Hot topics and frontier evolution of growth-mindset research: a bibliometric analysis using CiteSpace.

By virtue of CiteSpace, this study aims to evaluate and pinpoint the status, hot areas, and frontiers of growth-mindset research. Co-authorship analysis, co-citation analysis, co-occurrence analysis, cluster analysis, and content analysis are conducted, based on 543 articles selected from the Social Sciences Citation Index database. Researchers from Australia and countries/territories in North America, East Asia, and Western Europe have maintained relatively closer cooperation with each other.

Robotic laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer: A propensity score matching cohort study and meta-analysis.

Background: Robotic surgery (RS) is gaining popularity; however, evidence for abdominoperineal resection (APR) of rectal cancer (RC) is scarce.

Aim: To compare the efficacy of RS and laparoscopic surgery (LS) in APR for RC.

Methods: We retrospectively identified patients with RC who underwent APR by RS or LS from April 2016 to June 2022.

M2 macrophage-derived exosomal miR-25-3p improves high glucose-induced podocytes injury through activation autophagy via inhibiting DUSP1 expression.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the primary reason of chronic kidney disease. The aim of our study is to explore the role and action mechanism of M2 macrophage-derived exosomes in high glucose (HG)-induced podocytes injury. Here, 30 mmol/L of HG was used to induce podocytes injury.

Role of Nampt overexpression in a rat model of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and its mechanism of action.

The present study was designed to investigate the role of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) overexpression in a rat model of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and its mechanism of action. A rat model of HT was constructed, and the HT rats were injected with an adenoviral expression vector carrying the gene. The expression of Nampt and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in thyroid tissues was examined using immunohistochemistry (IHC), RT-qPCR and western blot analyses.

Novel metabolic disorders in skeletal muscle of Lipodystrophic Bscl2/Seipin deficient mice.

Bscl2 mice recapitulate many of the major metabolic manifestations in Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy type 2 (BSCL2) individuals, including lipodystrophy, hepatosteatosis, muscular hypertrophy, and insulin resistance. Metabolic defects in Bscl2 mice with regard to glucose and lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle have never been investigated. Here, we identified Bscl2 mice displayed reduced intramyocellular triglyceride (IMTG) content but increased glycogen storage predominantly in oxidative type I soleus muscle (SM).

Obesity-associated family with sequence similarity 13, member A (FAM13A) is dispensable for adipose development and insulin sensitivity.

Background: Obesity and its associated morbidities represent the major and most rapidly expanding world-wide health epidemic. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) reveal that single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variant in the Family with Sequence Similarity 13, Member A (FAM13A) gene is strongly associated with waist-hip ratio (WHR) with adjustment for body mass index (BMI) (WHRadjBMI). However, the function of FAM13A in adipose development and obesity remains largely uncharacterized.
