Associations were similar for nonaggressive and aggressive PCa. The trend test for fatal PCa was statistically significant in NIH-AARP (p

<0.01), despite none of the individual categorical point estimates reaching this threshold.

This study provides tentative evidence that fathering children is associated with a slightly increased PCa…[Read more]

ects on the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic. Our study also showed that the timely implementation of NPIs showed a profound effect on further reductions in the numbers of infections and deaths. This highlights the importance of forecasting and early detection of future waves of infection and of the need for effective preparedness and response…[Read more]

OBJECTIVES A total of 30% to 40% of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patients develop major wound complications (MWCs) after preoperative radiation (preRT). The optimal preRT-surgery interval and its association with MWCs is unknown. This study investigated whether a longer preRT-surgery interval is associated with fewer MWCs compared with historical…[Read more]

Recently, we found that ZFP36L2 reduces the expression of Ikzf2 (encoding HELIOS) and suppresses regulatory T cell function. This review summarizes the current understanding of the post-transcriptional regulation of immunological responses and inflammatory diseases by RNA-binding ZFP36 family proteins.Although advances in antiretroviral therapy…[Read more]

Then the distributions and gene expression models between P. alba × P. glandulosa and L. kaempferi in those pathways were compared, which suggested differential wood formation processes between the angiosperm and gymnosperm trees. Furthermore, a Weight Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) for total xylem-specifically expressed genes in two…[Read more]

paramamosain in Malaysia was very low (n = 29). No single individual of S. serrata from Malaysia was recorded in this study. Both genetic distance and phylogenetic approaches exhibited a correlative monophyletic association among all specimens analysed. This present study is crucial as it reports the reassessment of all species within genus Scylla…[Read more]

Otologic surgery in guinea pig requires head immobilization for microscopic manipulation. Existing commercially available stereotaxic frames are expensive and impede access to the ear as they rely on ear bars or mouthpieces to secure the head.

Prototype head holders were designed using the Solidworks 2019 software…[Read more]

Vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency is prevalent worldwide. We investigated the effect of vitamin D intake and ultraviolet ray (UV) exposure on serum vitamin D concentration in Japan. A total of 107 healthy adult participants were recruited from Hokkaido (43°N) and Kumamoto (33°N) prefectures. All participants undertook surveys in both summer and w…[Read more]

These results suggest that cortical temporal hierarchy in middle childhood is immature and may be important for an accurate representation of complex naturalistic social stimuli during this age. The cerebellum is known to contain a double somatotopic body representation. While the anterior lobe body map has shown a robust somatotopic organization…[Read more]
