Background And Aims: Several protein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors have been shown to significantly reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in statin-intolerant patients, but none have been verified in Chinese patients. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ongericimab, a novel PCSK9 monoclonal antibody, in Chinese statin-intolerant patients with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia.

Methods: This was a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 study designed to enroll 120 statin-intolerant adult patients.

Objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of adjunct Shuxuening Injection (SXN) on conventional therapy in patients with unstable angina (UA) which provides a complementary choice and its evidence for clinical medication for treating UA.

Methods: In this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 469 patients with UA from 25 hospitals in China who had an episode of angina within 48 hours were randomly assigned 3:1 to SXN and placebo group for 10 days in addition to conventional treatment. The primary outcome is the frequency of angina pectoris attacks after 10 days of intervention.

Background: Novel thrombotic molecular markers are significantly linked to acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, the relationship between thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), tissue plasminogen activator-inhibitor complex (t-PAIC), plasmin-α2 plasmin inhibitor complex (PIC), thrombomodulin (TM), and early neurological deterioration (END) remains unclear. Therefore, we developed a prediction model for END based on these markers and evaluated its accuracy and clinical utility.

Early diagnosis is critical for improving outcomes in cancer patients; however, the application of diagnostic markers derived from serum proteomic screening remains challenging. Artificial intelligence (AI), encompassing deep learning and machine learning (ML), has gained increasing prominence across various scientific disciplines. In this study, we utilized cervical cancer (CC) as a model to develop an AI-driven pipeline for the identification and validation of serum biomarkers for early cancer diagnosis, leveraging mass spectrometry-based proteomics data.

Lepalvir, derived from inflamed rabbit skin inoculated with vaccinia virus, has potential neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. We conducted a phase II, multicenter, randomized, blind, placebo-controlled trial investigating the efficacy and safety of Lepalvir for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Participants aged 18-80 years with AIS in the anterior circulation and a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of 4-24 within 48 h post-onset were randomized to receive high-dose (192U), low-dose (96U) Lepalvir, or saline placebo for 14 days.

Importance: The impact of adjunctive intra-arterial tenecteplase administration following near-complete to complete reperfusion by endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke is unknown.

Objective: To assess the efficacy and adverse events of adjunctive intra-arterial tenecteplase in patients with large vessel occlusion stroke who had achieved near-complete to complete reperfusion (defined as a score on the expanded Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction [eTICI] scale of 2c to 3) after EVT.

Design, Setting, And Participants: Investigator-initiated, randomized, open-label, blinded outcome assessment trial implemented at 34 hospitals in China among 540 patients with stroke due to proximal intracranial large vessel occlusion within 24 hours of the time they were last known to be well, with an eTICI score of 2c to 3 after EVT, and without prior intravenous thrombolysis.

This study investigates the therapeutic effects of recombinant human IL-10 (rhIL-10) administered via aerosol inhalation in acute lung injury (ALI), with a particular focus on neutrophils. It explores how rhIL-10, in the presence of platelets, modulates neutrophil polarization to ameliorate acute lung injury. Initially, the ALI model established in mice demonstrated that aerosol inhalation of rhIL-10 significantly mitigated the cytokine storm in the lungs, reduced pulmonary edema, and alleviated histopathological damage to lung tissue.

Article Synopsis
  • Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder with no current effective treatments to slow its progression, and recent studies link NETs (neutrophil extracellular traps) to AD.
  • This research analyzed gene expression data to identify 21 significant NET-related genes (AD-DE-NETRGs) associated with immune response and specific signaling pathways, and further identified five key genes (NFKBIA, SOCS3, CCL2, TIMP1, ACTB) as potential biomarkers through a series of analytical methods.
  • Additionally, a regulatory network involving 16 microRNAs and 132 lncRNAs was constructed, and several small molecule compounds were predicted to interact with these hub genes, suggesting avenues for
