MIB-ANet: A novel multi-scale deep network for nasal endoscopy-based adenoid hypertrophy grading.

Introduction: To develop a novel deep learning model to automatically grade adenoid hypertrophy, based on nasal endoscopy, and asses its performance with that of E.N.T.

Migrasomes: From Biogenesis, Release, Uptake, Rupture to Homeostasis and Diseases.

Migrasomes are migration-dependent membrane-bound vesicular structures that contain cellular contents and small vesicles. Migrasomes grow on the tips or intersections of the retraction fibers after cells migrate away. The process of releasing migrasomes into the extracellular space is named as "migracytosis".

Noble Gases Therapy in Cardiocerebrovascular Diseases: The Novel Stars?

Cardiocerebrovascular diseases (CCVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide; therefore, to deeply explore the pathogenesis of CCVDs and to find the cheap and efficient strategies to prevent and treat CCVDs, these are of great clinical and social significance. The discovery of nitric oxide (NO), as one of the endothelium-derived relaxing factors and its successful utilization in clinical practice for CCVDs, provides new ideas for us to develop drugs for CCVDs: "gas medicine" or "medical gases." The endogenous gas molecules such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (HS), sulfur dioxide (SO), methane (CH), and hydrogen (H) have essential biological effects on modulating cardiocerebrovascular homeostasis and CCVDs.

Hydrogen gas alleviates acute alcohol-induced liver injury by inhibiting JNK activation.

Binge alcohol drinking is fast becoming a global health concern, with the liver among the first organ involved and the one afflicted with the greatest degree of injury. Oxidative stress, alterations in hepatic metabolism, immunity and inflammation have all been reported to contribute to the development of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Hydrogen gas (H) serves a key role in the modulation of hepatic redox, immune and inflammatory homeostasis.

Si-Wu-Tang Alleviates Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease via Blocking TLR4-JNK and Caspase-8-GSDMD Signaling Pathways.

Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has high global prevalence; however, the treatments of NAFLD are limited due to lack of approved drugs.

Methods: Mice were randomly assigned into three groups: Control group, NAFLD group, NAFLD plus Si-Wu-Tang group. A NAFLD mice model was established by feeding with a methionine- and choline-deficient (MCD) diet for four weeks.

The Association Between the Development of Radiation Therapy, Image Technology, and Chemotherapy, and the Survival of Patients With Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Cohort Study From 1990 to 2012.

Purpose: Previous studies demonstrated that the radiation therapy, image technology, and the application of chemotherapy have developed in the last 2 decades. This study explored the survival trends and treatment failure patterns of patients with nonmetastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with radiation therapy. Furthermore, we evaluated the survival benefit brought by the development of radiation therapy, image technology, and chemotherapy based on a large cohort from 1990 to 2012.
