Quercetin promotes osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells by modulating the miR-214-3p/Wnt3a/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis, primarily driven by estrogen deficiency, is predominantly mediated through estrogen receptors such as ERα. However, the underlying mechanisms necessitate further investigation. In this study, we established an ERα-deficient model in rBMSCs to elucidate the role of ERα in osteogenic differentiation and miRNA expression profiles.

Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection Masquerading as Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Case Report.

Aortic dissection (AD), a life-threatening cardiovascular emergency, is characterized by the separation of the aorta's inner and middle layers due to a tear in the intima. It is classified as Stanford type A or B based on the tear's location and extent. Symptoms vary but commonly include severe pain in the chest, back, or abdomen, along with atypical presentations such as shock, heart failure, or syncope.

[Comparison of fat determination methods and analysis of fatty acids in tea].

Objective: Comparative analysis of two method for determining fat and analysis of fatty acid content in tea samples.

Methods: The content of freefatand total fat in tea was determined by Soxhlet extraction method and acid hydrolysis method, and the content of fatty acids were determined by gas chromatography. The composition and content of fatty acids in 21 tea samples from 5 regions were analyzed.

MXene-enhanced ePatch with antibacterial activity for wound healing.

Prudent wound-healing strategies hold great potential in expediting tissue renovation and regeneration. Despite the widespread adoption of hydrogels as preferred carriers for wound healing patches, achieving optimal mechanical compatibility and superior wound performance remains a formidable challenge. Consequently, meticulous attention must be given to the formulation of hydrogel structure and materials design to overcome these hurdles.

A meta-analysis of the effects of probiotics on various parameters in critically ill ventilated individuals.

Background: According to reports, ventilator-associated pneumonia affects critically ill patients more frequently than any other nosocomial infection. Probiotic usage as a prophylactic intervention has shown promising results in numerous studies.

Objectives: We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of probiotics on different parameters in critically ill ventilated subjects.

A 6 transcription factors-associated nomogram predicts the recurrence-free survival of thyroid papillary carcinoma.

Various researches demonstrated that transcription factors (TFs) played a crucial role in the progression and prognosis of cancer. However, few studies indicated that TFs were independent biomarkers for the prognosis of thyroid papillary carcinoma (TPC). Our aim was to establish and validate a novel TF signature for the prediction of TPC patients' recurrence-free survival (RFS) from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database to improve the prediction of survival in TPC patients.

Schizandrin B Mitigates Rifampicin-Induced Liver Injury by Inhibiting Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress.

Schisandra chinensis is widely used and effective in protecting liver. There are many mechanisms of drug-induced hepatocyte injury, among which endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced cell injury plays an important role. However, little is known about whether schisandra chinensis can inhibit rifampicin (RFP)-induced hepatocyte injury by affecting ER stress.

Clinical features of campylobacter-associated benign convulsions with mild gastroenteritis compared with rotavirus convulsions.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to compare the clinical features of campylobacter-associated benign convulsions with mild gastroenteritis (BCWG) with rotavirus-associated BCWG in China.

Methods: The medical records of BCWG patients admitted to Children's Hospital of Jiangxi Province in China between January 2015 and January 2017 were reviewed in this retrospective study.

Results: Ultimately, 318 patients were diagnosed with BCWG.

Taxonomy of the order Mononegavirales: update 2016.

In 2016, the order Mononegavirales was emended through the addition of two new families (Mymonaviridae and Sunviridae), the elevation of the paramyxoviral subfamily Pneumovirinae to family status (Pneumoviridae), the addition of five free-floating genera (Anphevirus, Arlivirus, Chengtivirus, Crustavirus, and Wastrivirus), and several other changes at the genus and species levels. This article presents the updated taxonomy of the order Mononegavirales as now accepted by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV).

Deficiency of caspase 3 in tumor xenograft impairs therapeutic effect of measles virus Edmoston strain.

The oncolytic measles virus Edmonston (MV-Edm) strain shows considerable oncolytic activity against a variety of human tumors. In this study, we report MV-Edm is able to trigger apoptosis pathways in infected tumor cells and elucidate the roles of cellular apoptosis in the whole oncolytic process. We also show that activated caspase 3, a key executioner of apoptosis, plays key roles in the oncolytic virotherapy.

A novel iodide-catalyzed reduction of nitroarenes and aryl ketones with H3PO2 or H3PO3: its application to the synthesis of a potential anticancer agent.

A novel iodide-catalyzed reduction method using hypophosphorous and/or phosphorus acids was developed to reduce both diaryl ketones and nitroarenes chemoselectively in the presence of chloro and bromo substituents in high yield. This efficient and practical method has been successfully applied to a large scale production of a potential anticancer agent.
