The Association between Vitamin D Deficiency and Perinatal Depression: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: To conduct a meta-analysis on the connection between vitamin D deficiency and perinatal depression.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across several databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and VIP database. Two reviewers independently assessed the risk of bias in articles using the Cochrane collaboration's tool, with analysis performed via RevMan software.

Bibliometric analysis of nurses' moral distress research.

Objective: To identify the research status of nurses' moral distress and predict emerging research hotspots and development trends.

Methods: Articles on nurses' moral distress were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database from the inception of the database to 2024. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer and CiteSpace software to analyze publication distributions by country, institution, journal, author contributions, keyword trends, and reference co-citations.

Scutellarin inhibits oleic acid induced vascular smooth muscle foam cell formation via activating autophagy and inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Abnormalities in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are pivotal in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular pathologies such as atherosclerosis and hypertension. Scutellarin (Scu), a flavonoid derived from marigold flowers, exhibits a spectrum of biological activities including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, immunomodulatory and antimicrobial effects. Notably, Scu has demonstrated the capacity to mitigate vascular endothelial damage and prevent atherosclerosis via its antioxidative properties.

Polygonal non-wetting droplets on microtextured surfaces.

Understanding the interactions between liquids and solids is important for many areas of science and technology. Microtextured surfaces have been extensively studied in microfluidics, DNA technologies, and micro-manufacturing. For these applications, the ability to precisely control the shape, size and location of the liquid via textured surfaces is of particular importance for the design of fluidic-based systems.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the CT imaging characteristics of infectious pneumonia.

Background: Since December 2019, there have been cases of infectious pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. On January 12, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) named it COVID-19. There are few studies on the clinical characteristics of patients with COVID-19, and results vary widely in sample sizes.

Effect of continuous nursing on angina attack and quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Coronary Artery Disease is an ischemic or necrotic heart disease caused by myocardial hypoxia caused by coronary artery stenosis or occlusion. The main symptoms are heart failure and recurrent angina pectoris. Continuous nursing refers to the nursing mode from in-hospital nursing to out-of-hospital nursing, including guiding patients' follow-up treatment and lifestyle, which can effectively improve the quality of life in patients with Coronary Artery Disease and reduce the number of angina attacks.

Antiproliferative effects of L-asparaginase in acute myeloid leukemia.

The antitumor enzyme L-asparaginase (L-Asp) has commonly been used for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. However, the effects of L-Asp on acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and their underlying mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. In the present study, the effects of L-Asp on cell proliferation and apoptosis were investigated using the AML cell lines U937, HL-60 and KG-1a.

A 3-O-methylated heterogalactan from Pleurotus eryngii activates macrophages.

Mushroom-derived polysaccharides exhibit various biological activities owing to their diverse structural features. Here, we purified a 3-O-methylated heterogalactan (WPEP-N-b, Mw 21.4 kDa) from the fruiting bodies of Pleurotus eryngii.

The impact of inflammation and cytokine expression of PM2.5 in AML.

Environmental and health issues have become a major focus of research worldwide in recent years. Particulate matter with diameter ≤2.5 µm (PM2.

Oxidative degradation of atenolol by heat-activated persulfate: Kinetics, degradation pathways and distribution of transformation intermediates.

Atenolol (ATL) has been widely detected in wastewater and aquatic environment. Although satisfactory removal of ATL from wastewater could be achieved, the mineralization ratio is usually low, which may result in the accumulation of its transformation products in the effluent and cause additional ecological risk to the environment. The aim of this study is to explore the effectiveness of heat activated persulfate (PS) in the removal of ATL from wastewater.

Nomograms for predicting the overall and cancer-specific survival of patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma: a SEER-based study.

The aim of this study was to establish nomograms, based on significant clinicopathologic parameters, for predicting the overall survival (OS) and the cancer-specific survival (CSS) of patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL). The data of 43,330 CHL patients, diagnosed between 1983 and 2014, were obtainedfrom the database of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program. These patients were randomly divided into training (n = 30,339) and validation (n = 12,991) cohorts.

Spontaneous splenic rupture in an acute leukemia patient with splenic tuberculosis: A case report.

Spontaneous splenic rupture, also referred to as atraumatic splenic rupture, is a rare but life-threatening emergency condition. Without timely diagnosis and treatment, the mortality rate of splenic rupture approaches 100%. The etiology of atraumatic splenic rupture varies; it is reportedly associated with neoplasms or splenic infection, but is rarely encountered in patients with both conditions.

[Influencing factors of renal function in hypertensive patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome].

Objective: To investigate the related factors of renal functions in hypertensive patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).

Methods: A total of 438 hypertensive patients with complain of snoring at night were enrolled in the study from the First teaching Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University during March 2011 and March 2014. The diagnosis of OSAHS was confirmed with polysomnography examination, and the patients were divided into 4 groups according to the apnea hypoventilation index (AHI): hypertensive group (AHI<10/h, n=102), mild OSAHS group (AHI 10-<15/h, n=97), moderate OSAHS group (AHI 15-<30/h, n=149), and severe OSAHS group (AHI≥30/h, n=90).

[Establishment and analysis of chronic periodontitis and atherosclerosis model in Wistar rat].

Objective: To investigate the possible correlation between atherosclerosis and chronic periodontitis by establishing an animal model of chronic periodontitis and atherosclerosis in Wistar rat.

Methods: Sixty male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: A (control group), B (chronic periodontitis group), C (atherosclerosis group), D (chronic periodontitis accompany with atherosclerosis group). Every group was accepted the corresponding treatment.
