Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the connection between Yang-deficiency constitution (YADC) and endometrial hyperplastic processes (EHPs), finding that YADC is more common in EHPs patients, which may indicate a higher risk for these conditions.
  • Analysis of gut microbiota from patients revealed that those with YADC showed greater inflammation and specific microbial signatures compared to non-YADC individuals.
  • The research suggests that certain interactions between gut microbiota and host genes may contribute significantly to the development of EHPs in individuals with YADC.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent research indicates that water significantly influences the creation of large igneous provinces (LIPs), but most studies have only examined water in specific rock types, leaving continental flood basalts (CFBs) underexplored.
  • Researchers analyzed the water content in clinopyroxene crystals from the Akesu diabase, which is related to the flood basalts in the Tarim LIP, finding a parental magma water content of over 1.23 wt.% and a mantle source water content of at least 1230 ppm.
  • These findings suggest a hydrous mantle plume's involvement in Tarim LIP formation and indicate that water may have been supplied to this plume through a subducted oceanic plate that penetrated the deep mantle.

Background: Advances in the understanding of wrinkling crow's feet while improving the safety and efficacy of botulinum toxin type A injection has pointed to drug dispersion in the lateral orbital wrinkles as a cause of adverse events of botulinum toxin type A injection. The purpose of this study is to identify the distribution of temporal and zygomatic branches of facial nerve in the orbicularis oculi muscles.

Methods: Anatomical dissection of cadavers was performed in 31 cadavers, 13 females and 18 males, with ages ranging from 20 to 60 years, which of all had been embalmed by 10% formalin solution.
