Background: Total hip replacement (THR) is a surgical procedure in which all or part of the hip joint is replaced with an artificial hip joint to rebuild the motor function of the joint.

Objective: To explore the impacts of hypothermia preventive nursing on perioperative coagulation function and stress response in elderly patients undergoing THR.

Method: A total of 124 elderly patients who underwent THR from February 2020 to February 2023 were included and assigned to the control group (CG) and observation group (OG).

Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the lung (HAL) is extremely rare; a standardized treatment strategy for HAL has not been established. The prognosis of patients with unresectable HAL is extremely poor. Here, we reported a 64-year-old male patient with unresectable alpha-fetoprotein-producing HAL who showed moderate harboring programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and no targetable driver mutations.

An ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with ion mobility quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry method was developed for the separation and identification of phenols, organic acids, flavonoids and curcumin in different species of ginger. The parameters affecting the separation and response of liquid chromatography, including the stationary phase and mobile phase, were systematically investigated and optimized. To further identify the differential metabolites in the six types of samples, a chemometric approach was introduced.

Background And Purpose: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant lung cancers are associated with a high risk of developing brain metastases (BM). Craniocerebral radiotherapy is a cornerstone for the treatment of BM, and EGFR-TKIs act on craniocerebral metastases". However, whether EGFR-TKIs combined with craniocerebral radiotherapy can further increase the efficacy and improve the prognosis of patients is unclear.

Metalloproteinases (MPs) is a large family of proteinases with metal ions in their active centers. According to the different domains metalloproteinases can be divided into a variety of subtypes mainly including Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs), A Disintegrin and Metalloproteases (ADAMs) and ADAMs with Thrombospondin Motifs (ADAMTS). They have various functions such as protein hydrolysis, cell adhesion and remodeling of extracellular matrix.

Background: Combined therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and microwave ablation (MWA) is known to improve outcome in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the mechanism underlying the synergistic effect of these two treatments is unknown. Tumor immune microenvironment is known to affect the efficacy of ICI.

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. More than 70% of breast cancers are estrogen receptor (ER) alpha positive. Compared with ER alpha-negative breast cancer, which is more aggressive and has a shorter survival time, ER alpha-positive breast cancer could benefit from endocrine therapy.

Background: The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has recently emerged as a predictor of survival in non-small cell lung cancer patients. There is also tight correlation between radiotherapy and immune status, and brain metastases (BM) radiotherapy is an important treatment in patients with BM from lung adenocarcinoma harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. Hence, this study aimed to present the prognostic value of SII and its dynamic changes during BM radiotherapy in EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma patients with BM.

Many TGA transcription factors participate in immune responses in the SA-mediated signaling pathway in Arabidopsis. This study identified a transcription factor OsTGAL1, which is induced upon infection by Xoo. Overexpression of OsTGAL1 increased the susceptibility of rice to Xoo.

Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in various human malignancies, but the molecular mechanism of lncRNA TINCR ubiquitin domain containing (TINCR) in bladder cancer remains unclear. The present study found that the expression of TINCR was significantly increased in bladder cancer tissues and cell lines, when compared with that in adjacent normal tissues and normal urinary tract epithelial cell line SV‑HUC‑1, respectively. Moreover, the high expression of TINCR was associated with tumor metastasis and advanced tumor, node, metastasis stage, as well as reduced overall survival rates of patients with bladder cancer.

Objective: Endostar is a new vascular epithelial inhibitor, which is reported to be effective in treating liver metastasis from gastric cancer. However, the optimal therapeutic regimen of Endostar remains unclear. Thus, our study aimed to examine the efficacy and safety of Endostar continuous intravenous infusion combined with S-1 and oxaliplatin (SOX) chemotherapy in treating such patients.

It has been confirmed that B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA; also known as CD272) is a novel co--inhibitory molecule that exhibits a critical role in restraining cell-mediated antitumor immunity. The present study aimed to investigate the expression and prognostic significance of BTLA in gastric adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was performed to investigate BTLA expression in gastric cancer tissues and normal mucosal tissues.

In the title compound, C(20)H(31)Cl(2)N(2)O(6)PSi, the dioxaphospho-rinane ring adopts a cis conformation. The silatrane fragment forms a cage-like structure in which there exists an intra-molecular Si-N donor-acceptor bond. In the crystal, centrosymmetrically related mol-ecules are linked by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into inversion dimers, generating rings with graph-set motif R(2) (2)(8).

Objective: To investigate the absorption mechanism of oxysophocarpine across Caco-2 cell monolayer model.

Method: The safety concentration of oxysophocarpine in Caco-2 cell was first selected by using MTT method. Then the Caco-2 cell monolayers drug transport model was assigned to study the bi-direction transport mechanism of oxysophocarpine by evaluating the influent factors such as time, concentration, pH, P-gp inhibitor of verapamil, on its absorption characterization.

With the upper reaches of Gongbiela River in the northeast part of Xiaoxing' an Mountains as test area, this paper studied the hydrochemical characteristics of the streams in forest and swamp during the period of June - September 2004. The results indicated that the hydrochemistry of forest and swamp streams belonged to calcium-bicarbonate type I (C1(Ca)). The pH value, mineralization rate, total hardness, and HCO3(-), SO4(2-), Ca(2+), Mg(2+) and Fe concentrations of forest streams were lower than those of swamp streams, while the concentrations of total N, total P, Cl-, K+, and Na+ were in adverse.
