Bone metastasis (BM) is a major contributor to poor prognosis of prostate cancer (PCa); however, the underlying mechanisms of PCa BM remain poorly understood. A better understanding of these processes may provide critical insights for developing effective preventive and therapeutic strategies for PCa BM. In this study, significant upregulation of CCDC183-AS1 in PCa BM is identified, which is associated with disease progression.

Virtual try-on technology seeks to seamlessly integrate an image of a specified garment onto the target person, generating a synthesized image that realistically depicts the person wearing the clothing. Existing methods based on generative adversarial network (GAN) for clothing warping in the generation process usually use human pose- and body parsing-based features to guide the distortion of a flattened clothing item. However, it is hard using these approaches to accurately capture the spatial characteristics of the distorted clothing (e.

Background: The vesicular nucleotide transporter Solute Carrier Family 17 Member 9 (SLC17A9) has recently been recognized as a significant modulator of oncogenic pathways, with its elevated expression levels being closely linked to the aggressiveness of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). A comprehensive understanding of the role of SLC17A9 and its associated protein markers presents substantial potential for the advancement of targeted therapeutic interventions.
Methods: Our study commenced with a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis to identify differentially expressed genes potentially associated with ccRCC.
Paeoniae Radix Alba (PRA, called Baishao in China) is the dried root of Pall. In clinical practice, PRA has been used to treat cardiovascular disease, menstrual disorders, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and liver disease, among other conditions. This review provides a systematic summary of its traditional uses, geographical distribution and current cultivation situation, phytochemistry, pharmacokinetics, pharmacology, quality control, and toxicology.

Neuroinflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders, and despite intensive research, treatment of neuroinflammation remains limited. BaiXiangDan capsule (BXD) is widely used in clinical practice. However, systematic studies on the direct role and mechanisms of BXD in neuroinflammation are still lacking.

Aggressive behaviors are one of the most important negative behaviors that seriously endangers human health. Also, the central para-inflammation of microglia triggered by stress can affect neurological function, plasticity, and behavior. NLRP3 integrates stress-related signals and is a key driver of this neural para-inflammation.

Background: PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a class of noncoding RNAs originally reported in the reproductive system of mammals and later found to be aberrantly expressed in tumors. However, the function and mechanism of piRNAs in testicular cancer are not very clear.
Methods: The expression level and distribution of piR-36249 were detected by RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence staining assay.

The lack of vaccine safety data in this unique population may cause hesitancy and concern for many families and health care professionals.
Objective: To describe adverse reactions following COVID-19 vaccination in patients with a history of MIS-C.
Ethnopharmacological Relevance: As a typical prescription for soothing the liver, Xiangshao granule has a good effect on the symptoms of irritability and anxiety. Clinical evidence suggests that it has significant efficacy in the treatment of Premenstrual dysphoria disorder (PMDD). However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

It is known that the long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) MALAT1 is associated with tumorigenesis and progression in various cancers; however, its functions and mechanisms in prostate cancer (PCa) initiation and progression are still unknown. In the present study, our findings revealed that MALAT1 plays a critical part in regulating PCa proliferation and glucose metabolism. Knockdown of MALAT1 affects the protein and mRNA levels of MYBL2.

To date, little is known about the cellular functions and regulatory mechanisms of NEAT1 in prostate cancer (PCa). In this study, whole-genome RNA sequencing data were downloaded from TCGA and GEO databases.

Neuroinflammatory response is the immune response mechanism of the innate immune system of the central nervous system. Both primary and secondary injury can activate neuroinflammatory response. Among them, the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome plays a key role in the inflammatory response of the central system.
