Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a frequent diagnosed malignancy. microRNAs (miRs) are involved in various cellular processes during cancer development. This study attempted to probe the miR-based mechanism in hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx) small interfering RNA (siRNA)-treated HCC cells. Methods HBx expression in hepatocyte and HCC…[Read more]

Approaches to and benefits from resistance training for non-compromised older adults are well known. Less is understood about resistance training with pre-frail older adults, and even less information is available on the practical approaches to delivery. Herein, we describe an approach in pre-frail females who undertook a multi-component exercise…[Read more]

The current data add to the accumulating knowledge that coronavirus disease 19 may negatively impact the osseointegration and it requires further research.

Displaced fractures of the zygomatic bone that require surgical treatment are accessed transcutaneously but these accesses to the skin can cause a hypertrophy scar in patients with this…[Read more]

As a result, the related cumulative environmental and health effects can be more intensive. It can be emphasized that all countries located in the coastal areas of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman need to modify their solid waste management, plastic waste in particular, policies to conserve sensitive marine ecosystems.False killer whales are…[Read more]

ents led to several novel findings, including divergence of population attributes during selection to favor regular verbs, irregular verbs, or both; evidence of canalization, analogous to Waddington’s developmental epigenetic landscape, once selection starts targeting a particular aspect of the task domain; and the limiting effect on the power of…[Read more]

Results For EM with and without four splinted interformaninal implants, all traumatic loads generated the highest stress levels at the mandibular neck region. However, in the EM with four splinted interforaminal implants, an anterior symphyseal force application generated significantly (p less then 0.01) increased stress values in the…[Read more]
