Association Between Average Daily Activity Counts and Knee Osteoarthritis Progression.

Objective: To explore the relationship between daily activity counts and knee osteoarthritis (OA) progression.

Design: A cohort study using Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) data included 610 participants aged 45-79 years with knee OA or at risk. Daily activity counts were measured using ActiGraph GT1M accelerometers.

Identification and validation of the diagnostic biomarker MFAP5 for CAVD with type 2 diabetes by bioinformatics analysis.

Introduction: Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is increasingly prevalent among the aging population, and there is a notable lack of drug therapies. Consequently, identifying novel drug targets will be of utmost importance. Given that type 2 diabetes is an important risk factor for CAVD, we identified key genes associated with diabetes - related CAVD via various bioinformatics methods, which provide further potential molecular targets for CAVD with diabetes.

Amorphous-dominated MgO hollow spheres enhanced fluoride adsorption: Mechanism analysis and machine learning prediction.

Amorphous-dominated magnesium oxide hollow spheres (A-MgO) were prepared using a spray-drying method in this study. These hollow spheres exhibited excellent sphericity, large specific surface areas, and abundant porosity. A-MgO exhibited outstanding fluoride adsorption properties, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 260.

Mid-term outcomes of atrioventricular valve repair in functional single ventricle patients.

Background: Surgical treatment of functional single ventricle combined with atrioventricular valve regurgitation remains a clinical challenge. The outcomes of atrioventricular valve repair in patients with single ventricle are limited.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted of all 28 patients with functional single ventricle treated with single-ventricle palliation who underwent atrioventricular valve operation at the First Hospital of Tsinghua University between April 2007 and October 2022.

Metabolic reprogramming in lung cancer and its clinical implication.

Lung cancer has posed a significant challenge to global health, and related study has been a hot topic in oncology. This article focuses on metabolic reprogramming of lung cancer cells, a process to adapt to energy demands and biosynthetic needs, supporting the proliferation and development of tumor cells. In this study, the latest studies on lung cancer tumor metabolism were reviewed, including the impact of metabolic products and metabolic enzymes on the occurrence and development of lung cancer, as well as the progress in the field of lung cancer treatment targeting relevant metabolic pathways.
