Relationship between oxidative balance score and all-cause mortality in hypertension.

Introduction: Exploring the association between oxidative balance score (OBS) and all-cause mortality in hypertension (HTN).

Methods: Data for HTN patients from 2007 to 2018 were extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). OBS offers a thorough evaluation of an individual's redox status, with higher score indicates favorable oxidative homeostasis.

Femoral neck system (FNS) versus 4 cannulated compression screws (CCSs) in the treatment of young patients with Pauwels type III femoral neck fracture: a retrospective comparative study.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the femoral neck system (FNS) compared to four cannulated compression screws (CCSs) for managing Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures in young patients.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on young patients with Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures treated at our hospital from January 2021 to December 2022. Patients were categorized into two groups based on their respective internal fixation methods: the FNS group (32 cases) and the CCSs group (41 cases).

Single-port non-lipolytic endoscopic surgery via the axillary approach for the treatment of benign breast tumors has better clinical outcomes: a case control study.

Background: Endoscopic surgery provides good cosmetic results while ensuring therapeutic outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and cosmetic outcome of endoscopic surgery for benign breast tumors.

Methods: In total, 108 patients were enrolled and divided into endoscopic or open surgery groups based on the patients' voluntary decisions.

Comprehensive genomic and transcriptomic analyses of the anaerobic degradation of microcystin in Alcaligenes faecalis D04.

Microcystin LR (MC-LR) pollution is a serious threat to aquatic ecosystems and public health in China and is an environmental problem that urgently needs to be solved. However, few studies have investigated the anaerobic degradation pathway and related molecular biological mechanisms of MC-LR. In this study, a bacterium capable of degrading MC-LR with a degradation efficiency of 0.
