Dysregulated miR-30e-5p in periodontitis inhibits the osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells by inhibiting CHD7.

This study is expected to investigate the role of miR-30e-5p in chronic periodontitis (CP) and its diagnostic value in CP. First, the level of miR-30e-5p in CP patients was analyzed, and its ability in the clinical diagnosis of CP was analyzed by Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. Subsequently, osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) was induced in vitro.

miR-22 negatively regulating NOD-like receptor protein 3 gene in the proliferation, invasion, and migration of malignant melanoma cells.

Introduction: Malignant melanoma (MM) is a highly aggressive skin tumour.

Aim: To investigate whether miR-22 is involved in the proliferation, invasion, and migration of melanoma cells (MCs) by negatively regulating NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) gene.

Material And Methods: Human MCs (WM239a) and human epidermal melanocytes (HEM) were used as study material.

Metabolomic changes in from after exposure to copper plate.

is a highly detrimental parasite in mariculture, causing significant economic losses to the aquaculture industry of . In recent years, copper and copper alloy materials have been used to kill parasites. In this study, the effect of copper plates on the tomont period of was explored.

Outbreak of Cryptocaryon irritans infection in silver pomfret Pampus argenteus cultured in China.

Silver pomfret Pampus argenteus is a major cultivated marine fish species with a high market value. In summer 2021, Cryptocaryon irritans, a ciliate parasite, infected the cultured silver pomfret in aquaculture ponds in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China. The symptoms of infected fish include white spots on the skin and fins, increased body surface mucus, loss of appetite, irritability, and shedding of scales.

Isorhamnetin attenuates the proliferation, invasion, migration and fibrosis of keloid fibroblasts by targeting S1PR1.

Isorhamnetin (IH) is a type of flavonoid with multiple biological activities, including cardioprotective, antitumor, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. However, the role and potential mechanism of IH in keloids are still not completely understood. The aim of the present study was to explore how IH affects keloid progression.

B7-H4 overexpression impairs the immune response of T cells in human cervical carcinomas.

Objective: To investigate B7-H4 expression and its correlation with the number of infiltrating T lymphocytes and cytokine production by those lymphocytes in human cervical cancer and to determine the effect of recombinant B7-H4 on the active peripheral blood T cells of the patients in vitro.

Methods: B7-H4 expression was detected in 67 cases of cervical cancer using immunohistochemical staining. Tumor-infiltrating CD8(+)T, CD4(+)T, and FOXP3(+) (Forkhead Box P3) T lymphocytes and their levels of IFN-γ and TGF-β₁ production were determined by immunofluorescent double-staining.

Prostate involvement by intravascular large B-cell lymphoma: a case report with literature review.

Prostate involvement by intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBL) is extremely rare. Until now, only 6 cases have been reported in the literature. In this article, the authors report a case of a 65-year-old Chinese man with IVLBL located in the prostate.

An endothelial-cell-enriched primary culture system to study vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF A) expression in a teleost, the Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica).

A partial gene for eel (Anguilla japonica) vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been cloned and an endothelial-cell-enriched primary culture derived from rete mirabile established to study regulation of the expression of the eel VEGF gene. Cells were cultured in M199 medium containing 0.1% fetal calf serum (FCS) and serum-free M199 medium for long-and short-term experiments, respectively.
