Evaluation of Treatment Outcomes Using DNLR and GNRI in Combination Therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide, particularly in Asia. Due to its lack of early symptoms, many patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, making surgical resection unfeasible. In r...

Application of High Dielectric Constant Pads in 3T Fetal MRI Background Introduction With the advancement of medical imaging technology, fetal MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is increasingly being used in prenatal diagnosis. Compared to ultrasound, MRI provides higher soft tissue resolution and contrast, offering significant advantages in imaging ...

Larger Perfusion Mismatch Volume is Associated with Longer Hospital Length of Stay in Medium Vessel Occlusion Stroke Academic Background Stroke is the second leading cause of death globally, imposing a significant burden on both patients and healthcare systems. Prolonged hospital length of stay (LOS) is closely associated with adverse clinical outc...

The Impact of Winter Urban Light on Night-Time Sleep Background Light and darkness are the primary environmental factors regulating human circadian rhythms. In natural environments, humans are exposed to light levels ranging from 3,000 lux (cloudy winter sky) to 100,000 lux (clear sky). However, in modern urban environments, especially during winte...

Causal Relationship Between Gut Microbiota and Parkinson’s Disease Academic Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor dysfunction (such as bradykinesia, muscle rigidity, and resting tremors) and non-motor symptoms (such as olfactory impairment, cognitive decline, and sleep disturbances). Altho...

Hemispheric Asymmetry of Myelin Orientation in the Mouse Auditory Cortex Academic Background The mammalian brain exhibits inherent asymmetry, which is particularly evident in the motor system and acoustic communication. For example, both mice and humans show hemispheric differences in auditory processing. This asymmetric organization allows the bra...

Classification Study of Parkinson’s Disease and Cervical Dystonia Academic Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and Cervical Dystonia (CD) are two common movement disorders whose pathological mechanisms are closely related to abnormal neuronal activity in the basal ganglia. The basal ganglia are a crucial brain structure for motor control, with the ...

The Role of 5-HT1A Agonist Buspirone in Pain Regulation in Postcolitis Rats Background In recent years, increasing clinical and experimental evidence has shown that the brain’s serotonin (5-HT) system plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IB...

Distribution and Function of CB1 Cannabinoid Receptor and VGLUT3 in the Human Cerebral Cortex Background Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) regulates synaptic transmission through presynaptic receptors in nerve terminals, and its physiological roles are of significant clinical relevance. However, the cellular sources and synaptic targets of CB1-expressin...

Study on Structural and Functional Network Connectivity Changes in Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury Background Introduction Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a common neurological disorder that can lead to long-term cognitive, emotional, and physical symptoms. Although many patients experience symptom relief within months after the injury, a sign...
