LINC01094 as a diagnostic marker of osteoporotic fractures is involved in fracture healing.

Fragility fractures are frequently observed among the elderly population with osteoporosis, and the fundamental process of fracture recovery relies on the differentiation of osteoblasts. LINC01094 was a crucial lncRNA in the regulation of the progression of diseases, but its role in osteoporotic fracture remained unclear. This study was to investigate alterations in the expression of LINC01094 in patients with osteoporotic fractures, evaluate its potential role as a diagnostic biomarker, and explore its effects on osteoblast differentiation.

Efficient In Situ Generation of Photon-Memory Entanglement in a Nonlinear Cavity.

Parametrically driving an optical cavity that simultaneously couples to an atomic ensemble quantum memory enables in situ generation of multimode photon-memory entanglement. A high-rate bipartite photon-memory entanglement can be generated even after discarding one entangled optical mode. This protocol can be realized with existing technologies based on photonic resonators integrated with a rare-earth-ion doped quantum memory.

Objectives: In order to understand the efficacy of control measures and their impact on the prevention of Hand-foot-mouth disease, this study focuses on assessing the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak on the hand-foot-mouth disease prevalence.

Methods: Descriptive epidemiological methods and an autoregressive integrated moving average model were employed to analyze the hand-foot-mouth disease incidence data in Zhanggong district of Ganzhou city in China from 2010 to 2019. Predictions for year 2020 and 2021 were extrapolated based on incidence series from 2010 to 2019.

Sustained release of gaseous chlorine dioxide from alpha-cyclodextrin: An innovative method for strawberry preservation.

The traditional method of generating chlorine dioxide (ClO) involves reacting sodium chlorite with acid on-site, posing high safety risks of concentrated ClO. This study encapsulates ClO molecules directly in α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) to form inclusion complexes (ClO@α-CD). This approach enables stable storage and safe handling of gaseous ClO, while its sustained-release property also provides long-term microbial inhibition.

Targeting ferroptosis: a promising approach for treating lung carcinoma.

Lung carcinoma incidence and fatality rates remain among the highest on a global scale. The efficacy of targeted therapies and immunotherapies is commonly compromised by the emergence of drug resistance and other factors, resulting in a lack of durable therapeutic benefits. Ferroptosis, a distinct pattern of cell death marked by the buildup of iron-dependent lipid peroxides, has been shown to be a novel and potentially more effective treatment for lung carcinoma.

Effect of air temperature in indoor transition spaces on the thermal response of occupant during summer.

During the hot summer months, the significant temperature disparity between outdoor and indoor air-conditioned spaces can lead to thermal discomfort and pose a potential health risk. Transition areas such as corridors and elevator lobbies, serving as intermediary zones connecting indoors and outdoors, have been found effective in mitigating this thermal discomfort. In this study, three different temperatures (25 °C-case 1, 27 °C-case 2, and 29 °C-case 3) were employed to investigate the dynamic physiological regulation and thermal perception response of individuals when transitioning from an outdoor environment into an indoor neutral room through a transition space.

A carboxymethyl cellulose-based pH-responsive chlorine dioxide release film for strawberry preservation.

Fruit spoilage caused by microorganisms results in huge economic losses and health risks worldwide every year. To develop an intelligent antimicrobial material capable of responding to the physiological activity of postharvest fruits and releasing antibacterial agents on demand, we fabricated a pH-responsive film for the release of chlorine dioxide (ClO) using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and sodium chlorite (NaClO) via the solution casting method, with a CMC:NaClO ratio of 1:2 w/w. An acid environment simulated by 4 % acetic acid activated 43 % of ClO released by the film within 7 days.

Ginsenoside Rh2 promotes cell apoptosis in T-cell acute lymphocytic leukaemia by MAPK and PI3K/AKT signalling pathways.

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) is a common childhood malignant tumour, which has poor prognosis and high recurrence rate. Ginsenoside Rh2 (GRh2), a bioactive ingredient of has significant anti-tumour effect. In this study, we found that gene expressions of Jurkat cells were significantly changed in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signalling pathways after 35 µm GRh2 treatment, involving in JUN, PIEN, AKT3 and MAPK8IP2.

Downregulation of the DNA replication pathway genes stimulate reproductive diapause preparation in the cabbage beetle, Colaphellus bowringi.

Diapause is a prevalent strategy employed by insects to survive adverse environmental conditions, by halting development and reducing metabolic activity. Although the suppression of DNA replication aligns logically with these reduced developmental and physiological activities, the role of DNA replication in regulating insect diapause remains largely unknown. In this study, we used the cabbage beetle, Colaphellus bowringi, to investigate the role of DNA replication pathway in regulating reproductive diapause.

Human toxicity of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and their derivatives: A comprehensive review.

Polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been pervasively used as an additive flame retardant in various fields. The nature of environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, and potential toxicity attracted attention worldwide and became a threat to both the ecosystem and human health. Originally, PBDEs are produced in chemical factories.

Ilizarov technique for treatment of a giant aneurysmal bone cyst at the distal femur: A case report.

Background: Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign cystic of unknown etiology, characterized by multiple chambers and a high recurrence rate.

Magnetic-gold nanoparticle-mediated paper-based biosensor for highly sensitive colorimetric detection of food adulteration.

Food adulteration presents a significant challenge due to the evasion of legal oversight and the difficulty of identification. Addressing this issue, there is an urgent need for on-site, rapid, visually based small-scale equipment, along with large-scale screening technology, to enable prompt results without providing opportunities for dishonest traders to react. Colorimetric reactions offer advantages in terms of speed, visualization, and miniaturization.
