[Nasal endoscopic treatment for nasal deformity secondary to unilateral cleft lip and palate using septal cartilage and bone].

To explore the surgical methods and treatment outcomes of nasal endoscopic surgery for nasal deformity secondary to unilateral cleft lip and palate, combined with nasal septal deviation, using nasal septal cartilage and bone. Eleven patients who underwent surgical treatment for unilateral cleft lip and palate secondary to nasal deformity in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Linyi People's Hospital, Shandong Second Medical University, from March 2021 to March 2023, were retrospectively analyzed. The cohort included 8 males and 3 females, aged (22.

Cerebellum abnormalities in vascular mild cognitive impairment with depression symptom patients: A multimodal magnetic resonance imaging study.

Background: Subcortical vascular mild cognitive impairment (svMCI) frequently occurs alongside depression symptoms, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. While cognitive decline and depression symptoms are linked to cerebellar changes, the specific relationship between these changes and cognitive status in svMCI patients with depression symptoms remains unclear.

Objective: This study aimed to investigates the gray matter volume and functional alterations in the cerebellum of svMCI patients, with and without depression symptoms, and their correlation with cognitive and depressive symptoms.

[The impact of frailty on the prognosis of chronic heart failure patients treated with cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator implantation].

The aim of this study was to assess the frailty status of patients with heart failure undergoing CRT-D and then explore the predictive value of frailty for all-cause mortality and heart failure-related readmissions in these patients. We retrospectively included 374 patients with chronic heart failure who underwent CRT-D treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University between June 2020 and June 2024. Based on the Tilburg Debilitation Assessment Scale, 175 patients (46.

Overlooked risks of photoaging of nitrogenous microplastics with natural organic matter in water: Augmenting the formation of nitrogenous disinfection by-products.

In aqueous environments, microplastics (MPs) undergo photoaging, releasing dissolved organic matter (DOM). Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) formation from natural organic matter (NOM) phototransformation has been reported. However, the impact of NOM on the photoaging of MPs (especially nitrogen-containing MPs) and subsequent nitrogenous DBPs (N-DBPs) formation remains unknown.

[Research progress of fetuin-B in the female reproductive system].

Fetuin-B (FETUB) is a glycoprotein mainly synthesized and secreted by the liver. It is involved in many physiological and pathological processes including glucose metabolism, inflammatory response, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, myocardial infarction, tumor and so on. In recent years, FETUB has also been confirmed to play roles in the female reproductive system.
