GABA receptors regulate the neural stem cell potential of Pkd2l1 cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons (CSF-cNs) exhibit neural stem cell (NSC) properties both in vitro and in vivo, and they may play a critical role in recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). GABA receptors (GABABRs) are expressed in Pkd2l1 CSF-cNs. However, their role in Pkd2l1 CSF-cNs still needs to be discovered.

Social support, fear of cancer recurrence and sleep quality in breast cancer: A moderated network analysis.

Purpose: Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) contributes to sleep problems and social support is a buffering factor in the literature. However, the moderating effect of social support between FCR and sleep quality is unclear.

Methods: The moderating role of social support was examined in a cohort of 460 breast cancer patients from the 2024 Be Resilient to Breast Cancer (BRBC) program from a microscopic perspective using moderated network analysis, and then assessed macroscopically by Johnson-Neyman and response surface analysis.

Grade ≥ 3 hematologic adverse events of immunotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The impact of incorporating immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) into standard chemotherapy on the severity and risk of myelosuppression in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients remains uncertain.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of phase 3 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated ICIs in people with NSCLC. A comprehensive search of four databases, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, was carried out from inception to 30 October 2023.

Application of artificial intelligence in the health management of chronic disease: bibliometric analysis.

Background: With the rising global burden of chronic diseases, traditional health management models are encountering significant challenges. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into chronic disease management has enhanced patient care efficiency, optimized treatment strategies, and reduced healthcare costs, providing innovative solutions in this field. However, current research remains fragmented and lacks systematic, comprehensive analysis.

Thalamic functional connectivity on 7-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging and its relation to motor signs in early-stage Parkinson's disease.

Background: It is well known that dysfunction of thalamocortical circuity generates the motor signs that lead to distinct disease processes and prognoses in Parkinson's disease (PD). This study aimed to leverage ultrahigh-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify the connectivity alterations of thalamocortical circuity and clarify their relation to motor signs in early PD.

Methods: Patients with early-stage PD (n=55) and healthy controls (HCs, n=56) were recruited from March 2022 to July 2023.
