Survivals after prenatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI) usually suffer long-lasting cognitive defects. Reduced blood-oxygen supplies and the following reperfusion cause mitochondrial injury. Damaged mitochondria could be replaced by biogenesis program peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ co-activator 1α (PGC-1α) is specific up-regulator. The objective of this study was to determine whether PGC-1α participate in resistant responses an immature brain HI. We used a pregnant rat model transient...

Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the most common biliary tract tumor with a poor prognosis. Isorhamnetin flavonoid compound extracted from Hippophae rhamnoides L. and has several pharmacological effects including anti-inflammatory anti-cancer properties. We treated GBC-SD NOZ of GBC cell lines different isorhamnetin concentrations in vitro. A counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, transwell Hoechst 33342 stain flow cytometric analysis, colony-forming assay were performed to investigate effect on...

Women full-term pregnancy undergoing vaginal January 2013 October 2018 were included study. Parturient women who parous, experiencing premature...

Introduction Given the intricate nature and varied symptoms of cervicogenic headache, its treatment can be challenging, potentially leading to refractory headache. We aimed identify risk factors that could help predict development headache in patients with Methods This is a retrospective cohort study diagnosed between January 1, 2022 March 2024 who underwent greater occipital nerve block. Data were collected by reviewing patients’ medical records pain questionnaires. Covariates selected...

Background and Objective: Open suturing (OSu) Mini-screw Anchor (MsA) are two commonly used open disc repositioning surgeries for anterior displacement (ADD) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This study assesses differences in position stability (DPS) condylar bone remodeling (CBR) between these surgical procedures a single center. Methods: A retrospective cohort using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans (preoperation, 1 week 12 mo postoperation) all patients who had TMJ surgery from...

Objectives To investigate the association between tea drinking and dysmenorrhoea among women of reproductive age. Design A cross-sectional study based on Shanghai Birth Cohort Study. Setting Two preconceptional care clinics in Shanghai, China. Participants 1183 age who sought were recruited from August 2013 to April 2015. Primary secondary outcome measures asked if they had pelvic pain associated with menstrual bleeding during past 12 months further grade intensity cramp as mild, moderate...

Platycodin D (PD) is a triterpenoid saponin that exists in the roots of Platycodonis. It exhibits evident growth inhibitory effects and potent cytotoxicity against multiple types cancer. Gallbladder cancer (GBC) most common malignant disease biliary tract system. Patients with GBC usually have limited available treatment strategies poor prognosis. The present study investigated antitumor PD on human cells vitro its underlying molecular mechanisms action. results indicated PD, as assessed...

This paper presents the design of a wireless capsule endoscopic system with low-power controlling and processing ASIC. The aims at several challenges including power reduction, miniaturization wake-up method. These are met by employing optimized architecture, integration an area efficient image compression module, management unit (PMU) novel subsystem zero standby current in ASIC design. has been fabricated 0.18-mum CMOS technology, occupies die 3.4 mm*3.3 mm. digital core can work under...

Modifications of short RNAs at specific sites can be achieved commercially by solid-phase chemical synthesis method. However, labelling long is still challenging for the routine methods. Position-selective Labelling RNA (PLOR) a hybrid phase transcription method that allows to label desired with great flexibility and decent efficiency. In principle, PLOR promising modified are unable generated other as recently developed method, has been only applied 71nt 104nt RNA, limited sequence...

Evidence showed that the use of epidural analgesia increased risk maternal fever during labor, and potential mechanisms involved inflammation. Lymphocyte played a role in inflammatory responses, lymphopenia predicted adverse outcomes for patients. The aim this study was to investigate whether lymphocyte count associated with incidence intrapartum nulliparous women undergoing vaginal delivery.In retrospective cohort study, electronic medical record data at International Peace Maternity Child...

Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with tumor thrombus in the bile duct (BDTT) is easily misdiagnosed or mistreated due to clinicopathological diversity of and its relationship primary lesions. Aim To propose a new classification for HCC BDTT order guide diagnosis treatment.

Mg2+ is well known to facilitate the structural folding of RNA. However, thermodynamic and dynamic roles in RNA remain elusive. Here, we exploit single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET) isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) study mechanism facilitating thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) riboswitch The results smFRET identify that presence compacts enlarges conformational dispersity among individual molecules, resulting a large gain entropy. compact yet flexible...

As a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent histone deacetylase and ADP ribosyl transferase, the silent information regulator 7 (Sirtuin 7, SIRT7) plays crucial role in regulating differentiation of adipocytes myoblasts, lipid metabolism, glucose cellular growth mammals.
