Clinical Efficacy and Complications of Spinal Surgery Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy for Cervical Spondylosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the clinical efficacy and complications of unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) for treating cervical spondylosis (CS), providing evidence-based guidance for optimal treatment decisions.

Methods: Relevant studies on UBE for CS were identified through comprehensive searches of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library up to April 22, 2024. Studies included patients diagnosed with CS who underwent UBE surgery and reported outcomes such as visual analog scale (VAS) scores, neck disability index scores, and postoperative complications.

Enhanced Assembling of N-and-K-Riched Macroalgae as Carbon Adsorbent for CO Capture with Ni(NO)/KOH as Co-Catalysts.

Porous-activated carbons have drawn great attention due to their important role in CO capture. Ni(NO)/KOH, as co-catalysts under different temperatures, were studied to obtain porous graphitized carbon from feedstock. The results indicated that the properties of the porous graphitized carbon generated at 850 °C were greatly enhanced, showing a large specific surface area of 1486.

Extracellular vesicle‑delivered miR‑505‑5p, as a diagnostic biomarker of early lung adenocarcinoma, inhibits cell apoptosis by targeting TP53AIP1.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LA) is the most commonly occurring histological type of non‑small cell lung cancer. Diagnosis and treatment of LA remain a major clinical challenge. In the present study, to identify early LA biomarkers, extracellular vesicles (EVs) were separated from the plasma samples from 153 patients with LA and 75 healthy controls.

[Changes in pulmonary function in SARS patients during the three-year convalescent period].

Objective: To investigate the patterns of pulmonary function in severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) patients during three-year convalescent period, and to investigate the changes and the medium and long term effects on pulmonary function of SARS patients.

Methods: Pulmonary function tests were conducted for four times in 37 SARS patients during three-year convalescent period. They were discharged from hospital within one month, three months, one year and three years respectively.
