The potential role of SCF combined with DPCs in facial nerve repair.

Facial nerve injuries lead to significant functional impairments and psychological distress for affected patients. Effective repair of these injuries remains a challenge. For longer nerve gaps, the regeneration outcomes after nerve grafting remain suboptimal due to limited sources and postoperative immune responses.

Insect Cytochrome P450 Database: An Integrated Resource of Genetic Diversity, Evolution and Function.

Insects, the most numerous and diverse group of animal species on Earth, have important interactions with humans through providing resources, transmitting diseases and damaging agricultural cultivars. Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) are one of the most important protein families in insects implicated in the endogenous metabolism and detoxification of xenobiotics, including allelochemicals, insecticides and environmental pollutants. To better understand the evolution and function of insect P450s and support the development and application of insecticides for pest control, an integrated bioinformatics platform is highly desirable.

Trend analysis and cross nations inequality analysis of infectious skin diseases from 1990 to 2021.

The skin serves as a crucial barrier against microbial invasion, but breaches in this barrier can lead to infectious skin diseases (ISD). ISD, including bacterial (BSD), fungal (FSD) and viral Skin Disease (VSD), pose significant global health challenges. Age-standardized and age specific incidence, prevalence, and lived with disability (YLDs) data for ISD were sourced from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021) and demographic data from the United Nations.

Covalent organic frameworks for radioactive iodine capture: structure and functionality.

The adsorption of radioactive iodine is a critical concern in nuclear safety and environmental protection due to its hazardous nature and long half-life. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as promising materials for capturing radioactive iodine owing to their tunable porosity, high surface area, and versatile functionalization capabilities. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the application of COFs in the adsorption of radioactive iodine.

Knowledge of COVID-19 and the psychological status of parents: a retrospective survey in Wuhan, Hubei.

Objective: During the COVID-19 pandemic, many parents faced heightened stress, anxiety and depression due to the local and global COVID-19 mitigation measures and lockdowns.

Design: This is a cross-sectional study.

Setting: This study used stratified whole-cluster sampling to randomly select three elementary schools within Ezhou City.
