The Effects of Acupuncture at Shuigou (GV26) on Patients With Disorders of Consciousness: An EEG Nonlinear Dynamics Analysis

Background Disorders of consciousness (DOC) lack objective biomarkers. We evaluated the immediate cortical effects of acupuncture at Shuigou (GV26) in DOC patients using nonlinear EEG parameters: approximate entropy (ApEn), Lempel–Ziv complexity (LZC), correlation dimension ( D 2...

The deubiquitinase PSMD14 accelerates cervical cancer progression, with thiolutin offering a novel therapeutic approach

Abnormal function of deubiquitination enzymes is implicated in cancer progression. However, the role of the 26S proteasome non-ATPase regulatory subunit 14 (PSMD14) in cervical cancer development and its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In our study, we evaluated t...

Biomechanical comparative analysis of minimally invasive decompression and minimally invasive fusion with internal fixation in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis with degenerative spondylolisthesis: a finite element study

This study aimed to analyze and compare the biomechanical effects of four different minimally invasive surgical procedures for lumbar spinal stenosis complicated by degenerative spondylolisthesis. A static finite element analysis was performed using data from a single healthy vol...
