Background: The incidence of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is on the rise globally. It is frequently associated with early lymphatic metastasis, and the poor prognosis tends to be poor once metastasis or recurrence occurs, even with current treatment modalities. Kushenol O, a novel extract derived from Sophora flavescens, has shown remarkable anticancer properties.

Coronavirus epidemics have posed a serious threat to both human and animal health. To combat emerging infectious diseases caused by coronaviruses, various animal infection models have been developed and applied in research, including non-human primate models, ferret models, hamster models, mouse models, and others. Moreover, new approaches have been utilized to develop animal models that are more susceptible to infection.

Accurately predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) is crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of aircraft engine operation. However, aircraft engines operate in harsh conditions, with the characteristics of high speed, high temperature, and high load, resulting in high-dimensional and noisy data. This makes feature extraction inadequate, leading to low accuracy in the prediction of the RUL of aircraft engines.

Angiogenic T cells (Tang) are crucial in promoting angiogenesis, with the loss of CD28 serving as a marker for highly differentiated and senescent T cells. This study aims to investigate the characteristics and potential roles of CD8CD28 Tang in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). A cohort of AAV patients and matched healthy controls (HCs) were analyzed.

Mycosporine-glycine (M-Gly), a member of the mycosporine-like amino acid (MAA) family, is known for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its in vivo efficacy in alleviating acute skin photodamage, primarily caused by oxidative stress, has not been well explored. In this investigation, 30 female ICR mice were divided into four groups: a control group and three Ultraviolet B (UVB)-exposed groups treated with saline or M-Gly via intraperitoneal injection for 30 days.
