[Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging of brain iron deposition: comparison between quantitative susceptibility mapping and transverse relaxation rate (R2*) mapping].
To evaluate the accuracy and sensitivity of quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) and transverse relaxation rate (R2*) mapping in the measurement of brain iron deposition. ⋯ QSM allows more accurate and sensitive detection of brain iron deposition than R2*, and the susceptibility derived by QSM can be a potentially useful biomarker for studying PD.

[Vaspin protects against lipopolysaccharide-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome in mice by inhibiting inflammation and protecting vascular endothelium via PI3K/Akt signal pathway].
To investigate the effects of Vaspin on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in mice and explore the possible mechanism. ⋯ Vaspin protects against LPS-induced ARDS in mice possibly by inhibiting inflammation and protecting vascular endothelium through upregulation of the PI3K/Akt signal pathway.

[A single-team experience with robotic pancreatic surgery in 1010 cases].
To assess the safety and advantages of robotic pancreatic surgery (RPS) based on the single-team experience with 1010 cases. ⋯ This represents to our knowledge the world largest series of robotic pancreatic resections. RPS is expected to gradually replace open procedure and laparoscopic procedure to become the primary choice of approach for pancreatectomy. After the learning curve, RPS procedure including distal pancreatectomy, robotic Appleby procedure and other operations can be safely performed, and the experiences from other centers can be beneficial to reduce severe complications in the early stage of learning.

[Prognostic value of preoperative serum albumin in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer undergoing transurethral resection of bladder tumor].
To assess the value of preoperative serum albumin level in predicting the survival of patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) undergoing transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). ⋯ A low preoperative albumin level predicts a poor 5-year OS in patients with NMIBC who underwent TURBT. Preoperative serum albumin can be a good prognostic factor for predicting survival of the patients with NMIBC treated with TURBT.

[Brahma-related gene 1 promotes airway mucus hypersecretion via STAT6 in asthmatic mice].
To investigate the effect of Brahma-related gene 1 (Brg1) on mucus hypersecretion in the airway of asthmatic mice and explore the mechanism. ⋯ Brg1 gene knockdown in type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells alleviates OVA-induced airway mucus hypersecretion and reduces the expression of MUC5AC in C57bl/6 mice possibly by inhibiting STAT6 activation, suggesting the role of Brg1 in promoting asthmatic airway mucus hypersecretion.
