Background: Wound healing has always been a serious issue for doctors and primary health care systems. In addition, adipose stem cell-derived exosomes have been proven to play a positive and effective role in tissue repair and regeneration. A systematic review of these preclinical studies was performed to assess the efficacy of adipose stem cell-derived exosomes (ADSC-Exos) in treating wounds.

Three hundred and sixty 26-week-old Roman laying hens were randomly allocated into four experimental groups with 10 replicates of nine birds each. The four groups received either a basal diet (BD; Control), a BD supplemented with 0.

- Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are a major cause of health issues in young children, with this study focusing on comparing the effectiveness of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and oropharyngeal swabs (OPS) in detecting respiratory pathogens.
- 76 hospitalized children with respiratory illnesses were tested using both sample types for viruses and bacteria, revealing that both methods identified pathogens in a high percentage of cases, with BALF showing slightly better overall detection rates (81% vs. 69% for OPS).
- The findings suggest that while BALF may have a marginally higher detection rate, OPS is also a valuable tool for diagnosing respiratory infections in pediatric patients.
Objective: To investigate the clinical application value of the Mo-targeted X-ray examination, color Doppler ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis and preoperative comprehensive evaluation of breast cancer.
Methods: Among 170 breast cancer patients, they underwent Mo-targeted X-ray examination, color Doppler ultrasound and MRI before surgery to evaluate the lesions in breast, axillary lymph nodes and the availability of breast-conserving surgery.
Results: The detection rates using color Doppler ultrasound examination and MRI were higher than that in the Mo-targeted X-ray examination, which were 90%, 94% and 82%, respectively ( 0.

Objectives: More than 50% of congenital hearing loss is attributed to genetic factors. Data of gene mutation associated with hearing loss from large population studies in Chinese population are scarce. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive newborn genetic screening in China to establish the carrier frequency and mutation spectrum of deafness-associated genes.

This study aimed to use pharamcokinetic dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) for the early diagnosis of DCIS.
Methods: Forty-seven patients, including 25 with DCIS (age: 28-70 yr, mean age: 48.
Background: Lymphopenia occurs commonly in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and may influence treatment outcomes. We aimed to examine its association with treatment response and tumor progression in patients with locally advanced ESCC treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).
Materials And Methods: A total of 286 patients with stage II-IVa ESCC treated with CCRT between 2015 and 2017 were analyzed.
