Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the presence of the BCR::ABL1 fusion protein with active tyrosine kinase activity. The BCR::ABL1 fusion protein induces the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). DNA damage caused by ROS is involved in the mechanism of CML progression.

Previous studies have characterized mA methyltransferase complexes, demethylases, and mA-binding proteins, but as a relatively new epitranscriptomic pathway, it is likely that new mA components remain to be discovered. To explore the effects of mA modification on tissues and organs, the mA reader was overexpressed in eye imaginal discs.

The China mortality prediction model in trauma, based on the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification lexicon (CMPMIT-ICD-10), is a novel model for predicting outcomes in patients who experienced trauma. This model has not yet been validated using data acquired from patients at other trauma centers in China. This retrospective study used data retrieved from the Peking University People's Hospital discharge database and included all patients admitted for trauma between 2012 and 2022 for model validation.

Combination therapy using antibodies and natural killer (NK) effectors, which are innate immune cells with safe and potent antitumor activity, is a promising approach for cancer immunotherapy and can enhance antitumor effects. Elotuzumab (Elo) is an immune-stimulatory antibody that targets the signaling lymphocytic activation molecule family 7 (SLAMF7) expressed on the surface of MM and NK cells.

We previously prepared nerve growth factor poly-lactide co-glycolid sustained-release microspheres to treat rat sciatic nerve injury using the small gap sleeve technique. Multiple growth factors play a synergistic role in promoting the repair of peripheral nerve injury; as a result, in this study, we added basic fibroblast growth factors to the microspheres to further promote nerve regeneration. First, in an in vitro biomimetic microenvironment, we developed and used a drug screening biomimetic microfluidic chip to screen the optimal combination of nerve growth factor/basic fibroblast growth factor to promote the regeneration of Schwann cells.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chinese patent medicines in the treatment of insomnia by frequency network Meta-analysis. Randomized controlled trials of Chinese patent medicines for insomnia were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, EMbase and Cochrane Library databases from the time of database establishment to October 2020. The quality of the included RCTs was evaluated according to the Cochrane bias risk standard, and the data was analyzed by RevMan 5.

Aims: Peripheral nerve injury is a significant clinical problem with a substantial impact on quality of life, for which no optimal treatment has been found. This study aimed to analyze the effect and mechanism of Wnt5a-loaded fibrin hydrogel on a 10-mm rat sciatic nerve defect.
Methods: The Wnt5a-loaded fibrin hydrogel was synthesized by mixing a Wnt5a solution with thrombin and fibrinogen solutions.

Osteosarcoma serves as a prevalent bone cancer with a high metastasis and common drug resistance, resulting in poor prognosis and high mortality. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a patient-specific and non-invasive tumor therapy. Nanoparticles, like graphene oxide have been widely used in drug delivery and PDT.

Methods: LINC01793 expression was analyzed in 80 cases of OSCC patients and SCC9, SCC25, Cal27, and HN6 cell lines by qRT-PCR. The association of LINC01793 expression with clinicopathological features and prognosis in OSCC patients was analyzed.
Objective: Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have increased mortality related to cardiovascular disease (CVD). This systematic review and meta-analysis identified the risk of CVD in SLE patients, CVD risk factors in SLE patients, and the risk of CVD in lupus nephritis (LN) patients.
Methods: On-line databases were used to search the eligible studies from January 2013 to August 2020.

Background: Models to predict mortality in trauma play an important role in outcome prediction and severity adjustment, which informs trauma quality assessment and research. Hospitals in China typically use the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) to describe injury. However, there is no suitable prediction model for China.

In the study, the interaction between miR-375 and TOB2 was analyzed to identify their functions on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs.
Methods: hPDLSCs were isolated from human first premolars, and hPDLSCs stably expressing and silenced miR-375 were constructed using miR-375-ago and miR-375-antago, respectively.
Background: Ischemic postconditioning (IPostC) is an endogenous protective mechanism to reduce ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, whether IPostC protects aged cardiomyocytes against I/R injury is not fully understood. Considering the protective function of microRNA 30a (miR-30a) against ischemia-induced injury in H9C2 cells, its role in the protective effects of IPostC on I/R injury of aged cardiomyocytes was investigated further.
