Background: Recent observations raised concern that the intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) may result in damage to stroke patients caused by small artery occlusion (SAO). Thus, we perform a protocol for meta-analysis to investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis with rt-PA in SAO-patients.

Methods: The search-style electronic libraries, including Pubmed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Wanfang Data, VIP Chinese Journals, and China Biomedical Literature Service System are used for document retrieval in June 2021 with no restrictions on language. The risk of bias in include articles will be assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. We perform the meta-analysis by Stata version 10.0 software and calculated the statistics using the inverse variance statistical method. Binary outcomes are presented as Mantel-Haenszel-style risk ratios with 95% confidence interval. Continuous outcomes are reported as mean differences.

Results: The results of the article will be shown in a peer-reviewed journal.

Conclusion: Intravenous rt-PA may be effective and safe in SAO-patients.

Background: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) therapy is a novel approach for treating COPD. However, the difficulty in engraftment and easy clearance of BMSCs in vivo has hindered their clinical application. Hence, exploring effective methods to improve the engraftment and differentiation rates of BMSCs in vivo is urgent.

High BMP7 Expression May Worsen Airway Disease in COPD by Altering Epithelial Cell Behavior.

Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis

January 2025

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Qilu Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong, People's Republic of China.

Purpose: Airway disease is the main pathological basis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP7) is a multi-functional growth factor that belongs to the transforming growth factor superfamily, which affects the regulation of proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Previous research has shown that BMP7 is highly expressed in the airway epithelia of patients with COPD, but its role in airway disease has not been fully elucidated.

Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease affecting a significant portion of the global population, whose etiology can be attributed to the protozoan organism Toxoplasma gondii. Despite its public health importance, an efficacious vaccine to prevent human toxoplasmosis remains unavailable. To this end, we designed an experimental toxoplasmosis vaccine using recombinant vaccinia virus vectors (rVacv) expressing the T.
