Introduction: Straw phonation therapy, a form of semi-occluded vocal tract (SOVT) exercise, is commonly used to help treat various voice disorders. Although straw phonation therapy has been studied extensively for decades, the impact of straw depth on vocal function remains unexplored. This study aims to quantify the effects of various straw vocal tract insertion depths (VTID) into the vocal tract on common aerodynamic parameters such as phonation threshold pressure (PTP), phonation threshold flow (PTF), and phonation threshold power (PTW) in an ex vivo canine model.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal tumor of the digestive tract, often accompanied by a high risk of recurrence and drug resistance. Huaier (Trametes robiniophila Murr), a traditional Chinese medicinal fungus, has demonstrated potent anticancer properties and is widely used as an adjuvant treatment for liver, breast, gastric, colon, and non-small cell lung cancers. However, its effects and molecular mechanisms in GIST remain unclear.

Mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis play crucial roles in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) following heart transplantation. Microsomal glutathione s transferase 1 (MGST1) is widely distributed in mitochondria and has a protective effect against ferroptosis, and its involvement in myocardial I/R injury has not yet been elucidated. In this study, donor hearts from C57BL/6 male mice were subjected to 12 h of ex-vivo cold ischemia treatment and transplanted into the abdomen of recipient mice for 24 h of reperfusion.

Bisphenol F (BPF) has become a new risk factor for male semen quality, but its specific mechanism is still unclear. Therefore, this study explored the potential mechanism of BPF affecting male semen quality from the perspective of ferroptosis and m6A RNA methylation. In vivo experiments showed that BPF destroyed the structure of seminiferous tubules, reduced the layers of spermatogenic cells, and reduced semen quality in mice.

Background: Photoimmunotherapy (PIT) is a potent modality for cancer treatment. The conventional PIT regimen involves the systemic delivery of an antibody-photoabsorber conjugate, followed by a 24-h waiting period to ensure adequate localisation on the target cells. Subsequent exposure to near-infrared (NIR) light selectively damages the target cells.
