Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant cancers in the world. c-Myc, a well-known oncogene, is commonly amplified in many cancers, including gastric cancer. However, it is still not completely understood how c-Myc functions in GC. Here, we generated a stomach-specific c-Myc transgenic mouse model to investigate its role in GC. We…[Read more]

Conclusion Our study revealed that a high serum IL-6 level in peritoneal dialysis patients increased the risk of a higher Tp-e/QT ratio, which indicated a potentially hazardous interplay between inflammation and arrhythmogenesis.1. Stocking density is an issue for poultry production. High stocking density can impact biochemical parameters,…[Read more]

and an ankle rotation manoeuvre, respectively. Ultrafast-ultrasound was employed to quantify medial gastrocnemius architecture during evoked contraction and a dynamometer was used to measure the muscle torque and quantify the rate of torque development (RTD). Torque and RTD diminished by transverse load application, whereas they increased during…[Read more]

Antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF) can be associated with both proarrhythmic and noncardiovascular toxicities. Practice guidelines recommend tailored AAD therapy for AF based on patient-specific characteristics, such as coronary artery disease and heart failure, to minimize adverse events.…[Read more]

5 h after being stored at 5°C). The diluted semen was loaded into 0.25 mL mini straws, equilibrated, and frozen using a freezing machine. Sperm motility, viability, membranes, DNA integrity, and concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) enzymes were evaluated after thawing.

The results showed that there…[Read more]

Introduction Cesarean birth is reported to be risk factor for the delayed onset of maternal lactation. The purpose of this study was to describe the timing of lactation initiation, subsequent feeding/milk expression patterns, and daily milk volumes among women who had a cesarean birth of an infant with a known congenital anomaly during the 3-day…[Read more]

Results Resveratrol-treated U251 cells, but not resveratrol-treated LN428 cells, exhibited remarkable growth arrest and extensive apoptosis accompanied by elevated intracellular ROS levels and attenuated SOD2 and catalase expression. Mitochondrial impairment and more distinct increases in the expression of activated caspase-9 and caspase-3 were…[Read more]
