To explore the relationship between autophagy and cell function, we investigated how PLAC8-mediated autophagy influences proliferation, apoptosis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in NPC. Colony formation analyses and CCK8 assays were used to assess the proliferative capacity of NPC cells. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used…[Read more]

The exposure levels were significantly lower than those measured before the introduction of control measures. The exposure level reduction was observed not only in the dough making area but also in all bakeries locals.The aim was to compare the usefulness of selected thyroid sonographic risk-stratification systems in the diagnostics of nodules…[Read more]

This paper presents a strength analysis of joints made during high-strength steel S960 welding. Joints obtained by conventional and laser welding were tested. The most attention was focused on assessing the strength of the material at Heat Affect Zone (HAZ). To this aim, the effect of Linear Welding Energy (LWE) on changes in microstructure and…[Read more]

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a systemic, chronic metabolic disease that is related to heredity and autoimmunity and is often accompanied by complications of retinopathy. However, the causative mechanism involved in the pathological process remains unclear. In this research, treatment with fosinopril or LY2109761 was found to be responsible for the…[Read more]

Aims Consensus regarding the best screening and follow-up strategy for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is lacking, resulting in heterogeneity in clinical practice. We aimed to evaluate screening and follow-up practices for pregestational type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and GDM in primary care in Belgium. Methods We performed an online survey among…[Read more]
