Effects of aerobic exercise-based pulmonary rehabilitation on quality of life in pediatric asthma: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Pediatric asthma poses a significant global health burden, impacting the well-being and daily lives of affected children. Aerobic exercise-based pulmonary rehabilitation emerges as a promising intervention to address the multifaceted challenges faced by pediatric asthma patients.

Objectives: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to comprehensively evaluate the effects of aerobic exercise-based pulmonary rehabilitation on pulmonary function and quality of life in pediatric asthma patients.

Clinical characteristics and treatment of Marjolin's ulcer at a major burn center in northwest China: a retrospective review of 126 cases.

Objective: Marjolin's ulcer (MU) is a rare, aggressive skin tumor. There are numerous case reports but large long-term studies are lacking, necessitating further exploration of its treatment. This study aimed to summarize and analyze the characteristics, treatment methods, and prognosis of MU.

An Unsupervised Method for Industrial Image Anomaly Detection with Vision Transformer-Based Autoencoder.

Existing industrial image anomaly detection techniques predominantly utilize codecs based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). However, traditional convolutional autoencoders are limited to local features, struggling to assimilate global feature information. CNNs' generalizability enables the reconstruction of certain anomalous regions.

Elucidating Hedgehog pathway's role in HNSCC progression: insights from a 6-gene signature.

With the emergence of targeted inhibition strategies for Hedgehog signaling in cancer, multiple Hedgehog signaling pathway-related biomarkers have become the focus of research. SsGSEA algorithm was employed to analyze the Hedgehog pathway scores of samples in TCGA-HNSC dataset and divide them into two groups. Weighted co-expression network analysis was performed to identify modules strongly associated with the Hedgehog pathway.

Assessing disposable masks consumption and littering in the post COVID-19 pandemic in China.

Disposable masks associated with COVID-19 pandemic are one of the most thrown plastic garbage items in the environment, even three years later, and they need more than 450 years to completely decompose. Given their harm to the environment and the absence of monitoring efforts to quantify the consumption and improper disposal of disposable masks in China, we carried out a survey to assess the consumption and littering of disposable masks nationwide. Our objectives were to quantify the consumption and littering of disposable masks and estimate the plastic pollution caused by disposable masks in China.

When dispatcher assistance is not saving lives: assessment of process compliance, barriers and outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in a metropolitan city in China.

Background: Several Chinese cities have implemented dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DA-CPR), although out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival rates remain low. We aimed to assess the process compliance, barriers and outcomes of OHCA in one of the earliest implemented (DA-CPR) programmes in China.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed OHCA emergency dispatch records of Suzhou emergency medical service from 2014 to 2015 and included adult OHCA victims (>18 years) with a bystander-witnessed atraumatic OHCA that was subsequently confirmed by on-site emergency physician.

A Comparison of Spray-Drying and Freeze-Drying for the Production of Stable Silybin Nanosuspensions.

Spray-drying and freeze-drying are effective approaches to improve the long-term stability of nanosuspensions. This research explored the effect of spray-drying and freeze-drying techniques on PVP K30-stabilized silybin nanosuspensions. The morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM): The spray-dried sample was spherical, and the freeze-dried samples were rodlike with smooth surfaces.
