Background: Breast cancer (BC) poses a significant global health challenge, with chemotherapy resistance, especially to docetaxel, remaining a major obstacle in effective treatment. The molecular mechanisms underlying this resistance are critical for developing targeted therapeutic strategies.

Objective: This study aims to explore the role of dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase 2 (DYRK2), a member of the DYRK family, in docetaxel resistance in breast cancer cells and investigate its impact on cellular responses, including drug sensitivity and migration.

Halide superionic conductors (SICs) are drawing significant research attention for their potential applications in all-solid-state batteries. A key challenge in developing such SICs is to explore and design halide structural frameworks that enable rapid ion movement. In this work, we show that the close-packed anion frameworks shared by traditional halide ionic conductors face intrinsic limitations in fast ion conduction, regardless of structural regulation.

Background: Vonoprazan-amoxicillin (VA) dual therapy has recently been proposed to eradicate Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) with controversial results. We, therefore, conducted a meta-analysis to assess the effect of this therapy for H.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent studies have explored the link between atrial fibrillation (AF) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), but findings have been mixed and inconclusive.
  • A meta-analysis included 13 cohort studies totaling over 14 million participants, revealing a significant association between NAFLD and a higher risk of AF, while MAFLD showed no such link.
  • The study concludes that NAFLD may lead to an increased risk of AF, especially in certain populations, but more research is needed to clarify the relationship and consider various influencing factors.

Background And Objective: Numerous observational studies have been conducted to investigate the potential association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and prostate cancer (PCa). However, a definitive conclusion has yet to be established. We therefore performed a meta-analysis to explore the relationship between these two conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent studies have shown mixed results regarding the link between a specific infection and pancreatic cancer, prompting a systematic review and meta-analysis to clarify the association.
  • The analysis included 20 observational studies with over 67,000 participants, concluding there was no significant connection between the infection and the risk of developing pancreatic cancer.
  • The authors recommend further high-quality, diverse studies to explore this controversial topic more thoroughly.

Article Synopsis
  • A meta-analysis was conducted to compare the effectiveness of high-dose dual therapy (HDDT) versus bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (BQT) for the eradication of a specific infection.
  • The study analyzed data from 14 randomized controlled trials involving 5,121 patients, finding no significant difference in eradication rates between HDDT and BQT.
  • HDDT showed a significantly lower rate of adverse effects compared to BQT, indicating it is not only as effective but also safer for patients with similar levels of compliance.

The central circadian clock and feeding rhythm coordinately reset peripheral circadian clocks. Emerging evidence suggests that feeding rhythm resets peripheral circadian clocks in a tissue-specific manner. This study aimed to determine whether and how feeding rhythm regulates circadian rhythms of the circadian clock and metabolic genes in brown adipose tissue (BAT).

Background: Functional constipation (FCon), is a symptom-based functional gastrointestinal disorder without an organic etiology and altering brain structure and function. However, previous studies mainly focused on isolated brain regions involved in brain plasticity. Therefore, little is known about the altered large-scale interaction of brain networks in FCon.

To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Yangwei Granules combined with conventional Western medicine for chronic gastritis. CNKI, SinoMed, WanFang, VIP, PubMed, Cochrane Library and EMbase database were electronically retrieved to collect randomized controlled trial(RCT) of Yangwei Granules combined with conventional Western medicine for chronic gastritis. Two reviewers independently screened out literatures according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and extracted data, and evaluated the risk of bias of included studies.

Objective: To test the effects and to identify appropriate dosage and possible mechanisms of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) in treating MPC-11 myeloma in the BALB/c murine models.

Methods: A total of 420 BALB/c mice were divided into five groups. 410 of which were injected with 10(4) MPC-11 cells.

This study was purposed to establish a multiple myeloma local tumor model in the BLAB/c mice. Healthy BLAB/c mice were injected subcutaneously with 6 x 10(5) MPC-11 cells. In the peak time of the subcutaneous nodules observed, five mice were randomized selected to be executed and the subcutaneous nodules of these mice executed were used to detect the CD138 and kappa light chain by means of HE staining and the immunohistochemistry methods.
