This study builds on the limited research available in low-income countries to reduce public stigma towards CWD, with the hope of enhance quality of life for CWD and their families.Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most chemoresistant cancers. An understanding of the molecular mechanism by which PDAC cells have a high chemoresistant potential is important for improvement of the poor prognosis of patients with PDAC. Here we show for the first time that disruption of heat shock protein 47 (HSP47) enhances the efficacy of the therapeutic agent gemcitabine for PDAC cells and that the efficacy is suppressed by reconstituting HSP47 expression. HSP47 interacts with calreticulin (CALR) and the unfolded protein response transducer IRE1α in PDAC cells. see more Ablation of HSP47 promotes both the interaction of CALR with sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ -ATPase 2 and interaction of IRE1α with inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor, which generates a condition in which an increase in intracellular Ca2+ level is prone to be induced by oxidative stimuli. Disruption of HSP47 enhances NADPH oxidase-induced generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequent increase in intracellular Ca2+ level in PDAC cells after treatment with gemcitabine, resulting in the death of PDAC cells by activation of the Ca2+ /caspases axis. Ablation of HSP47 promotes gemcitabine-induced suppression of tumor growth in PDAC cell-bearing mice. Overall, these results indicated that HSP47 confers chemoresistance on PDAC cells and suggested that disruption of HSP47 may improve the efficacy of chemotherapy for patients with PDAC.We herein report a case of ovarian clear cell carcinoma with an immature teratoma component that exhibited aggressive behavior. A 47-year-old woman presented with abdominal distention, and computed tomography detected a cystic mass on the right ovary. The resected mass had mural nodules, most of which showed a pale-yellow appearance; some nodules had a heterogeneous cut surface with bright yellow and white areas. Histologically, the former nodules were composed of clear cell carcinoma, while the latter contained teratomatous tissues, such as immature skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and enteric glands. The tumor was staged as pT1c. Despite adjuvant chemotherapy and additional lymph node dissection, she had local recurrence and multiple liver metastasis 6 months after the first surgery. The disease rapidly progressed, and she died 9 months after the first surgery. Clear cell carcinoma and immature teratoma both showed ARID1A deficiency and an identical PIK3CA mutation, which suggested their clonal relationship.
Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious obstetric complication. Recent studies point out that the functions of long intergenic noncoding RNA 00473 (linc00473), miR-424-5p, and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway were involved in the invasion and migration of extravillous trophoblast. Here, we investigated the role and mechanism of linc00473 in HTR-8/SVneo trophoblastic cell line and its role in PE.
The expression levels of linc00473 and miR-424-5p in placental tissues and the transfection efficiency of miR-424-5p were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). HTR-8/SVneo cell invasion and proliferation were determined by transwell and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assays. The protein expressions of wnt3a, p-GSK3β, GSK3β, active β-catenin, and total β-catenin were detected by Western blot. The apoptosis and migration of HTR-8/SVneo cells were detected by flow cytometry and wound healing assays. The targeting relationships between linc00473, miR-424-5p, and wnt3a were predicted by ENCORI dataeo. It indicated that linc00473 is involved in PE and could be a therapeutic target.
Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is a distressing reproductive issue worldwide. Dysfunction of trophoblasts can trigger numerous unfavorable pregnant outcomes such as RM, stillbirth, and fetal malformation.
In this text, the roles and molecular basis of long non-coding RNA insulin growth factor 2 antisense (IGF2-AS) in the development of trophoblast cells were further investigated. IGF2-AS, microRNA-520g (miR-520g), and N-cadherin levels were measured by RT-qPCR assay. Cell viability, the number of colonies, cell apoptosis, migration, and invasion were measured by CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry, transwell migration, and invasion assays, respectively. The relative proteins expression was detected by western blot.
The interaction between miR-520g and IGF2-AS or N-cadherin was tested by bioinformatics prediction analysis, and confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA pull-down assay, and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. Our data revealed that IGF2-AS and N-cadherin levels were notating miR-520g/N-cadherin axis, providing potential biomarkers for RM.
The aims of the review are to synthesise current evidence about advanced nurse practitioner clinical autonomy and consider how this may inform clinical practice and research.
Clinical autonomy is one of the cornerstones of advanced nursing practice globally, yet there is limited synthesis of clinical autonomy in the literature.
This is a narrative literature review.
The databases Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, EBSCO host, Cochrane Library, CINAHL and MEDLINE were searched for publications between 2005 and 2020 inclusive.
A systematic approach was used to analyse the literature reviewed. Two reviewers undertook quality appraisal.
Nineteen articles were selected. Four major themes emerged (1) 'ANP Stepping Up'-moving into and accepting advanced nursing practice roles and clinical responsibilities; (2) 'ANP Living It'-ANPs' ability to act independently including an understanding of task mastery and self-determination; (3) 'ANP Bounce-back ability'-depicted in challenges that threaten their ability to practice clinically autonomously; (4) 'ANP Setting in Motion'-indirect care activities and service-level improvements.
A clearer understanding of advanced nurse practitioner clinical autonomy could help develop more in-depth knowledge. Research of advanced nurse practitioners' clinical autonomy would improve full utilisation in clinical practice.
