Sub-coronary ROSS operation in a young man with quadricuspid aortic valve and anomalous aortic origin of the left coronary artery: A case report.

Rationale: Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare condition with a very low incidence. Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) is the most prevalent form of coronary anomaly. One variant of AAOCA is the anomalous aortic origin of the left coronary artery from the right coronary sinus (L-AAOCA).

Tailoring supercontinuum generation in a cascaded random Raman fiber laser based on a tunable noise pump.

The control of temporal noise of the pump could add an additional degree of freedom to manipulate the spectrum of continuous-wave (CW) pumped SC generation. In this paper, we experimentally tailor the CW-pumped supercontinuum (SC) generation in a cascaded Raman random fiber laser (CRRFL) based on a 1 µm pump with tunable temporal dynamics. The pump is based on a spectrally filtered ytterbium-doped random fiber laser (YRFL) seed laser, which can be amplified to a 10 W level with the tunable temporal noise.

Deposition of sulfur by Spartina alterniflora promoted its ecological adaptability in cadmium-polluted coastal wetlands.

Invasive Spartina alterniflora poses a significant threat to coastal wetland ecosystems. This study investigated the role of sulfur (S) in facilitating the invasion of S. alterniflora in cadmium (Cd)-contaminated coastal wetlands by greenhouse-control-experiment.

FOXC1-mediated serine metabolism reprogramming enhances colorectal cancer growth and 5-FU resistance under serine restriction.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common gastrointestinal malignancy, and 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is the principal chemotherapeutic drug used for its treatment. However, 5-FU resistance remains a significant challenge. Under stress conditions, tumor metabolic reprogramming influences 5-FU resistance.

Diagnostic Application of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Analysis in Cases of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in which Diagnosis Cannot Be Confirmed by High-Resolution Computed Tomography.

Purpose: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive fibrotic lung disorder characterized by dry cough, fatigue, and exacerbated dyspnea. The prognosis of IPF is notably unfavorable, becoming extremely poor when the disease advances acutely. Effective therapeutic intervention is essential to mitigate disease progression; hence, early diagnosis and treatment are paramount.
