AbstractReturn to work after completion of cancer treatments has many benefits for patients, families, and society. Readiness for return to work (RRTW) seems to be an effective factor for return to work in cancer survivors. Therefore, the present study was to investigate return to work and its relation to RRTW among Iranian survivors of cancer. This descriptive-correlational study examined a total of 227 survived cancer patients with completed primary treatments and without active cancer symptoms....
AbstractContinuing professional development (CPD) and lifelong learning are core tenets of most healthcare disciplines. Where undergraduate coursework lays the foundation for entry into practice, CPD courses and offerings are designed to aid clinicians in maintaining these competencies. CPD offerings need to be frequently revised and updated to ensure their continued utility. The purpose of this qualitative study was to better understand the CPD needs of members of the University of Toronto ’s Department...

Different molecular weight polysaccharides of Dendrobium officinale (DOPs) have gradually attracted attention because of their broad biological activities. They, however, remain poorly defined whether their antitumor activity is associated with molecular weight. In this study, the physicochemical, antioxidant, and antitumor properties of DOPs, including the crude polysaccharide (DOP) and its six degradation fractions (DOP1–DOP6) extracted from Dendrobium officinale, were determined. Consequently,...
Moxibustion has been widely accepted as an alternative therapy for major depressive disease (MDD). However, the efficacy of moxibustion treatment on MDD is highly variable because of its irregular operation. This study was designed to investigate how therapeutic duration and extent influence the anti-depression effect of moxibustion and the underlying mechanism involved. Rats with lipopolysaccharide-induced depression-like behavior were treated by moxibustion treatment. The anti-depression effect...

Abstract Background Mumps is a common type of respiratory infectious disease caused by mumps virus (MuV), and can be effectively prevented by vaccination. In this study, a reverse genetic system of MuV that can facilitate the rational design of safer, more efficient mumps vaccine candidates is established. Methods MuV-S79 cDNA clone was assembled into a full-length...

Protein methylation has been implicated in many important biological contexts including signaling, metabolism, and transcriptional control. Despite the importance of this post-translational modification, the global analysis of protein methylation by mass spectrometry-based proteomics has not been extensively studied due to the lack of robust, well-characterized techniques for methyl peptide enrichment. Here, to better investigate protein methylation, we compared two methods for methyl peptide enrichment:...

Abstract In recent years, endoscopic placement of intraluminal stents is increasingly used to manage a widening range of colorectal disorders. Self-expanding metal stents represent an established alternative to surgery for the palliation of unresectable carcinomas and currently allow a “bridge-to-surgery” strategy to relieve large bowel obstruction and optimise the patients’ clinical conditions before elective oncologic resection. Additionally, intraluminal stents represent an...

Abstract One of the ways in which modern radiology is manifesting itself in higher education and research is through the increasing importance of scientific mobility. This article seeks to provide an overview and a prospective of radiology fellows in their last year of training about the current trends and policy tools for promoting mobility among young radiologists, especially inside the European Union. Nowadays, the need to promote international cooperation is even greater...

Brefeldin A resistance factor 1 (Bfr1p) is a non-essential RNA-binding protein and multi-copy suppressor of brefeldin A sensitivity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Deletion of BFR1 leads to multiple defects, including altered cell shape and size, change in ploidy, induction of P-bodies and chromosomal mis-segregation. Bfr1p has been shown to associate with polysomes, binds to several hundred mRNAs, and can target some of them to P-bodies. Although this implies a role of Bfr1p in translational control...
Human mitochondrial ribonuclease P (mtRNase P) is an essential three protein complex that catalyzes the 5’ end maturation of mitochondrial precursor tRNAs (pre-tRNAs). MRPP3 (Mitochondrial RNase P Protein 3), a protein-only RNase P (PRORP), is the nuclease component of the mtRNase P complex and requires a two-protein S-adenosyl methionine (SAM)-dependent methyltransferase MRPP1/2 sub-complex to function. Dysfunction of mtRNase P is linked to several human mitochondrial diseases, such as mitochondrial...

Copy number variants (CNV) are associated with phenotypic variation in several species. However, properly detecting changes in copy numbers of sequences remains a difficult problem, especially in lower quality or lower coverage next-generation sequencing data. Here, inspired by recent applications of machine learning in genomics, we describe a method to detect duplications and deletions in short-read sequencing data. In low coverage data, machine learning appears to be more powerful in the detection...
