Article Synopsis
  • This meta-analysis investigates the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) among multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, identifying variations based on different diagnostic methods.
  • Using various online databases, researchers analyzed data from 14 studies, revealing that diagnosis method influences OSAHS incidence rates: 36% when using polysomnography (PSG), 26% with STOP-BANG, and 30% via the Berlin questionnaire.
  • The findings suggest higher incidence rates of OSAHS in MS patients and indicate that MS may worsen sleep quality and related monitoring indicators.

The symbiotic relationship between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plants is well known for its benefits in enhancing plant growth and stress resistance. Research on whether key components of the AMF colonization process, such as MyC factors, can be directly utilized to activate plant symbiotic pathways and key functional gene expression is still lacking. In this paper, we found that, using a hydroponics system with , MyC factor analogue chitin oligomer 5 (CO5) had a more pronounced growth-promoting effect compared to symbiosis with AMF at the optimal concentration.

Objective: This study aimed to distinguish between healthy controls and patients with OSAHS regarding homocysteine (HCY) levels and investigate how individuals with OSAHS respond to continuous positive airway pressure ventilation (CPAP) in terms of serum and plasma HCY levels.

Methods: To ascertain published articles about OSAHS, an exhaustive search was performed across medical databases, encompassing PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, CNKI, and Cochrane Library, until January 2, 2024. This study reviewed the literature regarding HCY levels in individuals with OSAHS and control groups, HCY levels under pre- and post-CPAP treatment, the Pearson/Spearman correlation coefficients between HCY levels and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), and the hazard ratio (HR) of HCY levels concerning the occurrence of major adverse cerebrocardiovascular events (MACCEs) in patients with OSAHS.

Background: Sarcopenia, marked by a reduction in skeletal muscle mass and function, is a condition that can manifest in elderly patients with cancer and has been recognized as a possible adverse factor affecting the survival of individuals diagnosed with malignant tumors. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to examine the prevalence of sarcopenia in individuals with cholangiocarcinoma while concurrently investigating the potential correlations between the presence of sarcopenia and various critical factors, including survival outcomes and postoperative complications.

Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases, including EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and CNKI, employing keywords such as sarcopenia, cholangiocarcinoma, and prognosis.
