), and determining any association between such factors and related increases in adenocarcinoma risk. A total of 1422 patients were included in the study. The difference in participation according to sex was greater in rural population (63,4% men/36,6% women in rural areas, 58% men/42% women in urban areas). The mean delayed diagnosis was 59,26 days in both groups. Adenocarcinoma risk was 1.216 times higher in rural population. High-grade dysplasic lesions and adenocarcinoma were more common in municipalities with income  10%. Living in rural areas is not a barrier to access to health care, with no disadvantages identified regarding diagnosis and treatment, thanks to public health policies and the large number of small municipalities near the referral hospital in Cuenca.
Ovarian carcinoma is the fifth commonest malignancy in females and exhibits a high recurrence rate. High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the main histologic subtype. It displays extensive genetic heterogeneity. Here, we aimed to identify potential therapeutic targets for HGSOC.

Both bioinformatic data from TCGA and 73 pairs of tumor and normal samples from patients were analyzed to reveal the expression level of ACSM3 in HGSOC. Next, cellular and animal experiments, including cell proliferation, colony formation andxenograftassays were performed to explore the suppressive function of ACSM3. Finally, biochemical methods, AMP/ATP ratiomeasurements and Western blotting were used to elucidate the mechanismunderlying the ACSM3-AMPK axis in HGSOC.

After analyzing transcriptome data of TCGA HGSOC samples, we found that ACSM3 is down-regulated in patient samples compared with normal controls. This observation was validated using data from primary clinical samples. Proliferation, soft agar colony formation and xenograft assays revealed that ACSM3 is able to suppress HGSOC tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, we found that ACSM3 overexpression increased the AMP/ATP ratio and the phosphorylation level of AMPK at threonine 172. In addition, we found that AMPK silencing in EFO21 and SKOV3 cells completely abolished the anti-oncogenic effect of ACSM3.

Our data indicate that the ACSM3-AMPK axis is involved in the pathogenesis of HGSOC and, as such, may act as a therapeutic target for this cancer.

However, growing application of genome-wide sequencing (GS) in population diagnostics has enabled the identification of multifactorial genetic predispositions to sub-lethal pathologies, including those affecting IVF outcomes and reproductive fitness. Indeed, GS analysis in families with history of isolated infertility has recently led to the discovery of new genes and variants involved in specific human infertility endophenotypes that impact the availability and the functionality of female gametes by altering unique mechanisms necessary for oocyte maturation and early embryo development. Ongoing advancements in analytical and bioinformatic pipelines for the study of the genetic determinants of oocyte competence may provide the biological evidence required not only for improving the diagnosis of isolated female infertility but also for the development of novel preventive and therapeutic approaches for reproductive failure. Here, we provide an updated discussion and review of the progresses made in preconception genomic medicine in the identification of genetic factors associated with oocyte availability, function, and competence.
Dysregulation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) plays important roles in atrial fibrillation (AF). This study aimed to identify crucial lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs in AF based on whole transcriptome sequencing.

Thirty Sprague Dawley rats were randomly stratified into control and chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) groups (n = 15 in each). Hematoxylin-eosin staining, Masson staining, immunohistochemical assay, and western blotting were used to evaluate this model. Thereafter, atrial tissues were sent for whole transcriptome sequencing. Finally, fibrosis-related competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory networks were built, and the relative levels of lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs were validated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) or western blotting.

A CIH-induced atrial fibrosis rat model was successfully constructed. After sequencing, 268 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs), 20 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs), and 436 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Functional analyses showed that these DEGs were associated with several processes and pathways, including "cell division," "IL-17 signaling pathway," "NOD-like receptor signaling pathway," and "cell adhesion molecules." Fibrosis-related ceRNA networks were then built, comprising five lncRNAs, seven miRNAs, and 19 DEGs. RT-qPCR and western blotting results showed that the patterns of lncRNAs (NONRATT016396.2, NONRATT001596.2, NONRATT011456.2), miRNAs (miR-10b-3p, miR-29b-3p), and mRNAs (Gng7 and Wnt2b) were consistent with sequencing analyses.

The DELs, DEMs, and DEGs identified in this study may participate in atrial fibrosis processes, and the occurrence and progression of AF.

