Objective: This study was designed with objective to study pain response of infants to change in sequence of administration of Hepatitis B and DTwP vaccines.
Methods: This was a randomized parallel control trial. The study was carried out in the immunization clinic of the Department of Pediatrics, LLRM Medical College, Meerut. One hundred and thirty healthy term infants up to 4 months of age were injected either DTwP vaccine first or Hepatitis B vaccine first, followed one minute later by the other vaccine.
Result: Baseline characteristics did not differ between the groups. The mean (SD) of AUC of MFCS and NIPS was significantly more in DF group as compared to HF group (for MFCS 25.5 ± 5.4 versus 22.5 ± 5.5, p<0.01; for NIPS 31.77 ± 5.5 versus 27.64 ± 6.9, p < 0.01). Similarly mean (SD) of AUC of Heart rate and saturation of oxygen showed significant variation in DF group as compared to HF group (for heart rate 591.6 ± 55 versus 559.6 ± 49, p< 0.01; for SpO2 326.4 ± 12 versus 335 ± 8, p < 0.01).
Conclusion: These results showed that infant experienced lesser pain when Hepatitis B was administered first than when DTwP vaccine was given first.

Background: Photoplethysmography (PPG) signals captured by wearable devices can provide vascular age information and support pervasive and long-term monitoring of personal health condition.
Objective: In this study, we aimed to estimate brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) from wrist PPG and electrocardiography (ECG) from smartwatch.
Methods: A total of 914 wrist PPG and ECG sequences and 278 baPWV measurements were collected via the smartwatch from 80 men and 82 women with average age of 63.

Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of lipid-laden foam cells and plaques within the arterial wall. Dysfunctional vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and macrophages contribute to disease progression. Here, we report that macrophage-specific expression of epsins, highly conserved endocytic adaptor proteins involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis, accelerates atherosclerosis in Western diet-fed mice.

As essential sources of vegetables, oilseeds, and forage, Brassica crops exhibit complex epigenetic regulation mechanisms involving histone modifications, DNA modifications, RNA modifications, noncoding RNAs, and chromatin remodelling. The agronomic traits and environmental adaptability of crops are regulated by both genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, while epigenetic variation can affect plant phenotypes without changing gene sequences. Furthermore, the impact of epigenetic modifications on plant phenotype has accelerated the crop breeding process.

To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of non-HPV-related common differentiated penile squamous cell carcinoma, and to observe and analyze the changes of TP53 gene and the expression and significance of TP53, P16, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), androgen receptor (AR), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2), and Ki67 proteins in tumor tissue. A total of 65 patients with penile squamous cell carcinoma diagnosed from May 2008 to May 2020 in Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, and tumors were confirmed as non-HPV-associated common differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the penis with negative HPV molecular tests in 55 patients. The relevant clinicopathological data of 55 patients were collected, and the TP53 gene mutation was detected by applying first-generation sequencing technology.

Background: Diverse correlations between structural brain abnormalities and the clinical feature of bulimia nervosa (BN) have been identified in previous observational studies.
Objective: To explore the bidirectional causality between BN and brain structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) phenotypes.
Methods: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of 2441 participants identified genetic variants associated with disordered eating and predicted BN, whereas UK Biobank 3D-T1 MRI data were used to analyze brain structural phenotypes.
