Myelin injury occurs in brain ageing and in several neurological diseases. Failure of spontaneous remyelination is attributable to insufficient differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) into mature myelin-forming oligodendrocytes in CNS demyelinated lesions. Emerging evidence suggests that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is the master gatekeeper of CNS injury and repair and plays an important regulatory role in various neurodegenerative diseases.

Herein, a tumor microenvironment activated covalently conjugation (self- and proximal conjugation) of tyramine modified Pt nanoclusters (PCMT NPs) was constructed by in situ produced radical hooks, leading to efficient accumulation of PCMT NPs at tumor sites. Such accumulation further aggravated the oxidative stress and provoked autophagy of tumor cells via activating the caspase-3 pathway mediated massive apoptosis, thereby stimulating immunogenic cell death (ICD).

TIC stemness is critical for the prognosis of SIL. However, the mechanisms underlying TIC stemness maintenance and tumorigenicity remain unclear.

Additionally, disulfidoptosis, a recently identified form of cellular demise, is closely linked to the initiation and advancement of malignancies. This study aims to create a novel signature of disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) and to further explore its association with the tumor immune microenvironment.

All patients with stage I-IV ovarian carcinoma who underwent primary surgery were identified, and postoperative complications were evaluated and graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Of 161 patients, 46 (28.

Endometrioid ovarian cancer, a distinct subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer, is associated with endometriosis and Lynch syndrome, and is often accompanied by synchronous endometrial carcinoma. In recent years, dysbiosis of the microbiota within the female reproductive tract has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer, with some specific pathogens exhibiting oncogenic having been found to contribute to cancer development.

After resection of the body and tail of the pancreas, the postoperative histopathological examination confirmed a placental site trophoblastic tumour that had developed after several cycles of chemotherapy for the original primary tumour and the liver metastases. This type of sequential recurrence of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia in the primary site or metastatic sites, such as the liver or pancreas, can be cured by a comprehensive treatment strategy involving surgery and/or salvage chemotherapy and continuous follow-up over a long period, especially for patients with a high-risk status.

June 2020
The safety zone of a large flat-plate bounded-wave electromagnetic pulse simulator was analyzed using the 3D electromagnetic simulation software Computer Simulation Technology. First, the double-limit requirement cited from the GB 8702 for an instantaneous pulse was clarified compared with the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection guidelines. This means that both the amplitude of the time-domain waveforms and all frequency components should be satisfied with the respective exposure limits.
