Sonocatalytic therapy (SCT) has emerged as a promising noninvasive modality for tumor treatment but is hindered by the insufficient generation of ultrasound-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the hypoxic tumor microenvironments. Herein, we fabricated a carbon nanoframe-confined N-coordinated manganese single-atom sonocatalyst with a five-coordinated structure (MnN SA/CNF) using a phthalocyanine-mediated pyrolysis strategy. The precise coordination structure was identified by synchrotron X-ray absorption fine structure analyses.

Article Synopsis
  • Breast cancer (BRCA) has various molecular subtypes that require personalized treatment, and finding new therapeutic targets is crucial for improving outcomes.
  • The study identifies Cytochromeb561 (CYB561) as a protein that is highly expressed in HER2-positive breast cancer and is linked to poorer prognoses by promoting cell proliferation and migration.
  • CYB561 enhances the expression of macroH2A (H2AFY) by inhibiting its degradation, which subsequently increases levels of NF-κB, making CYB561 a potential novel target for treating HER2-positive breast cancer.

This study was designed to explore the influence of myelin protein zero-like protein 1 (MPZL1) on the stem-like properties of cancer cells and the underlying mechanism in lung adenocarcinoma. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was utilized to evaluate mRNA expression level. CCK8, wound healing, and transwell assays were applied to assess cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.

Introduction: Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. Patients with high-risk neuroblastoma have a 5-year survival rate less than 50% after extensive treatment. Signaling pathways control cell fate decisions that dictate the behavior of tumor cells.

Objectives: This study was conducted in order to develop and validate an ultrasonic-based radiomics nomogram for diagnosing solid renal masses.

Methods: Six hundred renal solid masses with benign renal lesions ( = 204) and malignant renal tumors ( = 396) were divided into a training set ( = 480) and a validation set ( = 120). Radiomics features were extracted from ultrasound (US) images preoperatively and then a radiomics score (RadScore) was calculated.

To establish and validate a nomogram integrating radiomics signatures from ultrasound and clinical factors to discriminate between benign, borderline, and malignant serous ovarian tumors. In this study, a total of 279 pathology-confirmed serous ovarian tumors collected from 265 patients between March 2013 and December 2016 were used. The training cohort was generated by randomly selecting 70% of each of the three types (benign, borderline, and malignant) of tumors, while the remaining 30% was included in the validation cohort.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of polymorphism (C 100C>T, rs1065852) on clinical outcomes of female Asian breast cancer patients with tamoxifen adjuvant treatment.

Methods: Meta-analysis of retrospective cohort studies published in July 2017 was performed. Fifteen studies with 1,794 Asian breast cancer patients were included, using strict eligibility requirements.

Previous studies have shown that behavioral sensitization is modulated by drug-associated context, in which memory processes may be critically involved. Sleep has been suggested to play an important role in memory processes. However, the relationship between sleep and context-modulated effects on behavioral sensitization remains to be elucidated.

Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to examine how chronic nicotine affects fear memory in rats, using injections of either nicotine or saline over 14 days.
  • Results showed that nicotine withdrawal led to increased withdrawal symptoms initially, but fear memory was enhanced in nicotine-treated rats only during a memory test, not during the initial conditioning phase.
  • The findings suggest that nicotine enhances contextual fear memory in rats without affecting physical signs of withdrawal, activity levels, or sensitivity to footshocks.
