Article Synopsis
  • A systematic review and network meta-analysis compared the safety and effectiveness of pericapsular nerve group block (PENGB) with other regional analgesia methods for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA).
  • Researchers analyzed 11 randomized controlled trials, assessing postoperative pain scores, opioid consumption, and side effects such as motor block and nausea.
  • Results indicated that PENGB, especially when combined with periarticular local anesthetic infiltration (PLAI), provided better pain relief and reduced hospital stays compared to other techniques, while having fewer side effects.

Article Synopsis
  • - The extracellular space of plant cells is a critical area where plants battle against microbial invasions, particularly from oomycete pathogens which use enzymes like pectin acetylesterase (PAE) to aid their infections.
  • - Research revealed that a specific PAE from the oomycete Peronophythora litchii (PlPAE5) inhibits the immune response of litchi plants by interacting with a lipid transfer protein (LcLTP1), crucial for plant disease resistance.
  • - The study highlights that while LcLTP1 can strengthen plant defenses against pathogens by activating the salicylic acid (SA) signaling pathway, PlPAE5 undermines this response by destabilizing LcLTP

The clinical efficacy of ear endoscopic intervention in patients with congenital middle ear cholesteatoma (CMEC) is explored, and the relationship between the expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS), phosphorylated protein kinase B (P-Akt), hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and the degree of bone damage are analyzed. A total of 72 CMEC patients admitted to the otolaryngology department of our hospital from 2019 to January 2021 for surgical treatment are selected. According to the different intervention methods, the microscope group and the otolaryngology intervention group are established, respectively, with 36 patients in each group.

Both subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) are effective in reducing symptoms and medication scores and inducing long-term efficacy in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR). However, SLIT has been associated with poor patient adherence. This study investigates the factors impacting dropout rates from SLIT in house dust mite (HDM)-sensitized AR patients.

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is a laryngeal malignancy with a high mortality rates, and its treatment remains difficult. Sevoflurane is a surgical anesthesia which has anti-tumor effect. This investigation assessed the effects of LSCC cells treatment with Sevoflurane in vitro and in vivo.

Article Synopsis
  • Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors are common in various eukaryotes, but their specific functions in oomycetes are not well understood.
  • This study identified a unique bZIP protein called PlBZP32 and found that it is important for the growth and infection processes in oomycetes, particularly during stages like zoospore formation and invasive growth.
  • Using the RNAi technique to silence PlBZP32 revealed that mutants had increased sensitivity to oxidative stress, lower cyst germination rates, and reduced invasiveness on host plants, as well as diminished activity of key extracellular enzymes.

: Fluid shear stress (FSS) plays a critical role in osteoblast proliferation via extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5). Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) knockout robustly enhances bone formation due to increased osteoblast differentiation and mineralization. However, the effect of KLF4 on osteoblast proliferation is unresolved.

Purpose: Extracellular-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) is thought to regulate osteoblast proliferation. To further understand how ERK5 signaling regulates osteoblast proliferation induced by fluid shear stress (FSS), we examined some potential signaling targets associated with ERK5 in MC3T3-E1 cells.

Methods: MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with XMD8-92 (an ERK5 inhibitor) or Cyclosporin A (CsA, a nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) c1 inhibitor) and/or exposed to 12 dyn/cm FSS.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways are ubiquitous and evolutionarily conserved signal transduction modules directing cellular respond to a diverse array of stimuli, in the eukaryotic organisms. In this study, was identified to encode a MAPK in , the oomycete pathogen causing litchi downy blight disease. PlMAPK10, containing a specific and highly conserved dual phosphorylation lip sequence SEY (Serine-Glutamic-Tyrosine), represents a novel group of MAPKs as previously reported.

Nasal polyp (NP) is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal cavity and sinuses. Although some authors have suggested that NP is related to inflammatory factors such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-5, IL-8, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and IL-17, the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis and progression of NP remain obscure. This study investigated the expression and distribution of IL-17 and syndecan-1 in NP, and explored the roles of these two molecules in the pathogenesis of eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (Eos CRSwNP) and non-Eos CRSwNP.

To explore the audiological features in children who were sever sensorineural hearing loss infected with rubella virus. There were two cases of rubella virus infection in children who were deaf, they conducted the distortion product otoacoustic emission, ABR and auditory steady-state evoked response (ASSR) examination, then analyzed the results comprehensively. Two patients' mothers were prompted to have infected rubella virus during the early three months pregnant period by history and laboratory tests.

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of nasal packing of pulmicort respules combined withnasopore after endoscopic sinus surgery.

Method: A total of 30 CRSwNP and CRSsNP patients with bilateral functional endoscopic sinus surgery and finished following up visit were randomly choosed, conventionally select the left nasal cavity as the experimental group, the right nasal cavity as the control group. Experimental group to pack the nasal cavity with pulmicort respules union nasopore after surgery and control group to pack the nasal cavity with only nasopore after surgery.

Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous immunotherapy with dermatophagoides pteronyssinus standardized extract given in conventional and cluster immunotherapy schedules for persistent allergic rhinitis.

Methods: One hundred and ten patients with moderate to severe allergic rhinitis caused by dust mites, in accordance with the immunotherapy inclusion criteria, were allocated to receive conventional immunotherapy as group A (n = 57) or cluster immunotherapy as group B (n = 53). In group A, 7 cases were lost to follow-up, the expulsion rate of group A was 12.
