The agricultural pest exhibits a strong preference for feeding on fresh fruits, demonstrating high adaptability to sugary environments. Meanwhile, high sugar levels stimulate insulin secretion, thereby regulating the steady state of sugar metabolism. Understanding the mechanisms related to sugar metabolism in is crucial due to its adaptation to these specific environmental conditions.

- The review assesses the effectiveness of intraosseous (IO) access compared to intravenous (IV) access during resuscitation, focusing on existing systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
- Using established guidelines, the research identified and evaluated four relevant studies, noting that while these studies had strong methodological quality, their evidence levels varied significantly.
- Findings were inconsistent, with some studies linking IO access to worse outcomes and others showing no notable difference from IV access, highlighting the need for further rigorous research to clarify these effects and inform clinical practices.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides continuous extracorporeal respiratory and circulatory support for patients with severe heart and lung failure, in order to maintain their lives. Currently, ECMO is an advanced organ support technology and its application in the clinical field of critical care is becoming increasingly common. When ECMO is implemented via percutaneous cannulation at the bilateral femoral artery and vein, the traditional patient pants cannot be used, which leads to exposure of privacy, easy catching of cold, and easy contamination of bed sheets and covers during defecation, making the patient uncomfortable and increasing the risk of infection.

Patient vulnerability in this setting can significantly impact outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate the vulnerability status and to determine associated affect factors among prehospital emergency patients in China.

Methods: This multicenter descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with emergency nurses from 48 tertiary hospitals in Henan Province of China between September 7, 2022-September 27, 2022. Data were collected through a self-designeds online questionnaire using the mainland China version of the Disaster Preparedness Evaluation Tool (DPET-MC).
Article Synopsis
- Cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) contribute to cardiac fibrosis, and the study investigates the effects of betulinic acid (BA) on CFs exposed to high glucose, which can induce fibrosis.
- The research showed that pre-treatment with BA reduced CF proliferation and inhibited myofibroblast differentiation, as well as the expression of extracellular matrix components triggered by high glucose.
- BA appears to work by blocking the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway involved in CF responses, suggesting it could be a potential treatment for cardiac fibrosis.
