N6-methyladenosine (m6A) regulators are involved in the progression of various cancers via regulating m6A modification. However, the potential role and mechanism of the m6A modification in osteosarcoma remains obscure. In this study, WTAP was found to be highly expressed in osteosarcoma tissue and it was an independent prognostic factor for…[Read more]

EDD has previously been applied to GAGs and is known to produce both glycosidic and cross-ring cleavages in similar abundance. CTD has not previously been used to analyze GAGs but has been shown to produce abundant cross-ring cleavages and no sulfate loss when applied to another class of sulfated carbohydrates like algal polysaccharides. In…[Read more]

Hypodermic needles and syringes are currently the main route of the transdermal administration. Many complaints associated with needle-stick injuries, needle phobia, and needle abuse have motivated the development of alternative drug delivery strategies. Pneumatic needle-free injections stand out from various alternative strategies because of the…[Read more]

EGR1 was predicted as a potential candidate target gene of miR-217 by TargetScan. The subsequent dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed the direct binding of miR-217 to 3’UTR of EGR1. And EGR1 expression was negatively correlated with the level of miRNA-217 in HAECs after exposure to ox-LDL. Overexpression of EGR1 recapitulated the effects of…[Read more]

The compatibility of Bupleurum chinense DC (Chaihu)-Paeonia lactiflora Pall (Baishao) is one of the most accepted herb pairs in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescriptions for treating depression. However, the combination mechanisms of this herb pair for anti-depression remain unclear.

In this study, the combined effect of…[Read more]

For young children, primary diagnoses of CM, specific injury presentations (eg, rib fractures and retinal haemorrhages) and assaults showed a high PPV for CM (pooled PPVs 55.9%-87.8%). Indicators of IPV in women had a high PPV, with primary diagnoses correctly identifying IPV in >85% of cases.

Coded indicators in EHRs have a high…[Read more]

We sought to report on the use of wide-awake local anesthesia and no tourniquet (WALANT) for internal fixation of metacarpal fractures. We retrospectively examined 10 patients with metacarpal fractures that required either closed reduction and internal fixation (CRIF) or open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). WALANT was administered…[Read more]
