KGaA, Weinheim.Cervical cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy, with high incidence and mortality rates in China. check details The microRNA miR-485-5p has previously been reported to serve as a negative regulator of tumorigenesis in breast cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma, and miR-485-5p has been observed to be differentially expressed between cervical cancer and normal control tissue. Here, we confirmed that miR-485-5p expression is lower in cervical cancer than in adjacent normal tissue and proceeded to investigate the effects of miR-485 on tumor behavior in cervical cancer cell lines. We report that miR-485-5p transcription is decreased in HPV-infected cervical cancer tissue, and levels of miR-485 in clinical samples are positively correlated with the 5-year overall survival rate. link2 The transwell assay showed that miR-485-5p inhibited cell invasion and migration but had no influence on apoptosis and cell proliferation. Using a luciferase reporter assay, we demonstrated that miR-485-5p partially abrogated cell migration and proliferation by targeting FLOT-1 mRNA. Transfection of HPV-infected cervical carcinoma cells with an adenovirus vector encoding human FLOT-1 partially diminished the inhibitory effects of miR-485 on cell invasion. Together, these data demonstrated that miR-485-5p suppresses the invasion of cancer cells by targeting FLOT-1 in HPV-infected cervical carcinoma cells. This article is protected by copyright.

Typically, catalysts and catalytic systems are transforming CO 2 preferentially or even exclusively to one of the possible reduction levels and are then optimized for this specific product.  Here we report a cobalt-based catalytic system that enables the adaptive and highly selective transformation of carbon dioxide individually to either the formic acid, the formaldehyde, or the methanol level, demonstrating the possibility of molecular control over the desired product platform. link3 © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.Enynes are an important functionality in organic chemistry. The 1,3-enyne moiety is commonly found in cyclohexanoid natural products produced by endophytic and plant pathogenic fungi. Asperpentyn ( 1 ) is a 1,3-enyne-containing cyclohexanoid terpenoid isolated from Aspergillus and Pestalotiopsis . The genetic basis and biochemical mechanism of 1,3-enyne biosynthesis in 1, and other natural products containing this motif, has remained enigmatic despite their potential ecological roles. Here, we identify the biosynthetic gene cluster and characterize two crucial enzymes in the biosynthesis of 1. We discovered a P450 monooxygenase that has a dual function to first catalyze dehydrogenation of the prenyl chain to generate a cis-diene intermediate and then shows acetylenase activity to yield an alkyne moiety, giving the 1,3-enyne. We also characterized a UbiA prenyltransferase, which is unusual in that it favors transferring a five-carbon prenyl chain, rather than a polyprenyl chain, to a p -hydroxybenzoic acid acceptor. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Using single metal surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum as model system, the enantio-related transition from the monolayer structure into a double layer of the racemic mixture of heptahelicene has been studied with scanning tunneling microscopy. Submolecular resolution reveals enantiopure second layers on Ag(111) and almost enantiopure second layers on Au(111). In analogy to previous results on Cu(111), it is concluded that transition from the 2D first layer racemate into a layered racemate occurs. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC.OBJECTIVES We study the influence of height on labour market outcomes using micro-data from a recent survey that cover 27 post-communist countries. Specifically, we focus on the influence of height on three dimensions of labour market outcome (1) likelihood of employment, (2) occupational sorting, and (3) earnings. METHODS We use micro-data from 2016 Life-In-Transition survey (LITS) which was jointly conducted by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the World Bank. We run several types of regression to show how height influences (1) likelihood of employment, (2) occupational sorting, and (3) earnings. RESULTS When controlling for a comprehensive set of covariates, for each 10 cm increase in height, the probability of getting a job increases by 1% points for males and by 3 for females. Equally, for each 10 cm increase in height, the probability of getting a job increases by 2% points in urban areas and rural areas. Our findings demonstrate that taller women and men are more likely (a) being an employer rather than an employee; (b) to be employed in higher-paid and more prestigious sectors of finance, insurance, and real estate; (c) to be employed in private enterprises. Finally, when occupational sorting and socio-demographics are controlled for, a 10 cm increase in height results in a 5% increase in earning for men, and a 12% increase in earnings for women. CONCLUSIONS Using a diverse sample of 27 post-communist countries, we found that taller individuals have better labour market outcomes in terms of employment, occupational sorting, and earnings. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.BACKGROUND Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration is associated with the accurate determination of tumor grade. However, because it is an invasive procedure there is a need to explore alternative noninvasive procedures. PURPOSE To develop and validate a noncontrast radiomics model for the preoperative prediction of nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NF-pNET) grade (G). STUDY TYPE Retrospective, single-center study. SUBJECTS Patients with pathologically confirmed PNETs (139) were included. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE 3T/breath-hold single-shot fast-spin echo T2 -weighted sequence and unenhanced and dynamic contrast-enhanced T1 -weighted fat-suppressed sequences. ASSESSMENT Tumor features on contrast MR images were evaluated by three board-certified abdominal radiologists. STATISTICAL TESTS Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to develop the clinical model. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method and linear discriminative analysis (LDA) were used to select decision, and screen pNETs grade.

