Abstract Purpose Microsatellites are widely distributed repetitive DNA motifs, accounting for approximately 3% of the genome. Due to mismatch repair system deficiency, insertion or deletion of repetitive units often occurs, leading to microsatellite instability. In this review, we aimed to explore the relationship between MSI and biological behaviour of colorectal carcinoma, gastric carcinoma, lymphoma/leukaemia and endometrial carcinoma, as well as the application of frameshift peptide vaccines in cancer therapy. Methods The relevant literature from PubMed and Baidu Xueshu were reviewed in this article. The ClinicalTrials.gov database was searched for clinical trials related to the specific topic. Results Microsatellite instability is divided into three subtypes: high-level, low-level microsatellite instability, and stable microsatellites. The majority of tumour patients with high-level microsatellite instability often show a better efficacy and prognosis than those with low-level microsatellite instability or stable microsatellites. In coding regions, especially for genes involved in tumourigenesis, microsatellite instability often results in inactivation of proteins and contributes to tumourigenesis. Moreover, the occurrence of microsatellite instability in coding regions can also cause the generation of frameshift peptides that are thought to be unknown and novel to the individual immune system. Thus, these frameshift peptides have the potential to be biomarkers to raise tumour-specific immune responses. Conclusion MSI has the potential to become a key predictor for evaluating the degree of malignancy, efficacy and prognosis of tumours. Clinically, MSI patterns will provide more valuable information for clinicians to create optimal individualized treatment strategies based on frameshift peptides vaccines.

The research about the population of individual inventors/innovators in Croatia was carried out with the aim of finding answers to the following questions: 1. How many inventions/patents in Croatia are (not) commercialized; 2. What are the reasons of (un)successful commercialization of Croatian individual inventors' inventions/patents; 3. Is there any correlation between various forms of support for inventors / patent owners and successful commercialization; 4. Could education/training contribute to the successful commercialization of inventions/patents? The research was designed and carried out on individual inventors/innovators in Croatia via combination of online questionnaire and telephone interviews. The acquired data were analysed by descriptive statistics and nonparametric inferential statistics. Based on the results of the research, the literature and practical experience, a typology of individual inventors / innovators has been created. The research limitations relate to the lack of the institutional data and literature regarding the individual inventors. In addition to practical contribution of the findings regarding the public policies, there is also a theoretical contribution to existing literature.

<p>Every student must have mathematical abstraction skills. Research with a qualitative approach aims to identify the mathematical abstraction process of students when working on geometric material problems in terms of spatial intelligence. By using a descriptive design, apart from the researcher as the main instrument, the mathematical abstraction test, the spatial intelligence test, and the interview reference were used as auxiliary instruments. A total of 6 students from class VIII were selected through purposive sampling technique which was taken from each category of spatial ability which had been classified into high, medium and low criteria. Based on data analysis, students' mathematical abstraction can be grouped into 4 levels, namely: recognition, representation, structural abstraction, and structural awareness. The conclusions of this study are: 1) students with a high level of spatial intelligence can achieve all four levels of mathematical abstraction characteristics and activities, namely recognition, representation, structural abstraction, and structural awareness. 2) students with moderate spatial intelligence can only achieve two levels of mathematical characteristics and abstraction activities, namely recognition and representation. 3) students with low-level spatial intelligence are only able to achieve one level of mathematical abstraction characteristics and activity, namely recognition where students are able to remember previous activities and experiences related to the problems at hand. This shows that students with moderate and low-level spatial intelligence do not have adequate abstraction skills in the concept of geometry.</p>
