Comparison of the results of medical approach and surgical approach of septic arthritis in native joints: a single-center retrospective study.

Background: The consequences of septic arthritis of natural joints may be devastating. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional results of medical approach and surgical approach for septic arthritis of native joints, and to explore whether the number of drainage tubes after arthroscopic surgery will affect the knee function of patients.

Methods: A single-center retrospective study was conducted on patients diagnosed with septic arthritis from January 2018 to January 2023.

LPCAT3 regulates the proliferation and metastasis of serous ovarian cancer by modulating arachidonic acid.

Background: Lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 3 (LPCAT3) promotes ferroptosis through the incorporating polyunsaturated fatty acids into membrane phospholipids, however, its role in serous ovarian cancer remains unclear. Here explored cancer proliferation and metastasis after modulating LPCAP3.

Methods: LPCAT3 protein in ovarian cancer tissues was detected using bioinformatic and immunohistoche mical assays.

Important ecophysiological roles of Nocardiopsis in lignocellulose degradation during aerobic compost with humic acid addition.

Improving lignocellulose degradation and organic matter conversion in agricultural and livestock wastes remains a great challenge. Here, the contribution of humic acid (HA) to lignocellulose degradation was investigated, focusing on the abundance of key microbial species and carbohydrate-active enzymes during aerobic composting. The results demonstrated that the addition of HA not only increased the complexity of the microbial network, but also enhanced the positive interaction between microorganism.

A comprehensive map of DNA-segment copy number variation in 491 genomes of common wheat uncovers genes associated with multiple agronomic traits.

DNA-segment copy number variations (DSCNVs), such as deletions and duplications, are important sources of genomic structural variation. However, types and sizes of DSCNVs in wheat, as well as their genome-wide distribution and potential functions are poorly known. Here, we identified 198,985 DSCNVs by investigating 491 genomes of common wheat, which accounted for 20% of the entire genome.

Insulin Resistance Predicts Prognosis in Patients With Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine whether insulin resistance (IR) could be used as a predictor of poor prognosis at 3 months after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).

Methods: The study included patients aged 18 years or older with a confirmed diagnosis of SAH due to ruptured aneurysm from January 2021 to March 2024. Patients with confirmed diabetes mellitus and taking glucose-lowering drugs, or taking lipid-lowering drugs, or SAH not due to ruptured aneurysm, or comorbid systemic diseases were excluded.
