The aim is to estimate the prognostic value of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in patients undergoing surgical resection for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). A total of 640 resected LSCC patients were included. Preoperative lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was assessed. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression analysis were conducted for overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Kaplan-Meier analysis, univariate analysis and multivariate analysis demonstrated significant prognostic value for preoperative LDH. Although LDH was predictor of OS, it failed to be a predictor of RFS. The univariate HR and 95% CI of LDH were 0.484 and 0.357-0.658 (P < 0.0001). The multivariate analysis showed that LDH (HR = 0.518, 95% CI: 0.380-0.705, p < 0.0001) was related to OS. Elevated preoperative LDH >132 IU/L was significantly associated with better survival. Preoperative LDH might be an independent prognostic marker of OS in LSCC patients undergoing surgical resection.

Alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD) is a leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. Despite its growing prevalence, no FDA-approved pharmacological treatments exist, leaving lifestyle modifications as the primary intervention. AFLD pathogenesis involves a complex interplay of lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and inflammation, highlighting the need for innovative therapeutic approaches.

is a thermophilic acetogenic bacterium capable of thriving at elevated temperatures up to 66°C. It metabolizes carbohydrates such as glucose, mannose, and fructose and can also grow lithotrophically utilizing hydrogen (H) and carbon dioxide (CO) or carbon monoxide (CO), with acetate serving as its main product. A simple and efficient genome editing system for would not only facilitate the understanding of the physiological function of enzymes involved in energy and carbon metabolism but also enable metabolic engineering.

Lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (LA-HLH) is a life-threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome, and hierarchical management based on a prognostic model is important. The endothelial activation and stress index (EASIX) score has demonstrated prognostic utility in recipients of allogeneic stem cell transplantation and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. However, its role in LA-HLH remains unestablished.

Purpose: Previous studies have shown that serum uric acid (UA) levels are significantly higher in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) than in patients with depressive disorder (DD), schizophrenia, and healthy controls. Currently, studies generally report that there is a complex bidirectional interaction between mood disorders (MD) and hyperuricemia (HUA). We investigated the prevalence and related factors of hyperuricemia in Chinese patients with mood disorders to find out potential mechanisms and build a predictive model.

Objectives: This study investigated the cardioprotective effects of stachydrine (STA) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic mice and H9c2 cardiomyocytes, focusing on its anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-ferroptotic actions.
Methods: We established an LPS-induced sepsis model in mice and an LPS-stimulated H9c2 cardiomyocyte model in vitro.
Results: STA markedly reduced LPS-induced myocardial apoptosis, as demonstrated by decreased TUNEL-positive cells, and attenuated the elevation of serum cardiac injury markers, including creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) levels.
