Newest firstGrowth hormone-releasing hormone receptor 1a (GHS-R1a) is a key G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) governing feeding and energy homeostasis. Accumulating evidence shows that GHS-R1a forms functional heterodimers with multiple metabolic-related GPCRs, including dopamine 2 receptor (D2R), melanocortin 3 receptor (MC3R), 5-hydroxytryptamine 2c receptor (5-HT2cR), orexin receptor 1 (OX1R) and cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background and purpose Common bile duct stones (CBDS) are a common disease. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is currently recognized as the preferred treatment method for CBDS. However, there are cases that cannot be removed through ERCP. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the value of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in assessing the success of CBDS removal throu…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant disease with high incidence and mortality worldwide. This study focuses on the TP53 target protein to investigate the potential therapeutic effect of tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) on HCC and its mechanism of action. The research hypothesis is that THC can inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells, and promote their apoptosis by regulating th…
ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of and potential risk factors associated with skin lesions resulting from the use of medical disinfectants and personal protective equipment (PPE) among epidemic prevention workers (including healthcare professionals, temporary sampling site workers, community members and volunteers) during the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-Co…
The human voltage-gated potassium channel KCNQ2/KCNQ3 carries the neuronal M-current, which helps to stabilize the membrane potential. KCNQ2 can be activated by analgesics and antiepileptic drugs but their activation mechanisms remain unclear. Here we report cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of human KCNQ2-CaM in complex with three activators, namely the antiepileptic drug cannabidiol (CBD), the lipid…
Open article record in new tab ↗The limitation of indoor visible light coverage and the attenuation of its signal when propagating in line-of-sight has seriously affected the stable communication of receiving devices when users move randomly and also aggravated the power consumption of visible light networking systems. According to the above situation, on the basis of the heterogeneous networking of visible light communication (VLC) and RF commu…
The rostral agranular insular cortex (RAIC) has been associated with pain modulation. Although the endogenous cannabinoid system (eCB) has been shown to regulate chronic pain, the roles of eCBs in the RAIC remain elusive under the neuropathic pain state. Neuropathic pain was induced in C57BL/6 mice by common peroneal nerve (CPN) ligation. The roles of the eCB were tested in the RAIC of ligated CPN C57BL/6J mice, g…
The objective of our present work was to explore the possible enhanced anti-neuroinflammatory ability of Aspergillus oryzae fermented hemp seed in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated N9 microglial cells and elucidate its underlying mechanism. The water extract of hemp seed was fermented by Aspergillus oryzae. LPS-stimulated N9 microglial cells were employed for the inflammatory cell model. The release of nitric ox…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction With the development of laparoscopic skills, the laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become the standard surgical procedure for choledocholithiasis. We usually use Hem-o-lok clips to control cystic duct and vessels, which is safe on most occasions and has few perioperative complications such as major bleeding, wound infection, bile leakage, and b…
