Background: Venous air embolism (VAE) is a potentially lethal condition, with a reported incidence rate of about 0.13%, and the true incidence may be higher since many VAE are asymptomatic. The current treatments for VAE include Durant's maneuver, aspiration and removal of air through venous catheters, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Article Synopsis
  • Dysregulation of enhancer transcription and the role of enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) in cancer is explored, aiming to identify genetic factors influencing eRNA expression to better understand cancer mechanisms.! -
  • Researchers conducted a detailed analysis of eRNA quantitative trait loci (eRNAQTLs) in colorectal cancer samples from China, integrating epigenomic and genetic data from over 154 CRC cases to establish the first eRNAQTL profiles.! -
  • A total of 300,112 eRNAQTLs were identified across various cancers, highlighting their connection to cancer risk and potential therapeutic targets, with a specific focus on an eRNAQTL variant (rs3094296-T) that reduces colorectal cancer risk in Chinese

Paris polyphylla var. chinensis(PPC) is used as one of the origin plants of Paridis Rhizoma described in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2020 edition). Its resources shortage makes the planting scale gradually expand, and plenty of aerial parts are abandoned because of not being effectively used.

Background: Immunoglobulin D (IgD) multiple myeloma (MM) is a rare subtype of MM and commonly occurs in younger subjects but at a later stage of the International Staging System (ISS) when admitted. As a special type of IgD myeloma, IgD-λ/λ biclonal MM is rarer. Its serum protein electrophoresis and serum immuno-fixation electrophoresis (IFE) might find no anomalies even if the bone marrow (BM) examination is performed.

In tropical areas, a large number of natural forests have been transformed into other plantations, which affected the water conservation function of terrestrial ecosystems. In order to clari-fy the effects of land use changes on soil water conservation function, we selected four typical land use types in the central mountainous region of Hainan Island, i.e.

BACKGROUND To observe and demonstrate therapeutic effects and side effects of two selective COX-2 inhibitors, imrecoxib and celecoxib, on patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and observe the correlation between imaging scores and serum DKK-1 levels. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty patients with axSpA were randomly assigned to receive 200 mg imrecoxib or 200 mg celecoxib twice daily. Fifty-one patients who completed follow-up were included in the study.

Objective: To explore the efficacy and safety of vitamin D (VD) in the treatment of idiopathic oligoasthenozoospermia.

Methods: This study included 86 infertile men with idiopathic oligoasthenozoospermia, who were randomized to a VD and a control group of equal number, the former given oral VD 200 IU/d and calcium 600 mg/d,qd, while the latter administered oral vitamin E 100 mg and vitamin C 100 mg, tid. After 3 months of medication, we compared the semen parameters, adverse reactions, and pregnancy rate between the two groups.

Unlabelled: The global coronary calcium score has been widely used in the evaluation of coronary plaque burden and cardiovascular disease events. In this study, we investigated the value of segmental coronary calcium score (SCCS) on the diagnosis and interventional treatment. We studied 87 patients with coronary angiography (CAG) and coronary CT angiography (CTA) by 320-slice dynamic volume CT (DVCT).

Insect hosts have evolved potent innate immunity against invasion by parasitoid wasps. Host/parasitoids live in co-evolutionary relationships. Nasonia vitripennis females inject venom into their dipteran hosts just prior to laying eggs on the host's outer integument.

Multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma (MCRCC) is an uncommon low-grade renal cell carcinoma with unique morphologic features. The 2004 World Health Organization classification of kidney tumors categorized MCRCC as a separate entity. The authors report the case of a 48-year-old man whose MCRCC originated from the lower portion of the duplex kidney (DK).

Through a 2 x 2 factorial outdoor experiment, the effects of leaf damage and sediment type on the compensatory growth of submerged macrophyte Vallisneria spiralis were examined. The results showed that leaf damage and sediment type had significant effects on the cumulative biomass, biomass allocation, and ramet number of V. spiralis.

Objectives: Particularly interesting new cysteine-histidine-rich protein (PINCH), as a LIM domain adapter protein, functions in the integrin and growth factor signal transduction pathway, and is upregulated in tumor-associated stroma in several types of cancers. However, no study of PINCH has been carried out in gliomas, therefore we examined PINCH expression in gliomas and its clinicopathological significance.

Methods: PINCH expression was immunohistochemically examined in 82 gliomas, along with 26 matched adjacent normal brain samples and 10 recurred gliomas.

Objective: To study the effect of Xianlong granules (XLG) on immunological function in the rat of adjuvant arthritis (AA).

Method: Rats were randomly divided into normal group, AA model group, prednisone group and low, middle and high dose XLG groups, 10 rats in each group. All rats were treated by intragastric administration from the 18 days after arthritis was induced by the complete Freud's adjuvant and the effect of XLG on toes swelling was observed.

Objective: To observe the effects of Kangfengshi Granules (KFSG) on expressions of the mRNAs of osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) in bone tissues of rats with collagen-induced arthritis.

Methods: Forty SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group, untreated group, cyclosporine A (CsA)-treated group and KFSG-treated group. Except the rats in the normal control group, all the other rats received subcutaneous injection of collagen II to establish collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) models.
