Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the link between maternal autoimmune diseases and the risk of hematological cancers in children, using data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance program.
- Researchers compared 2,172 children with blood cancers to a control group of those without, analyzing maternal health records to assess the impact of autoimmune conditions.
- Findings suggested that while overall risk increases slightly (odds ratio of 1.2), certain diseases like psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis showed a higher adjusted risk for hematological malignancies in offspring.
Objective: To analyze cerebellar atrophy in genetic epileptic encephalopathies (EEs).
Methods: This research included a retrospective cohort study conducted from January 2016 to December 2023 and a systematic review on cerebellar atrophy in genetic EEs. Pediatric individuals who were diagnosed with EEs based on electroclinical features, carried causative gene variants, and exhibited cerebellar atrophy were recruited.
Article Synopsis
- Adipocytes primarily store fatty acids, but they have a low synthesis rate, raising questions about the reason behind this.
- Excessive fatty acid synthesis in these cells can trigger necroptosis (a form of cell death) and lead to a condition called lipodystrophy, where there's an abnormal distribution of fat.
- The study identifies MED20 as a negative regulator of fatty acid synthesis and shows that reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) can improve metabolic issues in models of lipodystrophy, underscoring the role of ROS in these diseases.

To resolve the issue of scientific planning and rational layout of different vegetable greenhouses in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, we selected the days of low temperature in winter, sunshine hours, overcast days, extreme minimum temperature, days of monsoon disaster, days of snow cover in production season of greenhouse as the climate zoning indicators, based on ground-based observation data from 119 meteorological stations (1991 to 2020) and the growing demand of leafy and fruity vegetables in greenhouse, combined with the analysis of key meteorological factors in production season and the study of meteorological disaster indicators such as low temperature and cold damage, wind disaster, snow disaster. We analyzed the indices, classification and division of comprehensive climate suitability zoning of leafy and fruity vegetables at various slopes (35°, 40°) of solar greenhouse by the weighted sum method. The results showed that the climatic suitability zoning grades of leafy and fruity vegetables at 35° and 40° slope of greenhouse was highly consistent, and that the greenhouse climate suitability of leafy vegetables was higher than that of fruity vegetables in the same region.

Background: Gaertn stem (Hegeng [HG]) is a traditional Chinese medicine that is used to treat mental symptoms in East Asia. However, scientific evidence is generally lacking to support this traditional claim. .
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Huazhuo Jiedu Shugan decoction (HJSD), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has been used to treat epileptic seizures for many years. Some ingredients in these herbs have been demonstrated to be effective for the treatment of brain damage caused by epilepsy.
Aim Of The Study: The object of the study is to determine the effects of HJSD on cognitive and emotional disorders in a rat model of epilepsy.
