Cardiac Response Dynamics in Newly Diagnosed Light-Chain Amyloidosis Patients With Early and High-Quality Hematologic Response.

Background: The goal of hematological response has been well established in the treatment of systemic light chain amyloidosis. However, the pattern of cardiac response remains unknown.

Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the cardiac response dynamics in patients with an early and high-quality hematological response.

Insights into incompatible plasmids in multidrug-resistant Raoultella superbugs.

The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Raoultella isolates is linked to the acquisition of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) with plasmids playing a pivotal role in this process. While plasmid-mediated transmission of ARGs in Raoultella has been extensively reported, limited attention has been given to genetically dissecting the modular structures of plasmids. This study aims to elucidate the genomic features of novel incompatible plasmids in MDR Raoultella by presenting 13 complete plasmid sequences from four isolates, along with an analysis of 16 related plasmids from GenBank.

Sp3 ameliorated experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by triggering Socs3 in Th17 cells.

Introduction: Although it is believed that chronic inflammatory and degenerative diseases of the central nervous system are mediated by autoimmune Th17 cells, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Recent studies and our research have revealed that Sp3 was blocked in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). However, it remained unclear why it is silent and how it regulates Th17 cell differentiation in MS.

Global identification and regulatory network analysis reveal the significant roles of lncRNAs during anther and pollen development in Arabidopsis.

A high-throughput sequencing identified 1283 lncRNAs in anthers at different stages in Arabidopsis and their relationship with protein-coding genes and miRNAs during anther and pollen development were analyzed. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulatory molecules involved in various biological processes. However, their roles in male reproductive development and interactions with miRNAs remained elusive.

Analysis of feasibility, effectiveness and safety of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery(vNOTES) of ectopic pregnancy: a retrospective study.

Background: vNOTES has been documented as a viable approach for conducting benign gynecologic surgery; however, its application in ectopic pregnancy cases remains relatively scarce. The principal objective of this investigation was to assess the practicability, effectiveness, and safety of vNOTES in surgical procedures related to ectopic pregnancy.

Methods: Clinical data pertaining to patients diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy at Beijing Hospital between January 2018 and August 2023 were retrospectively collected (This study retrospectively registered with the China Clinical Trial Registry with the registration number ChiCTR2100052223 in September 22, 2021.
