Tutorial on Biostatistics: Longitudinal Analysis of Correlated Continuous Eye Data
Objective: To describe and demonstrate methods for analyzing data subjects correlated with the size of the elongated sustainable results.
Methods: We described the effects remain, and general mixed effects models estimating equations (GEE), applied them to the data of the Complications of Age-Related Macular Degeneration Prevention Trial (CAPT) and Eye Age-Related Disease Study (AREDS). In the CAPT (N = 1052), we assessed the effects of laser eye-specific treatment on changes in visual acuity (VA). In the AREDS study, we evaluated the effect of treatment of systemic supplement among 1463 participants with AMD category 3.
Results: In the CAPT, the correlation between the eyes (0.33 to 0.53) and the longitudinal correlation (.31 to .88) varied. There is a small treatment effect on VA change (about a letter) at 24 months for all three models (p = .009 to 0.02). Better fit model with mixed effects models of fixed effects model (p <0.001). In AREDS, no significant treatment effect on all models (p> 0.55). smokers had a significantly greater decrease compared VA non-current smokers in the fixed effects models (p = 0.04) and mixed effects model with random intercept (p = 0.0003), but few are significant in mixed effects model with random intercept and slope (p = 0.08), and the GEE models (p = 0.054 to 0.07). Better fit model with fixed effect model of mixed-effects models (p <0.0001).
Conclusion: Longitudinal models using the currency as the unit of analysis can be implemented using statistical software packages available to account for both the eyes and the correlation between longitudinal. Goodness-of-fit statistic can guide the selection of the most suitable model.

computing-based identification and analysis of differential gene expression globally in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma cell lines
Ovarian cancer (OVCA) is the world’s most happening gynecologic cancer, often diagnosed at a later stage and the final result in a high mortality rate. To overcome this serious health problem, it is important to understand the molecular mechanisms and equally significant to identify biomarkers suspected and targeted drug therapy for early diagnosis and treatment of OVCA. In doing so, the strategy is designed to study the most frequently diagnosed cases of OVCA called High-Grade line of serous ovarian carcinoma cells (HGSOC) with a combination of computational biology, biostatistics and cancer informatics approaches.
This study aimed to explore global gene expression profiling, and to perform global gene analysis identified Unlike Indicated (degs) of OVCA. Microarray datasets (GSE71524) consists of a tumor and cell line samples OVCA and it is used for identification degs in this study. STRING database used for Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) degs construct network and hub genes identified by CytoHubba. In addition, the analysis of the functional enrichment of up and down-regulated degs performed by bioinformatics database called DAVID. The microRNAs (miRNAs) and transcription factors (TF) analysis is performed with the aid of biology, MAGIA and GenCOdis3, respectively.
Description: Dact3 Antibody: The Wnt signaling cascade is a conserved process in multicellular animals that plays important roles during development and can contribute to cancer and other diseases. Many members of this pathway are also expressed in the postnatal tissues such as brain. One such protein is Dact3, a member of the Dact protein family that was initially identified through binding to Disheveled (Dvl), a cytoplasmic protein essential to Wnt signaling. Dact3 is expressed in the ventral region of maturing somites, limb bud and branchial arch mesenchyme, embryonic CNS, and the adult brain. Recent evidence shows that Dact3 acts as a negative regulator Wnt/beta-catenin signaling that is repressed at the transcriptional level in colorectal cancer and this repression is associated with bivalent histone modifications. This repression can be reversed by pharmacological agents that targets both histone methylation and deacetylation, suggesting that Dact3 may be a potential target for therapeutic treatment of this cancer. At least three isoforms of Dact3 are known to exist.

Description: A polyclonal antibody raised in Rabbit that recognizes and binds to Human Dact3 . This antibody is tested and proven to work in the following applications:
As a result, the gene consists of CSF1R, TYROBP, plek, FGR, ACLY, ACACA, LAPTM5, C1 or f162, IL10RA and CD163 gene is identified as a hub. Additionally, miRNA analysis resulted in finding a zinc finger protein association with OVCA out after applying different algorithms. On the other hand, in the analysis of TF resulted in various degs enriched with NFAT, NF1 and GABP TF. In this study, it was observed that ACACA, ACLY and CSF1R degs showed a significant occurrence in the different steps, and therefore, this gene studied, to be exact. However, the results may help to find potential biomarkers with in-depth understanding of molecular mechanisms.
