Exploring questions of touch after COVID, this essay puts into dialogue Antonin Artaud and Adam Tooze (among others). The dynamics care contagion, the tangible intangible, active passive – as also reflection on ‘contactless’ ‘untact’ economies are addressed in terms Artaud’s visionary writings concerning theatre plague, madness judgement. Being touched by these offers a way to think through amb...

Objective(s): To explore the correlation between expression patterns and functions of miR-383 and LDHA in hepatocellular cancer (HCC). Materials and Methods: We detected the expression of miR-383 and LDHA in 30 HCC tissues and their matched adjacent normal tissues using qRT-PCR. Then we performed MTT assay, foci formation assay, transwell migration assay, glucose uptake assay and lactate produc...

Objective(s):Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) is overexpressed in cervical cancer (CC). However, the molecular mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism of eIF4E gene overexpression in CC. Materials andMethods:The human papillomavirus (HPV) type 18 E7 and eIF4E mRNAs were measured following knock down or overexpression of E7 gene by RT-P...
