Introduction
Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is a precancerous lesion of cervical cancer, classified into three grades. CIN I is considered a low-grade precancerous lesion with a relatively low risk of malignancy, while CIN II and III have a higher risk of cancer progression. With environmental changes and advancements in medical technology, the detection rate of CIN has increased.

AbstractThis study investigates the role of Ste20-like kinase (SLK) in cytoskeletal dynamics, focusing on its interaction with Ezrin and actin remodeling, independent of phosphorylation processes. We utilized HaCaT to explore the effects of SLK and Ezrin knockdown, as well as the application of specific inhibitors on the organization of actin structures.

AbstractThe Leishmania life cycle alternates between promastigotes, found in the sandfly, and amastigotes, found in mammals. When an infected sandfly bites a host, promastigotes are engulfed by phagocytes (i.e., neutrophils, dendritic cells, and macrophages) to establish infection. When these phagocytes die or break down, amastigotes must be re-internalized to survive within the acidic phagolysosome and establish disease.

We collected 152 paired human ccRCC and adjacent nontumor tissues (4 paired tissues for screening phase and 148 paired tissues for validation phase) from the Southwest Hospital of the Army Medical University (Chongqing, China, 2019–2022). Clinical characteristics are listed in Supplementary Table S1-2. The diagnosis of ccRCC was confirmed via histopathological examination. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Southwest Hospital of Army Medical University (approval number: KY2020121).

AbstractUpon transmission to the liver, Plasmodium vivax parasites form replicating schizonts, which continue to initiate blood-stage infection, or dormant hypnozoites that reactivate weeks to months after initial infection. P. vivax phenotypes in the field vary significantly, including the ratio of schizonts to hypnozoites formed and the frequency and timing of relapse. Evidence suggests that both parasite genetics and environmental factors underly this heterogeneity.

External surgical devices are reusable devices leased to hospitals by suppliers for use primarily in implant-related procedures.1 External devices used in surgery are difficult to manage for two reasons: one is the increased risk of infection owing to the frequent movement between hospitals,2 and the other is the burdensome task of counting surgical items3 brought about by the large number of external devices.4 According to research, only 13% of all surgical items on an operating table are...
