In contrast, the steady-state wear rate of the PMPC (32 mm) group (-0.006 mm/year) showed no significant difference when compared to that of the PMPC (26 or 28 mm) group (p  less then  0.01). The results obtained in the present study clearly demonstrate that PMPC-grafting onto an HXLPE surface improved the wear resistance of acetabular liners, even when coupled with larger femoral heads. Although further follow-up evaluations are required, PMPC-grafted HXLPE acetabular liners may be a promising approach to extend the longevity of artificial joints.

Exosome-mediated transfer of circular RNAs (circRNAs) is related to gastric cancer (GC) development. Selleck TAS-120 CircRNA NIMA-related kinase 9 (circNEK9; hsa_circ_0032683) was reported to be up-regulated in GC.

The biological role of circNEK9 and its underlying mechanisms in GC progression were explored.

The levels of RNAs and proteins were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot assay. Cell proliferation was assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, colony formation assay, and flow cytometry. Wound healing assay and transwell assays were conducted to analyze cell motility. Intermolecular interaction was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA pull-down assay. Animal experiments were used to evaluate the role of circNEK9 in the growth of xenograft tumors in vivo.

CircNEK9 was up-regulated in GC tissues and cell lines. CircNEK9 interference suppressed the proliferation and motility of GC cells. CircNEK9 silencing enhanced microRNA-409-3p (miR-409-3p) level through direct interaction. CircNEK9 silencing-mediated influences on the proliferation and metastasis of GC cells were partly overturned by the interference of miR-409-3p. MiR-409-3p directly interacted with microtubule-associated protein 7 (MAP7) messenger RNA (mRNA). MiR-409-3p-induced effects in GC cells were largely counteracted by the overexpression of MAP7. CircNEK9 silencing blocked GC tumor growth in vivo. Exosome-mediated transfer of circNEK9 promoted the motility of recipient GC cells.

CircNEK9 accelerated the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells through targeting miR-409-3p/MAP7 axis. Plasma exosomal circNEK9 promoted the migration and invasion of recipient GC cells.

Circular RNA (circRNA) has been shown to be closely associated with cancer progression, including gastric cancer (GC). However, the function of circ_0004104 in GC progression has not been clarified.

The purpose of this study was to explore the role of circ_0004104 in GC progression.

The expression levels of circ_0004104, miR-539-3p, and ring finger protein 2 (RNF2) were assessed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Cell proliferation was measured by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2 thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide assay, and cell migration and invasion were detected using transwell assay. The levels of glutamine, glutamate, and α-ketoglutarate were determined to evaluate the glutaminolysis of cells, and the protein levels of glutaminolysis-related markers and RNF2 were detected using western blot analysis. Furthermore, Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay was employed to assess the interaction between miR-539-3p and circ_0004104 or RNF2. Animal experiments were carried out to evaluate the effect of circ_0004104 silencing on GC tumor growth in vivo.

Circ_0004104 was upregulated in GC, and its knockdown repressed the proliferation, metastasis, and glutaminolysis of GC cells in vitro and reduced GC tumor growth in vivo. Furthermore, we discovered that circ_0004104 could sponge miR-539-3p and miR-539-3p could target RNF2. The rescue experiments suggested that miR-539-3p inhibitor could reverse the suppressive effect of circ_0004104 silencing on GC progression, and RNF2 overexpression also reversed the inhibition effect of miR-539-3p mimic on GC progression.

Circ_0004104 accelerated GC progression via regulating the miR-539-3p/RNF2 axis, indicating that circ_0004104 might be a potential therapeutic target for GC.

This is the third iteration of a review of the intervention literature (Odom et al. in J Autism Dev Disorders 40(4)425-436, 2010a; Prevent School Fail 54(4)275-282, 2010b; Wong et al. link2 in https//autismpdc.fpg.unc.edu/sites/autismpdc.fpg.unc.edu/files/imce/documents/2014-EBP-Report.pdf ; J Autism Dev Disorders 45(7)1951-1966, 2015), extending coverage to articles published between 1990 and 2017. A search initially yielded 31,779 articles, and the subsequent screening and evaluation process found 567 studies to include. Combined with the previous review, 972 articles were synthesized, from which the authors found 28 focused intervention practices that met the criteria for evidence-based practice (EBP). Former EBPs were recategorized and some manualized interventions were distinguished as meeting EBP criteria. The authors discuss implications for current practices and future research.

The co-occurrence or double heterozygosity of pathogenic/likely pathogenic sequence variants (P/LPSVs) in major cancer susceptibility genes has rarely been reported. Such co-occurrence raises the issues of accurate genetic counseling, preferred recommended surveillance scheme, and the use of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).

A clinical report of an Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) family with co occurrence of two PSVs in BRCA1 and TP53 and a literature search.

