The high levels of antibiotic resistance registered worldwide have become a serious health problem, threatening the currently available treatments for a series of infectious diseases. With antibiotics becoming less and less effective, it is becoming increasingly difficult and, in some cases, impossible to treat patients with even common infectious diseases, such as pneumonia. The inability to meet the ever-increasing deman Read More

LncRNA MEG3, a tumor suppressor gene, is related to reducing the proliferation, migration, and invasion as well as apoptosis abilities of gastric cancer (GC), which is a promising therapeutic target in patients. We conducted a comprehensive search of the literature on Pubmed using the keywords “lncRNA MEG3 and gas cancer” from 2014 to the present. Here, we provide a systematic and comprehensive summary of exi Read More

Background: The literature review reveals that NEAT1 is dysregulated in gastric cancer and plays a critical role in various aspects of tumorigenesis, including cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and chemotherapy resistance. NEAT1 exerts its functions through interactions with proteins, DNA, and other RNAs, acting as a scaffold or by modulating chromatin modifications and gene expression. Furthermore, NEAT1 is involved in Read More

Undifferentiated cells, known as stem cells, have the capacity to self-renew and specialise in a variety of distinct mature and functional cell types while still retaining their original identity. For their significance in regenerative medicine, stem cells' deep potential has been widely examined, and this work has established the groundwork for cell-based therapeutics. With the potential to repair and restore specific organs or tissue in Read More

Pain has long been defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience originating from any region of the body in the presence or absence of tissue injury. Physicians involved in acute medicine commonly undertake a variety of invasive and painful procedures that prompt procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA), which is a condition sparing the protective airway reflexes while depressing the patient’s awareness of ext Read More

Background: Despite widespread application of drug-eluting stents in coronary intervention, in-stent restenosis (ISR) is still a daunting complication in clinical practice. Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) are considered to be effective herb compounds for preventing ISR. Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the targets and mechanisms of PNS in ISR prevention using network pharmacology approaches and experimental ve Read More

Background: Chemoresistance is a major cause of relapse or death in ovarian cancer (OC) patients. New evidence suggests the crucial role of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in mediating chemoresistance of cancer cells. We aimed to dissect the way MDSCs affect the cisplatin resistance phenotype of OC and the related mechanisms. Methods: MDSCs were isolated from the spleen of OC mice isograft. CCK-8 an Read More

Background: In the recent decade, there has been increasing interest in preventing ovarian toxicity after chemotherapy exposure. It has been documented that ginger (Zingiber officinale) might normalize the hormonal balance and control the menstrual cycle.. Objective: This study has analyzed whether ginger extract protects against cyclophosphamide (CP)-induced ovarian failure in rats. Methods: Rats were distributed Read More
