The aim of this study was to evaluate hepatobiliary disorders adverse events associated with pembrolizumab by using the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).We collected FAERS data from the first quarter of 2009 to the third quarter of 2024 and used reporting odds ratio (ROR) to detect pembrolizumab-associated hepatobiliary adverse events (AEs). A signal was considered significant when the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the ROR exceeded 1, and≥5 AEs were reported.

Article Synopsis
  • Allergic diseases are on the rise, posing a significant health threat, particularly in Sichuan province, China, where a study analyzed allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) levels in over 12,000 patients suspected of having allergies.
  • The study found that D1 and D2 allergens had the highest sensitization rates (22.97% and 23.33%, respectively), with men showing a higher rate of sensitization compared to women, and most patients with allergic rhinitis and asthma were sensitized to these allergens.
  • This research highlights the need for better identification and management of allergens, which can aid in preventing and treating allergic diseases.

Article Synopsis
  • Proline henagliflozin is a new medication for type 2 diabetes, and a study was conducted to assess its pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety in Chinese patients with varying liver dysfunction.
  • The study found that patients with liver dysfunction had significantly increased plasma concentrations of henagliflozin compared to those with normal liver function, with increases in the drug's exposure correlating to the severity of liver issues.
  • Despite the increased drug exposure in liver dysfunction patients, there were no significant adverse effects reported; however, the long-term safety and efficacy of the drug in this population requires further evaluation.

Abnormal aggregation and fibrillogenesis of amyloid-β protein (Aβ) can cause Alzheimer's disease (AD). Thus, the discovery of effective drugs that inhibit Aβ fibrillogenesis in the brain is crucial for the treatment of AD. Luteoloside, as one of the polyphenolic compounds, is found to have a certain therapeutic effect on nervous system diseases.

Background: The performance of existing image-based training models in evaluating bowel preparation on colonoscopy videos was relatively low, and only a few models used external data to prove their generalization. Therefore, this study attempted to develop a more precise and stable AI system for assessing bowel preparation of colonoscopy video.

Methods: We proposed a system named ViENDO to assess the bowel preparation quality, including two CNNs.

Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), as key regulators, are closely associated with the development of a variety of disease. However, the mechanisms by which lncRNAs regulate type C induced piglet diarrhea are unclear.

Methods: In the present study, we explored the expression and characterization of lncRNAs in a beta2 (CPB2) toxin-treated intestinal porcine epithelial cell line-J2 (IPEC-J2) using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq).

Background: As an important regulator of autoimmune responses and inflammation, S100A9 may serve as a therapeutic target in inflammatory diseases. However, the role of S100A9 in Clostridium perfringens type C infectious diarrhea is poorly studied. The aim of our study was to screen downstream target genes regulated by S100A9 in Clostridium perfringens beta2 (CPB2) toxin-induced IPEC-J2 cell injury.

beta2 (CPB2) toxin is one of the main pathogenic toxins produced by , which causes intestinal diseases in animals and humans. The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is the most common reversible modification in eukaryotic disease processes. Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) regulates immunity and inflammatory responses induced by the bacterial infections in animals.

beta2 (CPB2) toxin, one of the virulence factors of (), can cause necrotizing enterocolitis in piglets. Accumulating pieces of evidence indicate that microRNAs (miRNAs) refer to the regulation of inflammatory processes. Previously, we have discovered that miR-30d was differentially expressed between the ileum of normal piglets and type C-infected diarrheal piglets.

Dopaminergic medication for Parkinson's disease (PD) modulates neuronal oscillations and functional connectivity (FC) across the basal ganglia-thalamic-cortical circuit. However, the non-oscillatory component of the neuronal activity, potentially indicating a state of excitation/inhibition balance, has not yet been investigated and previous studies have shown inconsistent changes of cortico-cortical connectivity as a response to dopaminergic medication. To further elucidate changes of regional non-oscillatory component of the neuronal power spectra, FC, and to determine which aspects of network organization obtained with graph theory respond to dopaminergic medication, we analyzed a resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) dataset including 15 PD patients during OFF and ON medication conditions.

Cross-frequency synchronization (CFS) has been proposed as a mechanism for integrating spatially and spectrally distributed information in the brain. However, investigating CFS in Magneto- and Electroencephalography (MEG/EEG) is hampered by the presence of spurious neuronal interactions due to the non-sinusoidal waveshape of brain oscillations. Such waveshape gives rise to the presence of oscillatory harmonics mimicking genuine neuronal oscillations.

The treatment of inner ear disorders always remains a challenge for researchers. The presence of various physiological barriers, primarily the blood-labyrinth barrier (BLB), limits the accessibility of the inner ear and hinders the efficacy of various drug therapies. Yet despite recent advances in the cochlea for repair and regeneration, there are currently no pharmacological or biological interventions for hearing loss.

The prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) increases with aging and both processes share similar cellular mechanisms and alterations in the dopaminergic system. Yet it remains to be investigated whether aging can also demonstrate electrophysiological neuronal signatures typically associated with PD. Previous work has shown that phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) between the phase of beta oscillations and the amplitude of gamma oscillations as well as beta bursts features can serve as electrophysiological biomarkers for PD.

Chinese HZ boars are typical plateau miniature boars characterized by precocious puberty, which is closely related to testicular development and spermatogenesis. Accumulating evidence indicates that lncRNA is involved in the testicular development and regulation of spermatogenesis. However, little is known about the lncRNA precocious regulation in testicular development and spermatogenesis on early sexual maturity of HZ boars.
