MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNA molecules with important gene regulatory roles in normal and pathophysiological cellular processes. Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is an MYC-driven lymphoma of germinal center B (GC-B) cell origin. To gain further knowledge on the role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of BL, we performed small RNA sequencing in BL cell lines…[Read more]

Of a total of 65 patients with COVID-19 admitted to our ICU we included 41 patients with repeated measure of IL-6. There was a significant difference in IL-6 levels between survivors and non-survivors over time (p = 0.001); moreover, non survivors had a significantly higher IL-6 maximal value when compared to survivors (720 [349-2116] vs. 336…[Read more]

The development of non-precious metal electrocatalysts with high activity, good durability and low cost to replace precious metal electrocatalysts is highly demanded for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the higher overpotential, less catalytic sites and lower catalytic rate of precious metal electrocatalysts affect their practical…[Read more]

Although imaging of gliomas has evolved tremendously over the last decades, published techniques and protocols are not always implemented into clinical practice. Furthermore, most of the published literature focuses on specific timepoints in glioma management. This article reviews the current literature on conventional and advanced imaging…[Read more]

6%. Term neonates were 74.4% less likely to have abnormal fontanel size than preterm. Vaginally delivered neonates were 64.2% less likely to have abnormal fontanel size than neonates born by caesarean section. selleck Low birth weight neonates were at risk of abnormal fontanel size. The odds ratio of the normal weight of neonate at birth was…[Read more]

The complete mitochondrial genome of Sirembo imberbis was determined by the bioinformatic assembly of the next generation sequencing (NGS) reads. Total length of the mitogenome was 16,717 bp, which harbors the conserved 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (12S and 16S), 22 tRNAs, and two non-coding region (the control region and the o…[Read more]

Products formulated with zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and iron oxides demonstrated 71.9%-85.6% attenuation across the tested wavelengths of 415-465nm.

Sunscreens formulated with iron oxides provide enhanced protection against blue light, especially when combined with zinc oxide. To our knowledge, similar studies with iron oxides have not…[Read more]
