Advances in Osteoblast and Mitochondrial Dynamics and Their Transfer in Osteoporosis.

Mitochondria are important organelles in the human body and play a major role in providing cellular energy, maintaining tissue homeostasis and apoptosis. Osteoporosis, characterised by a decrease in the amount of bone tissue per unit volume, is a metabolic bone pathology with multiple causes. Under pathological conditions, mitochondrial dysfunction leads to an imbalance in mitochondrial homeostasis, resulting in a disruption of osteoblast-osteoclast homeostasis, which in turn disrupts bone homeostasis, and this disruption of homeostasis is an important pathogenetic mechanism underlying chronic metabolic bone disease in osteoporosis.

C(sp)-H Carbonylative Cyclization of Hydrazones with CO: Synthesis of Pyrazolone Derivatives.

A novel method is reported to synthesize various pyrazolones through transition-metal-free and redox-neutral 1°, 2°, or 3° C(sp)-H carbonylative cyclization using 1 atm of CO as a green carbonyl source, featuring good functional group tolerance, a broad substrate scope, facile scalability, and easy product transformation. The utility of this method could be demonstrated by the applications in preparing useful synthetic intermediates and bioactive compounds.

Uric acid mediates kidney tubular inflammation through the LDHA/ROS/NLRP3 pathway.

This study aimed to investigate whether lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) is involved in mediating uric acid-induced kidney tubular inflammatory response.

Machine learning-based identification and validation of immune-related biomarkers for early diagnosis and targeted therapy in diabetic retinopathy.

The early diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy (DR) is challenging, highlighting the urgent need to identify new biomarkers. Immune responses play a crucial role in DR, yet there are currently no reports of machine learning (ML) algorithms being utilized for the development of immune-related molecular markers in DR. Based on the datasets GSE102485 and GSE160306, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened using Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA).

Identification of a novel prognostic model for gastric cancer utilizing glutamine-related genes.

Background: Glutamine metabolism presents a promising avenue for cancer prevention and treatment, but the underlying mechanisms in gastric cancer (GC) progression remain elusive.

Methods: The TCGA-STAD and GEO GSE62254 datasets, containing gene expression, clinical information, and survival outcomes of GC, were meticulously examined. Differential expression analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) were employed to excavate a key module (MEturquoise), which was used to intersect with glutamine metabolism-related genes (GMRGs) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) to identify differentially expressed GMRGs (DE-GMRGs).

SUN1 inhibits osteogenesis and promotes adipogenesis of human adipose-derived stem cells by regulating α-tubulin and CD36 expression.

Sad and UNC84 domain 1 (SUN1) is a kind of nuclear envelope protein with established involvement in cellular processes, including nuclear motility and meiosis. SUN1 plays an intriguing role in human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) differentiation; however, this role remains largely undefined. This study was undertaken to investigate the role of SUN1 in hASCs differentiation, as well as its underlying mechanisms.

Associations between inflammatory burden index, prostate cancer, and mortality among middle-aged and elderly individuals.

Background: Inflammation plays a crucial role in prostate cancer (PCa) progression and mortality. This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of the inflammatory burden index (IBI) and its components for mortality risk among men aged 40 years and older.

Methods: A total of 7,344 participants from the NHANES 2001-2010 were included.

To investigate the biomechanical mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis and explore the effects of kinesiology taping (KT) on neuromuscular control in HV patients. The study population consisted of 16 young controls (YC group) and 15 patients with hallux valgus (HV group). All subjects underwent a natural velocity gait assessment.

A Modified Lateral Seminal Vesicle Approach Preserving the Bladder Neck in Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy Improves Urinary Continence Recovery.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of laparoscopic lateral seminal vesicle approach to preserve the bladder neck during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

Methods: Between September 2020 and December 2022, we retrospectively analyzed patients with T1-T3b stage prostate cancer treated at our institution using the laparoscopic lateral seminal vesicle approach. We recorded the bladder neck preservation success rate, cystourethral anastomosis time, urinary catheter extraction time, length of hospital stay, and urinary control scores, including urine pad use, at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months post-catheter removal.

Supplementary decompression and extended surgical time contribute to hidden blood loss In percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy.

Background: It is widely believed that the Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) is associated with minimal blood loss. However, significant perioperative hidden blood loss (HBL) is frequently unaccounted for. This study aimed to investigate HBL and peri-operative factors contributing to HBL in a series of individuals undergoing PELD.

Improving the ferroelectric properties of Lu doped HfZrOthin films by capping a CeOlayer.

Lu doped HfZrO(HZO) ferroelectric films were prepared on Pt/TiN/SiO/Si substrate by chemical solution deposition method, and an interfacial engineering strategy for improving the ferroelectric property was explored by capping the Lu doped HZO films with a cerium oxide layer. Compared with the Lu doped HZO film without the CeOcoating layer, the Lu doped HZO film with the CeOcoating layer has a larger remanent polarization (2= 34.72C cm) and presents weaker wake-up behavior, which result from the higher orthogonal phase ratio and the lower oxygen vacancy of the CeOcoated Lu doped HZO film.

Design and prediction of laser-induced damage threshold of CNT-PDMS optoacoustic transducer.

The optoacoustic transducer has emerged as a new candidate for medical ultrasound applications and attracts considerable attention. Optoacoustic diagnosis and treatment sometimes require high-intensity acoustic pressure, which is often accompanied by the problem of laser-induced damage. Addressing the laser-induced damage phenomenon from a theoretical perspective holds paramount importance.
