Identification of ENTPD1 as a novel biomarker linking allergic rhinitis and systemic lupus erythematosus.

Several studies reveal that allergic rhinitis (AR) is a significant risk factor of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, studies investigating the common pathogenesis linking AR and SLE are lacking. Our study aims to search for the shared biomarkers and mechanisms that may provide new therapeutic targets for preventing AR from developing SLE.

Therapeutic effect of E-Lip-siRNA-sFlt1 on pre-eclampsia: targeted gene silencing and improved pregnancy outcomes.

To evaluate a liposome complex conjugated with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibodies for the treatment of pre-eclampsia (PE). In experiments, the transfection rate, silencing effect and cytotoxicity were determined. In the PE model, the siRNA distribution, mean arterial pressure, 24-h urine protein concentration, serum sFlt1 concentration, number of viable fetuses and placental weight were measured.

Integrated radiochemotherapy study of ZIF-8 coated with osteosarcoma-platelet hybrid membranes for the delivery of Dbait and Adriamycin.

The toxic side effects of systemic high-dose chemotherapy and poor sensitivity to radiotherapy hinder the survival rate of patients with osteosarcoma (OS). Nanotechnology offers new solutions for OS treatment; however, conventional nanocarriers suffer from inadequate targeting of tumors and short circulation time. Here, we designed a novel drug delivery system, [Dbait-ADM@ZIF-8]OPM, which uses OS-platelet hybrid membranes to encapsulate nanocarriers, to enhance the targeting and circulation time of nanocarriers, thereby enabling high enrichment of the nanocarriers in OS sites.

Extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma of the external auditory canal: a case report and review of the literature.

Extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma (EPSCC) affecting the external auditory canal (EAC) is uncommon. We herein report a case involving a 56-year-old man with EPSCC of the EAC who had a 48-year history of recurrent purulent discharge in both ears and a 20-day history of right ear pain and hemorrhage followed by incomplete right eyelid closure and an askew mouth. He underwent surgical removal of middle ear granulation tissue, residual ossicles, and a right EAC mass.
