Article Abstract
There is accumulating evidence that individuals with schizophrenia show altered levels of thyroid hormones. However, a qualitative and quantitative synthesis of findings in this field has not been performed so far. Therefore, we aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies investigating the levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (fT4), total thyroxine (tT4), free triiodothyronine (fT3) and total triiodothyronine (tT3) in multiple-episode schizophrenia (MES) and first-episode psychosis (FEP). Electronic databases were searched from their inception until 30th May 2020 by two independent reviewers. Random-effects meta-analyses and meta-regression analyses were performed. Altogether, 19 studies were included. Persons with FEP had significantly lower TSH levels (5 studies, g = -0.26, 95%CI: -0.47 to -0.06, p = 0.013, I = 21.3%), higher fT4 levels (3 studies, g = 0.58, 95%CI: 0.15-1.01, p = 0.008, I = 64.6%) and lower tT3 levels (2 studies, g = -0.60, 95%CI: -0.82 to -0.37, p < 0.001, I = 0%) compared to controls. Elevated TSH levels were found in persons with MES (13 studies, g = 0.20, 95%CI: 0.02-0.39, p = 0.031, I = 50.0%). Our findings imply that the levels of TSH might be decreased in persons with FEP and increased in those with MES. Other alterations need to be confirmed by additional studies. These findings imply the need to monitor the levels of TSH and thyroid hormones from the onset of psychosis.

Orchestrated desaturation reprogramming from stearoyl-CoA desaturase to fatty acid desaturase 2 in cancer epithelial-mesenchymal transition and metastasis.

Background: Adaptative desaturation in fatty acid (FA) is an emerging hallmark of cancer metabolic plasticity. Desaturases such as stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) and fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2) have been implicated in multiple cancers, and their dominant and compensatory effects have recently been highlighted. However, how tumors initiate and sustain their self-sufficient FA desaturation to maintain phenotypic transition remains elusive.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most pervasive sort of lung cancer with deadly outcome. According to recent studies, a number of neoplastic disorders and ferroptosis are intimately connected. This study aims to identify the role of key ferroptosis-related gene (protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2, PRKAA2) and explore new directions for the diagnosis and treatment of NSCLC.

Background: Dance has emerged as a complementary treatment that may promote adaptive neural plasticity while improving symptoms of Parkinson disease (PD), such as balance, gait, posture, and walking. Understanding brain changes that arise from participation in dance interventions is important as these neural plastic changes play an important role in protecting and healing the brain. Although dance has been shown to improve PD motor and nonmotor symptoms, the neural mechanisms underlying these changes, specifically depression and mood, remain elusive.

Methods: A total of 128 patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery were randomly divided into the control group (group C), the PEEP group (group P), the BRS group (group B), and the BRS combined with the PEEP group (group BP). The results of arterial blood gas analysis, including pH value, base excess (BE), concentrations of electrolyte, and lactate (Lac) were documented before intravenous infusion (T0) and 5 min after the surgery (T1).

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the genetic etiology in an infertile patient presenting with consistently elevated progesterone levels.
Methods: Genomic DNA was extracted from the patient's blood sample and subjected to whole-genome sequencing (NGS) using the Illumina NovaSeq platform. Bioinformatic analyses were conducted to identify single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and insertion-deletion mutations (Indels) potentially associated with the patient's clinical phenotype.
