Finally, we verified that FOXO6 mediated effects on the USP7/JMJD3/CLU axis to exert an oncogenic role in vivo, which was blocked by USP7 and JMJD3 inhibitor. Our findings demonstrate an important role of the FOXO6/USP7/JMJD3/CLU pathway in EC progression and thus provide attractive potential therapeutic targets for EC patients.Verbascoside (VB), a glycosylated phenylpropane compound, has been widely used in traditional medicine showing anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects in many diseases. The current study aimed to investigate the mechanism underlying the inhibitor effect of VB on glioblastoma (GBM). We isolated and identified the tumor-derived exosomes (TEXs) secreted by GBM cells before and after treatment with VB, after which, we detected expression of microRNA (miR)-7-5p in cells and TEXs by qRT-PCR. Loss- and gain-function assays were conducted to determine the role of miR-7-5p in GBM cells with the proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, migration, and microtubule formation of GBM cells detected. A subcutaneous tumor model and tumor metastasis model of nude mice were established to validate the in vitro findings. We found that VB promoted the expression of miR-7-5p in GBM and transferred miR-7-5p to recipient GBM cells by exosomal delivery. Epigenetics activator Consequently, miR-7-5p downregulated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression to inactivate the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway, causing inhibition in the proliferation, migration, invasion, and microtubule formation of GBM cells in vitro, as well as decline in tumor formation and metastasis in vivo. Overall, VB can promote the expression of miR-7-5p in GBM cells and transfer miR-7-5p via exosomes, thereby inhibiting the occurrence of GBM.Centre-based childcare may benefit pre-school children and alleviate inequalities in early childhood development, but evidence on socio-emotional and physical health outcomes is limited. Data were from the UK Millennium Cohort Study (n = 14,376). Inverse-probability weighting was used to estimate confounder-adjusted population-average effects of centre and non-centre-based childcare (compared to parental care only) between ages 26-31 months on (age 3) internalising and externalising symptoms, pro-social behaviour, independence, emotional dysregulation, vocabulary, school readiness, and body mass index. To assess impacts on inequalities, controlled direct effects of low parental education and lone parenthood on all outcomes were estimated under two hypothetical scenarios 1) universal take-up of centre-based childcare; and 2) parental care only. On average, non-centre based childcare improved vocabulary and centre-based care improved school readiness, with little evidence of other benefits. However, socio-economic inequalities were observed for all outcomes and were attenuated in scenario 1 (universal take-up). For example, inequalities in externalising symptoms (according to low parental education) were reduced from a confounder-adjusted standard deviation difference of 7.8 (95% confidence intervals 6.7-8.8), to 1.7 (0.6-2.7). Inequalities by parental education in scenario 2 (parental care only) were wider than in scenario 1 for externalising symptoms (at 3.4; 2.4-4.4), and for emotional dysregulation and school readiness. Inequalities by lone parenthood, which were smaller, fell in scenario 1, and fell further in scenario 2. Universal access to centre-based pre-school care may alleviate inequalities, while restricted access (e.g. during lockdown for a pandemic such as Covid-19) may widen some inequalities in socioemotional and cognitive development.Traditional Machine Learning (ML) models have had limited success in predicting Coronoavirus-19 (COVID-19) outcomes using Electronic Health Record (EHR) data partially due to not effectively capturing the inter-connectivity patterns between various data modalities. In this work, we propose a novel framework that utilizes relational learning based on a heterogeneous graph model (HGM) for predicting mortality at different time windows in COVID-19 patients within the intensive care unit (ICU). We utilize the EHRs of one of the largest and most diverse patient populations across five hospitals in major health system in New York City. In our model, we use an LSTM for processing time varying patient data and apply our proposed relational learning strategy in the final output layer along with other static features. Here, we replace the traditional softmax layer with a Skip-Gram relational learning strategy to compare the similarity between a patient and outcome embedding representation. We demonstrate that the construction of a HGM can robustly learn the patterns classifying patient representations of outcomes through leveraging patterns within the embeddings of similar patients. Our experimental results show that our relational learning-based HGM model achieves higher area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (auROC) than both comparator models in all prediction time windows, with dramatic improvements to recall.This study considers commons-based peer production (CBPP) by examining the organizational processes of the free/libre open-source software community, Drupal. It does so by exploring the sociotechnical systems that have emerged around both Drupal's development and its face-to-face communitarian events. There has been criticism of the simplistic nature of previous research into free software; this study addresses this by linking studies of CBPP with a qualitative study of Drupal's organizational processes. It focuses on the evolution of organizational structures, identifying the intertwined dynamics of formalization and decentralization, resulting in coexisting sociotechnical systems that vary in their degrees of organicity.The power of predictive modeling for radiotherapy outcomes has historically been limited by an inability to adequately capture patient-specific variabilities; however, next-generation platforms together with imaging technologies and powerful bioinformatic tools have facilitated strategies and provided optimism. Integrating clinical, biological, imaging, and treatment-specific data for more accurate prediction of tumor control probabilities or risk of radiation-induced side effects are high-dimensional problems whose solutions could have widespread benefits to a diverse patient population-we discuss technical approaches toward this objective. Increasing interest in the above is specifically reflected by the emergence of two nascent fields, which are distinct but complementary radiogenomics, which broadly seeks to integrate biological risk factors together with treatment and diagnostic information to generate individualized patient risk profiles, and radiomics, which further leverages large-scale imaging correlates and extracted features for the same purpose.
