MIAT acted as a miR-147a sponge to increase the expression of BCOR. Silencing of MIAT suppressed LSCC progression through miR-147a/BCOR axis. MIAT acts as an oncogene by controlling miR-147a/BCOR axis in LSCC.

In the marine realm, marine protected areas (MPAs) were designated to counteract regional pressures, but they might be ineffective to protect vulnerable species and habitats, if their distribution is affected by global climate change. We used six Species Distribution Models (GLM, MARS, FDA, RF, GBM, MAXENT) to project changes in the distribution of eight benthic indicator and key species under climate change in the North Sea MPAs for 2050 and 2099. The projected distribution area of most species will be stable or even increase within the MPAs between 2001 and 2050. Thereafter, the distribution area decreased, especially within MPAs in the central North Sea by 2099, and some key species even disappeared from the MPAs. Consequently, the monitoring and protection of benthic species might not be possible within static MPA borders under climate change.The American Geriatrics Society (AGS) announced this summer its commitment to working towards a just society, one in which all people are treated equally. Following its announcement, the AGS immediately began planning a multi-year, multi-pronged initiative that is focused on the intersection of structural racism and ageism in health care. The new initiative will take three main action steps to achieve the AGS' goals. Progress is already underway, and the AGS anticipates a long, but ultimately successful journey toward the equitable future it envisions. To systematically assess literature examining the impact of being a gamer or participating in video-game-based training on surgical skills acquisition amongst medical students. Video games and surgical procedures share similar skills such as visuospatial abilities and hand-eye coordination; therefore, video games can be a valuable tool for surgical training amongst medical students. However, comprehensive, up-to-date systematic reviews are necessary to confirm. A systematic literature search of PubMed, MEDLINE, and EMBASE was performed in April 2020 with no limits set on the date of publication. Observational and randomized controlled studies were included. Quality and bias were assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for nonrandomized studies and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation system for randomized studies. A total of 575 participants from 16 studies were included. The most common surgical skills tested were laparoscopy (n= 283, from 8 studies) and robotic surical heterogeneity amongst included studies limit the ability to make conclusive decisions; thus, future studies with long-term follow-up, larger sample sizes, outcomes stratified by video-game characteristics, and up-to-date technology are necessary. Knowledge about the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) concerning viral shedding and humoral immune response against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is limited. The aim of this study is to analyze viral dynamics and the antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 in KTRs with COVID-19 and study their association with clinical data. Consecutive KTRs diagnosed with COVID-19 at our center were evaluated for clinical presentation and outcome; duration of viral shedding and viral burden by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay cycle threshold; and magnitude of seroconversion to SARS-CoV-2. Six KTRs identified with COVID-19 were hospitalized. Presenting symptoms were similar to those in the general population. Four patients had severe disease and
