Tracheloside attenuates pulmonary fibrosis via AMPK-NOX4 signaling
Chinese Journal of Natural MedicinesIn mouse and cell-based models, tracheloside mitigated fibrotic remodeling by activating AMPK and suppressing NOX4-driven oxidative stress, implicating an AMPK/NOX4 axis in anti-fibrotic activity.

Endoscopic transoral surgery for skull base tumors
Higher Education PressA significant surgical review demonstrates the efficacy and evolving refinements of fully endoscopic transoral approaches for the resection of select skull base tumors, highlighting a trajectory toward less invasive management with the potential for reduced morbidity and improved patient recovery.
Let the history speak: Zero-shot LLMs for diagnosing vestibular disorders
Higher Education PressA pioneering study demonstrates the promising capability of zero-shot large language models (LLMs) to analyze patient-reported symptom narratives and accurately differentiate between common peripheral vestibular disorders, offering a potential tool to augment clinical diagnostic reasoning and improve access to specialist-level insights.
HPV genotype as a predictor of bevacizumab treatment response in recurrent respiratory papillomatosis patients
Higher Education PressA landmark clinical study identifies Human Papillomavirus (HPV) genotype as a significant independent predictor of treatment response in patients with Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (RRP), revealing that tumors associated with HPV-11 exhibit a substantially better response to intralesional bevacizumab therapy compared to those driven by HPV-6.
Reimagining audiology in China: Insights from the United States model
Higher Education PressA thought-provoking perspective article analyzes the evolution and structure of the audiology profession in the United States, offering key insights and actionable recommendations for reimagining and advancing the training, scope of practice, and professional standing of audiologists in China to better meet burgeoning public health needs.

New review identifies biomechanical changes driving spinal disc degeneration
Higher Education PressA groundbreaking study for the first time systematically clarifies the biomechanical effects of first coronal reverse vertebrae (FCRV) on adjacent intervertebral discs in degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) using a high-precision finite element (FE) model. By simulating five physiological postures, the research reveals that the lower disc (LD) adjacent to FCRV sustains significantly higher stress during neutral standing, the most frequent daily posture, making it more prone to degeneration. This work provides critical biomechanical evidence for interpreting DLS progression and optimizing surgical strategies.
