TERT-TP53 mutations: a novel biomarker pair for hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence and prognosis by Jin Li, Ling Bai, Zhaodan Xin, Jiajia Song, Hao Chen, Xingbo Song, Juan Zhou

“…Furthermore, patients with both TERTpm and TP53m exhibited a significantly higher risk of tumor relapse (P < 0.05) and shorter progression-free survival (P < 0.05). Collectively, our results suggest that presence of both TERTpm and TP53m may serve as a robust predictor of tumor recurrence and a marker of poor prognosis in HCC.…”

Integrated analysis of cellulose structure and properties using solid-state low-field H-NMR and photoacoustic spectroscopy by Levente Csóka, Worakan Csoka, Ella Tirronen, Ekaterina Nikolskaya, Yrjö Hiltunen, Bunsho Ohtani

“…Solid-state low-field H-NMR spectroscopy aids in characterizing the crystallinity degrees and amorphous regions within cellulose, revealing time-dependent changes in free induction decay (FID) signals. Complementing this, we investigate the photo-absorption properties of cellulose fibers under both continuous and modulated irradiation using reversed double-beam photoacoustic spectroscopy (RDB-PAS). …”

Magnesium Oxide Nanoparticles Reinforced Electrospun Alginate-Based Nanofibrous Scaffolds with Improved Physical Properties by R. T. De Silva, M. M. M. G. P. G. Mantilaka, K. L. Goh, S. P. Ratnayake, G. A. J. Amaratunga, K. M. Nalin de Silva

“…SEM images revealed the spinnability of the complex composite nanofibrous scaffolds, showing randomly oriented, ultrafine, and virtually defects-free alginate-based/MgO nanofibrous scaffolds. Here, it is shown that an alginate/PVA complex scaffold, blended with near-spherical MgO nanoparticles (⌀ 45 nm) at a predetermined concentration (10% (w/w)), is electrospinnable to produce a complex composite nanofibrous scaffold with enhanced mechanical stability. …”

Comparison of clinico-pathological characteristics and survival of recurrent ovarian cancer patients on seven different chemo-protocols by Sattar Saima, Ahmad Mobasher, Saeed Hamid, Saleem Zikria, Danish Zeeshan, Akhlaq Muhammad

“…As per RECIST, improved partial response (PR) (63.3 %) and complete response (CR) (52.1 %) was observed in the CP (carboplatin + paclitaxel) arm, substantiated by improved median progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in CP and CD (carboplatin + docetaxel) arms, respectively, yet with no significant differences in survival curves, PFS (p = 0.12) and OS (p = 0.22). …”

Seronegative Intestinal Villous Atrophy: A Diagnostic Challenge by Cláudio Martins, Cristina Teixeira, Suzane Ribeiro, Daniel Trabulo, Cláudia Cardoso, João Mangualde, Ricardo Freire, Ana Luísa Alves, Élia Gamito, Isabelle Cremers, Ana Paula Oliveira

“…Seronegative intestinal villous atrophy, including those that are nonresponsive to a gluten-free diet, is a diagnostic challenge. In these cases, before establishing the diagnosis of seronegative celiac disease, alternative etiologies of atrophic enteropathy should be considered. …”

Transcriptional Activity of PGC-1α and NT-PGC-1α Is Differentially Regulated by Twist-1 in Brown Fat Metabolism by Hee-Jin Jun, Thomas W. Gettys, Ji Suk Chang

“…Thus, the absence of the corresponding C-terminal domain in NT-PGC-1α allows NT-PGC-1α to be free from Twist-1-mediated inhibition. Overexpression of Twist-1 in brown adipocytes suppresses transcription of a subset of PGC-1α-target genes involved in mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and uncoupling (CPT1β, UCP1, and ERRα). …”

Pulmonary enteric adenocarcinoma with progression disease after second - line therapy: a case report by Ya Guo, Bin Zhang, Heng Zhang, Yunbin Gao, Haibo Zhao, Pei Jiang, Qing-Qing Yu

“…In the case of unknown PD-L1 expression status, first-line treatment was given to lung adenocarcinoma regimen (immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy), progression occurred after 2 cycles, and progression-free survival (PFS) was 1.5 months. Then the second-line XELOX regimen (oxaliplatin combined with capecitabine) was adjusted. …”

AGS3-based optogenetic GDI induces GPCR-independent Gβγ signalling and macrophage migration by Waruna Thotamune, Sithurandi Ubeysinghe, Chathuri Rajarathna, Dinesh Kankanamge, Koshala Olupothage, Aditya Chandu, Bryan A. Copits, Ajith Karunarathne

“…GPCRs primarily broadcast signals through activated G proteins, GαGTP and free Gβγ and are major disease drivers. Evidence shows that the ambient low threshold signalling required for cells is likely supplemented by signalling regulators such as non-GPCR GEFs and guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitors (GDIs). …”
