Salvia miltiorrhiza adjuvant therapy facilitates cardiac function recovery in patients with myocardial infarction.

Myocardial infarction (MI), a leading cause of global mortality, often leads to heart failure and impaired quality of life. This randomized controlled trial evaluated Salvia miltiorrhiza (SM), a traditional Chinese herb containing bioactive compounds like tanshinone IIA and salvianolic acid A, as an adjunct therapy for acute MI. SM is known for anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticoagulant and microcirculatory benefits.

Study on the effect of Western medicine caltrate D combined with traditional Chinese medicine eight section brocade practice therapy on preventing postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Caltrate D is a commonly used drug in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP), but the effect of single application is not ideal. Therefore, to investigate the eight section brocade therapy combined with caltrate D effect in preventing and treating PMOP. From January 2021 to June 2022, 110 postmenopausal women with decreased bone mass were selected and randomized into group A (n = 54) and group B (n = 56).

Integration of Circulating Tumor DNA and Metabolic Parameters on F-Fludeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography for Outcome Prediction in Unresectable Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

This prospective study explores the prognostic value of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and positron emission tomography/computed tomograpy (PET/CT) in unresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT). The discovery set includes 62 patients, with 62 baseline and 53 post-CRT plasma samples. PET/CT is performed at baseline, and 33 patients undergo mid-treatment scans after 40 Gy.

Gram-Scale Preparation of Tri-Coordinated Single-Atom Catalysts for CO Electrolysis in Large-Scale Membrane Electrode Assembly.

Accelerating the commercialization of CO electroreduction is essential for carbon utilization, yet it faces challenges of precious metal catalysts cost and scaling-up of the corresponding devices. In this study, a low-cost and tri-coordinated single-atom catalyst (SAC) with Ni-N3 center is fabricated in gram-scale using metal ionic liquids as precursor. The gram-scale Ni-N3 SAC (g-NiN3) achieves efficient electroreduction of CO to CO (eCO-to-CO) with a maximum Faradaic efficiency of 98.

IFN-γ signaling links ventriculomegaly to choroid plexus and ependyma dysfunction following maternal immune activation.

Maternal immune activation (MIA) is a principal environmental risk factor contributing to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and can be causally linked to ASD symptoms. In our study, we found that MIA triggered by poly (I: C) injection caused ventriculomegaly in offspring due to the dysfunction of the choroid plexus (Chp) and ependyma. We subsequently identified a sustained enhancement of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) signaling in the brain and serum of MIA offspring.
