Comparative analysis of warm needle moxibustion and gua sha nursing care on sleep quality and psychological stress in insomnia patients undergoing eszopiclone tablet treatment: A retrospective study.

This retrospective study aims to assess the adjunctive efficacy of warm needle moxibustion and gua sha care in the treatment of eszopiclone tablets on sleep quality and psychological stress in insomnia patients. Data of 138 insomnia patients from Gansu Baoshihua hospital between January and December 2022 were collected. Patients were bifurcated into 2 groups: those solely treated with eszopiclone (n = 71) and those administered a combined regimen of eszopiclone, warm needle moxibustion, and gua sha (n = 67).

A comparison of the clinicopathological features and genetic alterations in stage II/III gastric cancer with no recurrence, early recurrence and late recurrence after curative surgery.

Background: Few studies have explored the genetic changes and clinicopathological features of stage II/III gastric cancer (GC) patients with no tumor recurrence, early recurrence, or late recurrence after curative surgery.

Methods: In this study, 376 patients who underwent curative surgery for stage II/III GC were analyzed. The clinical and genetic features of patients with no recurrence, early recurrence (<2 years), and late recurrence (≥2 years) were compared.

Integrin α6 and integrin β4 in exosomes promote lung metastasis of colorectal cancer.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. The mechanisms underlying metastasis, which contributes to poor outcomes, remain elusive.

Methods: We used the Cancer Genome Atlas dataset to compare mRNA expression patterns of integrin α6 (ITGA6) and integrin β4 (ITGB4) in patients with CRC.

A multidimensional pan-cancer analysis of NDUFA4L2 and verification of the oncogenic value in colon cancer.

NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) 1 alpha subcomplex, 4-like 2 (NDUFA4L2) protein is located in the mitochondria and can regulate cell proliferation. Some studies have shown that the high NDUFA4L2 expression is linked with poor prognosis and cancer progression in various patients with cancers. However, the correlation between NDUFA4L2 and pan-cancer is unknown.

Chemodivergent and Enantioselective Synthesis of Spirobi[dihydrophenalene] Structures.

The development and enantioselective synthesis of two types of -symmetric spirobi[dihydrophenalene] structures is reported. The reaction proceeds via rhodium-catalyzed 2-fold asymmetric conjugate arylation of dienones followed by BF·OEt-promoted spirocyclization to give the enantiopure spiro products. Additive-dependent chemodivergent synthesis of 3,3'-diarylated 2,2',3,3'-tetrahydro-1,1'-spirobi[phenalene]-9,9'-diols (3,3'-Ar-SPHENOLs) and the corresponding spiro diary ethers from the same intermediate is achieved.
