Corticosteroids are the standard first-line treatment for primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), with a high initial response but unsatisfactory sustained response (SR). Additionally, corticosteroids usually lead to hyperglycaemia especially in patients with pre-existing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Besides reducing the blood glucose levels, metformin was found to have immunomodulatory effects.

Background: To compare the efficacy of intramedullary nailing via the lateral parapatellar approach versus the infrapatellar approach in treating fractures at the tibial metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 45 patients with proximal or distal tibial fractures treated with intramedullary nailing via lateral parapatellar approach (n = 23) or infrapatellar approach (n = 22) between January 2019 and March 2023. We recorded and compared the operative time, intraoperative blood loss/fluoroscopies, success rate of closed reduction, anteroposterior and lateral entry point accuracy, postoperative infection, fracture healing time, as well as NRS pain scores, Lysholm knee function scores, and knee range of motion.

Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editors' attention by a concerned reader that the histological data shown in Fig. 7E were strikingly similar to data appearing in different form in an article written by different authors at different research institutes that had already been published in the journal . In view of the fact that the abovementioned data had already apparently been published prior to its submission to , the Editor has decided that this paper should be retracted from the Journal.

Unlabelled: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is an abnormal gynecological condition caused by the overgrowth of specific bacteria in the vagina. This study aims to develop a novel method for BV detection by integrating surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with machine learning (ML) algorithms. Vaginal fluid samples were classified as BV positive or BV negative using the BVBlue Test and clinical microscopy, followed by SERS spectral acquisition to construct the data set.

Identification of Alzheimer's disease susceptibility genes by integrating eight human brain single-cell transcriptomes with genome-wide association studies.

J Neurochem

January 2025

Beijing Institute of Brain Disorders, Laboratory of Brain Disorders, Ministry of Science and Technology, Collaborative Innovation Center for Brain Disorders, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.

To date, several studies have integrated genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data from bulk tissues to identify novel Alzheimer's disease (AD) genetic variants and susceptibility genes. However, there is highly cell-type-specific nature in different bulk eQTL data. Until now, eQTL data from different brain single cells have been reported.

Glycogen structure is closely associated with its physiological functions. Previous studies confirmed that liver glycogen structure had two dominant states: mainly stable during the day and largely fragile at night. However, the diurnal change of glycogen structure is impaired, with dominant fragility in diseased conditions such as diabetes mellitus and liver fibrosis.

Article Synopsis
  • - Bronchial artery-pulmonary artery fistula (BPF) is a rare blood vessel issue related to conditions like congenital heart disease and usually shows up in adulthood alongside hemoptysis (coughing up blood) as a symptom.
  • - Bronchial Dieulafoy disease (BDD) is another uncommon vascular anomaly involving an abnormal artery in the bronchial tree, often linked to chronic inflammation or injury.
  • - This report highlights a unique case where BPF and BDD occurred together in a patient with recurrent hemoptysis, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis through angiography and bronchoscopy to improve clinical understanding of these conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • The study compared freehand transperineal prostate biopsy (FTPB) and systematic transperineal prostate biopsy (STPB) in patients suspected of having prostate cancer, focusing on their effectiveness, safety, and tolerance.
  • Out of 218 patients evaluated, prostate cancer was detected in 129 individuals, with FTPB identifying fewer total cases but a higher rate of clinically significant prostate cancer.
  • The findings indicate that FTPB performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting is safe, well-tolerated, and serves as an effective alternative to STPB without the need for antibiotics.

  • The study investigates whether combining linear ablation and ethanol infusion of the vein of Marshall (EIVOM) with pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) improves maintenance of sinus rhythm in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF).
  • Conducted as the PROMPT-AF trial across 12 hospitals in China, it enrolled 498 patients, comparing outcomes between PVI alone and the combined approach.
  • Primary outcomes focused on the rate of freedom from atrial arrhythmias without antiarrhythmic drugs within a year, with various secondary outcomes related to arrhythmia recurrence and quality of life also assessed.

Objective: Intertrochanteric femur fractures are prevalent among the elderly, leading to substantial morbidity. Proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) is commonly used for internal fixation, but excessive lateral migration of the PFNA blade poses a significant complication. Understanding the risk factors for this complication is crucial for optimizing patient care.

Causal association between insulin sensitivity index and Alzheimer's disease.

J Neurochem

October 2024

Beijing Institute of Brain Disorders, Laboratory of Brain Disorders, Ministry of Science and Technology, Collaborative Innovation Center for Brain Disorders, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.

Evidence from observational and Mendelian randomization (MR) studies suggested that insulin resistance (IR) was associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the causal effects of different indicators of IR on AD remain inconsistent. Here, we aim to assess the causal association between the insulin sensitivity index (ISI), a measure of post-prandial IR, and the risk of AD.

Spinal Teratoma with Recurrent Epileptic Episodes in Adults: A Case Report.

Case Rep Neurol

September 2024

Department of Orthopedics Center, Affiliated Qingyuan Hospital, Qingyuan People's Hospital, The Sixth Clinical Medical School, Guangzhou Medical University, Qingyuan, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Spinal teratomas are a rare type of tumor, making up only about 0.2-0.5% of all spinal tumors and 2% of teratomas, and they typically do not cause epilepsy unless they rupture.
  • A case involving a 31-year-old male patient showed that a teratoma in the conus medullaris was linked to his epileptic seizures, which persisted despite treatment until surgical removal of the tumor.
  • Following surgery, the patient's seizures stopped, and the study suggests that spinal MRIs can assist in diagnosing unexplained seizures in patients with spinal deformities, improving outcomes with appropriate treatment.

Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Shengli Oilfield Central Hospital, No.31 Jinan Road, Dongying City, 257034, Shandong Province, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Tracheopericardial fistula (TPF) is a rare condition where lung disease forms a fistula between the trachea and the pericardial cavity, causing serious complications like pneumopericardium and potential cardiac issues.
  • A 72-year-old man with recurrent lung cancer presented symptoms such as chest pain and fever, leading to an ST-segment elevation on his ECG that initially resembled a heart attack.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed through advanced imaging techniques and bronchoscopy, highlighting the importance of recognizing TPF to avoid misdiagnosis in similar cases.
