The H9N2 subtype of avian influenza viruses (AIVs) is widely prevalent in poultry and wild birds globally, with occasional transmission to humans. In comparison to other H9N2 lineages, the BJ/94 lineage has raised more public health concerns; however, its evolutionary dynamics and transmission patterns remain poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrate that over three decades (1994-2023), BJ/94 lineage has undergone substantial expansion in its geographical distribution, interspecies transmission, and viral reassortment with other AIV subtypes, increasing associated public health risks.

Diabetic nephropathy is an important complication of diabetic microvascular injury, and it is also an important cause of end-stage renal disease. Its high prevalence and disability rate significantly impacts patients' quality of life while imposing substantial social and economic burdens. Gut microbiota affects host metabolism, multiple organ functions, and regulates host health throughout the life cycle.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a metabolic bone disease driven by estrogen deficiency, primarily manifesting as reduced bone mass and heightened fracture risk. Its development is intricately linked to the balance between Th17 and Treg cells. Recent studies have highlighted the significant role of gut homeostasis in PMOP.

Microglial-mediated neuroinflammation is crucial in the pathophysiological mechanisms of secondary brain injury (SBI) following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Mitochondria are central regulators of inflammation, influencing key pathways such as alternative splicing, and play a critical role in cell differentiation and function. Mitochondrial ATP synthase coupling factor 6 (ATP5J) participates in various pathological processes, such as cell proliferation, migration, and inflammation.

Emergency departments (EDs) encounter substantial challenges during peak vacation periods, including increased patient volumes, limited access to medical histories, language and cultural barriers, insurance complexities, and disruptions in continuity of care. These factors strain emergency department operations, resulting in prolonged wait times, diagnostic errors, and compromised care quality. This study reviews the literature to identify patient satisfaction indicators and common challenges and evaluate strategies to improve patient outcomes during vacation-related emergency department visits.
