Further functional investigation showed ARHGAP5-AS1 could inhibit cell migration via suppression of stress fibers in breast cancer cell lines. Afterwards, SMAD7 was further identified to interact with ARHGAP5-AS1 by its PY motif and thus its ubiquitination and degradation was blocked due to reduced interaction with E3 ligase SMURF1 and SMURF2. Moreover, ARHGAP5-AS1 could inhibit TGF-β signaling pathway due to its inhibitory role on SMAD7.

ARHGAP5-AS1 inhibits breast cancer cell migration via stabilization of SMAD7 protein and could serve as a novel biomarker and a potential target for breast cancer in the future.

Overuse injuries are common in sporting children and adolescents. These injuries are a particular concern when they involve the epiphyseal-physeal-metaphyseal (EPM) complex given their potential to disturb skeletal growth. Specifically, the limits of mechanical tolerance of the EPM complex to repetitive stress may be exceeded by the intense and continuous training characteristic of many youth sports today.

This article describes the present status of knowledge on the occurrence and outcome of primary periphyseal stress injuries (PPSIs) affecting the EPM complex in the extremities of children and adolescents involved in youth sports.

A comprehensive review of the sports medicine literature was conducted to determine the nature and extent of PPSIs affecting the EPM complex of the extremities among youth sports participants and the potential for consequent skeletal growth disturbance and resultant limb deformity associated with these injuries.

Our initial search uncovered 128 original published scientifiies designed to provide incidence rates of PPSIs and to determine the effect of PPSIs on long-term skeletal health are also necessary.

PPSIs may affect the extremities of children and adolescents engaged in a variety of youth sports, especially at advanced levels of training and competition. Most skeletally immature patients with PPSIs respond well to timely treatment; however, in extreme cases, PPSIs can progress to produce skeletal growth disruption which may necessitate surgical intervention. Clearly, establishing the early diagnosis of PPSIs and providing timely treatment of these injuries are needed to ensure the skeletal health of youth sports participants. Rigorous prospective longitudinal epidemiological and imaging studies designed to provide incidence rates of PPSIs and to determine the effect of PPSIs on long-term skeletal health are also necessary.

Inappropriate medication use can affect functional independence in older adults.

The aim of the study is to examine associations between potentially inappropriate medication use and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) in geriatric rehabilitation inpatients.

A longitudinal, prospective, observational study was undertaken at a teaching hospital. Potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) and potential prescribing omissions (PPOs) were measured at acute admission, and at admission and discharge from geriatric rehabilitation. Associations between PIM and PPO use and ADL and IADL scores were examined at admission to geriatric rehabilitation, discharge and 3-month post-discharge.

A total of 693 inpatients were included. At the 3-month post-discharge, PPOs were associated with lower IADL scores (incident rate ratio = 0.868, 95% CI 0.776-0.972). There were no significant associations between PIMs and PPOs use at admission to geriatric rehabilitation with longin reducing PPOs in geriatric rehabilitation inpatients that can potentially impact IADLs. In the community, health professionals need to be vigilant about assessing how older patients' physical functioning may be affected by inappropriate medication prescribing.

To characterize female pediatric and adolescent patients seen for fertility preservation consultation at an academic medical center and to describe the association between demographic or clinical factors and the use of fertility preservation treatment (FPT).

This is a retrospective chart analysis of female pediatric and adolescent patients seen for fertility preservation consultation at an academic fertility center over a 14-year period from 2005 to 2019.

One hundred six females aged 3-21 years were seen for fertility preservation consultation with a mean age of 16.6 years. Diagnoses included hematologic malignancies (41.5%), gynecologic malignancies (9.4%), other malignancies (31.1%), non-malignant hematologic disease (14.2%), and non-malignant conditions (3.8%). Overall, 64.2% of subjects pursued fertility preservation, including oocyte cryopreservation (35.8%) and ovarian tissue cryopreservation (23.6%). Overall, age, minority race, diagnosis, time since diagnosis, and median household income were not significantly associated with odds of completing an FPT procedure. Among all patients, those who underwent gonadotoxic therapy prior to consultation had a lower odds of receiving FPT (OR= 0.24, 95% CI 0.10-0.55). Among patients without chemotherapy exposure, no factors were associated with FPT.

Among pediatric and adolescent patients at an academic center undergoing a fertility preservation consultation, there were no socioeconomic or clinical barriers to FPT use in those who had not yet undergone gonadotoxic therapy. The only factor that was negatively associated with odds of pursuing FPT was prior chemotherapy exposure.

The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades play important roles in various signaling transduction networks of biotic and abiotic stress responses. However, MAPK signaling pathways in cold-active yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa have not been reported comprehensively.