AIM To explore nurses' perspective about the process by which end-of-life communication impacts on the goal of end-of-life care in nursing home residents. DESIGN A qualitative descriptive research design based on thematic analysis was performed. Fourteen nurses involved in the care of residents during their last week of life were recruited across 13 Italian nursing homes and accounted for 34 semi-structured interviews. A combined approach of analysis that incorporated a data-driven inductive approach and a theory-driven one was adopted. RESULTS Twelve themes described how end-of-life communication may contribute to adjust the care plan in nursing home according to the nurses' proving knowledge about family cares' and resident's preferences for end-of-life care, promoting family carers and residents understanding about prognosis and treatments available, and fostering shared decision-making. © 2020 Nordic College of Caring Science.BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET) are commonly encountered movement disorders. Pathophysiologic processes that localize to the cerebellum are described in both. There are limited studies investigating cerebellar structural changes in these conditions, largely because of inherent challenges in the efficiency of segmentation. METHODS We applied a novel multiatlas cerebellar segmentation method to T1-weighted images in 282 PD and 111 essential tremor patients to define 26 cerebellar lobule volumes. The severity of postural and resting tremor in both populations and gait and postural instability in PD patients were defined using subscores of the UPDRS and Washington Heights-Inwood Genetic Study motor scales. These clinical measurements were related to lobule volume size. Multiple comparisons were controlled using a false discovery rate method. RESULTS Group differences were identified between ET and PD patients, with reductions in deep cerebellar nucleus volume in ET versus reduced lobule VI volume in PD. In ET patients, lobule VIII was negatively correlated with the severity of postural tremor. In PD patients, lobule IV was positively correlated with resting tremor and total tremor severity. We observed differences in cerebellar structure that localized to sensorimotor lobules of the cerebellum. Lobule volumes appeared to differentially relate to clinical symptoms, suggesting important clinicopathologic distinctions between these conditions. These results emphasize the role of the cerebellum in tremor symptoms and should foster future clinical and pathologic investigations of the sensorimotor lobules of the cerebellum. © 2020 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society. © 2020 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.BACKGROUND Seizures triggered by eating (STE) behavior are very rare in humans and have not been documented previously in dogs. OBJECTIVES To document the occurrence of STE in dogs and describe their clinical features. ANIMALS Ten client-owned dogs with STE diagnosed at 5 European referral centers. METHODS A call for suspected cases of STE was made online. This call was followed by a retrospective review of medical records, combined with a questionnaire to be completed by both the owner and the board-certified neurologist who made the diagnosis. Cases were included if >50% of the seizures that occurred were related to eating and if a minimum diagnostic evaluation for seizures had been performed. RESULTS Four cases only had STE and 6 cases had both STE and spontaneous seizures. Four of the dogs were retrievers. The most common seizure type was focal epileptic seizures evolving to become generalized. Nine dogs were diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy. One dog had a presumptive diagnosis of glioma involving the margins of the parietal, temporal, and frontal cortex (the perisylvian region), an area known to have a key role in eating-associated epilepsy in people. Treatment strategies included a combination of pharmacological management and eating habit changes. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE We have identified a form of reflex epilepsy in dogs, with STE behavior. Further studies are warranted to improve the characterization and management of STE. © 2020 The Authors.
