Characteristics of the effects of Polygonati Rhizoma on gut microbiota and metabolites in vitro associated with poor dietary habits in pregnant women.

Poor dietary habits have been associated with dysbiosis and microbial imbalance in pregnant women. Such imbalances can pose health risks during pregnancy. This study aimed to explore the impact of Polygonati Rhizoma on the gut microbiota of pregnant women through In vitro simulated fermentation.

Schlafen5, regulated by the AP-1 family transcription factor c-Fos, affects diabetic wound healing through modulating PI3K/Akt/NRF2 axis.

Diabetic ulcers (DUs) present significant physical and psychological challenges to patients, while placing a significant economic burden on healthcare systems. Promoting the blood vessel regeneration is critical for ensuring the delivery of essential nutrients and oxygen to the injured area, thereby supporting the healing process. To gain insight into the complex molecular mechanisms that drive DUs healing, we performed a comprehensive analysis of single-cell transcriptomic data from healing and non-healing DU states.

Dynamic change of procalcitonin, rather than concentration itself, is predictive of survival in septic shock patients when beyond 10 ng/mL.

Procalcitonin (PCT) concentration of greater than 10 ng/mL is compatible for septic shock. Its predictive value for survival is not well established, mainly because of much overlap and variation of PCT in this condition. We hypothesized that dynamic change of PCT, rather than PCT itself, is predictive of hospital survival when greater than 10 ng/mL.
