Lung cancer (LC) is the predominant cause of cancer-related fatalities globally, with the highest death rates in both genders, primarily attributed to smoking. The non-kinase transmembrane cell surface glycoprotein, CD44, enhances LC cell migration and invasion, leading to drug resistance and an unfavorable prognosis. This research formulated a cisplatin-loaded gold nanoshell (HCP@GNS) integrated with hyaluronan (HCP@GNS@HA) to enhance targeting capability and realize a synergistic effect of chemo-photothermal therapy (chemo-PTT) against LC.

Nonylphenol (NP), a ubiquitous environmental contaminant used as a surfactant in industrial production and classified as an endocrine disruptor, could interfere hormone secretion and exhibit neurotoxicity in organisms. Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR), one of the most frequently observed congenital malformations of the digestive system, arises mainly due to the failure of enteric neural crest cells to migrate to the distal colon during embryonic development. However, the effects of NP exposure on HSCR are largely unknown.

Introduction And Importance: A traumatic arteriovenous fistula (TAVF) is a vascular injury where an artery and a vein become abnormally connected. Although endovascular intervention is often the first choice for TAVF, some special cases still require open surgery.
Case Presentation: A 65-year-old man developed a chronic AVF in the lower superficial femoral artery (SFA) one year after a farming accident.

The interest in chemical interactions between inorganic sulfur species and heme compounds has grown significantly in recent years due to their physiological relevance. The model system ferric N-acetyl microperoxidase 11 (NAcMP11Fe) enables the exploration of the mechanistic aspects of the interaction between the ferric heme group and binding sulfur ligands, without the constraints imposed by a protein matrix and the stabilizing effects of distal amino acids. In this study, we investigated the coordination of disulfane (HSSH) and its conjugate base hydrodisulfide (HSS) to NAcMP11Fe.

Introduction: In asymptomatic subjects, variations of sagittal alignment parameters according to age and pelvic incidence (PI) has been reported. The aim of this observational study was to describe thoraco-lumbar sagittal alignment in patients with degenerative scoliosis and to compare them to asymptomatic individuals, seeking for the specific effect of deformity in similar age and PI groups.
Materials And Methods: Full spine radiographs of 235 asymptomatic subjects and 243 scoliosis patients were analyzed: cervico-thoracic inflexion point (CTIP), thoraco-lumbar inflexion point (TLIP), lumbar lordosis (LL) L1-S1, LL (TLIP-S1), LL superior arch (TLIP-lumbar apex), LL inferior arch (lumbar apex-S1), PI, thoracic kyphosis (TK) T5-T12, TK T1-T12, number of vertebrae CTIP-TLIPandTLIP-S1.
