TGF-betas are pleiotropic growth factors with important roles in normal homeostasis and complex roles in tumorigenesis. In general TGF-betas function as tumor suppressors early in the tumorigenic process and as pro-metastatic factors later. metastasis-promoting activities include the enhancement of invasion and migration, the promotion of angiogenesis, and the suppression of immune surveillance. Overexpression of TGF-beta in many advanced human tumors correlates with metastasis and poor prognosis, and there is considerable interest in developing TGF-beta antagonists for cancer therapy. However, the complexity of TGF-beta action, involving the context-dependent interplay of many cellular targets, means that preclinical animal models are critical for evaluating such agents.

Surgah Formation at male-kuh well section with 82 meters thickness has been studied at Pol-e-Dokhtar area. Surgah Formation at mentioned section was composed of limestone and shaly limestone. The lower and upper contacts of studied formation with Sarvak and Ilam formations are conformed. Based planktonic foraminifera study 37 species belonging to 10 genera in frame of two planktonic foraminiferal biozones were identified respectively as below: 1) Dicarinella concavata Interval Zone;2) Dicarinella asymetrica Total Range Zone. Finally, based on recent investigation have been detected middle Turonian-Late Santonian age for studied section. According to (Robaszynski and caron 1979), the first occurrence of Dicarinella primitiva has been shown base of the Coniacian stage. The first occurrence of Di. primitiva was placed under the Turonian-Coniacian boundary. Robaszynski and caron 1995 recorded the first occurrence of Dicarinella primitiva and Dicarinella concavata were simultaneous and assigned to late Turonian which correlated with ammonite’s species Subprionocyclus neptuni. In the correlation between ammonite and Dicarinella primitiva at Tethyan realm first occurrence of Di. primitiva was close to the middle-Late Turonian sub stage. The base of Coniacian stage was identified based on the FODs of Archaeoglobigerina cretacea and Dicarinella concavata from planktonic foraminifera with FOD of Cremnoceramus walterdorfensis walterdorfensis from inoceramid group, while the base of Santonian stage recorded using LOD of Dicarinella primitiva, Whiteinellids group with FODs of Dicarinella asymetrica and Inoceramus aff. vistulensis (inoceramid species).

BACKGROUND Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty(ESG) is an effective therapy for class Ⅰ-Ⅱ obesity, but there are knowledge gaps in the published literature about its implementation in patients with class Ⅲ obesity [body mass index(BmI) ≥ 40 kg/m2].AIm To evaluate the safety, clinical efficacy, and durability of ESG in adults with class Ⅲ *** This was a retrospective cohort study that used prospectively collected data on adults with BmI ≥ 40 kg/m2who underwent ESG and longitudinal lifestyle counseling at two centers with expertise in endobariatric therapies from may 2018-march 2022. The primary outcome was total body weight loss(TBWL) at 12 mo. Secondary outcomes included changes in TBWL, excess weight loss(EWL) and BmI at various time points up to 36 mo, clinical responder rates at 12 and 24 mo, and comorbidity improvement. Safety outcomes were reported through the study duration. One-way ANOVA test was performed with multiple Tukey pairwise comparisons for TBWL, EWL, and BmI over the study *** 404 consecutive patients(78.5% female, mean age 42.9 years, mean BmI 44.8 ± 4.7 kg/m2) were enrolled. ESGs were performed using an average of 7 sutures, over 42 ± 9 min, and with 100% technical success. TBWL was 20.9 ± 6.2% at 12 mo, 20.5 ± 6.9% at 24 mo, and 20.3 ± 9.5% at 36 mo. EWL was 49.6 ± 15.1% at 12 mo, 49.4 ± 16.7% at 24 mo, and 47.1 ± 23.5% at 36 mo. There was no difference in TBWL at 12, 15, 24, and 36 mo from ESG. TBWL exceeding 10%, 15%, and 20% was achieved by 96.7%, 87.4%, and 55.6% of the cohort at 12 mo, respectively. Of the cohort with the relevant comorbidity at time of ESG, 66.1% had improvement in hypertension, 61.7% had improvement in type Ⅱ diabetes, and 45.1% had improvement in hyperlipidemia over study duration. There was one instance of dehydration requiring hospitalization(0.2% serious adverse event rate).CONCLUSION When combined with longitudinal nutritional support, ESG induces effective and durable weight loss in adults with c

A young Steve Jobs once called computers‘bicycles for the mind’-he was referring to the dramatic decrease in the energetic cost of transportation that could be obtained with the bicycle,which breaks all scaling laws for how efficiently an animal can *** creativity of new approaches to old materials science problems facilitated by the dramatic uptake of machine learning(mL)is a testament to this notion.

Excessive fluid administration after cardiothoracic surgery has been proposed as a cause of postoperative atrial fibrillation. In this study, we observed that fluid balance and volume administered on postoperative day 2 was greater in pat ients who developed postoperative AF than in those who did not. We also found th at net fluid balance on postoperative day 2 was an independent predictor of post operative AF among patients not receiving prophylactic therapy.
