Background: The association between marital status and gallbladder cancer (GBC) remains uncertain. This study aimed to verify the relationship between marital status and GBC and construct a prognostic nomogram to predict the impact of marital status on GBC patients.

Method: GBC patients were divided into married and unmarried groups using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.

As IoT devices are being widely used, malicious code is increasingly appearing in Linux environments. Sophisticated Linux malware employs various evasive techniques to deter analysis. The embedded trace microcell (ETM) supported by modern Arm CPUs is a suitable hardware tracer for analyzing evasive malware because it is almost artifact-free and has negligible overhead.

Background: Lipids are critical in bone metabolism, and several studies have highlighted their importance. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between apolipoprotein B (apo B) and bone mineral density (BMD) at different skeletal sites (lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total femur) and to compare the influence of apo B with other traditional lipid markers.

Methods: The study included participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2011 and 2016 who had complete data for apo B and BMD at the three skeletal sites.

Objective: To investigate the application of machine learning (ML) model-based thyroid ultrasound radiomics in the evaluation of malignancy in partially cystic thyroid nodules (PCTNs).

Methods: One hundred and ninety-two patients with 197 nodules PCTNs from January 2020 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Radiomics features were extracted based on hand-crafted features from the ultrasound images, and machine learning methods were used to build a classification model by radiomics features.

Background: The purpose of this research was to construct a novel predictive nomogram to identify specific stage IB gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) populations who could benefit from postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT).

Method: Between 2004 and 2015, 1889 stage IB GAC patients were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program database. Then Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, univariate and multivariable Cox analyses, and univariate and multivariable logistic analyses were implemented.

In the difficult gallbladder, the rate of bile duct injury (BDI) remains high. To lessen iatrogenic biliary injury, we attempted to utilize indocyanine green (ICG)-guided fluorescence cholangiography during surgery to illuminate the extrahepatic biliary tract. According to admission criteria, 38 patients were diagnosed with difficult gallbladder and underwent percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD).

Background: The dismal prognosis of gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (GSRC) is a global problem. The current study is conducted to comprehensively evaluate clinicopathological features and survival outcomes in GSRC patients stratified by anatomic subsites. Then, predictive nomograms are constructed and validated to improve the effectiveness of personalized management.

A combination of stem cells, scaffold materials, nanoparticles (NPs), and physiological factors can be used to engineer a tissue that can replace or improve the function of the damaged tissue. This study was designed to assess whether astragaloside (aS)-IV-activated rat bonemarrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), seeded on a nano-biological mesh composed of small intestinal submucosa (SIS) modified with poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) NPs (PLGA-NPs-SIS), can promote cell engraftment, proliferation, and mesh incorporation into the tissue upon implantation. aS-IV-induced BMSCs cultured with PLGA-NPs-SIS showed enhanced viability and proliferation as well as reduced apoptosis.

Liver surgery has entered the era of precision surgery. Therefore, how to optimize the resection of lesions and reduce the unnecessary time of liver ischemia and hypoxia have become the focus. A total of 11 patients who underwent fluorescence laparoscopic liver mass resection and preoperative three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction between August 2018 and July 2020 were evaluated.

Objective: We aimed to develop an early and intense lower extremity training technique using a recumbent cycle ergometer system in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Methods: This was a pilot, prospective, randomized, controlled study with 2 parallel groups followed for 3 months with blinded assessment of outcomes. Thirty-one eligible patients were randomized to experimental and control groups.

The Masquelet's induced membrane technique for repairing bone defects has been demonstrated to be a promising treatment strategy. Previous studies have shown that the vessel density of induced membrane is decreased in the late stage of membrane formation, which consequently disrupts the bone healing process. However, relatively little is known about certain mechanisms of vessel degeneration in the induced membrane tissue and whether promotion of angiogenesis in induced membranes can improve bone regeneration.

The safety and efficacy of the combination of electronic choledochoscopy and holmium laser lithotripsy for complicated bile duct stones were assessed. In total, 20 patients participated in this study, which was conducted between 2012 and 2017. None of the patients were candidates for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with stone extraction.

Extensive studies suggested epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) has significant neuroprotection against multiple central neural injuries, but the underlying mechanisms still remain poorly elucidated. Here we provide evidence to support the possible involvement of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/ protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) pathways in EGCG-mediated protection against corticosterone-induced neuron injuries. As an essential stress hormone, corticosterone could induce obvious neurotoxicity in primary hippocampal neurons.

To investigate the knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP) score in diabetes patients living in urban China regarding Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) and explore the influencing factors, this national survey recruited diabetes and prediabetes patients in 40 hospitals across 26 provinces in China. A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect the data and assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding MNT. Logistic regression was used to explore the factor influencing KAP scores.

Stress-induced neural injuries are closely linked to the pathogenesis of various neuropsychiatric disorders and psychosomatic diseases. We and others have previously demonstrated certain protective effects of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in stress-induced cerebral impairments, but the underlying protective mechanisms still remain poorly elucidated. Here we provide evidence to support the possible involvement of PKCα and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) signaling pathways in EGCG-mediated protection against restraint stress-induced neural injuries in rats.

Gemcitabine is a first‑line chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of pancreatic cancer; however resistance of the disease to the drug often develops over time. Agents that can either enhance the effects of gemcitabine, or help to overcome the chemoresistance to the drug are needed for the successful treatment of pancreatic cancer. Oridonin is one such agent which is safe and multi‑targeted and has previously been shown to induce apoptosis in other tumor cells, through mitochondrial signaling pathways.

To evaluate whether through gene transfer, which growth hormone (GH) isoform can influence the circulation IGFBP-3 level, mice were injected three times with the human cytomegalovirus (CMV) mediated mammalian expression vector encoding different GH isoform gene. Then blood samples were drawn and the ELISA method was used to determine the circulation concentration of IGFBP-3. It was found that the 22 kDa GH gene could increase IGFBP-3 levels to 1.
