Tumor-Stroma Ratio is a Critical Indicator of Peritoneal Metastasis in Gastric Cancer by Zhong L, Huang H, Hou D, Zhou S, Lin Y, Yu Y, Yu J, Han F, Xie L

“…A significant correlation between TSR and PM was observed. The TSR-based model, combined with CA125, CA724 and Borrmann type, exhibited strong diagnostic effectiveness and considerable predictive efficacy, with an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.85 in the training cohort, 0.73 in the external validation cohort, and 0.72 in the metachronous PM cohort.Conclusion: The TSR emerges as a crucial marker for PM in GC, with the developed model, based on TSR and preoperative examination data, demonstrating substantial diagnostic and predictive capabilities.Keywords: tumor-stroma ratio, peritoneal metastasis, gastric cancer, preoperative examinations, nomogram…”

Distinct dynamic regulation of pectoralis muscle metabolomics by insulin and the promotion of glucose-lipid metabolism with extended duration by Xiangli Zhang, Pengfei Du, Ziyang Wang, Yao Zhu, Xuemeng Si, Wen Chen, Yanqun Huang

“…The insulin tolerance test, performed by injecting 5 IU/kg body weight of insulin, demonstrated a rapid drop in blood glucose levels from 0 to 15 min, with a consistent reduction observed at 120 min (P < 0.01). Insulin did not alter glucose and glycogen content in chicken pectoralis; however, low-density lipoprotein (LDL, P < 0.05) levels were upregulated in the early phase (15 min). …”

<i>Botrytis cinerea</i> PMT4 Is Involved in <i>O</i>-Glycosylation, Cell Wall Organization, Membrane Integrity, and Virulence by Verónica Plaza, Alice Pasten, Luz A. López-Ramírez, Héctor M. Mora-Montes, Julia Rubio-Astudillo, Evelyn Silva-Moreno, Luis Castillo

“…Expression of <i>bcpmt4</i> in <i>S. cerevisiae</i> Δ<i>Scpmt4</i> or Δ<i>Scpmt3</i> null mutants restored glycan levels like those observed in the parental strain. The phenotypic analysis showed that Δ<i>bcpmt4</i> null mutants exhibited significant changes in hyphal cell wall composition, including reduced mannan levels and increased amounts of chitin and glucan. …”

Socioeconomic inequality in hypertension and its determinants in people over 60 years in Fasa, southern Iran: a Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition by Reza Tabrizi, Reza Pakzad, Maryam Akbari, Azizallah Dehghan, Mozhan Abdollahi, Sina Bazmi, Sina Kardeh, Yaser Sarikhani

“…Conclusions The decomposition model illustrated a significant disparity in HTN rates among various socioeconomic groups, with a higher rate observed in the lower-income demographic. The analysis revealed that a substantial part of the explained gap can be attributed to factors including education level, employment status, WHR, BMI, and level of physical activity. …”

Antagonistic Effects of Sublethal Concentrations of Certain Mixtures of Metal Oxide Nanoparticles and the Bulk (Al2O3, CuO, and SiO2) on Gill Histology in Clarias gariepinus by Amaeze Henry Nnamdi, Tam-Miette Dawarri Briggs, Oluwaseun Olusola Togunde, Henry Ebele Obanya

“…In single exposure, the gill alterations include high frequencies of erosion of gill lamella (EGL), hypertrophy (HPT), oedema (OD), and necrosis (N). Less damage was observed at the combination of the metal oxide nanoparticles of SiO + Al2O3, SiO + CuO and SiO + Al2O3 + CuO in equal (1 : 1—HAI, 2 and 6; 1 : 1 : 1—HAI, 6) and unequal ratios (1 : 2—HAI, 16 and 6; 2 : 1—HAI, 8 and 6). …”

Variability of the photoperiod response in guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.) genotypes of different geographic origin by S. B. Teplyakova, V. A. Volkov, E. А. Dzyubenko, E. К. Potokina

“…It has been  established that  for the same guar plant the critical photoperiod initiating the formation  of buds may not coincide with the critical photoperiod required for their flushing (i. e. flowering per se). The observed fact confirms the hypothesis reported earlier about a two-stage launch of the flowering program in guar, according to which budding and flowering itself are controlled by independent gene  systems. …”
