Background: Oral cancer is a common head and neck cancer malignancy that seriously affects patients' quality of life and increases the health care burden. Moreover, there is a lack of comprehensive reviews of previous research on factors associated with oral cancer. The aim of the current umbrella review was to provide a comprehensive and systematic summary of relevant studies, to grade the quality of evidence of relevant studies, and to provide guidance for the prevention of oral cancer.

Background: Polydatin (PD), also known as tiger cane glycoside, is a natural compound extracted from the Japanese knotweed plant, which is often referred to as white resveratrol. It exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic effects in the treatment of various diseases. However, the potential molecular mechanisms of PD in osteoarthritis have not been clearly elucidated.

The risks and benefits associated with simultaneous bilateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) continue to engender contentious debate. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of simultaneous bilateral and unilateral UKA. A retrospective review was performed between 2019 and 2022 on 280 patients (130 simultaneous bilateral vs.

Land degradation due to salinization threatens ecosystem health. Phytoremediation, facilitated by functional microorganisms, has gained attention for improving saline-alkali soils. However, the relationship between the functional potential of rhizosphere microbes involved in multi-element cycling and soil nutrient pools remain unclear.

Tungsten (W), a widely used yet understudied emerging contaminant, forms oxyanions in aqueous environments, distinguishing it from conventional heavy metals. While dissolved organic matter (DOM) demonstrates considerable potential for W binding, DOM-W interactions remain largely unexplored. Of particular significance, yet frequently overlooked, are the conformational changes in DOM during W binding processes.

Climate warming and high-intensity human activities threaten the stability of alpine meadow ecosystems. The stability of the soil microbial community is crucial for maintaining ecological service function. However, the effects of warming and litter removal on microbial interactions, community-building processes, and species coexistence strategies remain unclear.

Cell totipotency and pluripotency are the cellular basis for root regeneration in Platycladus orientalis (L.) Franco cuttings, and the regeneration of adventitious roots is a key determinant for improving stem-cutting. However, the cellular basis and physiological regulation of adventitious root formation are still ambiguous.

Diabetic wound (DW) represent a significant clinical challenge and often fail to heal effectively. Loureirin B (LB), a flavonoid extracted from dragon's blood, has shown potential by influencing macrophage polarization and promoting wound healing. However, its mechanisms and efficacy in DW remain to be explored.

Emerging evidence recognizes aberrant glycosylation as the malignant characteristics of cancer cells, but little is known about glycogenes' roles in endometrial carcinoma (EC), especially the most aggressive subtype carrying TP53 mutations. Using unsupervised hierarchical clustering, an 11-glycogene cluster is identified to distinguish an EC subtype associated with frequent TP53 mutation and worse prognosis. Among them, MGAT4A (alpha-1,3-mannosyl-glycoprotein 4-β-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase A) emerges as the most consistently overexpressed glycogene, contributing to EC aggressiveness.

Background: Mitochondrial fusion and fission are critical for the morphology and function of cells. DNM1L encodes dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1), a key protein mediating mitochondrial fission, which is upregulated in a variety of cancers and is strongly associated with tumorigenesis. We aim to investigate the relationship between DNM1L and the prognosis of gastric cancer, as well as to explore the function and mechanism of DNM1L in gastric cancer (GC).

Objective: To investigate the clinical effects of thread-dragging therapy on gangrene of non-ischemic diabetic foot ulcers (NIDFU).

Methods: A total of 136 patients with NIDFU were recruited from the Department of Peripheral Vascular Surgery, Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine between June 21, 2021 and February 1, 2023, and randomized into an intervention group and a control group, with 68 cases in each group. Both groups received basic treatment.

Lysine lactylation (Kla), an epigenetic mark triggered by lactate during glycolysis, including the Warburg effect, bridges metabolism and gene regulation. Enzymes such as p300 and HDAC1/3 have been pivotal in deciphering the regulatory dynamics of Kla, though questions about additional regulatory enzymes, their specific Kla substrates, and the underlying functional mechanisms persist. Here, we identify SIRT1 and SIRT3 as key "erasers" of Kla, shedding light on their selective regulation of both histone and non-histone proteins.

Background: Osteoarthritis has become the predominant manifestation of arthritic conditions on a worldwide scale and serves as a significant instigator of pain, impairment, and increasing socio-economic strain on a global level. The ongoing discourse on the choice between total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) for patients suffering from anterior medial osteoarthritis continues to ignite scholarly controversy. Our objective was to assess and compare the clinical outcomes of UKA and TKA within the same patient, hereby offering a novel perspective on this topic.

Carbon/Oxygen logging is an effective method to perform oil layer recognition and oil saturation calculation, which plays an important role in the evaluation of remaining oil after casing. At present, there are two main methods to calculate the ratio of carbon to oxygen (C/O). Compared with the energy window count method, the element yield method can avoid the influence of background count in the gamma spectrum and calculated carbon/oxygen value has the higher sensitivity and better accuracy, but it is still greatly affected by carbon and oxygen elements in the formation skeleton.

The disturbance of the inflammatory microenvironment is a frequent pathological trait of diabetic wounds, contributing to the emergence of numerous chronic illnesses. This is crucial in both the development and recovery of wounds caused by diabetes. This study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis of research on the inflammatory microenvironment within the domain of diabetic wounds (DW) over the past 10 years.

Article Synopsis
  • Hyperlipidemia (HLP) is a common disorder involving abnormal lipid levels, traditionally treated with statins, but these often lead to intolerance, pushing the search for alternatives like matrine from traditional Chinese medicine.
  • Research found that matrine increases the expression of LDL receptors (LDLR) in certain cell types, enhancing their ability to uptake LDL and effectively lowering lipid levels in hyperlipidemic hamsters without weight gain.
  • The study suggests matrine's potential uses not only in treating HLP but also in cancer research due to its effects on tumor cell LDL uptake, providing new insights into how it works and future drug development.

Article Synopsis
  • Gemcitabine (GEM) is commonly used to treat cancers like pancreatic cancer, but issues with resistance and toxicity highlight the need for better understanding of its mechanisms.
  • This study utilized mass spectrometry and thermal proteome profiling on MIA PaCa-2 cells to analyze GEM's effects, revealing that it increases proteins related to the cell cycle and DNA replication, particularly SKP2, which is linked to chemoresistance.
  • The combination of SKP2 inhibition with GEM showed promising results, and four potential GEM binding targets were identified, suggesting effective strategies for improving cancer treatment outcomes.
