Objective: To introduce our novel technique for myometrial defect closure after adenomyomectomy.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study. A total of 40 patients with adenomyosis who visited our clinic between October 2012 and January 2018 were recruited. Of those 34 patients were eligible for analysis.
Results: The mean thickness of the affected uterine wall before surgery was 4.02 cm ± 1.11, dropping to 2.37 cm ± 0.84 postoperatively. This led to a mean drop of 41% in the thickness of the affected wall, which was found to be significant using a paired t-test (p < 0.0001). The mean preoperative pain score was 8.68 ± 1.12, while the postoperative mean was 0.06 ± 0.34. The mean preoperative CA 125 was 121.73 ± 117.29, dropping to 6.95 ± 2.60 postoperatively. This was found to be significantly lower using both the Wilcoxon Signed Rank and Sign tests (p = 0.0156).
Conclusion: Myometrial defect closure in a layer-by-layer fashion after robot-assisted laparoscopic adenomyomectomy is a reproducible technique. This uterine conserving method was effective in reducing our patients' pain. It may be the solution to maintaining adequate myometrial wall thickness, uterine layer alignment, and endometrial integrity.

Background: Exosomes, which carry bioactive RNAs, proteins, lipids, and metabolites, have emerged as novel diagnostic markers and therapeutic agents for heart failure (HF). This study aims to elucidate the trends, key contributors, and research hotspots of exosomes in HF.
Methods: We collected publications related to exosomes in HF from the Web of Science Core Collection.
Effect of Ozoralizumab Administration with or without Methotrexate in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Post-Hoc Analysis.

Introduction: Ozoralizumab (OZR) is a novel tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor that was launched in Japan for treating patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have had an inadequate response to existing therapies. This post-hoc analysis aimed to compare the efficacy of OZR administered without methotrexate (MTX) with placebo or OZR administration in combination with MTX.
Methods: We analyzed the OZR group (30 mg) in the NATSUZORA trial (non-MTX, open trial) (OZR group; n = 94) and the placebo group (MTX group; n = 75) and the 30-mg OZR group (OZR + MTX group; n = 152) in the OHZORA trial (combined MTX, double-blind trial), and the covariates were adjusted by propensity score matching.
Monolayer MoS with S vacancy defects doped with Group V non-metallic elements (N, P, As): a first-principles study.
J Mol Model
January 2025
Nanjing Hydraulic Research Institute, Shanghai, China.
Context: This study systematically investigated the effects of single S-atom vacancy defects and composite defects (vacancy combined with doping) on the properties of MoS using density functional theory. The results revealed that N-doped S-vacancy MoS has the smallest composite defect formation energy, indicating its highest stability. Doping maintained the direct band gap characteristic, with shifts in the valence band top.

A novel aerobic marine bacterium, FRT2, isolated from surface water of a fishing port in Fukui, Japan, was characterised based on phylogenomic and phylogenetic analyses combined with classical phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characterisations. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain FRT2 clustered with genus Leeuwenhoekiella. Closest relatives of FRT2 were Leeuwenhoekiella palythoae KMM 6264 and Leeuwenhoekiella nanhaiensis G18 with 16S rRNA gene sequence identities of 95.
