Primary breast lymphoma in males: Incidence, demographics, prognostic factors, survival, and comparisons with females.

Background: Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is a rare disease condition and is mainly observed in females. No male PBL cohorts were reported previously. This study aims to investigate the incidence, clinical characteristics, prognostic factors, and survival outcomes among male PBL patients and also to perform comparisons between males and females.

Silencing Cardiac Troponin I-Interacting Kinase Reduces Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Sepsis-Induced Myocardial Dysfunction in Rat by Regulating Apoptosis-Related Proteins.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cardiac troponin I-interacting kinase () on sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD) and further explore the underlying molecular mechanisms. In this study, a lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) induced myocardial injury model was used. qRT-PCR was performed to detect the mRNA expression of .

miR-429 inhibits osteosarcoma progression by targeting HOXA9 through suppressing Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most commonly diagnosed malignant cancer of bone that occurs in adolescents and children. Mounting number of studies have indicated that miRNAs are increasingly playing fundamental roles in OS development. Thus, the biological function of miR-429 in OS progression was explored.

MicroRNA-744 promotes carcinogenesis in osteosarcoma through targeting LATS2.

Osteosarcoma (OS) mortality rate is increasing. Various microRNAs (miRNAs) have been investigated in the pathological process of OS except for miR-744. Hence, this research was designed to explore miR-744 function in OS.

Sagittal Atlantoaxial Joint Inclination and Reduction Index Values for Diagnosis and Treatment of Irreducible Atlantoaxial Dislocation.

Background: Irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation (IAAD) is a disorder of atlantoaxial joint instability with various causes. The diagnostic criteria for IAAD are variable. The diagnosis of IAAD is mainly based on preoperative and intraoperative traction results, as well as the physician's experience, with no relatively uniform guidelines for the selection of treatment.

Combined treatment of diabetic nephropathy with alprostadil and calcium dobesilate.

This study investigated the effects of alprostadil combined with calcium dobesilate on the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. We recruited 80 patients with diabetic nephropathy, who were randomly divided into experimental (n=40) and control (n=40) groups. Patients received high-quality low-protein diabetic diet intervention and subcutaneous injection of insulin to adjust blood glucose, combined with antihypertensive, antiplatelet drugs, and other comprehensive treatments.
