Background: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of Denosumab (DEN) versus Zoledronic acid (ZOL) in treating patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP).
Methods: In this study, 128 OVCF patients who underwent PKP in our hospital from June 2019 to August 2022 were selected and randomized into a DEN group treated with DEN and a ZOL group treated with ZOL. Bone mineral density (BMD), bone metabolism, pain, and lumbar mobility were compared between the two groups before and after treatment, and the anterior vertebral height and local kyphotic angle were measured.
In recent years, the incidence and mortality of pancreatic cancer (PC) are increasing year by year. The highly heterogeneous nature of PC, its strong immune escape ability and easy metastasis make it the most lethal malignant tumor in the world. With the rapid development of sequencing technology, the complex components in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of PC have been gradually revealed.

Structural regulation and heteroatom doping are the available methods to ameliorate the electrochemical properties of MoS. Herein, phosphorus doped molybdenum disulfide regulated by sodium chloride (SP-MoS) is successfully synthesized using phosphomolybdate acid as a molybdenum source and an dopant and sodium chloride (NaCl) as a structural regulator.
