Preliminary study on the correlation between thyroid magnetic resonance parameters and radiation dose after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Background: Hypothyroidism is a common sequela after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has gained prominence in thyroid imaging, leveraging its non-ionizing radiation, high spatial resolution, multiparameter and multidirectional imaging. Few previous studies have investigated the evaluation of radiation-induced thyroid injury by MRI.

Successful treatment of severe acrodermatitis continua of hallopeau with Bimekizumab: A case report.

Acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau is a rare form of pustular psoriasis affecting the acral fingers and toes, characterized by recurrent eruptions of sterile pustules that lead to significant pain and potentially irreversible destruction of the nail apparatus. Symptoms are often refractory to topical and systemic therapies for psoriasis. This case report presents a healthy 23-year-old female with severe acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau, destructing all 10 fingernails.

Microbial lysates as low-cost serum replacements in cellular agriculture media formulation.

Cultivated meat, the process of generating meat in vitro without sacrificing animals, is a promising alternative to the traditional practice of livestock agriculture. However, the success of this field depends on finding sustainable and economical replacements for animal-derived and expensive fetal bovine serum (FBS) that is typically used in cell culture processes. Here, we outline an effective screening process to vet the suitability of microbial lysates to support the growth of immortalized bovine satellite cells (iBSCs) and mackerel (Mack1) cells.

Therapeutic efficacy of intra-articular injection of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells in a sheep model of knee osteoarthritis.

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells have great potential for repairing articular cartilage and treating knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Nonetheless, little is known about the efficacy of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (haMSCs) for KOA in large animal models.

Methods: This study evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of haMSCs in knee articular cartilage repair in a sheep model of KOA.

AuNPs/GO/Pt microneedle electrochemical sensor for in situ monitoring of hydrogen peroxide in tomato stems in response to wounding stimulation.

Hydrogen peroxide (HO) is a critical signaling molecule with significant roles in various physiological processes in plants. Understanding its regulation through in situ monitoring could offer deeper insights into plant responses and stress mechanisms. In this study, we developed a microneedle electrochemical sensor to monitor HO in situ, offering deeper insights into plant stress responses.
