421 Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer. It is required a better understanding of signalling pathways involved in renal cells. Methods: We assessed using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) with SYBR Green the profile of predictive markers involved in the cascade of events leading to the formation and progression: invasiveness, angiogenesis and antiapoptotic mechanisms. 80 RCC tissues were detected by IHC. RNA of quality only was obtained in 72 (80% clear RCC, 10% papillary RCC and 10% chromophobe RCC) to carry out the study of gene expression through qPCR. A pool of normal kidney-derived RNA samples (N=5) was used as healthy control. GAPDH and YWHAZ were used as reference genes. GenEx software was used for qPCR data processing and analysis. Nonparametric tests (Pearson’s correlation coefficient test and Spearman’s rho test, Kruskal — Wallis and Mann — Whitney) were applied for statistical data analysis (SPSS 19). Results: p53 showed higher expression in those cases with Furhman grade I (p=0.036). Moreover p53 showed a positive association with VEGF, GLUT1, GLUT4, VEGFR-2 and VHL (r=0.241, sig. level 0.05; r=0.291, sig. level 0.01; r=0.456, sig. level 0.01; r=0.187, sig. level 0.097 and Spearman’s rho=0.269, sig. level 0.05 respectively). Hif1- α, Hif1- β, Notch1 and Notch3 were upregulated in chromophobe RCC (p=0.045, p=0.03, p=0.03 and p=0.02 respectively). Hif1- α and Notch3 were upregulated in clear RCC (p=0.034 and p=0.041 respectively). Spearman’s correlation coefficient showed a strong positive correlation between Nocth1-4 members and their receptors and Hif1-α and β genes. Highlight the correlation found between: Notch1 and Hif1-α (Spearman’s rho = 0.740, significance level 0.01) and Hif1-β and Jagged1 (Spearman’s rho = 0.752, significance level 0.01). Conclusions: The pathway involving the tumor suppressor gene p53 could regulate tumor angiogenesis. Co-expression of Notch receptors, their ligands and Hif-1 α and Hif1- β subunits may play a role in human RCC. Notch cascade may represent a novel and therapeutically accessible pathway in chromophobe and clear RCC. More detailed studies of these crossing pathways are in progress.

Accurately predicting precipitation trends is vital in the economic development of a country. This research investigated precipitation variability across 15 stations in the Swat River basin, Pakistan, over a 51-year study period (1961–2011). Nonparametric Mann-Kendall (MK) and Spearman’s rho (SR) statistical tests were used to detect trends in monthly, seasonal, and annual precipitation, and the trend-free prewhitening approach was applied to eliminate serial correlation in the precipitation time series. The results highlighted a mix of positive (increasing) and negative (decreasing) trends in monthly, seasonal, and annual precipitation. One station in particular, the Saidu Sharif station, showed the maximum number of significant monthly precipitation events, followed by Abazai, Khairabad, and Malakand. On the seasonal time scale, precipitation trends changed from the summer to the autumn season. The Saidu Sharif station revealed the highest positive trend (7.48 mm/year) in annual precipitation. In the entire Swat River basin, statistically insignificant trends were found in the subbasins for the annual precipitation series; however, the Lower Swat subbasin showed the maximum quantitative increase in the precipitation at a rate of 2.18 mm/year. The performance of the MK and SR tests was consistent at the verified significance level.

Patients with hemodialysis therapy have uncertainty as to how long hemodialysis is required and should accept the fact that therapy is needed throughout life. Because it appears anxiety response, rejection and anger. ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy, require support from the family. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of family support and economic status with depressed ESRD patients who underwent hemodialysis therapy <1 year. The design of this research is descriptive correlation with cross sectional research method, by using simple random sampling technique with the number of samples of 47 ESRD patients who are undergoing hemodialysis at Gatoel Hospital Mojokerto. The Research done in April 2017. The results obtained most of the respondents have economic ability Above the Provincial Minimum Wage of 27 respondents (57.4%). Most of the respondents stated that they received good family support in 30 categories (63,8%) and most of respondents had light depression 24 respondents (51,1%). Based on statistical test of spearman's rho with significance level α 0,05 obtained result (r) = 0,462 meaning bigger than value signifikansi (0,462> 0,05) hence H1 rejected which mean there is no significant relation between economic status with depression level In ESRD patients and Spearman's rho statistical test results obtained significance value 0.000 <0.05 which means there is a significant relationship between family support with depression levels in ESRD patients. The economic level does not affect depression because the cost of hemodialysis therapy all respondents is covered by health insurance, whereas family support has a positive influence where the better the family support the lighter the depression level in ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy

