Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as pivotal regulators of cancer pathogenesis, influencing various cellular processes and contributing to tumorigenesis. Sphingolipid metabolism has garnered interest as a potential target for cancer therapy owing to its considerable diagnostic and prognostic value. Recent studies have demonstrated that lncRNAs regulate tumor-associated metabolic reprogramming via sphingolipid metabolism.

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a common and frequently-occurring disease. Looking at the efficacy evaluation of the diagnosis and treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss at home and abroad, each country has its own characteristics in the indicators and criteria of the treatment efficacy evaluation, and the common indicators of efficacy evaluation include: average pure-tone hearing threshold, the absolute value of hearing improvement of impaired frequency, the percentage of average pure-tone hearing threshold increase, speech discrimination score, speech recognition threshold, etc. The evaluation criteria mostly take the efficacy grade or the improvement level of average hearing threshold as the criterion of effective treatment, and the lack of unified standards is not conducive to the homogenization of global research related to sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

Background: EYA4 variants are responsible for DFNA10 deafness. Due to its insidious onset and slow progression, hearing loss in autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss (ADNSHL) is usually challenging to detect early in clinical settings, with limited intervention options. Genetic testing can aid in early detection of hearing loss, enabling timely intervention to reduce disability rates and improve the quality of life.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to investigate the clinical features and management of sudden hearing loss (HL) in pregnant women to improve clinical practices.
  • - Researchers analyzed data from 17 pregnant women with sudden HL and compared it to 12 nonpregnant women with similar conditions, finding that pregnant patients had better hearing recovery.
  • - The findings suggest that while sudden HL in pregnancy is serious, the prognosis is more favorable than in nonpregnant patients, with some showing spontaneous improvement after treatment and a notable difference in inflammatory and coagulation indicators between the two groups.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between morphological typing and monoclonality of bone marrow plasma cells, and explore the diagnostic value of plasma cell morphological typing for high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma(HR-SMM).

Methods: The correlation between the morphological characteristics and the monoclonality of bone marrow plasma cells was analyzed in 84 patients with HR-SMM who treated in our hospital. The consistency of morphologically abnormal bone marrow plasma cells with serum free light chain (sFLC) ratio, next-generation sequencing (NGS) detection results, and its correlation with monoclonal plasma cells detected by flow cytometry (FCM) were further verified.

As the contribution of mutations (DNMs) to human genetic diseases has been gradually uncovered, analyzing the global research landscape over the past 20 years is essential. Because of the large and rapidly increasing number of publications in this field, understanding the current landscape of the contribution of DNMs in the human genome to genetic diseases remains a challenge. Bibliometric analysis provides an approach for visualizing these studies using information in published records in a specific field.

Noise-induced hearing loss(NIHL) is an acquired sensorineural hearing loss induced by long-term noise exposure. The susceptibility of exposed people may vary even in the same noise environment. With the development of sequencing techniques, genes related to oxidative stress, immunoinflammatory, ion homeostasis, energy metabolism, DNA damage repair and other mechanisms in NIHL have been reported continuously.

This experiment aimed to study the effect of 1% Artemisia annua added to the diet on growth performance, antioxidant capacity, immunity and intestinal morphology, and gut microbiota of geese. Seventy-two 35-day-old male geese (Zi goose) with similar body weight were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups. Each treatment group of 36 geese was divided into 6 subgroups, each having 6 male geese.

Auditory neuropathy (AN) is a unique type of language developmental disorder, with no precise rate of genetic contribution that has been deciphered in a large cohort. In a retrospective cohort of 311 patients with AN, pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants of 23 genes were identified in 98 patients (31.5% in 311 patients), and 14 genes were mutated in two or more patients.

Mutations in AIFM1, encoding for apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), cause AUNX1, an X-linked neurologic disorder with late-onset auditory neuropathy (AN) and peripheral neuropathy. Despite significant research on AIF, there are limited animal models with the disrupted AIFM1 representing the corresponding phenotype of human AUNX1, characterized by late-onset hearing loss and impaired auditory pathways. Here, we generated an Aifm1 p.

CAPOS syndrome is an autosomal dominant neurological disorder caused by mutations in the gene. Initial symptoms, often fever-induced, include recurrent acute ataxic encephalopathy in childhood, featuring cerebellar ataxia, optic atrophy, areflflexia, sensorineural hearing loss, and in some cases, pes cavus. This report details a case of CAPOS syndrome resulting from a maternal gene mutation.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NADH) in its reduced form of is a key coenzyme in redox reactions, essential for maintaining energy homeostasis.NADH and its oxidized counterpart, NAD+, form a redox couple that regulates various biological processes, including calcium homeostasis, synaptic plasticity, anti-apoptosis, and gene expression. The reduction of NAD+/NADH levels is closely linked to mitochondrial dysfunction, which plays a pivotal role in the cascade of various neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.
