[Retracted] Inhibition airway remodeling and transforming growth factor ‑β1/Smad signaling pathway by astragalus extract in asthmatic mice
Int J Mol Med. 2023 Oct;52(4):87. doi: 10.3892/ijmm.2023.5290. Epub 2023 Aug 18.ABSTRACTFollowing the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that the P‑smad2 western blotting data shown in Fig. 7 were strikingly similar to data appearing in different form (namely, the bands appeared in the reverse orientation) in Fig. 4A in another article [Lv Z‑D, Na D, Liu F‑N, Du Z‑M, Sun Z, Li Z, Ma X‑Y, Wang Z‑N and Xu H‑M: Induction of gastric cancer cell adhesion through transforming growth factor‑beta1‑mediated peritoneal fibrosis.

Pattern and time point of relapse in locally advanced esophagogastric adenocarcinoma after multimodal treatment: implications for a useful structured follow-up
CONCLUSIONS: The risk of relapse differs significantly between high- and low-risk patients. Only a part of relapses is associated with clinical symptoms. An individualized follow-up strategy is recommended for high- and low-risk patients considering the individual risk of relapse.PMID:37589924 | DOI:10.1007/s00432-023-05254-4 (Source: Clin Med Res)

Adherence to interdisciplinary tumor board recommendations as an expression of quality-assured patient care: results of a bicentric German analysis
CONCLUSION: ITB adherences analyses can serve as a quality management tool to monitor the implementation rate of ITB recommendations and to stay in contact with practitioners, other hospitals and state cancer registries to share data and resources in accordance with data protection requirements for continuously improvement of quality management and patient care.PMID:37592032 | DOI:10.1007/s00432-023-05253-5 (Source: Clin Med Res)

Protein Induced by Vitamin K Absence or Antagonist-II Versus Alpha-Fetoprotein in the Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSION: This study reveals that PIVKA-II is a promising biomarker for identifying and tracking HCC, exhibiting greater accuracy than AFP. Our findings indicate that PIVKA-II outperforms AFP in detecting HCC across diverse racial groups and sample sizes, as well as in cases of HBV-related, HCV-related, or mixed-etiology HCC.PMID:37575350 | PMC:PMC10416192 | DOI:10.14740/jocmr4951 (Source: Clin Med Res)

Oral Semaglutide Induces Loss of Body Fat Mass Without Affecting Muscle Mass in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
CONCLUSION: The 24-week treatment with oral semaglutide ameliorated glycemic control with reduction of body fat but not muscle mass in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.PMID:37575352 | PMC:PMC10416191 | DOI:10.14740/jocmr4987 (Source: Clin Med Res)

Descriptive Study of Patients Treated in a Psychosomatic Internal Medicine Declared by Japanese Family Medicine Clinic
CONCLUSIONS: Patients who visited a PSIM wanted consultation about psychological problems. Patients with a diagnosis of a psychological problem at the initial visit were less likely to drop out.PMID:37575353 | PMC:PMC10416189 | DOI:10.14740/jocmr4939 (Source: Clin Med Res)

Radiologic Features of T10 Paravertebral Muscle Sarcopenia: Prognostic Factors in COVID-19
CONCLUSIONS: Easy to obtain and accurately calculated, radiologic features can provide a reliable alternative to laboratory methods for predicting survival in COVID-19. Thoracic muscles' CSA measurement in the level of the T10 vertebra, an acclaimed prognostic imaging assessment that relates directly to CT-SS and inflammatory markers in COVID-19 pneumonia, is a fairly specific tool for survival prognosis.PMID:37575354 | PMC:PMC10416190 | DOI:10.14740/jocmr4963 (Source: Clin Med Res)
