Comparing the Efficacy of Empirical Anti-Infective Therapy and Follow-Up Observation for Newly Diagnosed Pulmonary Ground-Glass Nodules With Suspected Inflammatory Etiology: A Multicenter Prospective Observational Study Protocol.

Background And Aims: The optimal management strategy for newly diagnosed pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs) with suspected inflammatory etiology remains controversial in clinical practice. Empirical anti-inflammatory therapy is commonly used, but its efficacy compared with that of follow-up observation lacks high-quality evidence. Therefore, this study aims to compare the effectiveness of empirical anti-infective therapy and follow-up observation for pulmonary GGNs in real-world settings.

Efficacy of a patient with scar constitution combined with corrosive esophageal strictures after different endoscopic therapies.

Oral corrosive substances can cause esophageal or gastrointestinal strictures, leading to malnutrition and gastrointestinal dysfunction, directly affecting the patients' quality of life. The aim of the case was to compare the efficacy of different endoscopic therapy methods.

A generic and non-enzymatic electrochemical biosensor integrated molecular beacon-like catalyzed hairpin assembly circuit with MOF@Au@G-triplex/hemin nanozyme for ultrasensitive detection of miR-721.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been extensively studied as circulating biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis of many human diseases. However, it has been found challenging to accurately detect and quantify the trace amounts of miRNAs in biological samples. Herein, we propose a generic and non-enzymatic electrochemical strategy integrated molecular beacon-like catalyzed hairpin assembly (mCHA) circuit with MOF@Au@G-triplex/hemin nanozyme for ultrasensitive detection of miR-721 (a novel diagnostic biomarker of acute myocarditis).
