Authors: Guo Xiaohui , Khatibi Abdol Ali
Published: October 2024

One of the main research directions in current environmental responsibility behavior is to explore its influencing factors. Therefore, this study constructs a two-dimensional model of "cognition + affective → behavior" to analyze the influencing mechanism of "cognition" and "affection" factors on urban residents' environmental responsibility behavior (URERB). Among them, environmental knowledge (EK) as an explanation of environmental cognitive factors, and place attachment (PA) and anticipated emotions (AE) as an explanation of environmental affective factors, are considered as independent variables; URERB is the dependent variable. Based on this model, three research hypotheses are proposed. The research results show that: 1) "cognition + affective" factors can effectively assess the influencing factors of URERB; 2) environmental knowledge has a positive impact on URERB; 3) place attachment has a direct and significant positive effect on URERB; 4) anticipated emotions do not show a direct and significant impact on URERB. Therefore, by implementing the "cognition + affective" strategy, urban green spaces can effectively promote URERB and stimulate urban residents' proactive participation in environmental protection.

Authors: Song Beichen
Published: October 2024

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a malignant clonal disease originating from hematopoietic stem cells. In the past few decades, AML treatment has been dominated by a "3+7" regimen (anthracyclines + cytarabine), and the survival curve has stagnated. However, these procedures are associated with serious adverse effects. The development of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell treatment provides a viable alternative, with decreased non-relapse death rates. Despite its potential, CAR-T cell therapy for AML confronts significant obstacles due to the disease's heterogeneity and accompanying toxicity. Genetic alteration strategies are being investigated to improve its safety and efficacy. Engineering CAR-T cells to express inhibitory receptors or suicide genes can help regulate T cell activity and prevent excessive immune activation. In summary, while CAR-T cell treatment has promise for AML, overcoming its hurdles through genetic modification and target refining is crucial. This review focuses on the existing landscape and future directions of CAR-T cell treatment for AML.

The dynamics of the assimilating surface area and leaf blade area in the flowering phase for sample VR-99 was 63.75 (thousand m2/g). In the seed ripening phase, the leaf area was 142.8 (thousand m2/g). The total photosynthetic potential of the leaf surface was 2272.05 million m2 day/ha. Amaranth samples of the genus Amaranthus hypochondriacus L. (BP-99, K-51, K-61, K-63), due to their unique properties, are promising for use as a fodder crop, and its inclusion in the agrophytocenosis of the foothill zone of North Ossetia will provide high-quality forage.

Background: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a genetic disease of phosphate metabolism in which inactivating mutations of the phosphate regulating endopeptidase homolog, X-linked (PHEX) gene lead to local and systemic effects. In our pediatric clinics, XLH was observed to be associated with multiple complications despite conventional treatment. There is a need for novel treatment modalities to prevent disease progression and aid in the resolution of symptoms.
Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study aimed to understand the manifestations and complications of XLH in patients followed up at the endocrinology clinics in King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center in Saudi Arabia. The study was conducted by reviewing the medical files of all XLH patients at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center.
Results: All the patients (N=24) who were included in this study had PHEX gene mutations. The mean age was 18.7 13.6 years and 68% were females. The mean height standard deviation score (HSDS) was ‑2.96 (-5.25 to -0.97) and 12 patients reached their final height (mean final HSDS, -3.28 [-1.39 to ‑5.39]). Skeletal deformities (mainly genu varum) were observed in 68% of the patients and 29% had craniosynostosis; 54% had undergone corrective osteotomy. Hyperparathyroidism was observed in 54% of the patients and 45% of the patients had nephrocalcinosis (grades 2/3).
Conclusions: In our study, a majority of the XLH patients suffered from complications arising from the use of conventional therapy, thus indicating the need for novel treatment modalities for these patients. Additionally, no correlation between genotype and phenotype was found.

Objectives: To investigate the effectiveness and outcomes of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in patients with nasal polyps.
Methods: A thorough search was conducted for pertinent literature using PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Wiley Library. Rayyan QRCI was used throughout this extensive procedure.
Results: Our results included nine studies with a total of 780 patients, and 490 (62.8%) were males. The follow-up duration ranged from 4 months to 24 months. All of the included patients underwent ESS for chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Patients with CRSwNP and refractory CRSwNP reported better self-evaluated olfactory function after using ESS, experienced a higher reduction in polyp load, and better quality of life.
Conclusion: Patients with CRSwNP reported significant improvements in quality of life and major symptoms when using ESS. The quality of the available data, as established in this evaluation, is low enough to make firm recommendations for the best course of surgical therapy. From a precision medicine perspective, high-quality studies are needed to phenotype these patients in order to identify which ones will benefit most from each type of medicinal and surgical therapy, including a combination of both, with long-term efficiency being a crucial result.

The main objective of this study is to compare any differences in the clinical response to rosuvastatin and atorvastatin in patients with cardiovascular disease. PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Clinical Key were systematically searched for relevant literature. Rayyan QRCI was employed throughout this comprehensive process. We included eleven studies with a total of 6168 patients; 3231 (52.4%) patients received Atorvastatin, and 2937 (47.6%) received Rosuvastatin. Regarding ACS patients, Rosuvastatin outperformed Atorvastatin in improving laboratory indices and inflammatory markers and lowering LDL. In STEMI patients undergoing PCI, Atorvastatin was linked to less dysfunctional coronary circulation, better coronary microcirculation in patients with STEMI having primary PCI, and may enhance microvascular coronary perfusion immediately following PCI more effectively than a high-dose rosuvastatin preloading. The one study included patients undergoing CABG and did not find any differences between Atorvastatin and Rosuvastatin in preventing post-CABG atrial fibrillation (AF). These results suggest that when developing treatment plans for patients with cardiovascular disease, physicians may be able to combine atorvastatin with rosuvastatin. Cost considerations, tolerability, and patient-specific characteristics should all be taken into account during the decision-making process.
