Objectives: We aimed to assess the quality of information regarding depression on Chinese websites and popular video platforms.
Methods: We conducted searches on website platforms (Baidu, Bing) and video platforms (Bilibili, Douyin) using search terms "depression", "depressive disorder", "depression treatment", "depressive anxiety", "depressed patient", and "depressive symptoms". We collected the first 50 results with each search term in each platform.
This study aimed to explore the relationship between female age and pregnancy outcomes in patients undergoing their first elective single embryo transfer (eSET) of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. The retrospective cohort study encompassed 7089 IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) patients of the Reproductive Medicine Center, Henan Provincial Peoples' Hospital of China, from September 1, 2016, to May 31, 2022. Patients all received the first eSET in their IVF/ICSI cycles.

Case Presentation: A 51-year-old Chinese man with a three-year history of diabetes was diagnosed with ulcers in his left foot.
Unlabelled: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) represents a rapidly progressive, life-threatening infection involving the fascia and subcutaneous tissue. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to treat, especially in diabetic patients.
Case Presentation: This case report presents on a patient with diabetes mellitus rapidly developed a NF of the upper extremities following a minor trauma in the palmar of greater thenar.
Aims: The impaired angiogenesis is one of the main factors affecting the healing of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) wounds. Maggot debridement therapy (MDT) promotes granulation tissue growth and angiogenesis during DFU wound healing. Non-coding microRNAs can also promote local angiogenesis in DFU wounds by regulating wound repairing related gene expression.

Furthermore, the extent to which autophagy may affect the level of androgen-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia was also explored. A total of 40 Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: Testosterone group, rapamycin group, 3-methyladenine (3-MA) group, and control group.
