Background: Adverse drug events (ADEs) for endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) and prostacyclin-related drugs (PRDs) have been reported in clinical trials, but large-scale, real-world evaluations for respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disorders (RTMD) remain scarce.

Methods: A pharmacovigilance analysis of the FAERS database (Q1 2004~Q2 2024) used the reporting odds ratio (ROR) method for disproportionality analysis to assess the adverse drug events (ADEs) of ERAs and PRDs in pulmonary arterial hypertension, focusing on risks related to RTMD.

Results: Reports of ADEs for ERAs (bosentan, ambrisentan, and macitentan) were 15,286, 36795, and 17,497, respectively, and for PRDs (epoprostenol, treprostinil, iloprost, and selexipag) were 5,477, 57265, 3,247, and 5,504.

Passive radiative cooling material of cellulose by coupling inorganic nanoparticles, have demonstrated competitive advantages in sustainably cooling buildings and constructions due to their voluminous availability, biodegradability, renewability, and natural origin. However, the weak stability of cellulose-inorganic nanoparticle materials when exposed to water or external forces remains a significant challenge that impedes their practical application. In this study, we proposed an easy-to-prepare, scalable, and robust cooling cellulose composite by coupling nano-SiO and cellulose acetate (CA) within cellulose fibers, using the mature pulping and paper process (filling of inorganic particles of nano-SiO and subsequent sizing of polymer of CA).

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are debilitating to the patient and costly for the healthcare system. We set up the Diabetic Rapid Evaluation and lower limb Amputation Management (DREAM) clinic with the aim of providing early directed specialist care to patients with DFUs. With early management, we hope to treat DFUs in its early stages, reducing the need for and associated morbidity of major and minor lower limb amputations.

Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) materials simultaneously featuring aesthetic and safety distinctions demonstrate versatile applications beyond cooling buildings, while the integrated advantages of high strength, morphological reconfigurability, and sustainability remain challenging for the conventional PDRC materials. Herein, we designed a robust, custom-shaped and eco-friendly cooler via a scalable solution-processable strategy, involving the nano-scale assembly of nano cellulose (NC) and inorganic nanoparticle (e.g.

(1) Background: Many co-infections of (MTB) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) have emerged since the occurrence of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. This study aims to design an effective preventive multi-epitope vaccine against the co-infection of MTB and SARS-CoV-2. (2) Methods: The three selected proteins (spike protein, diacylglycerol acyltransferase, and low molecular weight T-cell antigen TB8.

Background: This study aims to observe and investigate the clinical value of scar loosening and tissue-expansive autologous skin grafting in the treatment of postburn scars and independent risk characteristics for surgery-related complications.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 94 cases with postburn scars, and all patients were treated with scar loosening and autologous skin grafting. Overall therapeutic effects were evaluated using the standard of cure and improvement of clinical diseases.

Purpose: Infection is the most common complication following breast implant surgery. Nevertheless, the systematic administration of antibiotics after breast implant surgery has been subjected to controversial debate. In this study, we sought to elucidate the association between infection and the use of antibiotics as an aftermath of breast implantation surgical procedures.

The long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), HOX antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) is a well-characterized oncogene in multiple human cancers, but not in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). In this study, we focused on investigating the potential role of HOTAIR in stemness of CSCC. By measuring its expression using RT-qPCR in CSCC vs.

Introduction: Patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) have increased cardiovascular risk, and there are concerns about the efficacy of medical therapy.

Objective: We aimed to assess long-term tolerability and efficacy of medical therapy in PA patients.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on 201 PA patients treated with medical therapy (spironolactone, eplerenone, or amiloride) from 2000 to 2020 at 2 tertiary centers.

Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is an aggressive cancer; given that initial and specific signs are lacking, diagnosis is often late and the prognosis is poor. RNA modification has been widely studied in tumour progression. Nevertheless, little progress has been made in the signature of N -methyladenosine (m A), 5-methylcytosine (m C), N -methyladenosine (m A)-related regulators and the tumour microenvironment (TME) cell infiltration in CM.

Background: Fear of adverse effects of corticosteroids is common in dermatology and results in medication nonadherence.

Objective: To study the efficacy of targeted education in reducing topical steroid phobia.

Methods: In this double-blinded, randomized controlled trial, participants in the intervention arm were presented with an educational video and patient information leaflet targeting common misconceptions of topical corticosteroids.

Background: gene mutation causes melanoma patients to develop drug resistance after 8-9 months BRAF inhibitors treatment. Therefore, overcoming BRAF inhibitor resistance has important implications for improving patient survival. Sorafenib directly inhibits tumor cell proliferation by blocking the RAF/MEK/ERK-mediated cell signaling pathway.

Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have emerged as a cell source for regeneration medicine. ADSCs possess the capacity to differentiate into endothelial cells and serve an essential role in vascular development and function. LncRNA taurine upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) has recently been linked with angiogenesis in hepatoblastoma.

Long non-coding RNA urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 (UCA1) functions as an oncogene in different human cancers, including melanoma. However, the molecular mechanism of UCA1 underlying melanoma progression still remains largely unknown. In the present study, reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analyses were used to examine the mRNA and protein expression levels, respectively.
