The count rate in the peak of a gamma-ray spectrum at 2223 keV was measured over a period of 25 years. The peak is produced by neutron capture on hydrogen, a constituent of the spectrometer's shield. Since the neutrons are produced by cosmic rays, the count rate in the peak is correlated with the solar activity via the interaction between the solar wind and the cosmic rays. The correlation between the total daily number of sunspots, as a measure of the solar activity, and the count rate in the peak was investigated as a function of the time shift between the time dependence of the count rate in the peak and the time dependence of the total daily number of sunspots. Variations of the correlation coefficient as a function of the shift are discussed in terms of phenomena occurring on the surface of the Sun. The variations indicate a long-term correlation, corresponding to the 11-year solar cycle, and a short-term correlation, corresponding to the sunspots.

Background: With the increasing number of oncology cases and a parallel surge in chemotherapeutic drugs for treatment, the treating physicians conducts nephrotoxicity evaluation to provide a personalized dosing strategy. Of the various tests available, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) under gamma camera with help of Gates method has gained importance, being a good index of overall kidney functions. In addition to this, there has been an alternate and old method for GFR estimation: plasma sampling.

Background: A novel anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) GQ1001 was assessed in patients with previously treated HER2 positive advanced solid tumors in a global multi-center phase Ia dose escalation trial.
Methods: In this phase Ia trial, a modified 3 + 3 study design was adopted during dose escalation phase. Eligible patients were enrolled, and GQ1001 monotherapy was administered intravenously every 3 weeks.

Background: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is beneficial for managing rosacea, and chlorin e6 derivative-mediated photodynamic therapy (STBF-PDT) has demonstrated efficacy in reducing acne lesions with mild adverse reactions.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of STBF-PDT for the treatment of moderate-to-severe rosacea.
Methods: In this prospective, randomised, evaluator-blind controlled study, patients with moderate-to-severe rosacea were assigned to receive up to six STBF-PDT sessions or 100 mg of doxycycline daily for eight weeks, followed by a 24-week follow-up.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a hematologic malignancy that presents a unique opportunity for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to demonstrate its distinctive value in treatment. Realgar, a component of TCM, has shown notable potential in alleviating clinical symptoms and improving the prognosis of MDS patients. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the treatment of MDS with realgar, particularly its effects on apoptosis-related pathways, remain poorly understood.