e12543 Background: In México the 5-year overall survival of Early Breast Cancer (EBC) reaches to 82-97%. Oncotype Dx evaluates the expression of 21 genes associated with recurrence and classifies patients into risk groups. PREDICT (https://breast.predict.nhs.uk/tool) is an online tool which assesses 5 and 10 year overall survival in breast cancer patients who receive adjuvant chemotherapy, adjuvant hormonal therapy and trastuzumab therapy for HER2(+) patients. Methods: Retrospective review of medical records of early stage breast cancer patients with (HR+) and HER2 (-) treated at our institution. Clinicopathological characteristics and (RS) were collected. 5-year overall survival was calculated with the PREDICT online tool. Both scores were compared and the correlation was estimated with Spearman’s Rho and global agreement with intraclass correlation coefficient (CCI), statistical software: STATA SE ver11.0 (StataCorp LLC Texas,USA). Results: From January 2008 to December 2018, 136 patients with EBC (IA-IIB), HR(+) HER2(-), N0-1 were included. The Median age at diagnosis was 55.03 years (30-80). Stage IA patients accounted for 68.38% of the population. Patients were classified into risks according to the original description of Oncotype. 72 patients (53%) were classified as low risk (LR), 49 (36%) at intermediate risk (IR) and 15 (11%) patients at high risk (HR). When reclassifying the risk categories using the cut-off values in TAILORx trial, the population distribution was modified, with a notable increase in the population in IR with 86 (63.2%) patients in this group, 28 patients in the LR group ( 20.5%) and 22 patients (16.1%) in HR. We decided to use TAILORx cut-off values for the aim of this work. Mean overall survival established by the 21 gene RS was 98% for the overall population. The mean overall survival calculated by PREDICT was 93%. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was 0.16 (Spearman’s Rho = 0.16 p = 0.065) with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) = 0.04 (IC 95% -0.15 – 0.22, p = 0.33). Conclusions: The results do not show a clear correlation between the tests. Lack of such correlation may be due to a low number of patients. In our population PREDICT couldn't replace the RS test for therapeutic decision making.

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is widely used as an important industrial crop. It has the potential to act as a sustainable energy provider in the future, and contains beneficial compounds for medical and therapeutic use. However, there are no clear breeding strategies to increase its biomass or leaf volume. Thus, to attain an increase in these parameters, we examined potential key traits such as stem diameter, plant height, and number of nodes to determine the relationship among them. We hypothesized that it would be easier to reduce the amount of time and labor required for breeding if correlations among these parameters are identified. In this study, we found a strong positive correlation between height and number of nodes (Spearman’s Rho = 0.67, p < 0.001) and number of nodes and stem diameter (Spearman’s Rho = 0.65, p < 0.001), but a relatively low correlation (Spearman’s Rho = 0.34, p < 0.01) between height and stem diameter in the later stages of kenaf growth. We suggest that an efficient breeding strategy could be devised according to the breeding purpose, considering the correlations between various individual traits of kenaf.

Toddler is an age group that was susceptible to nutritional disorders because that age requires greater nutrition for growth period. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between knowledge and parenting in feeding with nutritional status in toddler. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. The population of 1,135 people and the sample consisted of 114 respondents with sampling techniques used simple random sampling. The independent variable in this study were the knowledge and parenting style of feeding which was measured used a questionnaire and the dependent variable of this study was the nutritional status of children measured by the assessment of nutritional status of the WHO. Data were analyzed used the Spearman's rho and Chi-square test with significance level ρ = 0.05. Result: The results showed that there was a relationship between knowledge of mothers with nutritional status of children (p = 0.001) and there was no relationship between parenting in feeding and nutritional status in toddler (p = 0.662). Conclusion: Most mothers with insufficient knowledge about nutrition have toddlers with poor nutritional status and mothers applied democratic parenting with good nutritional status for toddlers, this showed that education needs to be done on the importance of nutrition to improve children's health and welfare. Keywords: knowledge, parenting in feeding, nutritional status
