n additional conditions are required for approval of a new treatment in a lower response subgroup, easily applied rules based on minimum effect sizes and relaxed interaction tests are available. Choice of rule is influenced by the proportion of patients sampled from the two subgroups but less so by the correlation between subgroup effects.…[Read more]

Low and middle-income countries (LMICs) lack trained child mental health professionals. While teachers’ child development experience potentially positions them to fill the gap as lay mental health counselors, they have rarely delivered indicated child mental health care in LMICs. As part of assessing the feasibility of teachers serving as lay…[Read more]

The use of aptamers in bioanalytical and biomedical applications exploits their ability to recognize cell surface protein receptors. Targeted therapeutics and theranostics come to mind in this regard. However, protein receptors occur on both cancer and normal cells; as such, aptamers are now taxed with identifying high vs. low levels of protein…[Read more]

Bioinformatic prediction suggested that TXNIP might be a target of miR-20b, and luciferase reporter assay revealed that miR-20b negatively regulated TXNIP expression by directly binding to the 3′-UTR of TXNIP. Downregulation of TXNIP inhibited OGD/R-induced neurons apoptosis in vitro and ischemic brain injury in vivo. Rescue experiments indicated…[Read more]

In contrast, BPTO shows no stereochemical evidence of the inert pair.Enzymatic hydrolysis could be one of the crucial means to limit the allergenicity of allergens. The allergenicity of pea peptides was evaluated using indirect ELISA and RBL-2H3 cell assay, thereby obtaining hypoallergenic pea peptide sequences. Results indicated that pea…[Read more]