GPR120 is a GPCR present within the spleen, lungs, adipose tissue and intestines that is stimulated by endogenous free fatty acids (FFAs). Whether GPR120 is expressed or functionally relevant in the central nervous system (CNS), however, has yet to be directly examined. Herein, a rat spinal cord injury (SCI) model was established and used to explore the expression of GPR120 in SCI. Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining revealed that GPR120 was detectable in the spinal tissues of healthy rats, and the levels rose following SCI and reached the peak on day 3, whereafter they declined to basal levels within two weeks post-SCI. Dual immunofluorescent staining revealed detectable GPR120 expression in astrocytes, microglia and a limited number of neurons. Following SCI, GPR120 upregulation was primarily evident in astrocytes. After injury, colocalization between GPR120 and the proliferative marker PCNA was also detected. Together, these results offer new insights regarding the dynamics of spinal cord GPR120 expression and suggest that it may play important roles in the CNS following SCI.Fetal androgen exposure may be associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We studied 1777 mother-child pairs in the prospective Odense Child Cohort. Prenatal androgen exposure was assessed by maternal 3rd trimester testosterone concentrations, maternal polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and 3 months offspring anogenital distance. ASD traits were assessed at age 3 years with the ASD-symptom scale of the Child Behavior Checklist for ages 1½-5 years. Maternal testosterone was positively associated with traits of ASD in boys (p  less then  0.05). Maternal PCOS was associated with increased offspring ASD traits (p = 0.046), but became non-significant after excluding parental psychiatric diagnosis. Offspring anogenital distance was not linked to ASD traits. Higher prevalence of ASD in boys could be linked to higher susceptibility to fetal androgen exposure.
This narrative review examines stem cell therapy and its effect on opioid therapy in neuropathic pain.

Stem cell therapy has shown promise in neuropathic pain and opioid tolerance, with a notable common pathway (the P2X4 receptor). Opioid therapy frequently has poor efficacy in patients who suffer from neuropathic pain.There is evidence that the presence of neuropathic pain itself causes changes to the opioid receptor, decreasing the therapeutic potential of this modality.The efficacy of opioid therapy is further decreased in this patient population after chronic opioid exposure, which leads to opioid tolerance and in some cases opioid-induced hyperalgesia.There is growing evidence that stem cell therapy has potential to treat neuropathic pain and may simultaneously decrease opioid tolerance and hyperalgesia. Opioid-induced hyperalgesia occurs via mu-opioid receptor-dependent expression of P2X4 receptors on microglia. Intrathecal stem cell therapy provides analgesic properties due to the significant reducction of P2X4R expression in spinal cord microglia, thereby directly decreasing chronic neuropathic pain.Agricultural pesticides transported to surface waters pose a major risk for aquatic ecosystems. Modelling studies indicate that the inlets of agricultural storm drainage systems can considerably increase the connectivity of surface runoff and pesticides to surface waters. These model results have however not yet been validated with field measurements. In this study, we measured discharge and concentrations of 51 pesticides in four out of 158 storm drainage inlets of a small Swiss agricultural catchment (2.8 km2) and in the receiving stream. For this, we performed an event-triggered sampling during 19 rain events and collected plot-specific pesticide application data. Our results show that agricultural storm drainage inlets strongly influence surface runoff and pesticide transport in the study catchment. The concentrations of single pesticides in inlets amounted up to 62 µg/L. During some rain events, transport through single inlets caused more than 10% of the stream load of certain pesticides. An extrapolation to the entire catchment suggests that during selected events on average 30 to 70% of the load in the stream was transported through inlets. Pesticide applications on fields with surface runoff or spray drift potential to inlets led to increased concentrations in the corresponding inlets. Overall, this study corroborates the relevance of such inlets for pesticide transport by establishing a connectivity between fields and surface waters, and by their potential to deliver substantial pesticide loads to surface waters.This study investigates the heterogeneous impact of air transport intensity, air passenger transport, and air freight transport on air transport carbon emissions in G20 countries for the period of 1990-2016. The paper employs a robust and advanced fixed-effect panel quantile regression model that considers unobserved discrete and distributional heterogeneity. Our empirical results show that the impact of the independent variables on air transport carbon emissions is quite heterogeneous across various quantiles. More specifically, the effect of air transport intensity, air passenger transport, and air freight transport on carbon emissions is positive and becomes more assertive with the increasing trend at upper quantiles and is quite heterogeneous across all quantiles. Economic growth, urbanization, and tourism are significant contributing factors in enhancing air transport CO2 emissions, while crude oil price significantly reduces CO2 emissions. Metabolism inhibitor The Dumitrescu and Hurlin causality test estimates indicate that a bidirectional relationship extends from air transport intensity, air passenger transport, and air freight transport to air transport CO2 emissions.
