Background: The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of robot-assisted surgery (RA) on the risk of new vertebral compression fracture (NVCF) and bone cement leakage in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) after percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA), including percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP).

Methods: A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and adverse effects of RA-PVA versus fluoroscopy-assisted (FA)-PVA in patients with OVCF. A validation cohort of 385 patients who underwent PVP or PKP was retrospectively analyzed.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the role of cell cycle-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) as a diagnostic tool for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) by comparing serum levels of CDK1 with other markers in different patient groups.
  • Results show that CDK1 levels, along with other markers like ProGRP and NSE, are significantly higher in SCLC patients and correlate with cancer progression indicating its potential clinical value.
  • The combination of CDK1, ProGRP, and NSE provides the most accurate diagnosis for SCLC, outperforming individual markers and demonstrating high sensitivity and specificity.

Introduction: Extreme environments such as prolonged high temperatures and droughts can cause vulnerability of vegetation ecosystems. The dry-hot valleys of Southwestern China, known for their extremely high annual temperature, lack of water, and unique non-zonal "hot island" habitat in the global temperate zone, provide exceptional sites for studying how plant adapts to the prolonged dry and hot environment. However, the specific local biotic-environment relationships in these regions remain incompletely elucidated.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the serum levels of IL-17, TNF-α, and DKK-1 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) across different disease severity stages, comparing them with healthy controls.
  • A total of 141 RA patients were categorized based on disease activity, and significant elevations in these markers were found in patients with moderate to high disease activity compared to controls.
  • The findings suggest that IL-17, TNF-α, and DKK-1 levels correlate strongly with RA severity, with DKK-1 showing the highest diagnostic potential for identifying moderate to high RA activity.

To clarify the interactions between heavy metals, antibiotics, and humic acid, copper (Cu), oxytetracycline (OTC), norfloxacin (NOR), and humic acid samples from river sediment in the Polder area were selected to build single and coexisting systems. Groups of experiments were designed to investigate the kinetics, thermodynamics, and isotherms of Cu, OTC, and NOR adsorption onto humic acid in single and Cu+OTC and Cu+NOR coexisting systems (concentration ratio=1:1). The physicochemical properties of humic acid were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET tests, and IR spectroscopy, and the possible adsorption mechanisms are discussed.

Dyslipidaemia is common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) appearing both early and advanced stages of the disease. A retrospective study was designed to explore the clinical significance of high density lipoprotein (HDL) in Chinese patients with RA. Serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) were compared between RA patients complicated with osteoporosis (OP) and without OP, using logistic regression and ROC curve to analyse the association of HDL with OP.

Background: Early identification and disease monitoring are challenges facing rheumatologists in the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Methods: We utilized enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to determine 14-3-3η and anticyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP) levels, with rheumatoid factor (RF) level detected by rate nephelometry. The diagnostic value of each index was determined via receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the association between 14-3-3η and osteoporosis was assessed using multiple logistic regression analysis.

Tin-based composites hold promise as anodes for high-capacity lithium/sodium-ion batteries (LIBs/SIBs); however, it is necessary to use carbon coated nanosized tin to solve the issues related to large volume changes during electrochemical cycling, thus leading to the low volumetric capacity for tin-based composites due to their low packing density. Herein, we design a highly dense graphene-encapsulated nitrogen-doped carbon@Sn (HD N-C@Sn/G) compact monolith with Sn nanoparticles double-encapsulated by N-C and graphene, which exhibits a high density of 2.6 g cm and a high conductivity of 212 S m.

To explore the correlation of inflammation level and organ involvement in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) patients with Alb and HDL. Serum levels of Alb and HDL were measured, with AAV patients being grouped according to serum Alb and HDL levels, and indicators reflecting inflammation and renal injury were compared. Serum levels of creatinine (Cr), uric acid and CRP and renal involvement rates were higher in lower Alb patients; Cr, CRP, renal and cardiovascular involvement rates in lower HDL patients were higher.
