To evaluate the role of focal cortical dysplasia co-localization to cortical functional networks in the development of pharmacoresistance. One hundred thirty-six focal cortical dysplasia patients with 3.0 T or 1.5 T MRI were identified from clinical databases at Children's National Hospital. Clinico-radio-pathologic factors and network co-localization were determined. Using binomial logistic regression, limbic network co-localization (odds ratio 4.164 95% confidence interval 1.02-17.08, p = 0.048), and focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures (4.82, 1.30-18.03, p = 0.019) predicted pharmacoresistance. These findings provide clinicians with markers to identify patients with focal cortical dysplasia-related epilepsy at high risk of developing pharmacoresistance and should facilitate earlier epilepsy surgical evaluation.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: White matter injury (WMI) following ischemic stroke represents a critical pathological determinant of persistent neurological impairment, with current therapeutic options remaining limited. Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BYHWD), a time-honored formulation historically deployed in traditional Chinese medicine to address post-stroke sequelae, exhibits documented neuroprotective efficacy; nevertheless, its mechanistic actions governing post-ischemic white matter restoration and remyelination are yet to be fully deciphered.
Aim Of The Study: This study aimed to elucidate whether BYHWD facilitates post-ischemic white matter restoration via TREM2-dependent mechanisms.

Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is a leading cause of male infertility, characterized by impaired spermatogenesis. Recent studies suggest that ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death, may contribute to testicular dysfunction, however, its role in NOA remains underexplored. In this study, we investigated the roles of NUPR1 and MYC in regulating ferroptosis in human spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) and evaluated their potential as therapeutic targets for NOA.

Introduction: Jiangtang Decoction (JTD) demonstrates notable efficacy in managing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). This study aimed to elucidate JTD's causal targets and therapeutic mechanisms by integrating network pharmacology, Summary-data Mendelian Randomization (SMR), and molecular docking, complemented by validation.
Materials And Methods: JTD's targets were cross-matched with genes associated with T2DM or NAFLD.

Discharge of wastewater treatment plant effluent into rivers introduces substantial loads of emerging pollutants; however, the distribution and drivers of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in subsurface areas such as the hyporheic zone (HZ) remain poorly understood. Using metagenomic and bioinformatic approaches, this study examined ARG profiles and identified the dominant factors shaping their distribution in the HZ of a river where treated sewage serves as the primary water source. ARG abundances were higher in winter and in surface sediment samples (0-10 cm).

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder characterized by elevated androgen levels and impaired follicular development. A hallmark of PCOS is the excessive proliferation of thecal cells (TCs), which are critical for androgen production. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this aberrant cellular expansion remain incompletely understood.
