In recent years, the study of air pollution has received increasing attention from researchers, but a summary of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and air pollution is missed. Through combing the documents in the core dataset of Web of Science, this study analyzes current research based on specific keywords. CiteSpace and VOSviewer perform statistical analysis of measurement metrics to visualize a network of relevant content elements.

Neurofilament Light Chain (NfL) holds promise as such a marker and has garnered significant attention in the field of neurological diseases over the past decades.
Methods: Corresponding articles from 2013 to 2023 were collected from the Web of Science database, and data were analyzed by CiteSpace and VOSviewer software.
Plant plasma membrane (PM) H-ATPases are essential pumps involved in multiple physiological processes. They play a significant role in regulating pH homeostasis and membrane potential by generating the electrochemical gradient of the proton across the plasma membrane. However, information on soybean PM H-ATPase is still limited.

Here, we report a patient with metastatic large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) treated with Sintilimab for five cycles who developed shortness of breath after activity. The level of creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) were significantly increased.

Methods: Totally, 365 patients with locoregionally advanced NPC who underwent radical radiotherapy were randomly divided into the training set (n = 255) and the testing set (n = 110) at a ratio of 7:3. All variables were included in the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression to screen out the potential predictors for xerostomia as well as the Grade 3 xerostomia in locoregionally advanced NPC patients receiving radical radiotherapy.
Plants have evolved numerous receptor-like kinases (RLKs) that modulate environmental stress responses. However, little is known regarding soybean (Glycine max) RLKs. We have previously identified that Glycine soja Ca /CAM-binding RLK (GsCBRLK) is involved in salt tolerance.

However, the role of miR-216a-5p in the pathogenesis of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) remains obscure.

Recently, we globally assessed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) for contributions to SCLC chemoresistance using microarray data, in vitro and in vivo assays. Here we reported that HOTTIP, encoding a lncRNA that is frequently amplified in SCLC, was associated with SCLC cell chemosensitivity, proliferation, and poor prognosis of SCLC patients.

Methods: In this study, WBP5 was examined in 62 small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patient samples by immunohistochemical technique.
Objective: To explore the influencing factors on psychological resilience of left-behind children in rural areas and to find protective factors for psychological resilience by Structural Equation Model.
Methods: 349 left-behind children of two rural middle schools in Zizhong County, Sichuan Province were measured in group by the Social Support Appraisals (SS-A) Scale and California Health Kids Survey Resilience Assessment Module (HKRA) and other appraisal scales as well as cross-section investigated by self-made questionnaire, using Structural Equation Model for statistical analysis.
Results: Psychological resilience of left-behind children in rural areas was divided into two parts which were external protective factor and internal characteristic of individual.