In an AJ family with a substantial history of cancer limited to the maternal side, two siblings co-harbored TP53 (c.733C>A; p.G245S) and the predominant 5266dup BRCA1 mutation, originating from the mother and the father, respectively. PGD is ongoing. Four families were thus far reported as double heterozygotes for both BRCA1/BRCA2 and TP53. Based on the limited available data, it seems that the phenotype in double PSV heterozygotes is not more severe than in single PSV carrier in either gene.

This family highlights the need to genotype both parents, especially in populations with founder mutations, when a BRCA1 mutation is detected in an offspring, regardless of family history. The combination of mutations in these two genes presents a challenge for PGD since both genes are located on chromosome 17.

Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the isolate was a member of the genus Spirosoma and most closely related to Spirosoma metallicum PR1014kT (95.1% similarity). The genome of strain TS118T is constituted by one chromosome (5,691,492 bp) and one plasmid (28,440 bp) and has a G + C content of 52.7%. The genome contains 4641 protein coding sequences (CDSs), 38 tRNAs, and 11 rRNAs. The predominant fatty acids of strain TS118T were C161 ω5c, iso-C150, C160, summed feature 3 (C161 ω6c and/or C161 ω7c), and iso-C170 3-OH. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified amino lipid and an unidentified aminophospholipid. The main respiratory quinone was menaquinone-7 (MK-7). The novel strain showed resistance to gamma radiation with a D10 value (i.e., the dose required to reduce the bacterial population by tenfold) of 4.3 kGy. Based on the phylogenetic, physiological, and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain TS118T represents a novel species, for which the name Spirosoma taeanense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TS118T (=KCTC 72898T =JCM 34024T).Isolation of novel actinobacteria from unexplored habitats as potential sources of novel drug leads has utmost importance. During the course of screening arid soil samples for novel actinobacteria, strain H3C3T was isolated from Malatya, Turkey and its taxonomic position was revealed by a genome-based polyphasic approach. Pairwise sequence comparison of the 16S rRNA gene showed that the strain is closely related to Actinomadura fibrosa JCM 9371T with sequence identity level of 99.0%. link3 Comparative genome analyses based on digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity indicated that strain H3C3T represents a novel species within the genus Actinomadura. The strain has typical characteristics of the genus Actinomadura, i.e. meso-diaminopimelic acid as diagnostic amino acid; galactose, glucose, madurose and ribose as whole-cell sugars. Major menaquinones detected were MK-9(H6), MK-9(H8) and polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, glycophospholipid and unknown phospholipid and lipids. Its genome size is approximately 10.2 Mb with G+C content of 71.6%. Further genomic analyses of strain H3C3T indicated its high potential for novel biosynthetic gene clusters coding for various chemical structures. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses, strain H3C3T represents a novel species of the genus Actinomadura, for which Actinomadura rubrisoli sp. nov. is proposed, and it holds high promise for novel biosynthetic metabolites of value to biopharmaceutical industry.A Gram-stain negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, yellow-coloured bacterium, designated strain 17J28-1T, was isolated from soil of Jeju Island, Korea. Optimal growth was found to occur at 30 °C, at pH 6.0 and in the absence of NaCl on R2A at 30 °C. Strain 17J28-1T showed resistance to UV-radiation. The draft genome sequence of strain 17J28-1T is 4804,510 bp long with a 49.4% G + C content. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain 17J28-1T forms a distinct lineage within the family Chitinophagaceae (order Chitinophagales, class Chitinophagia) and is closely related to Cnuella takakiae (93.7% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Flavisolibacter ginsengiterrae (93.1%). In addition, genomic comparison using digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) and OrthoANI analyses between the novel organism and the members of the family Chitinophagaceae revealed identities of 65.5-74.1% and 18.1-28%, respectively. The predominant cellular fatty acids were identified as C150 iso, C151 iso G and C170 iso 3-OH and the major respiratory quinone as MK-7. Based on these data we propose that strain 17J28-1T (= KCTC 62223T = JCM 33202T) represents a novel genus and species in the family Chitinophagaceae, for which the name Pseudocnuella soli gen. nov. sp. nov. is proposed.Children's feet are complex structures and strategies for supporting good foot health throughout childhood can be challenging. Greater awareness of the contemporary factors influencing decisions, such as footwear purchases, is needed to inform health narratives which are more closely aligned to parents' attitude and behaviours. The aim of this study was to explore parent's knowledge of children's foot health, understand the common foot health concerns and experiences with footcare services. A purposeful sampling approach was used to recruit parents of children aged 5 years and under. Participants completed a self-administered, online survey which consisted of 39 questions across six sections (1) Participant demographics; (2) Developmental events (milestones such as crawling and walking); (3) Foot health concerns; (4) Developmental aids (products such as baby bouncers and baby walkers); (5) Footwear; and (6) Foot health information. Both adaptive and mandatory questions were used. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise closed-ended questions, and a summative content analysis was adopted to draw inferences from the text data.
