Hearing loss is the most prevalent neurosensory disorder in humans, with significant implications for language, social and cognitive development if not diagnosed and treated early. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the rate of hearing screening pass and genetic screening failure [universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) pass/genetic failure] and to investigate the advantages of combining newborn hearing and genetic screening for newborn hearing impairment. The PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases were searched from inception to September 2023 to identify studies reporting the combination of neonatal hearing screening with genetic screening.

Article Synopsis
  • The study conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of fluorometric assays and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in diagnosing hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) in newborns, utilizing data from PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library.
  • The findings indicated that the positive predictive value (PPV) of HPA screening was significantly higher for MS/MS at 31.8% compared to 8.3% for fluorometric assays.
  • Additionally, the analysis revealed that most HPA patients had phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency (PAHD) at 88.65%, while only 12.43% had tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency (BH4D), highlighting

Epidemiological studies have recently shown that obesity increases lung cancer risk, but the underlying biological connection is unclear. To determine whether high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity influences the susceptibility to chemical-induced lung tumorigenesis, a HFD feeding condition was combined with a multi-dose urethane-induced lung tumorigenesis model using C57BL/6J mice. In cell culture models, lung cancer cell lines A549 and H460 were used to investigate the effect of leptin on cell viability and its underlying mechanism of action.

This study investigated the pathophysiological role of GRP78 in the survival of lung cancer cells. Lung cancer patient data from public databases were used to analyze the expression of GRP78 and its influence on prognoses. , GRP78 protein expression was analyzed in an established urethane-induced lung tumor mouse model.
