What Is Already Known About This Topic?: Monkeypox, first identified in Africa in 1958, is a zoonotic disease caused by monkeypox virus (MPXV). Since January 2022, a global outbreak of mpox has spread to over 100 non-endemic countries. As of June 30, 2024, there have been 99,176 confirmed cases and 535 probable cases across 116 countries, resulting in 208 deaths.
What Is Added By This Report?: This report presents an analysis of the whole genome sequences of seven MPXVs from Anhui Province. We discovered that, compared to the reference sequence (NC_063383.1), these genomes exhibit 91 nucleotide substitutions and 42 amino acid mutations. They are highly similar to genomes of MPXVs that emerged simultaneously in China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and Portugal, and are classified within the IIb C.1.1 lineage, with multiple transmission chains and no new branch.
What Are The Implications For Public Health Practice?: The MPXV in Anhui Province has undergone mutations in areas critical for viral replication, transcription, and immune escape, posing a risk of recurrent outbreaks. Therefore, vigilant mutation monitoring of MPXV is imperative.

Background: Brain stimulation therapy (BST) has significant potential in treating psychiatric, movement, and cognitive disorders. Given the high prevalence of comorbidities among these disorders, we conducted an umbrella review to comprehensively assess the efficacy of BSTs in treating the core symptoms across these three categories of disorders.
Methods: We systematically searched for meta-analyses and network meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials with sham controls up to September 25, 2024, from databases including PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, and the Cochrane Library.

Objective: This study evaluates whether Huangqin Qingre Chubi Capsule (HQC), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compound, is associated with the risk of re-admission in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
Methods: In this study, we retrospectively collected the clinical data of 1,296 AS patients. Patients were allocated into HQC and non-HQC groups.

Background: Complicated crown-root fracture (CRF) involves severe injury to the crown, root, and pulp, and may be accompanied by multiple root fractures. The loss of a tooth has lifelong consequences for children and teenagers, but the maintenance of pulp health and the calcific healing of multiple root fractures are rarely reported in the literature.
Case Summary: This case reports healing of a permanent tooth with complicated crown-root and additional root fractures, in which pulp health was maintained.

Background/objective: Considering the uncertain relationship between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and uric acid (UA) with diabetic retinopathy (DR),this study investigates the link between Uric Acid to High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (UHR) and DR in T2DM patients, evaluating its potential for DR diagnosis and early prediction.
Study Design And Data Collection: This retrospective study analyzed 1450 type 2 diabetes patients, divided into NDR and DR groups by retinal exams. We gathered demographic and clinical data, calculated UHR, and explored its correlation with DR development.

Introduction: Melatonin significantly enhances the tolerance of plants to biotic and abiotic stress, and plays an important role in plant resistance to salt stress. However, its role and molecular mechanisms in eggplant salt stress resistance have been rarely reported. In previous studies, we experimentally demonstrated that melatonin can enhance the salt stress resistance of eggplants.
