    Abstract Chronic lumbar and back pain caused by degenerative vertebral endplates presents a challenging issue for patients and clinicians. As a new minimally invasive spinal treatment method, radiofrequency ablation of vertebral basal nerve in bone can denature the corresponding vertebral basal nerve through radiofrequency ablation of degenerative vertebral endplate. It blocks the nociceptive signal transmission of the vertebral base nerve, thereby alleviating the symptoms of low back pain caused by the degenerative vertebral endplate. At present, many foreign articles have reported the operation principle, operation method, clinical efficacy and related complications of radiofrequency ablation of the vertebral basal nerve. The main purpose of this paper is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the current relevant research, and provide a reference for the follow-up clinical research.

    Abstract Land degradation is a major threat to ecosystem. Long-term conventional farming practices can lead to severe soil degradation and a decline in crop productivity, which are challenging for both local and global communities. This study was conducted to clarify the responses on soil physicochemical properties and microbial communities to changes in farming practices. Slope land orchards under three agricultural management practices-conventional farming (CF), organic farming (OF), and ecofriendly farming (EFF)-were included in this study. We found that soil carbon stock increased by 3.6 and 5.1 times in surface soils (0-30 cm) under EFF and OF treatments, respectively. EFF and OF significantly increased the contents of total nitrogen by 0.33-0.46 g/kg, ammonia-N by 3.0-7.3 g/kg, and microbial biomass carbon by 0.56-1.04 g/kg but reduced those of pH by 0.6 units at least, and available phosphorous by 104-114 mg/kg. The application of phosphorous-containing herbicides and chemical fertilizers might increase the contents of phosphorous and nitrate in CF soil. High abundances of

    Abstract Hair emerged as a biospecimen for long-term investigation of endogenous metabolic perturbations, reflecting the chemical composition circulating in the blood over the past months. Despite its potential, the use of human hair for metabolomics in Alzheimer's disease (AD) research remains limited. Here, we performed both untargeted and targeted metabolomic approaches to profile the key metabolic pathways in the hair of 5xFAD mice, a widely used AD mouse model. Furthermore, we applied the discovered metabolites to human subjects. Hair samples were collected from 6-month-old 5xFAD mice, a stage marked by widespread accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain, followed by sample preparation and high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis. Forty-five discriminatory metabolites were discovered in the hair of 6-month-old 5xFAD mice compared to wild-type control mice. Enrichment analysis revealed three key metabolic pathways: arachidonic acid metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, and alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism. Among these pathways, six metabolites demonstrated significant differences in the hair of 2-month-old 5xFAD mice, a stage prior to the onset of amyloid plaque deposition. These findings suggest their potential involvement in the early stages of AD pathogenesis. When evaluating 45 discriminatory metabolites for distinguishing patients with AD from nondemented controls, a combination of l-valine and arachidonic acid significantly differentiated these two groups, achieving a 0.88 area under the curve. Taken together, these findings highlight the potential of hair metabolomics in identifying disease-specific metabolic alterations and developing biomarkers for improving disease detection and monitoring.

    Abstract BackgroundThe influence of recent influenza infection on perioperative outcomes is not completely understood.MethodUsing Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Data from 2008 to 2013, we conducted a surgical cohort study, which included 20,544 matched patients with a recent history of influenza and 10,272 matched patients without. The main outcomes were postoperative complications and mortality. We calculated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the complications and for mortality in patients with a history of influenza within 1–14 days or 15–30 days compared with non-influenza controls.ResultsCompared with patients who had no influenza, patients with influenza within preoperative days 1–7 had increased risks of postoperative pneumonia (OR 2.22, 95% CI 1.81–2.73), septicemia (OR 1.98, 95% CI 1.70–2.31), acute renal failure (OR 2.10, 95% CI 1.47–3.00), and urinary tract infection (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.23–1.70). An increased risk of intensive care admission, prolonged length of stay, and higher medical expenditure was noted in patients with history of influenza within 1–14 days.ConclusionWe found that there was an association between influenza within 14 days preoperatively and the increased risk of postoperative complications, particularly with the occurrence of influenza within 7 days prior to surgery.

    Abstract Graft shrinkage, epithelial disintegration, and even necrosis are the well-known clinical complications during initial healing stage of free gingival graft (FGG) procedure. This article presented a novel operative prodecure for FGG in a dental implant with insufficient keratinized tissue over a 3-year follow-up period. Briefly, donor site for FGG harvested from maxillary tuberosity would minimize the volume of graft shrinkage. The new periosteum suture technique could secure FGG firmly adapted on the recipient site. With 1 mm gap between FGG and muco-gingival junction may improve plasmatic circulation and revascularization. The clinical findings of case report demonstrated that this novel operative procedure may provide a viable therapeutic alternative for FGG.

    Abstract The transformation, transport, and release of phosphorus (P) are highly subject to anthropogenic activities and complex biochemical interactions. Its bioavailability and recalcitrance are generally regulated by P forms, arousing imposition for the accurate identification of chemical speciation. Here, P K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy was exploited to determine the molecular P species on colloids, canal sludge, and coastal sediments collected in the area receiving mixed effluents from agricultural and municipal activities. Although Fe(III)-bonded P [Fe(III)–P] dominated the P inventory for colloids and sludge collected near the agricultural area, its proportion on colloids was approximately half of that on the sludge, suggesting the emerging contribution of other P species such as Al–P, Fe(II)–P, and organic-P (org-P) to carry colloidal P. Proportions of Fe(III)–P on colloids and sludge both declined seaward, yet the maximum P loss from colloids was derived from the org-P. The organic matter degradation plausibly drove the reduction of SO₄ and Fe(III), leading to the prominent increase in FeS and the conversion of org-P to authigenic P. While Al–P accounted for a comparable proportion of colloidal P inventory to that of Fe(III)–P in adjacent coastal wetlands, the proportion of Fe(II)–P showed the greatest increase on colloids in the transition from fresh-to saltwater. Collective results attest to the significance of Fe(II) and Al in partitioning colloidal and sedimentary P, which should be taken into account to improve the assessment of the P dynamics and eutrophication risk.
