Article Synopsis
- Peanuts are a special type of plant that grow their seeds underground and are packed with nutrients like oil and protein.
- Scientists found a gene that helps protect peanut seeds from diseases in the soil, focusing on parts of the seed called pericarp and testa.
- By using this gene, they hope to make peanuts stronger against soil diseases, which can help in farming and ensure more food is available for everyone.
Background: Latent and active myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) in knee-associated muscles may play a key role in pain management among patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dry needling treatment on pain intensity, disability, and range of motion (ROM) in patients with KOA.
Methods: This randomized, single-blinded, clinical trial was carried out for 6 weeks of treatment and 6-month follow-up.
Objective: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are widely used in regeneration and repair of various tissues and organs, and whether MSC-conditioned medium (MSC-CM) has protective effects in postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) remains largely unknown. We aimed to assess the therapeutic effect and explore the mechanisms of MSC-CM therapy in a POCD mouse model.
Methods: Sixty C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to 3 groups: control, POCD and POCD + MSC-CM.
Objective: To investigate the role of gap-junction in suspended animation for hemorrhagic shock with brain injury.
Methods: Twenty-four SD rats were made into models of uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock and occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries and randomly divided into 3 equal groups: traditional resuscitation group (Group I) undergoing traditional resuscitation, hypothermy resuscitation group (Group II) undergoing temperature lowering by ice-cap, and carbenoxolone resuscitation group (Group III) undergoing injection of carbenoxolone 50 microg/200 g. The process was divided into 3 periods: traumatic hemorrhagic period (30 min), pre-hospital treatment period (60 min), and in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation period (60 min).
