AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed readmission rates and costs for patients with aorto-iliac occlusive disease (AIOD) who underwent either aorto-bifemoral bypass (ABF) or covered kissing stent (CKS) procedures from May 2008 to February 2018.
- It found that readmission rates were similar for both procedures (ABF at 16%, CKS at 18%), with the primary cause being prosthesis limb or stent occlusion.
- Although the CKS group showed a trend toward higher readmission and treatment costs, the ABF group experienced a longer time before readmission (35 months compared to 13.5 months for CKS).
Article Abstract
Readmissions rates and costs were analysed over follow-up for patients who underwent open or endovascular procedures for aorto-iliac occlusive disease (AIOD). Patients who underwent aorto-bifemoral bypass (ABF) or covered kissing stent (CKS) for AIOD from May 2008 to February 2018 were compared in terms of readmission rates, related costs expressed in EUR, freedom from generic readmission (FFGR), and freedom from readmission for surgical reasons (FFRS). ABF had a readmission rate of 16% and CKS of 18% ( = 0.999). The most common cause of readmission was prosthesis limb or stent occlusion. Time to readmission was longer for ABF (35 months [21-82] vs. 13.5 months [1-68.7] in the CKS group, = 0.334). CKS group had higher cumulative re-hospitalisation, ICU stay, and reintervention costs (11569 ± 2216 SEM, 2405 ± 1125, 5264 ± 1230, respectively) and a trend for more readmissions in the first 36 months, without reaching significance. This study reports on a period of time exceeding ninety days. Even if not reaching significance, the CKS group presented a higher trend in readmissions till 36 months and a higher trend in readmission costs, while time-to-readmission was longer in the ABF group.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been widespread for over four years and has progressed to an endemic stage. Accordingly, the evaluation of host immunity in infected patients and the development of markers for prognostic prediction in the early stages have been emphasized. Soluble immune checkpoints (sICs), which regulate T cell activity, have been reported as promising biomarkers of viral infections.

Background: Omicron sub-variants breakthrough infections (BTIs) have led to millions of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases worldwide. The acute-phase immune status is critical for prognosis, however, the dynamic immune profiling of COVID-19 during the first month after BTIs remains unclear.
Methods: In this study, we monitored the immune dynamics at various timepoints in a longitudinal cohort during the first month post-BTIs through clinical evaluation, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), T cell receptor (TCR)/B cell receptor (BCR) sequencing, and antibody mass spectrometry.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify differences in serum protein levels between adult and juvenile dermatomyositis (DM and JDM) patients compared to healthy controls to find potential biomarkers for disease activity.
- A multiplex immunoassay was used to analyze serum protein expression from 17 active DM and JDM patients, revealing 78 out of 172 proteins were differentially expressed, with specific proteins highlighted for each patient group.
- The analysis showed activated signaling pathways in both DM and JDM, with several proteins correlating with disease activity, suggesting potential candidates for monitoring the condition's severity.
Involvement of Sex Hormones and Their Receptors in the Pathogenesis of Classic Kaposi's Sarcoma in Xinjiang.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the expression of androgen receptors (AR) and estrogen receptors (ER) in classic Kaposi's sarcoma (CKS) patients in Xinjiang, focusing on their serum sex hormone levels to identify new diagnostic and therapeutic targets for CKS.
- - Among the 35 CKS patients and the control group of 35 pyogenic granuloma (PG) patients, AR expression was weak across both groups, while ER expression was significantly higher in the CKS group, and testosterone levels were elevated in CKS patients compared to the PG group.
- - The findings suggest a link between sex hormones and the development of CKS, indicating that therapies targeting ER could be a promising new direction for treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Cytokinins (CKs) are essential phytohormones in plants, influencing growth, development, and disease resistance, with IPT and CKX being key enzymes in their biosynthesis and degradation.
- The study identified and characterized 13 IPT and 12 CKX genes in radish, revealing that these genes have duplications and contain elements responsive to hormones and stress.
- Results showed that some genes are heavily involved in clubroot disease resistance, particularly in resistant radish materials, highlighting their potential for improving disease resistance through further research.
