Translation ethics is an important aspect of Translation Studies that has gained increasing attention in recent years. From an ethical perspective, this study investigates the onscreen commenting system: danmu subtitling, an emergent non-professional and collaborative translation practice popular in Asian communities. Adopting, modifying and expanding Andrew Chesterman's models of translation ethics, i.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Osteosarcoma (OS) remains a highly aggressive malignancy with limited treatment options, necessitating the discovery of novel therapeutic agents. Demethylzeylasteral (DEM), a compound previously shown to exert anti-tumor properties in several malignancies, has not been sufficiently explored for its potential in OS treatment.
Purpose: This study focused on the anti-tumor properties of DEM on OS cells as well as the potential mechanisms.
Background: History-taking is an essential clinical competency for qualified doctors. The limitations of the standardized patient (SP) in taking history can be addressed by the virtual standardized patient (VSP). This paper investigates the accuracy of virtual standardized patient simulators and evaluates the applicability of the improved system's accuracy for diagnostic teaching support and performance assessment.

With the continuous innovation of genomics, proteomics and molecular biological detection technology, the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has changed from traditional chemotherapy to immunotherapy and targeted therapy. Among them, molecular tumor markers targeting tyrosine kinase pathways play more important roles in clinical practice. For advanced NSCLC patients with positive epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, there are many first-line drugs on the market and they could bring significant efficacy, thus completely subverting the treatment pattern of advanced NSCLC.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: Recent knowledge concerning the significance of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)-mediated ceRNA networks provides new insight into their possible roles as specific biomarkers for the treatment of osteosarcoma (OS). Thus, this study aims to clarify the functional relevance and mechanistic actions of lncRNA LBX2-AS1 in OS.
Methods: Differential analysis was performed by integrating the TCGA and GTEx databases.

Background: Osteosarcoma has become the most common bone malignancy in adolescents. Although the clinical treatment of osteosarcoma has advanced considerably in recent years, the 5-year survival rate has not improved significantly. Recently, many studies have shown that mRNA has unique advantages as a target for drug therapy.

Bilirubin plays a key role in oxidative stress-associated events, including malignancies, making the regulation of its serum levels a potential anti-tumor strategy. Herein, we investigated the association of osteosarcoma prognosis with serum levels of TBIL, IBIL and DBIL, and further explored the mechanisms by which bilirubin affects tumor invasion and migration.

Bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) regulate histone acetylation in tandem, and BET and HDACs have emerged as potential cancer therapeutic targets.

Methods: The anti-proliferative effect of WT161 on osteosarcoma cells was examined using MTT assay and colony formation assay.
The metabolic change of tumor cells is an extremely complicated process that involves the intersection and integration of various signal pathways. Compared with normal tissues, cancer cells show distinguished metabolic characteristics called metabolic reprogramming, which has been considered as a sign of cancer occurrence. With the deepening of tumor research in recent years, people gradually found that amino acid metabolism played crucial roles in cancer progression.

Osteosarcoma, a highly aggressive malignant tumor of the bone, usually occurs in children and young adults. However, although the considerable achievement in the clinical treatment of osteosarcoma recent years, the overall survival of osteosarcoma patients has not been obviously improved. Cancer cells preferentially use glycolysis instead of oxidative phosphorylation to meet their increased energetic and biosynthetic demands, a phenomenon known as the Warburg effect.

Methods: To divide into two groups: fifty-two patients with sliding esophageal hiatal hernia diagnosed with gastroscopy and X-ray barium meal examination accepted operation. Forty-seven cases were treated by Nissen's operation.
