Article Synopsis
  • Developed a nomogram to predict the effectiveness of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for treating uterine fibroids by analyzing oxytocin levels and sonographic features of fibroids.
  • Conducted a retrospective study of 60 patients, utilizing logistic regression to identify key predictive factors like myoma type, blood flow, and oxytocin classification, resulting in a model assessed using R language.
  • The model demonstrated strong predictive ability with an area under the curve of 0.887 and good calibration, suggesting it can effectively guide clinicians in selecting appropriate patients for HIFU treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • Sepsis can harm the heart and heighten death risk; this study focuses on bisphosphoglycerate mutase (BPGM), a glycolytic pathway intermediate, as a potential indicator of cardiac injury and prognosis in infected patients.* -
  • Conducted with 85 sepsis patients, the study measured serum BPGM levels to categorize patients and utilized various analyses (like Kaplan-Meier) to assess survival rates and risk factors related to 28-day mortality.* -
  • Results indicated that higher BPGM levels in patients correlated with lower survival rates and were significant risk factors for mortality, while also showing relationships with cardiac function indicators like left ventricular ejection fraction.*

We developed a high-throughput bead-based suspension array for simultaneous detection of 20 respiratory tract pathogens in clinical specimens. Pathogen-specific genes were amplified and hybridized to probes coupled to carboxyl-encoded microspheres. Fluorescence intensities generated via the binding of phycoerythrin-conjugated streptavidin with biotin-labeled targets were measured by the Luminex 100 bead-based suspension array system.
