Objective: To analyze the clinical and ultrasonic characteristics of breast sclerosing adenosis (SA) and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), and construct a predictive nomogram for SA.
Materials And Methods: A total of 865 patients were recruited at the Second Hospital of Shandong University from January 2016 to November 2022. All patients underwent routine breast ultrasound examinations before surgery, and the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination following the operation.

Article Synopsis
- Puerariae Lobatae Radix is a traditional Chinese medicine known for its roots, but it is often sold mixed with a less desirable plant part (Puerariae Lobatae Caulis), causing quality concerns.
- The study utilized hyperspectral imaging (HSI) with various lenses to accurately differentiate between these two products, employing advanced analytical methods like multi-layer perceptron (MLP), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and support vector machine (SVM).
- The MLP model proved to be the most accurate, achieving up to 99.11% accuracy, with a final recommendation to use specific wavelengths (2,100-2,400 nm) for developing quick, non-des
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) has been reported to regulate synaptic plasticity recently, while its role in this process remains unclear. To explore the contribution and the underlying mechanisms of NADH regulating synaptic plasticity, here, we examined NADH's effect on immediate-early response genes (IEGs) expressions, including C-Fos and Arc in primary cultured cortical neurons and the frontal cortex of mouse brain. Our results showed that NADH promoted IEGs expression and that the C-Fos and Arc levels are increased in primary cultured cortical neurons, which is almost completely blocked by N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) inhibitor, MK-801.
