Analysis and Model Prediction of the Burden of Early-Onset Cancer Attributed to Overweight and Obesity in the Chinese Population From 1990 to 2021.

<0.001）.The age group of 30-34 years old in 2021 compared with 1990 saw the most significant increases （88.24% and 91.02%，respectively） in cancer mortality and DALY rates due to overweight and obesity.It was predicted that in the next 15 years，the age-standardized DALY rates...

Progress in Molecular Biological Mechanism of Endometrial Cancer Induced by Obesity.

Obesity is recognized as a major risk factor for endometrial cancer，and its tumor-promoting mechanisms have drawn increasing attention in recent years.Current evidence highlights that obesity drives the initiation and progression of endometrial cancer through three core pathways...

Ultrasound-Guided Peripheral Nerve Pulsed Radiofrequency Combined With Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome：Report of One Case.

Complex regional pain syndrome is a refractory disease characterized by complex pathogenesis，severe chronic pain，and autonomic nervous system dysfunction.This article reports a 26-year-old female patient who presented with severe，electric shock-like pain and hyperalgesia in th...

Diagnostic Predictive Model for Distinguishing Intravascular Large B-Cell Lymphoma Among Patients with Fever of Unknown Origin

Background/Objectives: Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare and diagnostically challenging disease, often presenting as fever of unknown origin (FUO). This study aimed to develop and validate diagnostic predictive models and scoring systems to distinguish IVLBCL...

Asian Neurogastroenterology and Motility Association and Asia-Pacific Association of Gastroenterology Chronic Constipation Consensus 2026.

Background/Aims: : Chronic constipation is a common gastrointestinal (GI) disorder in Asia, characterized by heterogeneous symptom presentation, frequent overlap with other GI symptoms, and limited access to specialized diagnostic tests in many settings. These factors contribute...

Spatial distribution, clustering patterns, and economic burden of comorbidities among hospitalised pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Guangdong province: a spatial epidemiological study based on inpatient big data

Background: Comorbidities may complicate the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis and exacerbate both the clinical and economic burden. We aimed to examine comorbidity patterns, spatial clustering, and economic burden in hospitalised pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients in Guangd...

Stratified meta-analysis of rodent diabetic neuropathy nerve transcriptomes identifies a down-regulated structural core

This record contains the derived data and analysis code for the study "Stratified meta-analysis of rodent diabetic neuropathy nerve transcriptomes identifies a down-regulated structural core" (manuscript submitted to Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2026). Twelve rodent (mouse and ra...

Transcriptional Profiling of Growth Hormone–Secreting Pituitary Adenoma Stem‐Like Cells: Unveiling the Significant Role of CXCR4 in Tumorigenesis and Clinical Applications

ABSTRACT Growth hormone–secreting pituitary adenoma (GHPA) can cause excessive growth hormone production, which can lead to clinical symptoms such as acromegaly. Tumor stem cells (TSCs) are postulated to play a significant role in the development of GHPA. We performed RNA sequenc...

Multidimensional 5-hydroxymethylcytosine features in cell-free DNA enable the detection, staging and subtyping of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal malignant cancer with limited biomarkers for early detection and disease stratification. Here, we investigated whether multidimensional 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) features in plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) could support...

Mechano‐Electrical Coupling Scaffold Drives Bone Organoids Bioenergetic Reprogramming to Accelerate Bone Regeneration

ABSTRACT Critical‐sized bone defects remain a major clinical challenge in orthopedics and regenerative medicine. Bone organoid provided therapy potentials; however, current engineering strategies generally neglect the bioenergetic foundation and intrinsic mechano‐electrical coupl...

Immune-inflammatory biomarkers for in-hospital mortality risk stratification in older patients with sepsis: a multicentre leave-one-hospital-out validation study

Older adults with sepsis have high mortality, but whether circulating immune-inflammatory biomarkers improve prediction beyond routine clinical information across hospitals is uncertain. We analysed 816 patients aged ≥ 60 years from a prospectively assembled multicentre cohort at...

Case report on new injection method for treating female Meige syndrome patients

Meige syndrome is an uncommon, long-lasting, and recurring form of craniofacial focal dystonia marked by bilateral blepharospasm and involuntary facial muscle contractions that greatly disrupt the daily activities and social interactions of those affected. The primary minimally i...

Spliceosome gene mutations synergize with anthracyclines to amplify atrial fibrillation risk in hematologic malignancies: a multicenter cohort study with discovery and validation

Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a life‑threatening complication in patients with hematologic malignancies, yet personalized risk stratification remains challenging. Spliceosome gene mutations are key drivers of these malignancies, but their specific role in AF pat...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis coexisting with primary sjögren’s syndrome: a clinical case series and exploratory transcriptomic analysis

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor neuron degeneration, while primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease with prominent immune dysregulation. Although immune-related alterations have been i...

Gut microbiota-driven hippuric acid hydrolysis promotes pancreatic tumorigenesis by suppressing NK cell activity

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the most lethal malignancies, characterized by a lack of effective early detection, profoundly immunosuppressive microenvironment, and poor responsiveness to current therapies. Emerging evidence suggests that gut microbiota a...

Endpoint-specific associations of the cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, and glucose (CHG) index and its adiposity- and inflammation-related derivatives with incident cardiovascular disease and mortality: evidence from CHARLS and NHANES

The cholesterol-high-density lipoprotein–glucose (CHG) index combines lipid and glycemic measures, but whether its adiposity- and inflammation-related derivatives add information beyond their components and established risk factors is uncertain. We compared nine CHG-related indic...

A de novo IKZF4 Variant Underlies Hypogammaglobulinemia and Increased Infection Susceptibility through Downregulating the NF-κB Pathway
