Clinical Outcome Differences in Asia Versus Non-Asia Intracerebral Hemorrhage: IPD Analysis From BP-Lowering Clinical Trials

BACKGROUND: Evidence of regional differences in clinical outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is still scarce. We quantified differential outcomes and response to early intensive blood pressure lowering treatment by region in the Blood pressure in Acute Stroke Collaborat...

Plasma Glutamine and Glutamate in Relation to Clinical Outcomes After Ischemic Stroke: A Multicenter Prospective Study

Background Glutamine (Gln) and glutamate (Glu) have been suggested to play a pivotal role in neuronal homeostasis and metabolic regulation, showing potential as prognostic biomarkers for stroke. This study aimed to evaluate the associations of plasma Gln, Glu, and glutamine‐to‐gl...

Epigenetic silencing of FCGR2A by promoter hypermethylation exacerbates cardiac remodeling in post-myocardial infarction heart failure

Post-myocardial infarction heart failure (post-MI HF) is among the cardiovascular diseases with the highest morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. However, the epigenetic landscape of post-MI HF remains incompletely characterized. Here reduced representation bisulfite sequencin...

Body Weight in Relation to the Effectiveness of Intravenous Alteplase in Acute Ischemic Stroke: The ENCHANTED Trial

BACKGROUND: The prognostic significance of body weight in patients receiving thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke remains uncertain. This study aimed to determine whether body weight modifies the comparative effects of low- versus standard-dose intravenous alteplase and to eval...

Total elbow arthroplasty for severe primary elbow osteoarthritis: clinical outcomes of a modified Alonso-Llames approach

Severe primary elbow osteoarthritis (PEOA) is associated with pain, restricted motion, and functional impairment. Total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) is effective for end-stage disease, but conventional posterior approaches may compromise the triceps mechanism. Achieving adequate expo...

An interpretable fecal microbiota-based GBM-SHAP machine-learning model for distinguishing ankylosing spondylitis from healthy controls

Previous studies have identified associations between ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and the gut microbiota. This retrospective secondary analysis aimed to develop and interpret a fecal microbiota-based machine-learning model for distinguishing AS samples from healthy-control sample...

SDF4 is a potential biomarker for diagnosis and severity assessment in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus

Abstract Background The implementation of refined management of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) poses a considerable challenge in clinical practice. In this study, we evaluated serum stromal cell-derived factor 4 (SDF4) as potential biomarkers for SLE diagnosis, disease severi...

Structural classification of EGFR mutations and its association with TKI efficacy against compound and co-mutations in a Chinese NSCLC cohort: a single-center retrospective analysis

Epidermal growth factor receptor( EGFR )mutations have been classified into four distinct subgroups based on the characteristics of the kinase domain and their sensitivity to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).However, literature regarding the distribution and biological features...

Efficacy and Safety of the First Adalimumab Biosimilar in Chinese Children with Severe Plaque Psoriasis: The PISCES Study, a Multicenter Prospective Study

Adalimumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting tumor necrosis factor-alpha, has been approved for the treatment of severe plaque psoriasis in children aged 4 years and older. Data on its use in the clinical management of pediatric psoriasis in China remains limited. This study is th...

24-hour movement behaviour patterns differ across depressive symptom trajectories in community-dwelling older adults: a group-based trajectory model and compositional data analysis

Depressive symptoms in older adults change over time and do not follow a single uniform pattern. Whether 24-hour movement behaviour composition differs across depressive symptom trajectories remains unclear. This longitudinal secondary analysis used data from the Survey of Health...

Genomic and transcriptomic landscape of overweight Chinese breast cancer reveals NOTCH2 mutation–mediated endocrine resistance and therapeutic strategies

Abstract Background Obesity (OB) and overweight (OW) are common in patients with breast cancer and are associated with inferior outcomes, yet their impact on tumor molecular architecture remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to define the genomic and transcriptomic fe...

Development and validation of a nomogram for predicting 28-day mortality in patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia

Severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP) progresses rapidly, is associated with poor prognosis. Early assessment and timely intervention are crucial for improving the short-term outcomes of patients this study aims to develop and validate a Nomogram prognostic prediction model...

Prognostic value of systemic immune‐inflammation index and systemic inflammation response index with maternal gestational diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

OBJECTIVE: Mounting evidence indicates that the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) might be associated with the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, existing findings remain inconclusive. This systematic revie...

Mefatinib versus gefitinib as a first-line treatment for EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer: a randomized, double-blind, multicenter phase III study

Mefatinib, a novel second-generation epidermal growth factor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has shown promising antitumor activity in targeting non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with common and uncommon EGFR- activating mutations. In this phase III, randomized, double-bli...

Validation of the “purfling sign” for differentiating primary central nervous system lymphoma from high-grade glioma: a retrospective multicenter cohort study

Abstract Background The study aimed to evaluate whether the imaging marker “purfling sign” can reliably distinguish primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) from high-grade glioma and systematically assess its diagnostic performance, differential utility and clinical value...

Macrophage RIPK3 facilitates TRAF6 K63-linked ubiquitination and exacerbates acute pancreatitis

Abstract Acute pancreatitis (AP) is characterized by acinar cell injury and death triggered by multiple etiologies, culminating in local and systemic inflammatory responses. Current therapeutic options for AP, particularly severe AP, remain limited. While RIPK3-mediated necroptos...

Interim Efficacy Analysis of Different Anticoagulation Regimens in Patients with Long-term Implantation of Inferior Vena Cava Filter

Abstract: To analyze the interim efficacy of different anticoagulation regimens for patients with long-term inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) implantation. From August 2021 to August 2024, a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent long-term IVCF implantation in multiple c...

Intranasal Delivery of Gallium–Quercetin Nanoparticles for Multi‐Target Ferroptosis Inhibition in Parkinson's Disease

ABSTRACT Ferroptosis contributes to Parkinson's disease (PD) through interconnected processes including iron dysregulation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction, yet current therapies targeting single pathways remain insufficient. Herein, we developed gallium–quercetin...

An ELISA‐Inspired Self‐Propagating Click‐Fluoresce‐and‐Release Assay for the Ultrasensitive Detection of CD13 in Lung Cancer Patient Plasma
