CDC25A (Cell division cycle 25A)
CDC25A phosphatase is essential for cell cycle progression by activating the cyclin-associated kinases CDK4/6, CDK2 and CDK1. Its invalidation in mice is embryonic lethal. Its expression is tigthtly regulated at many levels and its overexpression is observed in various cancers, often associated with high grade tumors and poor prognosis
Acceptability of and barriers to human papillomavirus vaccination in China:A systematic review of the Chinese and English scientific literature
INTRODUCTION: Widespread adoption of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine will require population acceptance and tailoring of immunisation services to community needs and preferences. We examined peerâreviewed publications on the acceptability of and barriers to the HPV vaccine across China. METHODS: We searched English (MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science) and Chinese (CNKI, VIP, Wanfang data) databases between 1 January 2006 and 31 December 2017. We adopted a narrative approach for data synthesis. RESULTS: We identified 73 studies. The overall median acceptability of HPV vaccine was 71.8% (Q1âQ3: 58.6%â81%). Low levels of acceptability (90%) and urban eastern regions (all <35%). Despite these regional variations, common barriers to HPV vaccine acceptance were concerns about vaccine safety, uncertainty over vaccine effectiveness, low perceived risk of cervical cancer and the price of the vaccine. The level of willingness to pay for the HPV vaccine (over 153 US dollars) was very low (<7%). CONCLUSION: The acceptability of and attitudes towards HPV vaccine vary by regions and populations across China. HPV vaccination programmes will need to tailor service delivery as well as information materials to take account of regional concerns
The impact of marketisation on postgraduate career preparedness in a high skills economy
This study focuses on the consequences for high skills development of the erosion of the once clear demarcation between higher education and business. It contributes to the broader debate about the relevance of higher education for thewell-being of the society of the future. The research explores the effects of marketisation on the postgraduate curriculum and studentsâ preparedness for careers in public relations and marketing communications. Interviews with lecturers and students in two universities in the UK and Australia indicate that a tension exists between academic rigour and corporate relevancy. The consequences are a diminution of academic attachment to critique and wider social/cultural engagement, with a resulting impoverishment of studentsâ creative abilities and critical consciences. Subsequently, graduates of public relations and marketing communications, and to some extent those from other profession-related disciplines, are insufficiently prepared for careers as knowledge workers in a future high-skills economy
CDC25B associates with a centrin 2-containing complex and is involved in maintaining centrosome integrity
Background information. CDC25 (cell division cycle 25) phosphatases function as activators of CDK (cyclin-dependent kinase)âcyclin complexes to regulate progression through the CDC. We have recently identified a pool of CDC25B at the centrosome of interphase cells that plays a role in regulating centrosome numbers
Long-term cellular immunity of vaccines for Zaire Ebola Virus Diseases
Recent Ebola outbreaks underscore the importance of continuous prevention and disease control efforts. Authorized vaccines include Merckâs Ervebo (rVSV-ZEBOV) and Johnson & Johnsonâs two-dose combination (Ad26.ZEBOV/MVA-BN-Filo). Here, in a five-year follow-up of the PREVAC randomized trial (NCT02876328), we report the results of the immunology ancillary study of the trial. The primary endpoint is to evaluate long-term memory T-cell responses induced by three vaccine regimens: Ad26âMVA, rVSV, and rVSVâbooster. Polyfunctional EBOV-specific CD4+ T-cell responses increase after Ad26 priming and are further boosted by MVA, whereas minimal responses are observed in the rVSV groups, declining after one year. In-vitro expansion for eight days show sustained EBOV-specific T-cell responses for up to 60 months post-prime vaccination with both Ad26-MVA and rVSV, with no decline. Cytokine production analysis identify shared biomarkers between the Ad26-MVA and rVSV groups. In secondary endpoint, we observed an elevation of pro-inflammatory cytokines at Day 7 in the rVSV group. Finally, we establish a correlation between EBOV-specific T-cell responses and anti-EBOV IgG responses. Our findings can guide booster vaccination recommendations and help identify populations likely to benefit from revaccination

Effective Treatment Relationships for Persons with Serious Psychiatric Disorders: the Importance of Attachment States of Mind
Participants were 54 clients with serious psychiatric disorders and 21 clinical case managers. Clients\u27 serious psychiatric disorders included Axis I diagnoses, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. This study examined how attachment states of mind of both clients and case managers influenced the effectiveness of therapeutic relationships and client functioning. Client and case manager attachment states of mind interacted in predicting the working alliance and client functioning. Specifically, clients who were more deactivating with respect to attachment had better alliances and functioned better with less deactivating case managers, whereas clients who were less deactivating worked better with more deactivating case managers. These findings highlight the importance of clinicians and clients being matched in ways that balance their interpersonal and emotional strategies.
