Background: This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of pancreatic duct stenting in the treatment of SAP, providing reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from patients with SAP admitted to the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from June 1, 2019 to December 31, 2022. A total of 51 patients were included (33 males, 18 females).
COVID-19 has spread worldwide and significantly influenced economies. Refeeding syndrome (RFS) is a potentially fatal abnormalities of electrolytes and fluid that can occur in malnourished patients undergoing mechanical refeeding. Herein, we report the case of a man in his 20s with a normal body mass index who presented with RFS and vitamin B1 deficiency.

Background: Refeeding syndrome (RFS) is a potentially life-threatening condition that can occur in preterm infants if nutritional support is initiated or increased after a period of starvation or malnutrition.
Objectives: The current study aimed to examine the short-term clinical outcomes of RFS in preterm infants born at ≤32 weeks of gestation.
Methods: Infants with a gestational age of ≤32 weeks and a birth weight of <1500 g who were born and admitted to the level III neonatal intensive care unit and received parenteral nutrition upon admission were retrospectively evaluated.

Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE) is a rare, life-threatening condition in which thiamine deficiency causes dysfunction of the Kreb's cycle, accumulation of lactic acid in the brain tissues, and irreversible cognitive impairment. Prompt treatment with IV thiamine can reverse the process. The classic Wernicke's triad of ataxia, memory issues, and ocular abnormalities is not often present.

Background: Estrogen secretion by the ovaries regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis during the reproductive cycle, influencing gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion, and also plays a role in regulating metabolism. Here, we establish that hypothalamic tanycytes-specialized glia lining the floor and walls of the third ventricle-integrate estrogenic feedback signals from the gonads and couple reproduction with metabolism by relaying this information to orexigenic neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurons.
Methods: Using mouse models, including mice floxed for Esr1 (encoding estrogen receptor alpha, ERα) and those with Cre-dependent expression of designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs), along with viral-mediated, pharmacological and indirect calorimetric approaches, we evaluated the role of tanycytes and tanycytic estrogen signaling in pulsatile LH secretion, cFos expression in NPY neurons, estrous cyclicity, body-weight changes and metabolic parameters in adult females.
