Decreased Analgesic Requirements in Super Morbidly Versus Morbidly Obese Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy حسب Hamed Elgendy (14148846)

Renin–angiotensin-system gene polymorphisms and depression حسب Saab, Yolande B.

"…None of the other common RAS-associated polymorphisms were significantly associated. The results support the hypothesis that increased RAS activity may increase relative risk of depression in that the angiotensin receptor type 1 (A1166C) CC genotype is associated with increased responsiveness to angiotensin II.…"

A slow but steady nanoLuc: R162A mutation results in a decreased, but stable, nanoLuc activity حسب Wesam S. Ahmed (10170053)

"…However, questions related to its mechanism of interaction with the substrate, furimazine, as well as bioluminescence activity remain elusive. Here, we combined molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and mutational analysis to show that the R162A mutation results in a decreased but stable <u>bioluminescence </u>activity of NLuc in living cells and in vitro. …"

Performance and microbial community variations of anaerobic digesters under increasing tetracycline concentrations حسب Xiong, Yanghui

"…An increase in the abundance of tetracycline resistance genes associated with ribosomal protection proteins was observed after 30 days of exposure to high concentrations of tetracycline, while other targeted resistance genes showed no significant changes. …"

Notch Signaling Inhibition by LY411575 Attenuates Osteoblast Differentiation and Decreased Ectopic Bone Formation Capacity of Human Skeletal (Mesenchymal) Stem Cells حسب Nihal AlMuraikhi (6002234)

"…Among the tested molecules, LY411575, a potent γ-secretase and Notch signaling inhibitor, exhibited significant inhibitory effects on osteoblastic differentiation of hBMSCs manifested by reduced ALP activity, mineralized matrix formation, and decreased osteoblast-specific gene expression as well as in vivo ectopic bone formation. …"

Performance evaluation of 3D-printed PLA composites doped with WE43 magnesium alloy for bone tissue engineering applications حسب Sumama Nuthana Kalva (17302906)

"…While a low Mg content (5 %) only slightly impacted the print quality and dimensions, higher Mg concentrations (10 % and 15 %) led to increased weight, rougher surfaces, dimensional shrinkage in height, and overall poorer formation quality. Adding WE43 alloy to PLA decreased the average pore sizes of the composites. …"

Genetic Variation in CCL5 Signaling Genes and Triple Negative Breast Cancer: Susceptibility and Prognosis Implications حسب Jingxuan Shan (4711089)

"…We found a highly significant association between the <b><i>CCND1</i></b><b> </b><b>rs614367-TT</b> genotype (OR = 5.14; <i>P</i> = 0.004) and TNBC risk, and identified a significant association between the <b>rs614367-T</b> allele and decreased PFS in TNBC. …"

Strong association of common variants in the IGF2BP2 gene with type 2 diabetes in Lebanese Arabs حسب Nemr, Rita

"…Taking the common rs4402960/rs1470579 GA haplotype as reference, multivariate analysis confirmed the positive association of TC (P = 0.009; OR, 1.43; 95%CI, 1.09–1.87), and TA (P < 0.001; OR = 5.49; 95%CI = 2.09–14.39) haplotypes with increased T2DM risk. These differences remained significant after applying the Bonferroni correction for multiple testing. …"
