The role of the androgen receptor (AR) in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) remains controversial. We retrospectively analyzed the mRNA expression of AR using RT-qPCR in 95 patients with high-risk NMIBC treated with a bladder-sparing approach and correlated AR with clinical data and recurrence-free survival (RFS), cancer-specific survival…[Read more]

The development of green vegetable processing is still limited by the imperfect green protection now. Chlorophyll (Chl), the main pigment presented in green vegetables, was studied that the effects of NaCl on the stability of it, and the synergy of NaCl and high-pressure on Chl protection. Compared to the control, the retention of Chl was…[Read more]

Fast-growing plant, giant reed (Arundo donax L.) has been gaining a lot of popularity in the phytoremediation of metal-polluted soils. However, information regarding the physiological background of tolerance and accumulation capacity of A. donax with respect to antimony (Sb), arsenic (As), and their co-contamination are very limited. Rooted stem…[Read more]

Multinational companies are now obliged to deliver an annual report to the tax authorities with information disaggregated by country (country-by-country reporting) in order to show where the assets and workers are allocated, how profits are distributed and to whom taxes are paid. Unfortunately, these reports are not made public in the European…[Read more]

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a type of progressive neurodegenerative disease, and amyloid β-protein 42 (Aβ42) serves an important role in the pathological process of development of AD. Paired immunoglobulin-like receptor B (PirB) is a functional receptor for myelin inhibitors of neuron regeneration in the CNS, and it has also been identified to f…[Read more]
