The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in human health, but its impact on lipid metabolism remains unclear. Understanding the causal relationship between gut bacteria and lipid profiles is essential for developing strategies to prevent and treat dyslipidemia and cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to assess this relationship using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR).

Background: High-grade non-intestinal-type sinonasal adenocarcinoma (non-ITAC) is a rare and aggressive form of adenocarcinoma with poor prognosis. The current standard treatment approach involves surgery combined with radiation therapy. However, there is a need for exploring additional treatment modalities to improve patient outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • Varicose veins (VV) are a widespread venous disease that affects patients' quality of life and places a financial strain on healthcare systems, prompting a study to identify genes and drug targets for treatment.
  • The research utilized Mendelian randomization and other statistical analyses on genetic data, ultimately screening 12 candidate genes to find four with significant causal links to VV.
  • The identified genes display varying relationships with the disease, with three associated with an increased risk and one linked to a decreased risk, suggesting potential targets for future VV therapies.

In order to successfully apply the Internet of Things and cloud computing to the administrative management of spatial structures and realize the systematization, digitization, and intelligence of administrative management, this article draws on research experience in related fields and considers the data characteristics and computing tasks of administrative management. The whole cycle of transmission, storage, postprocessing, and visualization is the main line of research, and a cloud computing-based spatial structure administrative management IoT system is constructed. First, by summarizing the application status of the Internet of Things, the general Internet of Things system is summarized into three levels, and combined with the specific work in the spatial structure administrative management, the overall framework of the spatial structure administrative management of the Internet of Things system is proposed, and the functional sublayers are carried out.

Meningiomas, which originate from arachnoid cells and constitute the largest subgroup of all intracranial tumors, are generally benign, yet have the capacity to progress into a higher histological grade of malignancy associated with an increase in biological aggressivity and/or capacity to recur. To elucidate meningioma pathogenesis and malignancy, we applied a holistic and network approach analyzing cDNA and tissue microarray results. A potential pathway leading to meningioma angiogenesis, apoptosis and proliferation was evidenced as well as a regulatory network of the biomarkers including Ki-67, AR, CD34, P53, c-MYC, etc.
