Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of clopidogrel-related gene polymorphisms on the occurrence of recurrent thrombotic events and cardiovascular death in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: We conducted genotype testing for 26 specific loci mapped to 18 clopidogrel-associated genes in ACS patients who had undergone PCI and were receiving dual antiplatelet therapy only involving clopidogrel. We documented major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and clinical endpoints, analyzing the effect of genetic polymorphisms on treatment outcomes.

Patient blood management (PBM) guidelines for patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) have increased during the past decade, and pharmacotherapy plays an important role in PBM. In the face of the undefined consistency in the methodologic quality and pharmacotherapy recommendations across multiple guidelines, this study exclusively evaluated methodologies of the related guideline development process, and compiled medication recommendations of PBM for cardiac surgery patients. PBM guidelines for cardiac surgery under CPB were searched through some mainstream literature and guideline databases from database establishment to May 15, 2023.

, a valuable medicinal plant, is threatened by ring rot, a condition that greatly affects its yield and quality. Interactions between plant and the rhizosphere soil microbiome in the context of pathogen invasion are generally more specific, with recruitment of specialized microbes potentially antagonistic to a certain pathogen. Isolation of microorganisms from rhizosphere soil of healthy and ring rot-infected was carried out to screen antifungal microbes.

Peanut stem rot caused by Sclerotium rolfsii is a serious soil-borne disease and poses a threat to the peanut production. The antibiotic fungicide tetramycin has a broad antifungal spectrum against multiple pathogens and possess low environmental risks. In current study, a total of 250 isolates collected from Huanghuai peanut-growing region of China (Henan, Shandong and Hebei Province) were used to establish the baseline sensitivity of S.

Epoxiconazole is an effective pesticide to control Fusarium head blight (FHB), and the application will increase. To investigate the ecotoxicity of epoxiconazole to soil microbiome, we carried out an indoor experiment in which soils from two main regions of wheat production in China (Nanjing and Anyang) were treated with epoxiconazole (0, 0.0625, 0.

This meta-analysis aims to screen the risk factors for severe illness and death and provide help for early clinical treatment of the new coronavirus (COVID-19). Based on a comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases, we included studies that explored the cause and risk factors for severe illness and death in COVID-19 patients. We evaluated the strength of this relationship using odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can lead to myocardial injury, and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has been found to play an important regulatory role in the process of myocardial injury. However, the role and potential mechanisms of lncRNA testis-specific transcript Y-linked 15 (TTTY15) in AMI-induced myocardial injury has not been fully elucidated. Hydrogen peroxide (HO)-induced AMI cell model was built and AMI mice model were constructed.

The behaviour of residues of tebuconazole, prochloraz, and abamectin in rehmannia during rehmannia decoction processing was systemically assessed. The pesticides were determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) after each processing step including washing, steaming and drying, carbonising, and boiling. Results showed that the pesticide residues significantly decreased after the steps of washing, carbonising, and boiling.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) are one of the deadliest forms of cancer, and 90% of its origin is from squamous cells. NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), an enzyme overexpressed in squamous cell carcinoma, plays an important role in proliferation and chemoresistance. The main aims were to study the inhibitory effect of ß-lapachone (ARQ761 in clinical form) in HNSCC and to study the combinational effect of 5-FU and ß-lap in improving the therapeutic efficacy in HNSCC.
