmune disease (AITD). Methods Genetic instruments were extracted from large‐scale genome‐wide on normal‐range FT4 ( N = 49...
Abstract Metastasis is a critical determinant for the treatment strategy and prognosis in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of head neck (SCCHN). However, mechanisms underlying SCCHN metastasis are poorly understood. Our study sought to determine key microRNA their functional involved metastasis.

Using qPCR analyses, transwell assays, scratch tests, we demonstrated...
Previous studies have revealed that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was closely associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). This study aimed to characterize the global pathways affected in EBV-associated NPC. Combined microdissection, gene expression profiles 22 NPCs and 10 non-tumor epithelial (NPE) tissue samples were analyzed. All NPC specimens served microarray analysis positive for EBV, as judged by identification of EBV nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1). Through set enrichment (GSEA), we found...
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been reported to downregulate E-cadherin (E-cad); however, whether the downregulation of E-cad any effect on EGFR expression not elucidated.

To understand biological mechanisms underlying this clinical observation, we knocked down utilizing siRNA four SCCHN lines.It was observed that upregulated compared with control...
To build an automatic pathological diagnosis model to assess the lymph node metastasis status of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) based on deep learning algorithms.A retrospective study.A diagnostic integrating two-step networks was trained analyze in 85 images HNSCC nodes. The tested a test set 21 with 29 without metastasis. All were scanned from sections stained hematoxylin-eosin (HE).In set, overall accuracy, sensitivity, specificity reached 86%, 100%, 75.9%, respectively.Our...
The study aims to establish a pre-academic diagnostic tool based on deep learning and conventional radiomics features guide the clinical decision-making of parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumors. This retrospective included 217 patients with PPS tumors, from two medical centers in China March 1, 2011, October 2023. cohort was divided into training set (n = 145) test 72). A (DL) model (Rad) neck MRI were constructed distinguish malignant tumors (MTs) benign (BTs) (DLR) which integrates further...
Therapeutic strategies aimed at harnessing anti-tumor immunity are being intensively investigated as they show promising results in cancer treatment. The PD-1/ PD-L1 pathway is an essential target for restoring functional immune response. BRD7 a candidate tumor suppressor gene and nuclear transcription factor of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) which was cloned our laboratory. In this paper, we reported that the strongly associated with good prognosis NPC patients negatively regulated...
Characterizing the variety of cell types in tumor microenvironment (TME) and their organization into cellular communities is vital for elucidating biological diversity cancer informing therapeutic strategies. Here, we employed a machine learning-based algorithm framework, EcoTyper, to analyze single-cell transcriptomes from 139 patients with head neck squamous carcinoma (HNSC)and gene expression profiles 983 additional HNSC patients, aiming delineate fundamental states ecosystems integral...
Small and micro enterprises (SMEs) encounter big blows while operating in VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) environment as a result of their resource constrains external dependencies. This study build conceptual model that links organized performance to the elements environmental factors, internal resources, resilience capabilities, contribution building SMEs. From systematically reviewing literature on organisational theories, specifies pathways how SMEs adapt thrive...
In addressing the challenges posed by sluggish convergence rate, suboptimal stability, and susceptibility to local optimization in function problems, a multi-strategy-based enhanced slime mold algorithm (MSSMA) has been proposed. This integrates chaotic mapping inverse learning enhance speed of initial population.

Human SPLUNC 1 can suppress nasopharyngeal carcinoma ( NPC ) tumor formation; however, the correlation between 1expression and patient prognosis has not been reported. In present study, we used a large‐scale sample of 1015 tissue cores to detect expression its association with prognosis. was reduced in samples compared nontumor epithelium tissues. Positive predicted better (disease‐free survival, P = 0.034; overall 0.048). Cox's proportional hazards model revealed that could be significant...
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a head and neck malignant tumor rare throughout most of the world but common in Southeast Asia, especially Southern China. Flotillin-2 (Flot-2) not only an important component cellular membrane, also involves various processes such as membrane trafficking, T cell B activation, regulation several signaling pathways associated with growth transformation, keeping structure junction epidermal cells formation filopodia. Although molecular effects Flot-2 have been...
Atractylodes macrocephala (A. macrocephala), a famous medicinal herb in China, is widely cultivated and consumed China with various beneficial effects.
