Small nucleolar RNA host gene 25 (SNHG25), a long noncoding RNA, has been well-studied in epithelial ovarian cancer. However, the specific functions of SNHG25 in endometrial cancer (EC) have not been studied yet. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the clinical significance of SNHG25 in EC and determine the regulatory activity of SNHG25 on the tumor-associated EC phenotype. We also thoroughly explored the molecular mechanisms underlying SNHG25 function in EC.

Gene expression was measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The detailed functions of SNHG25 in EC were examined by performing loss-of-function experiments. Moreover, the regulatory mechanisms involving SNHG25, microRNA-497-5p, and fatty acid synthase (FASN) were unveiled using the luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation.

We observed a high level of SNHG25 in EC using the TCGA dataset and our study cohort. Patients with a high SNHG25 level had shorter overall survival than those with a low SNHG25 level. SNHG25 deficiency resulted in tumor-repressing activities in EC cells by decreasing cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and promoting cell apoptosis. Furthermore, the function of SNHG25 depletion in impairing tumor growth in vivo was confirmed. SNHG25 sequestered miR-497-5p as a competing endogenous RNA in EC and consequently positively regulated FASN expression. Thus, the decrease in miR-497-5p or increase in FASN could neutralize the modulatory actions of SNHG25 knockdown in EC cells.

The depletion of SNHG25 impedes the oncogenicity of EC by targeting the miR-497-5p/FASN axis. The newly elucidated SNHG25/miR-497-5p/FASN pathway may be a promising target for the molecular-targeted management of EC.

Circular RNA (circRNA) is recently found to participate in the regulation of tumor progression, including ovarian cancer. However, the application of circRNA SET domain bifurcated histone lysine methyltransferase 1 (circSETDB1) as a therapeutic target in serous ovarian cancer (SOC) remains to be elucidated. Herein, circSETDB1 role in SOC malignant progression and underlying mechanism are revealed.

The expression of circSETDB1, microRNA-129-3p (miR-129-3p) and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 3 (MAP3K3) messenger RNA (mRNA) was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. link2 Protein abundance was determined by western blot analysis. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and migration were demonstrated by cell counting kit-8 and 5-Ethynyl-29-deoxyuridine assays, flow cytometry analysis, transwell invasion assay and wound-healing assay, respectively. The interaction between miR-129-3p and circSETDB1 or MAP3K3 was predicted by online database, and identified by mechanism assays. The effect of circSETDB1 knockdown on tumor formation in vivo was unveiled by mouse model experiment.

CircSETDB1 and MAP3K3 expression were apparently upregulated, whereas miR-129-3p expression was downregulated in SOC tissues and cells in comparison with normal fallopian tube tissues or normal ovarian epithelial cells. CircSETDB1 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation, invasion and migration, but induced cell apoptosis in SOC cells. Additionally, miR-129-3p inhibitor impaired circSETDB1 silencing-mediated SOC malignant progression. MiR-129-3p repressed SOC cell processes via binding to MAP3K3. link3 Furthermore, circSETDB1 knockdown suppressed tumor growth in vivo.

CircSETDB1 silencing repressed SOC malignant progression through miR-129-3p/MAP3K3 pathway. This study supports circSETDB1 as a new therapeutic target for SOC.

Shoulder function complications are common after treatment for breast cancer. Quite a few survivors still report a limited shoulder range of motion, even though the free range-of-motion upper limb exercise is helpful to restore shoulder function. Mirror therapy (MT) is a classical and effective rehabilitation technique to recover motor and sensory function for the limbs; in addition, studies have reported that MT has an influence on patients with shoulder functional dysfunction including increasing shoulder range of motion, improving shoulder function scores, and decreasing pain scores. Here, we describe a protocol of a randomized controlled trial to explore if free range-of-motion upper limb exercise based on MT has efficacy on shoulder function in survivors after surgery of breast cancer.

This is a prospective, single-blind, two-arm randomized controlled trial. An estimated 70 participants will be randomly allocated to (1) the MT group or (2) the control group. The participants in the control group recest cancer rehabilitation and MT.

Selective registration, publication, and outcome reporting of clinical trials distort the primary clinical evidence that is available to patients and clinicians regarding the safety and efficacy of US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medical devices. The purpose of this study is to compare registration, publication, and outcome reporting among pivotal clinical trials that supported FDA approval of high-risk (class III) cardiovascular devices before and after the FDA Amendment Act (FDAAA) was enacted in 2007.