In the present study, MAPK gene (RmMAPK) was first cloned and characterized from Antarctic sea ice yeast R. mucilaginosa AN5. The full length of the RmMAPK gene is 1086bp and encodes a 361 amino acids protein with a predicted molecular mass of 40.9kDa and a pI of 5.25. The RmMAPK contains 11 MAPK conserved subdomains and the phosphorylation motif TGY located in the activation loop of the kinase. Quantitative real-time PCR and western blot assay revealed that the expression and phosphorylation level of RmMAPK up-regulated rapidly and significantly when yeast cells were subjected to low temperature (4°C), high salinity (120‰ NaCl) and heavy metal (2mmol/L CuCl

).

All data suggested that the MAPK cascades might act as a key function in response to extreme stresses, such as low temperature, high salinity and heavy metal.

Their development not only affects each other but also are most likely associated with anomalies in other systems. It is essential to recognize the stages of spine development to understand the cause of congenital spinal deformities and their influences on the postnatal growing spine. A vast majority of congenital spinal problems are not evident clinically. For instance, the presence of neural axis abnormalities, such as spinal dysraphism or syringomyelia, may be so subtle that patients never seek medical care. Certain vertebral formation disorders such as hemivertebrae may remain asymptomatic throughout life if they are balanced while those with congenital bars may develop severe deformity. Major defects in the spine are often associated with abnormalities of the other organs such as cardiovascular and genital urinary system that warrants close attention by multidisciplinary specialists. A thorough understanding of the basics of embryology, which serves as a window into the development of the spine, is necessary to enable the practitioner to appreciate why, when, and where the numerous spine deformities develop in utero. Besides, certain developmental defects manifest in adulthood including spondylolysis, degenerative disc disease, congenital spinal stenosis, and even tumors like cordoma. Thus, understanding embryology can assist to establish the proper diagnosis and ensure optimal treatment.Contamination with heavy metals in wild red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) from 7 different geographical areas in six provinces of China (Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, and Shandong) was evaluated. Concentrations of chromium (Cr), arsenic (As), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg) in the abdominal muscle, gonad, and hepatopancreas were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and atomic fluorescence spectrometer (AFS). Except for the Cd content in the hepatopancreas, the contents of selected heavy metals in three different tissues were significantly lower than the proposed limits provided by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The maximum accumulations of Cd and Pb were in the hepatopancreas, while the maximum accumulation of As was in the gonad, and the maximum accumulations of Hg and Cr were in the abdominal muscle. The highest contents of Cr, Hg, and Pb were all detected in Dongting Lake, Hunan, which was consistent with the trend of the metal pollution index (MPI). Risk value of the target hazard quotient (THQ) was below 1.0, suggesting that the intake of selected heavy metals through crayfish consumption would not pose a significant health risk to consumers.Lake surface water temperature (LSWT) plays an important role in the metabolism of aquatic organisms, and is also an important indicator in lake ecosystems which affects the ecology and biogeochemical processes of lakes. The current research mainly focuses on the long-term trends of LSWT and the impact of climate warming on LSWT. Researchers have not paid enough attention to the study of extreme changes in trend of LSWT. GSK3326595 An ice-free lake in China called Dianchi Lake was selected as our research area. We carried out a quantitative analysis of and provided a discussion on the changes in the maximum lake surface water temperature (MLSWT) from 2001 to 2018 at two timescales (month and year) based on MODIS 11A2 composite product data and water temperature environment of cyanobacteria outbreaks. The results showed that the MLSWT of Dianchi Lake increased between 2001 and 2018 and continued to exceed the temperature threshold (17.6°C) for cyanobacterial outbreaks during some timeframes and that the duration of high temperatures also increased. This phenomenon will extend the suitable growth period of cyanobacteria and will have a complex and long-term impact on water quality, the lake ecological environment, and the growth of aquatic organisms.Cities are faced with various kinds of pollution issues in the process of economic development, among which industrial pollution has become the most terrifying environmental issue in recent years, so that industrial pollution control should be emphasized. Finding out the key factors influencing industrial pollutant emissions is the basis of taking corresponding measures. Previous studies only focused on one pollutant without a comparative analysis of the contribution of influencing factors to multiple pollutants. Therefore, this study aims to identify the key influencing factors of industrial pollutants in Nanjing, Suzhou, Xuzhou, and Taizhou in Jiangsu Province during the years 2008-2018 by using the logarithmic mean Divisia index (LMDI) method. The results from decomposition indicate the following. (1) Emission intensity (EI) and energy efficiency (EE) are negative factors for decreasing industrial pollutant emissions, while the economic output (EO) and population (P) are positive factors for increasing industrial pollutant emissions.
