DCBLD1 Modulates Angiogenesis by Regulation of the VEGFR-2 Endocytosis in Endothelial Cells.

Background: Unwanted angiogenesis is involved in the progression of various malignant tumors and cardiovascular diseases, and the factors that regulate angiogenesis are potential therapeutic targets. We tested the hypothesis that DCBLD1 (discoidin, CUB, and LCCL domain-containing protein 1) is a coreceptor of VEGFR-2 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2) and modulates angiogenesis in endothelial cells.

Methods: A carotid artery ligation model and retinal angiogenesis assay were used to study angiogenesis using globe knockout or endothelial cell-specific conditional knockout mice in vivo.

Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Vancomycin Based on Unbound Vancomycin Concentration Monitoring.

Objective: To monitor total trough concentration (Cmin_total) and unbound trough concentration (Cmin_free) of vancomycin in clinical samples and analyze the factors influencing them, and to assess their correlation with clinical efficacy and acute kidney injury (AKI).

Methods: Plasma samples were processed by protein precipitation, followed by hollow-fiber centrifugal ultrafiltration to separate unbound vancomycin from plasma. Thereafter, Cmin_total and Cmin_free were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography.

Early neurological deterioration with severe headache as the initial manifestation: A case report.

Severe headache as the initial clinical manifestation of early neurological deterioration (END) is uncommon. The emergence of severe headache should be promptly recognized as a potential indicator of large vessel stenosis. Here, we describe a male patient who initially presented with severe headache accompanied by transient left limb weakness, which subsequently progressed to persistent weakness.

ResNet-Vision Transformer based MRI-endoscopy fusion model for predicting treatment response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer: A multicenter study.

Background: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by radical surgery has been a common practice for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer, but the response rate varies among patients. This study aimed to develop a ResNet-Vision Transformer based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-endoscopy fusion model to precisely predict treatment response and provide personalized treatment.

Methods: In this multicenter study, 366 eligible patients who had undergone neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by radical surgery at eight Chinese tertiary hospitals between January 2017 and June 2024 were recruited, with 2928 pretreatment colonic endoscopic images and 366 pelvic MRI images.

Expert consensus on the off-label use in China of drugs for rare hematologic diseases (2024 edition).

Drug package inserts are a crucial foundation for clinical medication practices and serve as the legal basis for guiding rational drug use and ensuring patient safety and efficacy. As rare disease treatments evolve, current package inserts often need to meet the clinical requirements for treating such conditions, frequently resulting in off-label drug use. This consensus is derived from discussions between Guangdong Pharmaceutical Association Hematologic Rare Diseases Group experts.

MR study on white matter injury in patients with acute diquat poisoning.

Objective: To explore the microstructural damage of white matter in acute diquat (DQ) poisoning patients using diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and Tract-based Spatial Statistics (TBSS).

Methods: This study included 19 DQ poisoning patients and 19 age-matched controls. MRI was performed using a 3.

Effect of melatonin on gut microbiome and metabolomics in diabetic cognitive impairment.

Introduction: Diabetic cognitive impairment(DCI) presents as a central nervous complication of diabetes especially among aging population. Melatonin (MEL) is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammation effects in neuroprotective aspects. Recent evidence has demonstrated that the gut microbiome plays a key role in DCI by modulating cognitive function through the gut-brain crosstalk.

The association between the recurrence of atrial fibrillation and the shape of left atrial lateral ridge.

To investigate the role of the geometry of the left atrial lateral ridge (LLR) in the atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after radiofrequency ablation (RFA). A total of 225 patients with AF who underwent RFA for the first time were retrospectively enrolled and divided into the recurrence (n = 53) and non-recurrence (n = 172) groups. The clinical data and the volume of left atrium (LAV) and the LLR geometry were analyzed.

Trends and the Role of Gene-Environment Interactions in Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy in Northern China.

Examining the effectiveness of motor imagery combined with non-invasive brain stimulation for upper limb recovery in stroke patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.

Background: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) are common non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) methods for functional recovery after stroke. Motor imagery (MI) can be used in the rehabilitation of limb motor function after stroke, but its effectiveness remains to be rigorously established. Furthermore, there is a growing interest in the combined application of NIBS with MI, yet the evidence regarding its impact on the recovery of upper limb function after stroke is inconclusive.
