Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of safflower yellow (SY) combined with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after orthopedic surgery.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive investigation of PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang databases to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from January 2000 to March 2024. These trials compared the efficacy of SY combined with LMWH versus LMWH alone in preventing post-surgical DVT.

Unlabelled: In China, Osteoking is a commonly used treatment and preventive measure for osteoporosis. The pathophysiology of osteoporosis is closely associated with apoptosis; however, it remains unclear whether the role of Osteoking in promoting bone formation is linked to apoptosis.

Aim Of Study: This study aims to investigate whether Osteoking inhibits apoptosis of BMSCs in osteoporotic rats via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and to conduct a detailed exploration of this mechanism.

The feasibility of utilizing a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD)/sulfite-ultrafiltration system was investigated in various real water bodies, aiming to clarify the mechanism behind alleviating membrane fouling while synchronously degrading perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) during the treatment process of Yangtze River water. The results demonstrated that the DBD/sulfite pretreatment exhibited remarkable rates of membrane flux mitigation (>84.10 %) and efficient degradation rates of PFOA (>85.

Article Synopsis
  • * Current treatments for MDS focus on demethylating agents like azacitidine and decitabine, which can improve survival, but hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only method that provides a potential cure.
  • * Despite the benefits of HSCT, there are significant challenges post-transplant, including treatment-related toxicity and the risk of complications like graft-versus-host disease and relapse, highlighting the need for continued research and improvement in treatment approaches.

Background: This meta-analysis seeks to assess the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab in individuals with advanced or recurrent cervical cancer.

Methods: Databases from PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were all thoroughly searched for pertinent research. Outcomes include complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), disease progression (PD), overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), median progression-free survival (mPFS), median overall survival (mOS), and adverse events (AEs) were retrieved for further analysis.

The study aimed to evaluate the impact of varying modulus of elasticity (MOE) values of dental implants on the deformation and von Mises stress distribution in implant systems and peri-implant bone tissues under dynamic cyclic loading. The implant-bone interface was characterised as frictional contact, and the initial stress was induced using the interference fit method to effectively develop a finite element model for an immediately loaded implant-supported denture. Using the Ansys Workbench 2021 R2 software, an analysis was conducted to examine the deformation and von Mises stress experienced by the implant-supported dentures, peri-implant bone tissue, and implants under dynamic loading across three simulated masticatory cycles.

Article Synopsis
  • The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is essential for maintaining eye health, and its dysfunction can result in severe conditions like age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
  • While there have been advances in treating the neovascular form of AMD, effective therapies for the atrophic form are still lacking due to limited understanding of RPE pathology.
  • This study identified the protein CPXM2 as uniquely expressed in RPE cells affected by atrophic AMD, suggesting it may be linked to oxidative stress and could serve as a potential target for new treatments.

Objective: Low back pain is one of the main causes of disability in the world. Although regenerative medicine may represent breakthroughs in the management of low back pain, its use remains controversial. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the clinical efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection therapy versus different control groups for chronic low back pain during 4 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months.

Background: Patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) experience a high incidence of progression to heart failure (HF) despite current therapies. We speculated that steroid hormone metabolic disorders distinct adverse phenotypes and contribute to HF.

Methods: We measured 18 steroids using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry in 2023 patients from the Registry Study of Biomarkers in Ischemic Heart Disease (BIOMS-IHD), including 1091 patients with IHD in a retrospective discovery set and 932 patients with IHD in a multicentre validation set.

In this paper, we present the results of the MitoEM challenge on mitochondria 3D instance segmentation from electron microscopy images, organized in conjunction with the IEEE-ISBI 2021 conference. Our benchmark dataset consists of two large-scale 3D volumes, one from human and one from rat cortex tissue, which are 1,986 times larger than previously used datasets. At the time of paper submission, 257 participants had registered for the challenge, 14 teams had submitted their results, and six teams participated in the challenge workshop.

Retinal development is initiated by multipotent retinal progenitor cells, which undergo several rounds of cell divisions and subsequently terminal differentiation. Retinal regeneration is usually considered as the recapitulation of retinal development, which share common mechanisms underlying the cell cycle re-entry of adult retinal stem cells and the differentiation of retinal neurons. However, how proliferative retinal progenitor cells perform a precise transition to postmitotic retinal cell types during the process of development and regeneration remains elusive.

The gravity recovery and climate experiment (GRACE) and its Follow-On mission provide a versatile tool for monitoring groundwater depletion in North China Plain (NCP). However, intermittent data gaps and inherent coarse spatial resolution have restricted the continuous detection of regional groundwater storage anomaly (GWSA) after 2014, the period of interest during the implementation of the south-to-north water diversion middle route project (SNWDP). Here, we investigated the spatiotemporal changes of GWSA in the NCP during 2004 to 2020 based on continuous downscaled GRACE data.

Objective: To observe the effect of trastuzumab and cisplatin combined with irinotecan in the treatment of advanced Her-2 positive gastric cancer and its influence on disease control rate.

Methods: From January 2018 to January 2021, 120 patients with advanced Her-2 positive gastric cancer admitted to our hospital were selected as the research subjects. According to the treatment plan of the patients, they were divided into a control group and a joint group, with 60 cases in each group; the control group was given trastuzumab + cisplatin, the joint group was treated with irinotecan on this basis, and the clinical effects and disease control rate of the two groups were observed.

To improve clinical outcomes and shorten the vein-to-vein time of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells, we developed the FasT CAR-T (F-CAR-T) next-day manufacturing platform. We report the preclinical and first-in-human clinical studies evaluating the safety, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of CD19 F-CAR-T in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). CD19 F-CAR-T cells demonstrated excellent proliferation with a younger cellular phenotype, less exhaustion, and more effective tumor elimination compared to conventional CAR-T cells in the preclinical study.

Objectives: Stem cell-derived photoreceptor replacement therapy is a promising strategy for the treatment of retinal degenerative disease. The development of 3D retinal organoids has permitted the production of photoreceptors. However, there is no strategy to enrich a specific photoreceptor subtype due to inadequate knowledge of the molecular mechanism underlying the photoreceptor fate determination.

The water quality range for wastewater treatment projects in the food processing industry changes constantly. To fully understand the threshold for pollutant removal with the lowest possible energy consumption, the relationship between pollutant removal and wastewater treatment conditions was established using response surface methodology (RSM). The optimum conditions for total COD, TN, and NH-N removal from saline mustard tuber wastewater (MTWW) with a packed cage rotating biological contactor (RBC) system were investigated by experiments based on a Box-Behnken design (BBD).
