Thymidine kinase 1 as a target is regulated by the hsa-let-7b-5p/LINC00665 axis and affects NSCLC prognosis.

Background: In the past, multiple studies have offered incremental evidence that indicates that competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory networks are involved in tumor growth and present novel therapeutic targets. Herein, we investigated the impact of thymidine kinase 1 ()-related ceRNA networks on the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: expression data in NSCLC and normal tissue samples were retrieved from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and were then compared.

Modified Kirschner wire percutaneous rotation prying reduction combined with elastic stable intramedullary nailing in children with Judet IV radial neck fracture.

Purpose: This study was to investigate the feasibility and treatment effect of using modified Kirschner wire (K-wire) percutaneous rotation prying reduction combined with Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing (ESIN) in children with Judet IV radial neck fracture.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 47 children with Judet IV radial neck fracture who underwent treatment with modified K-wire percutaneous rotation prying reduction combined with ESIN from April 2019 to November 2022, including 25 males and 22 females, with an average age of 8.79 years old (ranging from 5 to 14).

Ultrasound, a new adjuvant method for treating acute Monteggia fracture in children.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using ultrasound-guided Kirschner wire or elastic intramedullary nail for fixation in the treatment of acute Monteggia fracture in children.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 31 cases of acute Monteggia fracture in children treated with ultrasound-guided Kirschner wire or elastic intramedullary nail fixation between April 2020 and December 2022, including 14 cases of Kirschner wire fixation and 17 cases of elastic intramedullary nail fixation. During the operation, soft tissue compression and nerve and vascular injuries were explored, fracture reduction was performed under ultrasound guidance, and operation time was recorded.

Tetrahydroxystilbene glucoside relieves the chronic inflammatory pain by inhibiting neuronal apoptosis, microglia activation, and GluN2B overexpression in anterior cingulate cortex.

Tetrahydroxystilbene glucoside (THSG) is one of the active ingredients of Polygonum multiflorum. It has been shown to exert a variety of pharmacological effects, including antioxidant, anti-aging, and anti-atherosclerosis. Because of its prominent anti-inflammatory effect, we explored whether THSG had analgesic effect.
