Background: Autosomal recessive cutis laxa type 1B (ARCL1B) is an extremely rare disease characterized by severe systemic connective tissue abnormalities, including cutis laxa, aneurysm and fragility of blood vessels, birth fractures and emphysema. The severity of this disease ranges from perinatal death to manifestations compatible with survival. To date, no cases have been reported in the Chinese population.

Background: Hemophilia B is a rare bleeding disorder in males, characterized by a deficiency in coagulation factor IX (FIX). Replacement of FIX with a recombinant FIX (rFIX) fusion protein, to sustain therapeutic plasma levels, is recommended as both treatment and prophylaxis to prevent bleeding episodes, particularly intracranial hemorrhage (ICH).

Case Presentation: This case report outlines the management of ICH in a 7-month-old infant with severe hemophilia B, following an accidental trauma-related event, resulting in a thin compound fracture of the left occiput.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent irreversible neurodegenerative condition marked by gradual cognitive deterioration and neuronal loss. The mammalian Ste20-like kinase (MST1)-Hippo pathway is pivotal in regulating cell apoptosis, immune response, mitochondrial function, and oxidative stress. However, the association between MST1 and mitochondrial function in AD remains unknown.

It is well known that the development of neurodegeneration, and especially Alzheimer's disease (AD), is often accompanied by impaired olfaction which precedes memory loss. A neuropeptidase neprilysin (NEP)-a principal amyloid-degrading enzyme in the brain-was also shown to be involved in olfactory signalling. Previously we have demonstrated that 5xFAD mice develop olfactory deficit by the age of 6 months which correlated with reduced NEP expression in the brain areas involved in olfactory signalling.

A growing number of studies show that the diabetes drug Semaglutide is neuroprotective in Alzheimer's disease (AD) animal models, but its mode of action is not fully understood. In order to explore the mechanism of Semaglutide, 7-month-old APP/PS1/tau transgenic (3xTg) mice and wild-type (WT) mice were randomly divided into four groups: control group (WT + PBS), AD model group (3xTg + PBS), Semaglutide control group (WT + Semaglutide) and Semaglutide treatment group (3xTg + Semaglutide). Semaglutide (25 nmol/kg) or PBS was administered intraperitoneally once every two days for 30 days, followed by behavioral and molecular experiments.
