Preserving cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer's disease: The Alzheim...

The global trend toward aging populations has resulted in an increase in the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and associated socio-economic burdens. Abnormal metabolism of amyloidâ β (Aβ) has been proposed as a signiï¬ cant pathomechanism in AD, supported by results of recent clinical trials using antiâ Aβ antibodies. Nonetheless, the cognitive beneï¬ ts of the current treatments are limited. The etiol...

An overview of the Amazonian Aerosol Characterization Experiment 2008 (AMAZE-08)

The Amazon Basin provides an excellent environment for studying the sources, transformations, and properties of natural aerosol particles and the resulting links between biological processes and climate. With this framework in mind, the Amazonian Aerosol Characterization Experiment (AMAZE-08), carried out from 7 February to 14 March 2008 during the wet season in the central Amazon Basin, sought to understand th...

Recurrent noncoding U1 snRNA mutations drive cryptic splicing in SHH medullobla...

In cancer, recurrent somatic single-nucleotide variants-which are rare in most paediatric cancers-are confined largely to protein-coding genes1-3. Here we report highly recurrent hotspot mutations (r.3A>G) of U1 spliceosomal small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) in about 50% of Sonic hedgehog (SHH) medulloblastomas. These mutations were not present across other subgroups of medulloblastoma, and we identified these hotspo...

The Effect of FRAX on the Prediction of Osteoporotic Fractures in Urban Middle-...

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to analyze the applicability of a fracture risk assessment tool for the prediction of osteoporotic fractures in middle-aged and elderly healthy Chinese adults. METHODS: A standard questionnaire was administered, and bone mineral density was measured in residents visiting the Dongliu Street Community Health Service Center. Paired t-tests were used to compare the FRAX-based probabilities of fr...

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis-related liver cirrhosis is increasing in China: A...

OBJECTIVE: Little is known about metabolic factors in cirrhotic patients in China. Therefore, we aimed to quantify the prevalence of both metabolic factors and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis-related liver cirrhosis in China. METHODS: The medical records of 1,582 patients diagnosed with liver cirrhosis from June 2003 to July 2013 at Daping Hospital (Chongqing, China) were retrospectively reviewed through a comput...

Prognostic value of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in lung cancer: A meta-a...

Recently, a series of studies explored the correlation between the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and the prognosis of lung cancer. However, the current opinion regarding the prognostic role of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in lung cancer is inconsistent. We performed a meta-analysis of published articles to investigate the prognostic value of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in lung cancer. The hazard r...
