Objectives: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of suraxavir marboxil (GP681, abbreviated as suraxavir) in adults with uncomplicated influenza.
Methods: We conducted a multi-center randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial in 18 Chinese centers. Participants had to be aged 18-65 years with positive influenza test, presenting with at least one influenza systemic and respiratory symptoms in at least moderate severity within 48 hours of onset.
Hemorrhage, a common consequence of diseases, surgical procedures, and traffic accidents, poses a significant threat to public health. Effective hemostasis is crucial for patient survival and prognosis, particular in case of internal bleeding. While polysaccharide microsphere-based hemostatic materials have gained clinical acceptance due to their effectiveness, good biocompatibility, and versatility in both intravascular and extravascular hemostasis, they are limited by their single function and insufficient hemostatic properties.

Background: Heart failure is linked to increased hospitalization and mortality. Mitochondrial permeability transition-driven necrosis is associated with cardiovascular diseases, but its role in heart failure is unclear. This study aimed to identify and validate genes related to mitochondrial permeability transition-driven necrosis in heart failure, potentially leading to new drug targets and signaling pathways.

Authigenic carbonate fluorapatite (CFA) has been suggested to represent a significant phosphorus sink in the deep ocean, but its formation mechanisms in oceanic low-productivity settings remain poorly constrained. Applying X-ray absorption near edge structure, transmission electron microscopy, and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer analyses, we report a unique mineral assemblage where CFA crystals coat phillipsite in abyssal sediments of the East Mariana Basin and the Philippine Sea.
