Revealing lost secrets about Yingpan Man and the Silk Road.

ABSTRACT: Yingpan Man, is one of the most exquisitely preserved mummies found in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. Here links between Yingpan Man and the Silk Road are explored through a detailed isotopic and bioarchaeological investigation of his life history. Analytical techniques of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur stable isotope ratio analysis on hair, teeth, muscle and bones as well as associated animal and plant remains, radiocarbon dating and starch grain analysis of dental calculus are presented to visualize never before seen aspects of Yingpan Man's life, including: environment, breastfeeding and weaning practices, adolescent and adult diet, disease and nutritional status as well as season of death. Furthermore, in combination with a detailed review of his associated grave goods, this research examines the social status and identity of Yingpan Man, and demonstrates the profound impact and cultural fusion that the Silk Road had upon the peoples of Xinjiang and Eurasia.

<i>EGFR</i> T790M: revealing the secrets of a gatekeeper.

Project description:Non-small-cell lung cancers that harbor activating mutations in the EGFR gene represent an important molecularly defined subset of lung cancer. Despite dramatic initial responses with first- and second-generation EGFR-directed tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) against these cancers, the development of a dominant and frequent resistance mechanism through a threonine-methionine amino acid substitution at position 790 (T790M) of EGFR has limited the long-term efficacy of these targeted therapies. This "gatekeeper" EGFR T790M alteration remains the only validated and relevant second-site resistance mutation for EGFR, allowing for focused research to understand and overcome EGFR T790M-mediated resistance. The current review focuses on EGFR T790M by discussing mechanisms of resistance mediated by EGFR T790M, reviewing development of novel third-generation EGFR TKIs targeting EGFR T790M, and highlighting current research on overcoming resistance to third-generation EGFR T790M TKIs.

Lost miRNA surveillance of NOTCH, IGFR pathway-road to sarcomagenesis [Illumina]

Project description:The goal of this study was comparative analysis of differentially expressed miRNA and their targets in human chondrosarcoma JJ012 and chondrocytes C28 cell line(control) to elucidate the major signal transduction pathways deregulation in sarcomagenesis. Total RNA extraction was followed by the analysis of RNA quality and integrity, Exiqon human miRNA panel of 743 unique miRNA assays, Illumina microarray HT12 platform and qRT-PCR verification of targets were performed.189 downregulated and 147 upregulated miRNAs were detected when comparing chondrosarcoma cell line to control C 28 chondrocytes cell line using human Exiqon arrays with biological triplicates.3045 target genes in total were detected woth 587 common and 2458 unique target genes between upand downregulated miRNAs. The upregulated miRNAs were linked to the promotion of aggressive phenotype and the majority of the downregulated miRNAs were oncosuppressors. Among upregulated targtes for upregulated miRNAS were the cluster of cancer testis antigen (CTA) genes, located on X chromosome the major signal transduction pathways leading to sarcomagenesis.

China's Silk Road and global health.

Project description:In 2013, China proposed its Belt and Road Initiative to promote trade, infrastructure, and commercial associations with 65 countries in Asia, Africa, and Europe. This initiative contains important health components. Simultaneously, China launched an unprecedented overseas intervention against Ebola virus in west Africa, dispatching 1200 workers, including Chinese military personnel. The overseas development assistance provided by China has been increasing by 25% annually, reaching US$7 billion in 2013. Development assistance for health from China has particularly been used to develop infrastructure and provide medical supplies to Africa and Asia. China's contributions to multilateral organisations are increasing but are unlikely to bridge substantial gaps, if any, vacated by other donors; China is creating its own multilateral funds and banks and challenging the existing global architecture. These new investment vehicles are more aligned with the geography and type of support of the Belt and Road Initiative. Our analysis concludes that China's Belt and Road Initiative, Ebola response, development assistance for health, and new investment funds are complementary and reinforcing, with China shaping a unique global engagement impacting powerfully on the contours of global health.

The man that lost (part of) his mind.

Project description:An 84-year-old man presented to the emergency department following recurrent falls over several weeks and onset of new left-sided weakness. CT of the brain revealed a large air cavity (pneumatocoele) in the right frontal lobe thought to be secondary to an ethmoidal osteoma communicating through the cribriform plate allowing air to be forced into the skull under pressure. Subsequent MRI confirmed these findings and also revealed a small focal area of acute infarction in the adjacent corpus callosum. The patient had a prolonged hospital stay, declined neurosurgical intervention and was discharged home on secondary stroke prevention.
