Jujube (Ziziphus ujuba Mill.) holds great importance as a fruit tree in China, with strong tolerance to drought and saline stress, but its growth is limited by vulnerability to cold stress. Consequently, the role of MAPK cascades in mediating jujube cold stress response remains unclear, with the specific function of ZjMAPKK4 in this context yet to be fully elucidated.

While early-stage PCa is often manageable with conventional treatments, metastatic PCa is notoriously resistant, highlighting an urgent need for precise biomarkers and innovative therapeutic strategies. This review focuses on the dualistic roles of sirtuins, a family of NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases, dissecting their unique contributions to tumor suppression or progression in PCa depending on the cellular context.

The in situ side-to-side bypass technique represents an elegant revascularization option for these aneurysms when trapping becomes necessary.
Clinical Presentation: A man in his 50s presented for evaluation of an incidentally found fusiform, 10 mm, right MCA bifurcation aneurysm with involvement of both the inferior and superior M2 trunks.
: Alcohol-induced osteoporosis is a significant health concern, impairing bone formation and enhancing resorption, thereby weakening skeletal integrity. This study examines the effects of palm vitamin E on bone histomorphometry in a male rat model of alcohol-induced osteoporosis. : Three-month-old Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into seven groups, with one baseline control group (BC) and six experimental groups undergoing a two-phase treatment.

Objective: To compare complications and costs associated with endoscopic and open lumbar decompression on a large scale.
Background: Though open lumbar decompression is considered the gold standard, endoscopic procedures are on the rise.
Four organotin(IV) carboxylate complexes; (CH)SnL (), CHSnL (), (CH)SnL () and (CH)SnL () are synthesized by the condensation reaction of organotin(IV) chlorides with sodium-4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetate (). The FT-IR spectra suggested bridging/chelating bidentate coordination of the ligand to the tin atom. Single-crystal XRD analysis authenticated the FT-IR findings for and .

(Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) is the most destructive pest of stored grain commodities. To control the attack of this insect pest, it is important to develop non-hazardous alternatives to replace fumigants. This study examined the fumigant toxicity and repellent activity of seven essential oils (, , and ) against adult under controlled laboratory conditions.

Brachial artery pseudoaneurysms following acute penetrating trauma are rare, with even fewer cases presenting with associated median nerve complications. We present the case of a 41-year-old man who developed median nerve palsy secondary to a brachial artery pseudoaneurysm following a knife stab wound to his left cubital fossa.

Objective: This study outlined the development of the barriers, prescribing practices, and guideline adherence for osteoporosis management according to the Clinicians' Osteoporosis Questionnaire (COQ) followed by an assessment of the content validity index and reliability test.
Methods: The development of the COQ was performed in two stages. Stage I involved the development of the COQ, and stage II involved judgmental evidence and quantification of the questionnaire.
Background: Local wisdom food ingredients in North Sumatra, Indonesia, are a source of phenolics which have antioxidant, antihyperlipidemia, neuronal survival, and growth. Administering products with antioxidant properties can provide a supporting effect in preventing inflammation and neurodegenerative process.
Objective: The main objective of this study was to analyze the formulation of red palm oil ( Jacq), koja bay leaves ( L Spreng), and passion fruit seeds ( Sims) to improve lipid profile, antioxidant activity, Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), and lipase enzyme activity of Sprague-Dawley rats.
