Article Synopsis
- - Sphenoid sinus mucocele (SSM) is a rare condition in children, accounting for only 1% to 3% of paranasal sinus mucoceles, and can result in unexpected symptoms like blindness.
- - A case study focused on a 9-year-old girl who experienced sudden vision loss due to SSM, leading to her diagnosis through an orbital MRI after first consulting an eye doctor.
- - The girl underwent successful endoscopic surgery, which relieved her vision immediately, showcasing the importance of early diagnosis and intervention by various specialists to manage SSM effectively in pediatric patients.
The development of facile, reliable, and accurate assays for pathogenic bacteria is critical to environmental pollution surveillance, traceability analysis, prevention, and control. Here, we proposed a rolling circle amplification (RCA) strategy-driven visual photothermal smartphone-based biosensor for achieving highly sensitive monitoring of () in environmental media. In this design, could specifically bind with its recognition aptamer for initiating the RCA process on a magnetic bead (MB).

Background: Chronic jet lag (CJL)-induced circadian rhythm disruption (CRD) is positively correlated with an increased risk of allergic diseases. However, little is known about the mechanism involved in allergic rhinitis (AR).
Methods: Aberrant light/dark cycles-induced CRD mice were randomly divided into negative control (NC) group, AR group, CRD+NC group, and CRD+AR group (n = 8/group).
Period2 gene regulates diurnal changes of nasal symptoms in an allergic rhinitis mouse model.

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) symptoms exhibit prominent 24-hour variations associated with the biological clock. Although endogenous glucocorticoids synchronize circadian oscillator in the nasal mucosa, the precise mechanism of AR remains unclear. Therefore, using a mouse model, we investigated the association between circadian-clock genes and AR symptoms at various time-points.

Methods: Thirty abdominal obesity women patients were randomly divided into control group (=15) and EA group (=15). The obesity patients of the control group did not receive any treatment for weight reduction, and those of the EA group were treated by EA stimulation of bilateral Neiting (ST 44), Fenglong (ST 40), Zusanli (ST 36), Huaroumen (ST 24), Tianshu (ST 25), Wailing (ST 26), Shuidao (ST 28), Fujie (SP 14), Daheng (SP 13), etc.
