Validation of [89Zr]Zr-oxine labelling and PET/CT imaging for tracking mesenchymal stem cells in mice and patients with perianal fistula

Allogeneic umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (TH-SC01) hold promise for treating perianal fistulas (pf) in Crohn’s disease (pfCD); however, like other live-cell products, their in vivo behaviour remains unclear. Zirconium-89 ([ 89 Zr]Zr)-oxine positron emission tomogr...

Safety, feasibility, and palliative benefit of HIFU combined with PD-1 inhibitors for elderly patients with advanced pancreatic cancer: a real-world retrospective study

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic cancer remains largely refractory to immune checkpoint inhibitors. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) may modulate the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment via immunogenic cell death, yet clinical evidence on HIFU combined with programmed cell dea...

Neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio is associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with acute aortic dissection: a multicenter retrospective cohort study

Early risk stratification remains challenging in patients with acute aortic dissection (AAD). This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) for in-hospital mortality in patients with acute aortic dissection. We performed a multi...

Research on creep life prediction of entangled metallic wire material based on performance degradation parameters and time–temperature superposition principle

The entangled metallic wire material (EMWM) exhibits the significant advantages, including high damping performance, resistance to aging, and strong environmental adaptability, making it widely applicable across various fields. As application fields of EMWM have been expanded, ex...

Glycolytic reprogramming and the EMT drive cervical cancer progression via the NQO1/HIF1α-SIX1 axis

Cervical cancer aggressiveness and therapeutic resistance are driven by metabolic reprogramming and redox imbalance. Within this context, NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), a critical regulator of cellular redox homeostasis and energy metabolism, is highly expressed in sev...
