The performance of the proposed computeraided diagnosis solution is comparable to that of experts. It is useful to diagnose submerged molars with an AI application to prevent errors. In addition, this will facilitate the diagnoses of pediatric dentists.Coiled-coil domain-containing protein 69 (CCDC69) is a novel gene and limited knowledge in known in breast cancer. In the present study, we aimed to explore the relationship between CCDC69 and breast cancer, demonstrate the clinicopathological significance and prognostic role of CCDC69 in breast cancer, and analyze the possible mechanism of CCDC69 affecting the prognosis of breast cancer. First, from GEO database, TIMER, GEPIA, and OncoLnc, we select CCDC69 as the potential gene which closely involved in breast cancer progression. Next, by real-time PCR detection, the expression of CCDC69 in breast cancer tissue was notably lower than that in normal breast tissues (p=0.0002). In addition, our immunohistochemistry (IHC) indicated that the positive expression rate of CCDC69 in the triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) was lower than that in the non-TNBC (p=0.0362), and it was negatively correlated with the expression of Ki67 (p=0.001). Further enrichment analysis of CCDC69 and the similar genes performed on FunRich3.1.3 revealed that these genes were significantly associated with fat differentiation, and most of them were related to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signal pathway. Collectively, our findings suggest that CCDC69 is down regulated in breast cancer tissue especially in TNBC which has higher malignant grade and poorer clinical prognosis.Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is featured by a variety of physical symptoms and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) abnormal proliferation. ATG-017 purchase Increasing evidence has demonstrated that traditional Chinese medicine exerts an important role in RA treatment. New bitongling (NBTL) as one of the traditional Chinese medicine has been reported to be involved in the progression of RA, but the exact mechanism is unclear. In our study, we intended to investigate the effect of NBTL on RA to identify the mechanisms related to JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. Extracts of Tripterygium wilfordii (TW), a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, have been widely used for treating RA in China for several decades, so, TW was used as a positive control drug for TBNL. RA rats were constructed by immunization with collagen type II to evaluate the action of NBTL in vivo. Body weight and arthritic index were evaluated. Hematoxylin and Eosin staining was performed to analysis the morphological changes of ankle joints tissue. TUNEL and flow cytometry were performed to examine cell apoptosis, while CCK8 and Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) were performed to examine cell proliferation. In addition, the markers of inflammation were detected by Western blot, ELISA, and RT-qPCR. Firstly, we find that rats treated with NBTL or TW not only reduced swelling degree and bone destruction, but also repressed IL-1 β and IL-6 levels. In addition, NBTL and TW could increase the weight of rats, and promote the level of IL-10 and IL-4 in vivo. Furthermore, NBTL inhibited inflammation of FLS, induced cell apoptosis and hindered cell proliferation, which was reversed by dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP), a JAK2/STAT3 pathway activator. Taken together, NBTL potentially retarded RA via JAK2/STAT3 pathway, highlighting novel mechanisms associated with RA.Ovarian cancer (OC) is the one of the most common cancer in women globally. However, it still represents the most dangerous gynecologic malignancy even with the advances in detection and therapeutics. Thus, there is an urgent need in finding more effective therapeutic options for OC patients including cancer stem cells (CSC). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, endogenous, and non-coding RNAs that play critical roles in the progression of various types of tumor. Our aim of this study was to find the regulatory function of microRNA-26 (miRNA-26b) on the cell proliferation and apoptosis of ovarian CSCs. Our studies show that miR-26b is under-regulated in human CD117+CD44+ ovarian CSCs. The miR-26b overexpression inhibits the cell proliferation and promotes cell apoptosis. Moreover, phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) is found to be a functional target of miR-26b. Moreover, PTEN overexpression reversed the effects of miR-26b on the cell proliferation and apoptosis. PTEN overexpression remarkably accelerated the cell proliferation, and inhibited cell apoptosis. These results indicate that miR-26b regulates cell proliferation and apoptosis of CD117+CD44+ ovarian CSCs by targeting PTEN.>.
The present study investigated the mid-term effects of training muscle groups once- versus twice-daily on morphofunctional adaptations in trained men.
Participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 experimental groups 1 daily session per muscle group (1S, N.=11), where every muscle group was trained once a day or 2 daily sessions per muscle group (2S, N.=12), where every muscle group was trained twice. Testing was conducted before intervention and after 8 weeks for maximal strength (1RM) and muscular endurance (60%1RM) for bench press and parallel back squat exercises, and muscle thickness (MT) of the biceps brachii, triceps brachii, vastus lateralis, anterior quadriceps and pectoralis major.
The major findings were as follows 1) the increase in 1RM back squat was significantly greater in 2S (∆=16.1%) compared to 1S (∆=7.8%) (P<0.05); 2) both groups significantly increased bench press 1RM (1S ∆=4.6%; 2S ∆=6.8%), back squat 60% 1RM (1S ∆=19.0%; 2S ∆=24.3%), bench press 60% 1RM (1S ∆=15.4%; 2S ∆=24.0%) and all MT outcomes (P<0.05 for all), with no differences between experimental groups (1S and 2S).
This study provides evidence that a twice-daily resistance training augments lower-body muscular strength; however, the daily frequency does not seem to have any additive effect on upper-body muscular strength, muscular endurance, and muscle hypertrophy in trained men.
