Background: The pattern of changes in the cervical spine and the spinal cord and their dynamic characteristics in patients with cervical spinal cord injury without fracture and dislocation remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the dynamic changes in the cervical spine and spinal cord from C2/3 to C7/T1 in different positions by using kinematic magnetic resonance imaging in patients with cervical spinal cord injury without fracture and dislocation. This study was approved by the ethics committee of Yuebei People's Hospital.

- Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play important roles in cellular processes and are composed of various biomolecules, especially microRNAs.
- The study evaluated three popular EV isolation kits (ExoQuick-TC, Total Exosome Isolation, exoEasy Maxi Kit) to determine their effectiveness in isolating EVs from HepG2 cell culture supernatants, focusing on their quality for High-throughput sequencing.
- Results indicated that Total Exosome Isolation and exoEasy Maxi Kit isolated more microRNA than ExoQuick-TC, with Total Exosome Isolation providing the highest quality for further sequencing applications.
Article Synopsis
- Acute liver injury occurs quickly and caffeine seems to help protect liver cells, but how it works isn’t clear, especially in relation to a protein called GRP78.
- Researchers created models of acute liver injury in cells and mice and tested caffeine's effects, measuring gene levels, cell viability, and protein interactions.
- Results showed caffeine reduces cell death and stress in liver cells by increasing NEDD4L, which inhibits GRP78 through a process called ubiquitination, suggesting caffeine could be a potential treatment for acute liver injury.
Background And Aim: Various all-oral direct-acting antiviral (DAA) regimens are being widely used in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infected patients; however, the comparative efficacy and safety of different types and combinations of DAAs are not completely clear. There is still a lack of integration of evidence for optimized therapies for HIV/HCV co-infection.
Methods: We conducted a systematic literature search in several databases up to January 1, 2020.
Approximately 34-86% of neoplasms of the salivary glands are located in the parotid gland and parotidectomy is the first-line treatment for parotid gland tumors. Frey syndrome and cosmetic deformity are common complications experienced by patients following parotidectomy and the sternocleidomastoid muscle flap (SCMF) is used to prevent them. Numerous studies have been performed to examine the effectiveness of the SCMF for the prevention of cosmetic deformity and Frey syndrome, however, they provide contradictory results and possess small sample sizes with consequently low statistical power.