Using publicly available data from ClinicalTrials.gov , FDA summaries, and PubMed, we determined registration, publication, and reporting of findings for all pivotal clinical studies supporting FDA approval of new high-risk cardiovascular devices between 2005 and 2020, before and after FDAAA. For published studies, we compared both the primary efficacy outcome with the FDA's Premarket Approval (PMA) primary efficacy outcome and the published interpretation of findings with the FDA reviewer'dical devices. Among published trials, rates of accurate primary efficacy outcome reporting and trial interpretation were high and no different post-FDAAA.

FDAAA was associated with increased registration, result reporting, and publication for trials supporting FDA approval of high-risk medical devices. Among published trials, rates of accurate primary efficacy outcome reporting and trial interpretation were high and no different post-FDAAA.

There is an urgent need to identify potential targets in anticancer therapy to improve the survival and prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer (OC). Herein, we investigated the functional significance of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 14 (CXCL14) in OC cell growth and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

qRT PCR and western blotting was used to detect CXCL14 mRNA level and protein expression, respectively. The functional mechanism of CXCL14 in OC was investigated by CCK-8, colony formation and transwell assays. The migration ability of OC cell was determined using wound healing. The protein expressions of CXCL14 and β-catenin in OC tissues were determined by immumohistochemical staining.

We demonstrated that high levels of CXCL14 were associated with a worse prognosis in patients with OC. CXCL14 knockdown considerably restrained the growth, migration and invasion of OC cell in vitro. In contrast, ectopic CXCL14 overexpression yielded the opposite results. Investigations to determine the underlying molecular mechanisms revealed that the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is involved in CXCL14-facilitated OC cell invasiveness.

These data collectively demonstrate that CXCL14 contributes to OC cell growth and metastatic potential by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Computational tools for identifying bacterial promoters have been around for decades. However, most of these tools were designed to recognize promoters in one or few bacterial species. Here, we present Promotech, a machine-learning-based method for promoter recognition in a wide range of bacterial species. We compare Promotech's performance with the performance of five other promoter prediction methods. Promotech outperforms these other programs in terms of area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC) or precision at the same level of recall.

The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic had a relatively minimal direct impact on critical illness in children compared to adults. However, children and paediatric intensive care units (PICUs) were affected indirectly. We analysed the impact of the pandemic on PICU admission patterns and patient characteristics in the UK and Ireland.

We performed a retrospective cohort study of all admissions to PICUs in children < 18years during Jan-Dec 2020, using data collected from 32 PICUs via a central database (PICANet). Admission patterns, case-mix, resource use, and outcomes were compared with the four preceding years (2016-2019) based on the date of admission.

There were 16,941 admissions in 2020 compared to an annual average of 20,643 (range 20,340-20,868) from 2016 to 2019. During 2020, there was a reduction in all PICU admissions (18%), unplanned admissions (20%), planned admissions (15%), and bed days (25%). There was a 41% reduction in respiratory admissions, and a 60% reduction in children adminalysis of wider and longer-term societal impact of the pandemic and public health interventions on physical and mental health of children is required.

The use of a high-quality international database allowed robust comparisons between admission data prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic. A significant reduction in prevalence of unplanned admissions, respiratory diseases, and fewer child deaths in PICU observed may be related to the targeted COVID-19 public health interventions during the pandemic. However, analysis of wider and longer-term societal impact of the pandemic and public health interventions on physical and mental health of children is required.

We assessed the prognostic accuracy of the standardized electroencephalography (EEG) patterns ("highly malignant," "malignant," and "benign") according to the EEG timing (early vs. late) and investigated the EEG features to enhance the predictive power for poor neurologic outcome at 1month after cardiac arrest.

This prospective, multicenter, observational, cohort study using data from Korean Hypothermia Network prospective registry included adult patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) treated with targeted temperature management (TTM) and underwent standard EEG within 7days after cardiac arrest from 14 university-affiliated teaching hospitals in South Korea between October 2015 and December 2018. Early EEG was defined as EEG performed within 72h after cardiac arrest. The primary outcome was poor neurological outcome (Cerebral Performance Category score 3-5) at 1month.

Among 489 comatose OHCA survivors with a median EEG time of 46.6h, the "highly malignant" pattern (40.7%) was most prevalent, followed by the "benign" (33.
