TMCO1-deficient mice exhibit a high incidence of otitis media associated with impaired bone homeostasis in the middle ear.

Craniofacial dysmorphism, skeletal anomalies and impaired intellectual development syndrome" (CFSMR1; OMIM#213980) is characterized by craniofacial dysmorphism, skeletal anomalies, and mental retardation. However, reports of hearing issues have been limited. To investigate hearing-related aspects of CFSMR1, Tmco1 knockout mice (Tmco1) exhibiting similar symptoms to human patients were utilized in this study.

An efficient co-culture of and for phenol degradation under high salt conditions.

Phenol is one of the major organic pollutants in high salt industrial wastewater. The biological treatment method is considered to be a cost-effective and eco-friendly method, in which the co-culture of microalgae and bacteria shows a number of advantages. In the previous study, a co-culture system featuring () and () was established and could degrade 400 mg L phenol at 3% NaCl concentration.

Research on the mechanism of core acupoints in electroacupuncture for functional constipation based on data mining and network acupuncture.

Aim: Functional Constipation (FC) is a common gastrointestinal disorder that imposes a considerable strain on global health. It negatively impacts the quality of life and results in significant healthcare expenditures. Current treatments, such as lifestyle changes and medications, fail to meet patient satisfaction due to efficacy and safety issues.

[Antibiotic Pollution Level and Ecological Risk Assessment of Township Wastewater Treatment Plants].

Due to the abuse of antibiotics, a large amount of antibiotics has been entering wastewater treatment plants （WWTPs）, but the pollution of antibiotics in township WWTPs has not attracted much attention. To understand the contamination level and removal characteristics, and the risks to aquatic organisms and human health, samples collected from the inlet and outlet of 15 township WWTPs were investigated. The results showed that tetracyclines （TCs） had the highest concentration in the inlet and outlet waters, in which the concentrations of TC and oxytetracycline （OTC） reached （4 943.

Sarcopenia and risk of postoperative pneumonia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Identifying patients at risk for postoperative pneumonia and preventing it in advance is crucial for improving the prognoses of patients undergoing surgery. This review aimed to interpret the predictive value of sarcopenia on postoperative pneumonia.

Methods: Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Embase, Medline, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched from inception to August 2nd, 2023 to retrieve eligible studies.
