Objective: This study aimed to investigate the role of transmembrane emp24 domain-containing protein 2 (TMED2) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Methodology: A bioinformatics analysis was first conducted to explore TMED2 expression in OSCC and its relation with overall survival. The analysis results were further verified by assessing TMED2 expression levels in human normal oral keratinocyte cells and human OSCC cell lines using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and the Western blot.

With the widespread prevalence of COVID-19, researchers have suggested a potential link between androgens and COVID-19 outcomes. However, the relationship between COVID-19 and androgenetic alopecia (AGA)-a condition strongly influenced by androgens-remains controversial in existing studies. Notably, there is a lack of large-scale clinical studies, particularly concerning data on the Chinese population after infection with the Omicron variant.

Acetaminophen (APAP) is a widely used analgesic and antipyretic medicine. It is frequently employed to alleviate pain and mitigate fever-related symptoms, but it can cause liver injury or even liver failure when overdosed. Isorhapontigenin, a compound derived from Chinese herbs and grapes, has been demonstrated to exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19) is one of the most serious respiratory pandemic diseases threatening human health for centuries. Alopecia areata (AA) is a sudden patchy hair loss, an autoimmune disease, which seriously affects the image and mental health of patients. Evidence shows that the risk of autoimmune diseases significantly increases after COVID-19, and is positively correlated with the severity, with a significant increase in the risk of alopecia in those over 40 years old.

Huanglian Jiedu Decoction (HJD) is a well-known Traditional Chinese Medicine formula that has been used for liver protection in thousands of years. However, the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of HJD in treating drug-induced liver injury (DILI) remain unknown. In this study, a total of 26 genes related to both HJD and DILI were identified, which are corresponding to a total of 41 potential active compounds in HJD.

Background: Metachronous carcinoma presenting as a cardiac malignancy is rare, and timely diagnosis is critical. We report a patient with a primary cardiac tumor who eventually died and performed an imaging-related literature review.

Case Presentation: A 68-year-old Chinese male patient, who had suffered from multiple malignancies, was suddenly found to have severely reduced platelets and symptoms of decreased cardiac function.

Linear scleroderma en coup de sabre (LSCS) is a variant of localized scleroderma associated with band-like fibrotic lesions in the frontoparietal area. We report a case of LSCS in a woman who presented with progressive mild hyperchromia on the right side of her forehead, with dermal atrophy and hair and eyebrow loss. After the failure of conservative treatments, the patient responded dramatically to injection of autologous localized concentrated growth factor.

Objective: To explore the mechanism of Shaoyao Gancao decoction (SGD) in treatment of alopecia areata (AA) by network pharmacology and animal experiments.

Methods: Based on the traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform (TCMSP), the components and targets of SGD were determined. Then, the related targets of AA were retrieved from DrugBank, GeneCards, OMIM, and DisGeNET databases.

Background: Mutation in the lipase H (LIPH) gene is a main reason for autosomal recessive woolly hair (ARWH)/hypotrichosis. Although some studies reported that topical minoxidil could improve ARWH, an effective treatment method for this disease is still lacking.

Aim: We attempt to explore potential treatment options for ARWH.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between limb artery indices (brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity and ankle-brachial index), endothelial function index (FMD value), and the degree of coronary artery stenosis in diabetic patients and analyze their values in predicting the degree of coronary artery stenosis.

Methods: The study included 151 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and suspected coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. The patients were divided into "coronary atherosclerotic heart disease" (N=94) and "non-coronary atherosclerotic heart disease" (N=57) groups based on the coronary angiographic findings.
