In December 2019, a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) caused an outbreak in Wuhan, China, and soon spread to other parts of the world. It was believed that 2019-nCoV was transmitted through respiratory tract and then induced pneumonia, thus molecular diagnosis based on oral swabs was used for confirmation of this disease. Likewise, patient will be released upon two times of negative detection from oral swabs. However, many coronaviruses can also be transmitted through oral–fecal route by...

Previous research revealed that lncRNA ZFAS1 could promote nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) by inhibiting its downstream target axis. However, the association between ZFAS1 and radioresistant NPC cells is unclear. This study aimed to explore the roles of ZFAS1 in the radioresistance of NPC. Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to identify the significant factors (ENO2 and miR-7-5p) that contributed to the radioresistance of NPC cells. After performing qRT-PCR analysis, we found that the expression of ZFAS1 and ENO2...

Model results of four typical fault slip behaviors are presented in the form of time (T), displacement(U), slip rate(v), friction(f), and time increment(dt) at each step in numerical simulation. The collective results of numerical simulation are present in Data.xlsx

High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most common and malignant type of ovarian cancer, accounting for 70%–80% of mortality. However, the treatment of HGSOC has improved little in the past few decades. Metformin is the first-line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and has now gained more attention in cancer treatment. In this study, we sought to identify potential hub genes that metformin could target in the treatment of HGSOC. We downloaded...

Domestication and subsequent selection of cattle to form breeds and biological types that can adapt to different environments partitioned ancestral genetic diversity into distinct modern lineages. Genome-wide selection particularly for adaptation to extreme environments left detectable signatures genome-wide. We used high-density genotype data for 42 cattle breeds and identified the influence of Bos grunniens and Bos javanicus on the formation of Chinese indicine breeds that led to their divergence from India-origin Zebu. We also found...

Combining individual p-values to perform an overall test is often encountered in statistical applications. The Cauchy combination test (CCT) (Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2020, 115, 393–402) is a powerful and computationally efficient approach to integrate individual p-values under arbitrary dependence structures for sparse signals. We revisit this test to additionally show that (i) the tail probability of the CCT can be approximated just as well when more relaxed assumptions are imposed on individual...

Streptococcus suis can cause severe infections in pigs and humans. The tonsils of pigs are major niches for S. suis, and different serotypes of S. suis can be found in the same tonsil. Pig tonsil colonization by S. suis is believed to be an important source of infection for humans and pigs. However, how S. suis competes for a stable tonsil niche is unknown. Here, we found that S. suis strain WUSS351, isolated from a...

Background: Homologous repair deficiency (HRD) causes double-strand break repair to be impeded, which is a common driver of carcinogenesis. However, the therapeutic and prognostic potential of HRD in invasive breast cancer (BRCA) has not been fully explored using comprehensive bioinformatics analysis. Materials and Methods: HRD score was defined as the unweighted sum of LOH, TAI, and LST scores and obtained from the previous study according to Theo A et al. To characterize BRCA tumor microenvironment...

Abstract Objective: To compare the efficacy of endoscopic and open resection of sinonasal malignancies. Methods: The search was performed using PubMed (1950–2020), Embase (1974–2020), the Cochrane library, and the website clinicaltrials.gov. The hazard ratio, HR, 95% confidence interval, CI, of the rates of overall survival and disease-free survival and the demographic characteristics of the included studies were extracted and analyzed. Pooled analysis was conducted with the studies’ individual patient data, using log-rank test, Kaplan-Meier survival,...

The emergence of HIV drug resistance seriously affects the quality of life of patients. However, there has been no extensive study of CSF resistance. The aim of this study is to evaluate common HIV-1 resistance in CSF and compare it with resistance in matched plasma, and analyse the influencing factors of cerebrospinal fluid drug resistance. The matched CSF and plasma samples of 62 HIV-1 patients were tested at one study site in China (Chongqing; 2019–2022)....
