Objective: To compare clinical effect between open reduction and fixation with cannulated screw and threaded rivet via posteromedial approach versus arthroscopic Endobutton plate fixation in treating posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures.

Methods: Clinical data of 38 patients with posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures from July 2020 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively, and divided into open reduction and internal fixation group (posterior medial approach hollow anchor system fixation) and arthroscopic fixation group (Endobutton with loop plate fixation under arthroscopy). There were 20 patients in open reduction and internal fixation group, including 16 males and 4 females, aged from 26 to 74 years old with an average of (42.

Palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1(PPT1) is a lysosomal enzyme that catalyzes the protein depalmitoylation. It is considered to play a crucial role in regulating lysosomes, mitochondria and lipid metabolism. PPT1 has been reported to play an important role in the occurrence and progression of diseases, such as neurological diseases and cancers.

Background: Dinobdella ferox is the most frequently reported leech species parasitizing the mammalian nasal cavity. However, the molecular mechanism of this special parasitic behavior has remained largely unknown.

Methods: PacBio long-read sequencing, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and Hi-C sequencing were employed in this study to generate a novel genome of D.

STIM1 (stromal interaction molecule 1) is one of the key components of the store operated Ca entry channel (SOCE), which is located on the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and highly expressed in most kinds of tumors. STIM1 promotes tumorigenesis and metastasis by modulating the formation of invadopodia, promoting angiogenesis, mediating inflammatory response, altering the cytoskeleton and cell dynamics. However, the roles and mechanism of STIM1 in different tumors have not been fully elucidated.

Article Synopsis
  • D. Don trees, popular in southern China for their ornamental beauty, recently suffered a disease outbreak causing severe dieback symptoms, particularly in Nanjing.
  • An extensive survey of 130 trees revealed that over 90% were affected, showing brown crowns without noticeable bark differences from healthy trees.
  • Fungal isolates were collected from the affected trees, with seven identified as pathogenic and responsible for stem basal canker; one of these isolates represented a new species, with both pathogens being significant threats to D. Don trees.

FSCN1, an actin-bundling protein, is highly expressed in almost all metastatic tumors and is associated with the poor prognosis. In breast cancer FSCN1 is highly expressed in basal-like and triple negative subgroups. There is significant progress in understanding the role of fascin in breast cancer.

The matrix metallopeptidase family (matrix metallopeptidase, MMPs) is a class of zinc-dependent endopeptidases that can degrade most extracellular matrices. MT1-MMP (membrane type 1 metalloprotease) is an important metallopeptidase, which is located on plasma membrane and highly expressed in most tumors. MT1-MMP promotes cancer metastasis through affecting the extracellular matrix remodeling, angiogenesis, lipid metabolism, and inflammation.

Article Synopsis
  • - In August 2021, a significant blight affecting 20% of 1-year-old seedlings of *Lamb.* occurred in a nursery in Luzhai, Guangxi, China, primarily impacting shoot tips and causing visible symptoms like brown and reddish needles and shoots.
  • - Three fungal isolates (GXJ2, GXJ4, and GXJ6) were obtained from the affected seedlings, characterized by different morphologies of conidia and growth patterns on potato dextrose agar (PDA).
  • - Genetic analysis revealed that GXJ2 closely matched *[genus name]* with over 99% similarity in sequences, while GXJ4 and GXJ6 were similar to *[another genus]*, confirming

Background: Predictors of recurrence in patients with lymph node-negative gastric cancer (GC) who have undergone curative resection have been widely investigated, but not the effects of predictors on timing of recurrence.

Objective: Determine the factors associated with early and late recurrence in patients with node-negative GC.

Design: Retrospective cohort.

Purposes: The lymph node ratio (LNR) has been considered a better prognostic factor than traditional N staging in patients with gastric cancer (GC), but its accuracy is unclear for those who receive neoadjuvant therapy (NAT). We aimed to compare the node ratio (Nr) staging with the ypN staging and to thereby develop a modified staging system incorporating Nr staging.

Methods: A total of 1791 patients who underwent gastrectomy after NAT in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database were retrospectively analyzed.

To study the effect of combined ultraviolet (UV) chloramine disinfection on viruses in a drinking water supply system, a full-scale experiment was conducted to analyze the distribution, variability, community structure, and hosts of viruses using metagenomics. The results showed that the combined UV chloramine process reduced the number of virus species (6.13%) and gene abundance (51.

Objective: The immune inflammation-based score is recognized as a prognostic marker for cancer. However, the most accurate prognostic marker for patients with gastric cancer remains undetermined. We aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio for outcomes in gastric cancer patients after radical gastrectomy.

Objective: To observe the change of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) patients, and to study the effect of Qingyi Chengqi Decoction (QCD) on it.

Methods: Eighty-six SAP patients from Department of General Surgery and Department of Digestive Diseases, Qingyang People's Hospital, Gansu Province, who were in line with diagnosis standard of SAP, were assigned to the treatment group (44 cases) and the control group (42 cases) from March 2012 to May 2013. All patients received routine Western medicine.
