Molecular changes underlying the development of GC are not thoroughly understood. Therefore, we constructed and analyzed a novel four-component competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network to introduce plausible diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in GC. Materials and Methods: Transcriptomics and circular RNA (circRNA) data were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases, respectively. After batch effect correction, differential expression analysis, and interaction prediction, a ceRNA network including long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) was established. Enrichment analyses were performed, and a protein–protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed. Furthermore, a subnetwork was extracted, and using the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) method, the expression changes of two hub ceRNAs were examined. Finally, survival analysis was performed to identify potential prognostic RNAs. Results: A four-component ceRNA network containing 822 nodes and 1365 edges was constructed. Enrichment analyses unveiled important signaling pathways and gene ontologies such as neuroactive ligand–receptor interaction and axonogenesis. The PPI network showed the interactions among mRNAs of the ceRNA network. qRT-PCR indicated downregulation of EPHA5 and SNAP91 mRNAs in GC compared to control tissues. Survival analyses revealed eight mRNAs and one lncRNA as potential prognostic biomarkers in GC. Conclusion: The established four-component network of ceRNAs in GC reveals a comprehensive view of the molecular and cellular characteristics of GC progression, which can be considered as a basis to examine and validate potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers as well as therapeutic targets.","PeriodicalId":7225,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Biomedical Research","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135317891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These viruses pose a risk to children who live beside infected animal, as they can cause diarrhea. This study was dedicated to molecular and antigen detections and phylogenetic and immunoinformatics analysis of zoonotic coronavirus (CoV) in Iran.Materials and Methods: A total of 77 diarrheic samples were collected from Holstein dairy herds in selected provinces of Iran. Samples were tested by capture antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect CoV and reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction (RT–PCR) for verification of detection and also genotyping of spike glycoprotein in CoV-positive samples. After statistical analysis, nucleotide sequence alignment, and nucleotide and protein phylogenetic tree construction, the centralized sequence for vaccine strains was obtained using computationally optimized broadly reactive antigen (COBRA)'s center-of-the-tree (COT) method.Results: Twenty-two (28.5%) and eight (10.3%) of 77 samples were positive according to RT–PCR and ELISA, respectively. (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) BLAST and phylogenetic analysis revealed that most similar sequences to the Iranian CoV sequence were for European countries. Furthermore, there were strong correlations to other CoVs in humans and wild and domesticated animals. As CoV has variable COT, the most recent strains and COBRA vaccine strains were obtained.Conclusion: Based on the high prevalence of this viral disease in calves and its economic impact on the breeding industry, as well as the potential transmission to humans and correlation with World Health Organization (WHO) One Health approach guidelines, the study emphasizes the importance of implementing preventive strategies such as animal vaccination.","PeriodicalId":7225,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Biomedical Research","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135799394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, orthopedic surgeons conducting total hip arthroplasty (THA) for hip fractures have various prosthetic alternatives. Dual-mobility cup THA is recommended for hip fracture patients to reduce prosthesis dislocation. Therefore, the goal of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of conventional prostheses against dual-mobility prostheses in treating femoral neck fractures in two groups of patients.Materials and Methods: The current clinical investigation involved patients with femoral neck fractures. Among approved 84 patients, 44 and 40 were undergoing conventional THA (group A) and dual-mobility THA (group B), respectively. Patients were observed regularly after surgeries, and the same measurements were performed. The data were assembled and entered into SPSS software (version 25, IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY, USA) and analyzed. In all analyses, a P value of less than 0.05 was considered significant.Results: Eighty-four cases with an average age of 63.97 years were evaluated. In postoperative follow-up, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of Harris hip score, SF-36, and infection (P > 0.05). However, patients who received conventional implants had more dislocation postoperatively (P = 0.045). Regarding the rehabilitation costs, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups, so the group using the conventional implants incurred a higher cost (P = 0.041).Conclusion: According to the results, both dual mobility and conventional implants had optimal functional outcomes in patients with femoral neck fractures.","PeriodicalId":7225,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Biomedical Research","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135799838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
