Transient elastography is the best accepted noninvasive technique for evaluating fibrosis in patients with HCV.

The variation in the LSM measurement can demonstrate the risk of liver-related events.

The presence of LSM ≥19 kPa 6 months after treatment increases the risk of liver-related events.

Apatinib combined with TMZ is effective for recurrent GB.

Apatinib combined with TMZ can reduce the levels of sPD-1 and sPD-L1.

Role of the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway in epilepsy.

Effects of the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway on ferroptosis and oxidative stress in neuronal cells.

Effect of Keap1/Nrf2 pathway on neuronal cell activity in epileptic rats.

The authors created a new predictive model based on HALP scores in progressive NSCLC.

HALP score may be an accurate prognostic factor for PFS and OS in advanced NSCLC.

Radiotherapy benefits prognosis in papillary renal cell carcinoma.

A precise nomogram predicts survival in pRCC patients.

External validation confirms the nomogram's applicability to Chinese pRCC.

Blood transfusion significantly impacts long-term all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the US population.

After propensity score-matching, the risk of all-cause mortality increased by 78 % with blood transfusion, and the risk of cardiovascular mortality increased by 102 %.

The effective management of blood transfusion in the general population may be beneficial.

• Patient-doctor communication relates to patient satisfaction and perceived empathy.

• Patients asking questions was linked to poor satisfaction and empathy perceptions.

• Doctor's use of negative communication skills related to worse rapport with patients.

• Satisfaction and empathy are positively linked to patient affective expression.

• Doctors providing advice/suggestions positively correlated to patient satisfaction.

The study developed an animal model of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH).

CIH activated oxidative stress (OS) inhearts, increased ROS, and up-regulated TRPC5.

TRPC5 is related to OS, the imbalance of Ca2+ homeostasis, and myocardial injury.

The prognosis of patients with SCLC can be predicted by their LN status.

The authors aimed to assess the correlations between SCLC survival and LNR, pLNs, LODDS.

LODDS may be better than other LN assessment tools at predicting survival in SCLC.

PMAIP1 may be a potential biomarker for Alzheimer's Disease.

PMAIP1 has a certain pro-apoptotic effect.

PMAIP1 is participate in hippocampal neuron damage by regulating mitochondrial function.
