Background: Metabolism alteration is a common complication of rheumatic arthritis (RA). This work investigated the reason behind RA-caused triglyceride (TG) changes.
Methods: Fresh RA patients' whole blood was transfused into NOD-SCID mice.
Contaminants in the water environment of different pyrite mines have varying characteristics due to different geological origins. Sulfur isotope (δS) is an effective tool to reveal the mechanism of water environment contamination, but no investigations have yet analyzed the characteristics and environmental significance of the δS in the water environment of different pyrite mines. This study involved a field investigation of four typical pyrite mines in China (representing volcanic, skarn, sedimentary-metamorphic, and coal-deposited types) and the analysis of the hydrochemistry of aqueous samples and the δS of both pyrite and dissolved sulfates.

Rationale: Bilateral gluteus medius contractures in adults are rare in clinical practice, with only a few cases reported. These contractures may result from repeated intramuscular injections during childhood. Understanding the clinical manifestations, diagnostic process, treatment, and outcomes can provide insights into effective management strategies.
