Background: There is no consensus on whether adductor canal block (ACB) combined with infiltration between the popliteal artery and capsule of the posterior knee (IPACK) block can further increase analgesia and reduce opioid consumption after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) compared with ACB and periarticular infiltration analgesia (PIA).

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining ACB and PACK block on analgesia and functional recovery following TKA.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 386 patients who underwent primary unilateral TKA at our institution from January 2020 to October 2022.

Background: Triglyceride glucose (TyG) index has been proposed as a credible and simple surrogate indicator for insulin resistance. The primary aim of this study was to novelly examine the associations between dietary patterns reflecting variations in circulating TyG index and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: This study included 120,988 participants from the UK Biobank, all of whom completed multiple 24-h dietary assessments.

Background: Sarcomas (SARC) are a diverse group of malignant tumors originating from mesenchymal tissues, characterized by poor prognosis under conventional therapies. CX3CR1, a chemokine receptor involved in immune cell migration, has emerged as a key player in SARC. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination critically modulate CX3CR1, influencing cancer progression, immune responses, and treatment resistance.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), a formidable challenge in oncology, demands innovative biomarkers and therapeutic targets. This research highlights the importance of the circular RNA (circRNA) circPCSK6 and its peptide derivative circPCSK6-167aa in ICC. CircPCSK6 is significantly downregulated in both ICC patients and mouse primary ICC models, and its lower expression is linked to adverse prognosis, highlighting its pivotal role in ICC pathogenesis.
