Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) with microwave ablation (MWA) for treating pain and improving outcomes in patients with spinal metastases.
- A total of 87 patients were analyzed, showing that those who underwent the PKP + MWA treatment experienced better recovery in various health metrics compared to those who only had PKP.
- The PKP + MWA group had improved pain relief, better quality of life, and higher survival rates within one year, while adverse events were similar between the two groups.
Exploring the Facet-Dependent Structural Evolution of Pt/CeO Catalysts Induced by Typical Pretreatments for CO Oxidation.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces
August 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how the interactions between metal catalysts (like Pt) and their oxide supports (like CeO) impact catalytic performance, particularly during pretreatment processes like reduction and oxidation.
- - Researchers used advanced techniques such as microscopy and spectroscopy to show that the specific crystal facets of CeO determine how Pt species behave under varying conditions.
- - These findings reveal that understanding the local environment of Pt species can help optimize their reactivity, specifically for reactions like CO oxidation, leading to improved catalyst designs.
Metabolic Regulation of Two Gene Transcripts in Impacts Citrinin Biosynthesis.
J Fungi (Basel)
December 2023
Citrinin (CIT), a secondary metabolite produced by the filamentous fungi species, exhibits nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic, and carcinogenic effects in mammals, remarkably restricting the utilization of -derived products. CIT synthesis is mediated through the gene and modified by multiple genetic factors. Here, the regulatory effects of two transcripts, α, and β, generated via pre-mRNA alternative splicing (AS), were investigated using hairpin RNA (ihpRNA) interference, and their impact on CIT biosynthesis and the underlying mechanisms were assessed through chemical biology and transcriptome analyses.

Methods: The goal of this research was to investigate how AP (at 0.5% and 1.
Purple sweet potato anthocyanins are kinds of natural anthocyanin red pigments extracted from the root or stem of purple sweet potato. They are stable and have the functions of anti-oxidation, anti-mutation, anti-tumor, liver protection, hypoglycemia, and anti-inflammation, which confer them a good application prospect. Nevertheless, there is not a comprehensive review of purple sweet potato anthocyanins so far.

It is commonly recognized that these active ingredients are widely found in various kinds of advanced plants. Rare saponins, a special type of the saponins class, are able to enhance bidirectional immune regulation and memory, and have anti-lipid oxidation, anticancer, and antifatigue capabilities, but they are infrequent in nature.
