Construction of the miRNA/Pyroptosis-Related Molecular Regulatory Axis in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: Evidence From Transcriptome Data Combined With Multiple Machine Learning Approaches Followed by Experiment Validation.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) represents a permanent and localized widening of the abdominal aorta, posing a potentially lethal risk of aortic rupture. Several recent studies have highlighted the role of pyroptosis, a pro-inflammatory programed cell death, as critical molecular regulators in AAA occurrence, progression, and rupture. However, the potential effects of pyroptosis in AAA and its upstream microRNA (miRNA) have not been comprehensively clarified.

The suppression of cervical cancer ferroptosis by macrophages: The attenuation of ALOX15 in cancer cells by macrophages-derived exosomes.

Induction of cancer cell ferroptosis has been proposed as a potential treatment in several cancer types. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a key role in promoting tumor malignant progression and therapy resistance. However, the roles and mechanisms of TAMs in regulating tumor ferroptosis is still unexplored and remains enigmatic.

Case Report: Adult degenerative scoliosis in two patients treated with percutaneous spinal endoscopic-assisted lumbar interbody fusion and percutaneous pedicle screw fixation.

Adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS) is a serious disease that often affects middle-aged and elderly people. ADS does not only cause sagittal and coronal deformity of the lumbar spine but also causes severe back and leg pain secondary to the compression of the neural structures. Open surgery remains the main method for correcting the occurring deformity and decompression of the neural structures; however, its benefit is limited in cases of large trauma.
