A burgeoning body of epidemiological and toxicological evidence suggests that thyroid health may be significantly impacted by exposure to both long- and short-chain perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) compounds. We conducted a meta-analysis to examine the association between 16 PFAS compounds and five thyroid hormones (TSH, TT3, TT4, FT3, and FT4) in the serum of a pregnant women, adolescents, and adults. The dose-response relationship between some PFAS and thyroid hormones in different population subpopulation was found and the model was fitted.

Background: Burn injuries with ≥70% total body surface area (TBSA) are especially acute and life-threatening, leading to severe complications and terrible prognosis, while a powerful model for the prediction of overall survival (OS) is lacking. The objective of this study is to identify prognostic factors for the OS of patients with burn injury ≥70% TBSA and construct and validate a feasible predictive model.

Materials And Methods: Patients diagnosed with burns ≥70% TBSA admitted and treated between 2010 and 2020 in our hospital were included.

Owing to its constant exposure to the external environment and various stimuli, skin ranks among the organs most vulnerable to manifestations of aging. Preventing and delaying skin aging has become one of the prominent research subjects in recent years. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells derived from mesoderm with high self-renewal ability and multilineage differentiation potential.

Androgenic alopecia (AGA) is a highly prevalent form of non-scarring alopecia but lacks effective treatments. Stem cell exosomes have similar repair effects to stem cells, suffer from the drawbacks of high cost and low yield yet. Cell-derived nanovesicles acquired through mechanical extrusion exhibit favorable biomimetic properties similar to exosomes, enabling them to efficiently encapsulate substantial quantities of therapeutic proteins.

Exploring the preparation of multifunctional hydrogels from a bionic perspective is an appealing strategy. Here, a multifunctional hydrogel dressing inspired by the characteristics of porous extracellular matrix produced during Acomys wound healing is prepared. These dressings are printed by digital light processing printing of hydrogels composed of gelatin methacrylate, hyaluronic acid methacrylate, and pretreated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to shape out triply periodic minimal surface structures, which are freeze-dried for long-term storage.

Alopecia areata (AA) is a complex genetic disease that results in hair loss due to an autoimmune-mediated attack on the hair follicle. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have great potential to induce hair regeneration due to their strong secretion ability and multidirectional differentiation. Recent studies have revealed that the therapeutic potential of MSCs comes from their secretion ability, which can produce large amounts of bioactive substances and regulate the key physiological functions of subjects.

Background: China is one of the countries that set the goal to eliminate mother-to-child transmission (EMTCT) of syphilis by a target date. Active screening for syphilis among pregnant women, followed by effective treatment of maternal syphilis, is critical for achieving the goal. The China health authority issued national implementation protocols to guide EMTCT practice in health facilities.

Objectives: Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune-related non-cicatricial alopecia, with complete alopecia (AT) or generalized alopecia (AU) as severe forms of AA. However, there are limitations in early identification of AA, and intervention of AA patients who may progress to severe AA will help to improve the incidence rate and prognosis of severe AA.

Methods: We obtained two AA-related datasets from the gene expression omnibus database, identified the differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and identified the module genes most related to severe AA through weighted gene co-expression network analysis.

  • This study investigated the psychosocial factors influencing physical activity levels in patients with coronary heart disease, using a combined framework of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and temporal self-regulation theory (TST).
  • Conducted with 279 CHD patients in China, the study collected data on various psychological constructs before discharge and followed up a week later to assess physical activity levels.
  • Findings showed only 39.8% met physical activity guidelines, with factors like attitude, perceived behavioral control, and consideration of future consequences positively influencing intentions to exercise, while self-control negatively impacted the relationship between intentions and actual physical activity.

The dermal papilla cells in hair follicles function as critical regulators of hair growth. In particular, alopecia areata (AA) is closely related to the malfunctioning of the human dermal papilla cells (hDPCs). Thus, identifying the regulatory mechanism of hDPCs is important in inducing hair follicle (HF) regeneration in AA patients.

Autologous fat grafting has been widely used in plastic surgery in recent years, but the unstable retention of fat graft has always been a key clinical problem. Adipose tissue has poor tolerant to ischemia, so the transplanted adipose tissue needs to rebuild blood supply at an early stage in order to survive stably. Our previous study has found that comparing to human foreskin fibroblast exosome (HFF-Exo), human adipose-derived stem cells exosome (hADSC-Exo) can significantly improve the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells and the angiogenic effect of artificial dermal preconstructed flaps.

A better understanding of the molecular regulation of wound healing may provide novel therapeutic targets. A previous study revealed that junctional adhesion molecule A (JAM-A)-modified mesenchymal stem cells promoted wound healing. However, whether direct JAM-A modification in the skin wound edge area accelerates the wound repair process is not clear.

Background: Negative regulatory T cells (Tregs) not only deplete effector T cells but also inhibit the clearance of HIV during infection, which may allow Tregs to be used as informative diagnostic markers. To facilitate both diagnosis and treatment, a thorough understanding of these regulators by characterizing them on temporal and spatial scales is strongly required.

Methods: Hundred HIV-infected/AIDS patients, including 87 males, with an average age of 35.
