[Research Advances in the Treatment of Eltrombopag for Adult Patients with Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia--Review].

Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease characterized by thrombocytopenia, and T cell immune dysfunction plays an important role in the formation of ITP. As a thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO- RA), eltrombopag can not only directly stimulate megakaryocytes to produce platelets, but also play an immunomodulatory role by inducing regulatory T cell generation and reducing proinflammatory factors. As a second-line treatment drug for adult ITP, eltrombopag is increasingly widely used in clinical practice.

Molecular subtyping and the construction of a predictive model of colorectal cancer based on ion channel genes.

Purpose: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a highly heterogeneous malignancy with an unfavorable prognosis. The purpose of this study was to address the heterogeneity of CRC by categorizing it into ion channel subtypes, and to develop a predictive modeling based on ion channel genes to predict the survival and immunological states of patients with CRC. The model will provide guidance for personalized immunotherapy and drug treatment.

Zoledronic Acid Accelerates ER Stress-Mediated Inflammation by Increasing PDE4B Expression in Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw.

Long-term administration of bisphosphonates can lead to a significant side effect known as bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). Although macrophage-mediated inflammation has been established as an important factor in BRONJ, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. In the current study, the roles of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in zoledronic acid (ZOL)-induced inflammation were analyzed in macrophages, and the regulatory mechanism of ER stress activation was next investigated.

[Spatial differentiation and mechanism of carbon source/sink of forest swamps in riverside of Changbai Mountains, China].

To quantify the carbon source/sink function of riparian zone swamps and explore the feedback relationship with climate change, we measured the annual fluxes of soil greenhouse gas, soil carbon emission, net vegetation carbon sequestration and related environmental factors (temperature, water level, .) by static chamber-gas chromatography and relative growth equation methods in three kinds of forest swamps ( swamp, swamp, and swamp) distributed along the water reduction gradient of lowland to highland in the stream riparian zone of Changbai Mountains. The results showed that the annual fluxes of CH(0.

A newly synthesized flavone avoids COMT-catalyzed methylation and mitigates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in H9C2 cells via JNK and P38 pathways.

Objectives: Luteolin is a flavone that provides defense against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, this compound is subjected to methylation mediated by catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), thus influencing its pharmacological effect. To synthesize a new flavone from luteolin that avoids COMT-catalyzed methylation and find out the protective mechanism of LUA in myocardial I/R injury.

Variation of carbon source and sink along the environmental gradient from lakeside to highlands in Yuanchi swamp wetlands, Changbai Mountains, China.

Lacustrine wetlands have long-term carbon storage capacity and contribute significantly to regional carbon cycle, but it is unclear how its carbon sinks respond to climate change. We measured soil heterotrophic respiration carbon emissions (CO and CH), vegetation carbon sequestration, and related environmental factors (temperature, water level, .) of five kinds of natural swamps ( marsh-L, marsh-C, swamp-D, swamp-H, swamp-LT)by using static chamber gas chromatography and relative growth equation methods, along the water environmental gradients from lakeside to highlands in Yuanchi of Changbai Mountains.

Early prediction of treatment response can help patients choose a reasonable treatment plan. This study aimed to investigate the value of the radiomic-clinical model in predicting the efficacy of the first TACE treatment for HCC to prolong patient survival.

[Progress in intestinal adaptation after enterectomy].

Intestinal adaptation is a spontaneous compensation of the remanent bowel after extensive enterectomy, which improves the absorption capacity of the remanent bowel to energy, fluid and other nutrients. Intestinal adaptation mainly occurs within 2 years after enterectomy, including morphological changes, hyperfunction and hyperphagia. Intestinal adaptation is the key factor for patients with short bowel syndrome to weaning off parenteral nutrition dependence and mainly influenced by length of remanent bowel, type of surgery and colon continuity.
