The administrative units of 17 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) along the "Belt and Road" were selected as basic spatial units to calculate the provincial traffic carbon emissions along the "Belt and Road" from 2000 to 2021. On the basis of analyzing the spatial and temporal characteristics of traffic carbon emissions by using the spatial autocorrelation method, the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of influencing factors of traffic carbon emissions was explored by combining a fixed-effect regression model and geographic detector. The results show that: ① The provincial traffic carbon emissions along the "Belt and Road" had significant spatial positive correlation, and the overall trend was upward.

The escalating obesity epidemic and aging population have propelled metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) to the forefront of public health concerns. The activation of FXR shows promise to combat MASH and its detrimental consequences. However, the specific alterations within the MASH-related transcriptional network remain elusive, hindering the development of more precise and effective therapeutic strategies.

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most widespread neurodegenerative disease in the world. Previous studies have shown that peripheral immune dysregulation plays a paramount role in AD, but whether there is a protective causal relationship between peripheral immunophenotypes and AD risk remains ambiguous.

Methods: Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) was performed using large genome-wide association study (GWAS) genetic data to assess causal effects between peripheral immunophenotypes and AD risk.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple risk variants for Parkinson's disease (PD). Nevertheless, how the risk variants confer the risk of PD remains largely unknown. We conducted a proteome-wide association study (PWAS) and summary-data-based mendelian randomization (SMR) analysis by integrating PD GWAS with proteome and protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) data from human brain, plasma and CSF.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the genetic relationship between Parkinson's disease (PD) and brain structural abnormalities, aiming to identify shared genomic loci linked to both conditions.
  • Researchers used advanced statistical analyses on genome-wide association studies to find genetic overlaps between PD and various brain structural phenotypes, discovering 21 new risk loci.
  • The findings highlight a complex genetic architecture with several shared loci related to immune functions, suggesting that the genetics of PD may be interconnected with brain structure variations.

Diabetic complications with high-glucose status (HGS) cause the dysregulated autophagy and excessive apoptosis of multiple-type cells, leading to the difficulty in wound self-healing. Herein, we firstly developed fiber-reinforced gelatin (GEL)/β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) therapeutic hydrogels by the modification of platelet-rich plasma exosomes (PRP-EXOs). The GEL fibers that were uniformly dispersed within the GEL/β-CD hydrogels remarkably enhanced the compression strengths and viscoelasticity.

Background: While previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple risk variants for migraine, there is a lack of evidence about how these variants contribute to the development of migraine. We employed an integrative pipeline to efficiently transform genetic associations to identify causal genes for migraine.

Methods: We conducted a proteome-wide association study (PWAS) by combining data from the migraine GWAS data with proteomic data from the human brain and plasma to identify proteins that may play a role in the risk of developing migraine.

Article Synopsis
  • Autogenous bone grafting has limitations such as limited supply, donor site complications, and challenges in treating large defects, leading to a need for effective bone substitutes.
  • Inspired by the strong structure of mollusk nacre, researchers developed a cerium-doped layered nano-hydroxyapatite/chitosan scaffold (CeHA/CS), which combines the strength of hydroxyapatite with the flexibility of chitosan, mimicking the natural resilience of nacre.
  • Both in vitro and in vivo studies show that CeHA/CS scaffolds significantly promote bone tissue growth and regeneration by enhancing osteogenic gene expression and inhibiting osteoclast formation, indicating their potential as an effective bone substitute.

Background: The incidence of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is low, and involvement of the thyroid is even rarer, which results in high missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis rates.

Case Summary: We report a young woman with a thyroid nodule. Thyroid malignancy was suggested by fine needle aspiration, but she was eventually diagnosed with multisystem LCH, thus avoiding thyroidectomy.

GGC repeat expansion in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of NOTCH2NLC is associated with a broad spectrum of neurological disorders, especially neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID). Studies have found that GGC repeat expansion in NOTCH2NLC induces the formation of polyglycine (polyG)-containing protein, which is involved in the formation of neuronal intranuclear inclusions. However, the mechanism of neurotoxicity induced by NOTCH2NLC GGC repeats is unclear.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Heidihuang Wan (HDHW) is a classic Chinese herbal formula, which was first recorded in the "Suwen Bingji Qiyi Baoming Collection" written by Liu Wansu during the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234 AD). It is commonly used clinically for the treatment of kidney diseases and its curative effect is stable. Previous animal experiments have confirmed that HDHW can effectively improve renal fibrosis.

Objective: Our goal was to investigate the correlation between papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) characteristics on ultrasonography and metastases of lymph nodes posterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve (LN-prRLN). There is still no good method for clinicians to judge whether a patient needs LN-prRLN resection before surgery, and we also wanted to establish a new scoring system to determine whether patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma require LN-prRLN resection before surgery.

Patients And Methods: There were 482 patients with right or bilateral PTC who underwent thyroid gland resection from December 2015 to December 2017 recruited as study subjects.

Increasing evidence indicates that excessive drug consumption is sufficient for the transition from recreational and controlled drug use to uncontrolled use and addiction. However, the underlying mechanisms are debated. Some neurobehavioral and neuroimaging evidence indicates that dorsolateral striatum (dlStr)-dependent habit learning plays a key role in excessive drug intake and the transition to addiction, but little is known about the molecular events.
