Ferritinophagy: A new idea for liver diseases regulated by ferroptosis.

Background: The discovery of regulatory cell death has led to a breakthrough in the therapeutic field. Various forms of cell death, such as necrosis, apoptosis, pyroptosis, autophagy, and ferroptosis, play an important role in the development of liver diseases. In general, more than one form of cell death pathways is responsible for the disease state.

Protective effect of rhodioloside and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells infected with HIF-1-expressing adenovirus on acute spinal cord injury.

Rhodioloside has been shown to protect cells from hypoxia injury, and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have a good effect on tissue repair. To study the effects of rhodioloside and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on spinal cord injury, a rat model of spinal cord injury was established using the Infinite Horizons method. After establishing the model, the rats were randomly divided into five groups.

A meta-analysis of the effects of probiotics and synbiotics in children with acute diarrhea.

Objective: This meta-analysis assessed the effectiveness of probiotics and synbiotics for acute diarrhea (AD) in children and investigated probiotic formulations, types of interventions, and country factors.

Methods: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials evaluating the effects of probiotics or synbiotics on AD were analyzed. We followed the recommendations of the Cochrane Handbook and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement.

Exosomal miRNAs as Biomarkers of Cancer: a Meta-Analysis.

Background: Tumor-derived exosomal miRNAs secreted by cancer cells play significant roles in the pathological processes of cancer, but no systematic meta-analysis has focused on the diagnostic efficiency of exosomal miRNAs. This meta-analysis assessed the diagnostic value of circulating exosomal miRNA in cancer.

Methods: Studies evaluating the diagnostic value of exosomal miRNA were identified in EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science up to August 1, 2018.
