Our findings also indicated that KIF4A functions as an accelerator of RCC metastasis as certified through transwell chamber analysis, wound healing assay, and angiogenesis assay. The expression levels of cyclin D1, cyclin E2, matrix metalloproteinase-2, matrix metalloproteinase-9, hypoxia-inducible factor 1α, and vascular endothelial growth factor in the KIF4A knockdown group were lower than those in the control group and were consistent with those in classic oncogenic pathways. These findings implied that the expression of KIF4A was significantly related to the tumor incidence, metastasis, and prognosis of patients with RCC. Our work provides new breakthroughs for the diagnosis and treatment of RCC.Over the years, the public has paid growing attention to hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). Currently, infection prevention and control are considered a number one national priority in leading developed countries. However, while some hospital visitors are knowledgeable of the topic, others may be ignorant or careless as regards sterility and hygiene-related matters. This study, conducted in Israel, compared people cognizant of hygiene-related issues to those who are less so, in an attempt to account for differences in terms of attitudes and perceptions regarding the hospital environment. Based on Endsley's (in Proceedings of the IEEE 1988 national aerospace and electronics conference, IEEE, 1988, 1995) situation awareness concept, we hypothesized that people attending the hospital with different hygiene schema would react differently when faced with HAI-related triggers. Based on a survey of 208 respondents, the results support the hypotheses, and showed a significant moderating effect of hygiene-sensitivity on the relationship between the staffs' hospital acquired infection-related proactive behavior and avoidance tendencies among hospital visitors. Theoretical as well as practical recommendations are discussed.The objective of this research was to assess that knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding sexual heath among rural college students in Nebraska. We administered an electronic survey (n = 125) that was adapted from the YRBSS and National College Health Assessment to compare results to national estimates. Results show condom use was below the national average (38.4% vs. 54.1%) during last time of having sexual intercourse. Only half (51%) of rural college students had received the HPV vaccine, and significantly less among males (18%) compared to females (60%). 37% of participants strongly agreed/agreed they felt their parents would find out if they had an STI screening, and even more felt their social group would find out (42%). Nearly all (92%) of the participants strongly agreed/agreed that they would tell their partner if they noticed that they had symptoms of an STI; although, over half (60%) of the participants strongly agreed/agreed that they thought they could tell if there was a change in their body indicating after contracting a STI, 33% did not know that STIs can have no symptoms, and over half (52%) almost never/never get STI screening when they had new partners. There was a significant positive association between with highest level of sexual health education and composite knowledge scores. The results show that sexual health among rural college students is an important, but understudied, health disparity. Online and college-oriented interventions could be used to help bridge the gap of sexual health education in states that do not mandate sexual health education, like Nebraska.Purpose To compare pregnancy outcomes in women with pPROM and a cervical cerclage in whom the cerclage was removed within 24 h and those in whom the cerclage was retained in situ. Methods A two-center retrospective cohort study of women with a singleton gestation with pPROM at 7 days (29.8% vs. 8.7%, p = 0.04; aOR 7.0, 95% CI 2.5-19.6) compared with women in whom cerclage was removed. Furthermore, chorioamnionitis rate was lower i
