Epidemiologically, metabolic disorders have garnered much attention, perhaps due to the predominance of obesity. The early postnatal life represents a critical period for programming multifactorial metabolic disorders of adult life. Though altricial rodents are prime subjects for investigating neonatal programming, there is still no sufficiently generalised literature on their usage and methodology. This review focuses on establishing five approach-based models of neonatal rodents adopted for studying metabolic phenotypes. Here, some modelled interventions that currently exist to avoid or prevent metabolic disorders are also highlighted. We also bring forth recommendations, guidelines and considerations to aid research on neonatal programming. It is hoped that this provides a background to researchers focused on the aetiology, mechanisms, prevention and treatment of metabolic disorders.

Erlotinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), is currently used in the therapy of several solid malignancies. This agent has been associated with several dermatological side-effects, the most common being papulo-pustular acneiform rash. Herein we describe a unique skin effect in a patient treated with erlotinib for non-small cell lung cancer.

XGBoost-based nomogram for predicting lymph node metastasis in endometrial carcinoma.

December 2024

Department of Reproductive Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital, Jinan University Guangzhou 510000, Guangdong, China.

This study aims to construct and optimize risk prediction models for lymph node metastasis (LNM) in endometrial carcinoma (EC) patients, thus improving the identification of patients at high risk of LNM and further providing accurate support for clinical decision-making. This retrospective analysis included 541 cases of EC treated at The First Affiliated Hospital, Jinan University between January 2017 and January 2022. Various clinical and pathological variables were incorporated, including age, body mass index (BMI), pathological grading, myometrial invasion, lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) levels, and tumor size.

Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) are indispensable immunosuppressants for transplant recipients and patients with autoimmune diseases, but chronic use causes nephrotoxicity, including kidney fibrosis. Why inhibiting calcineurin, a serine/threonine phosphatase, causes kidney fibrosis remains unknown. We performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing of the kidney from a chronic CNI nephrotoxicity mouse model and found an increased proportion of injured proximal tubule cells, which exhibited altered expression of genes associated with oxidative phosphorylation, cellular senescence and fibrosis.

Flaxseed and olive oil effectively treat numerous diseases and health conditions, particularly metabolic disorders. Traditional medicine has used both oils for managing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, gastrointestinal dysfunctions, metabolic-dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), obesity, and more. This review explores the bioactive and polyphenolic compounds in flaxseed and olive oils that provide anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-microbial, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, antidiabetic, and gastroprotective benefits.

Hepatic steatosis/non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a major public health delinquent caused by the excess deposition of lipid into lipid droplets (LDs) as well as metabolic dysregulation. Hepatic cells buildup with more fat molecules when a person takes high fat diet that is excessive than the body can handle. At present, millions of people in the world are affected by this problem.
