A stimuli-responsive hydrogel for reversible information storage, encryption and decryption.

Smart hydrogel materials, known for their sensitivity to external stimuli, exhibit a reversible dynamic response and find applications in diverse fields, particularly in information storage. Despite significant efforts in this domain, developing a hydrogel with high-resolution, repeatable recording, and robust information encryption/decryption capabilities still remains a challenge. In this study, we synthesized a polymer hydrogel, namely polyvinyl alcohol-n-isopropylacrylamide-octadecyl polyoxyethylene ether acrylate hydrogel (PPNS), which features multiple hydrogen bonds through copolymerization, by using N-isopropylacrylamide, polyvinyl alcohol, and octadecyl polyoxyethylene ether acrylate (SGA) as raw materials.

Probucol attenuates high glucose-induced Müller cell damage through enhancing the Nrf2/p62 signaling pathway.

Purpose: This study investigated the protective effect of probucol on Müller cells exposed to high glucose conditions and examined potential mechanisms of action.

Methods: Primary human retinal Müller cells were incubated with high glucose (HG, 35 mM) in the present or absence of different concentrations of probucol for 24 h. Cell viability was determined using the CCK-8 method.

Impact of a novel prognostic model on allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation outcomes in patients with CMML.

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a clonal hematopoietic stem cell malignancy, and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the only curable treatment. The outcomes after transplant are influenced by both disease characteristics and patient comorbidities. To develop a novel prognostic model to predict the post-transplant survival of CMML patients, we identified risk factors by applying univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression to a derivation cohort.

Probucol promotes high glucose-induced proliferation and inhibits apoptosis by reducing reactive oxygen species generation in Müller cells.

Purpose: To explore the protective effect of probucol on human retinal Müller cells cultured in high glucose.

Methods: Primary Müller cells from human retinas were cultured in complete DMEM. Third-generation Müller cells were identified using glutamine synthetase (GS) antibody and randomly divided into three groups: normoglycemia (NG, 5.

[Expression and Clinical Significance of C/EBPα Gene in Elderly Multiple Myeloma].

Objective: To investigate the expression of C/EBPα gene in elderly patients with multiple myeloma （MM） and its prognostic significance.

Methods: Sixty-nine olderly patients with multiple myeloma (MM) treated in our hospital from February 2015 to October 2017 were selected and enrolled in the MM group, 38 healthy persons received physical examination were selected and enrolled in the control group. The bone marrow of 2 groups was collected and the mononuclear cells were isolated.

A novel effect of imidazole derivative KK-42 on increasing survival of Aeromonas hydrophila challenged prawn Macrobrachium nipponense.

Imidazole derivative KK-42 is well known as the insect growth regulator. Here we find that KK-42 pretreatment could promote the survival of Macrobrachium nipponense infected with Aeromonas hydrophila, which is considered to be possibly related to the prophenoloxidase (proPO), a conserved copper-containing enzyme that plays an important role in defense against pathogens. In this study, a full-length of proPO gene from M.

[Correlations of S100A4 and MMP9 expressions to infiltration, metastasis and prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer].

Objective: To observe the expressions of metastasis-associated protein (S100A4) and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and investigate their correlations to the infiltration, metastasis and prognosis of NSCLC.

Methods: The expressions of S100A4 and MMP9 were detected in 41 NSCLC specimens and 6 normal lung tissue specimens using immunohistochemistry with SP method. Univariate and multivariate survival analysis were used to analyze the correlations of S100A4 and MMP9 to the clinicopathological characteristics and progrnosis of NSCLC.

[Correlations of S100A4 protein expression to invasion and metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer].

Background & Objective: Metastasis-associated protein S100A4 is overexpressed in many malignant tumor cells; it may play a pivotal role in invasion and metastasis of malignant tumors. This study was to determine the expression of S100A4 in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to investigate its correlations to invasion and metastasis of NSCLC.

Methods: The expression of S100A4 in 41 specimens of NSCLC and 6 specimens of normal lung tissues was detected by SP immunohistochemistry.
