To date, few systematic approach has been established for predicting catalytic performance by analyzing the spectral information of molecules adsorbed on photocatalyst surfaces. Effective charge transfer (CT) between the semiconductor photocatalysts and surface-absorbed molecules is essential for enhancing catalytic activity and optimizing light energy utilization. This study aimed to validate the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based on the CT enhancement mechanism in investigating the CT process during semiconductor photocatalytic C-C coupling model reactions.

Aim: To review the existing literature relating to nurse competence in safe medication management practices for biologics, identify evidence, and develop a competency framework to clarify the role of nurses in these practices.

Background: With the widespread use of biological agents in disease treatment, ensuring the safe and economical use of high-cost medicines is particularly important. Even though nurses are essential in patient care, detailed knowledge regarding their competence and role in the safe administration of biologics is lacking.

Background And Purpose: CGG repeat expansion in the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) of the Notch 2 N-terminal-like C gene () has been associated with neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) and oculopharyngodistal myopathy type 3 (OPDM3). Few OPDM3 patients have been reported. This report describes two OPDM3 patients with novel imaging findings who presented the typical features of NIID, and reviews all OPDM3 cases available in the literature.

In our previous study, we reported a series of N-(9,10-anthraquinone-2-carbonyl) amino acid derivatives as novel inhibitors of xanthine oxidase (XO). Recognizing the suboptimal drug-like properties associated with the anthraquinone moiety, we embarked on a nonanthraquinone medicinal chemistry exploration in the current investigation. Through systematic structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, we identified a series of 4-(isopentyloxy)-3-nitrobenzamide derivatives exhibiting excellent in vitro potency against XO.

Objective: A case of pustular psoriasis after treatment with secukinumab in a patient with plaque psoriasis is reported, which is the first case in China. To summarize the clinical characteristics of patients who developed the rare paradoxical reaction and treatment options received IL-17A antagonist therapy, we conducted a further literature review.

Methods: Data were analyzed from a patient with plaque psoriasis who developed pustular psoriasis after treatment with secukinumab.

Lupus erythematosus (LE) is a heterogeneous, antibody-mediated autoimmune disease. Isolate discoid LE (IDLE) and systematic LE (SLE) are traditionally regarded as the two ends of the spectrum, ranging from skin-limited damage to life-threatening multi-organ involvement. Both belong to LE, but IDLE and SLE differ in appearance of skin lesions, autoantibody panels, pathological changes, treatments, and immunopathogenesis.

Article Synopsis
  • Lupus erythematosus (LE) is a group of autoimmune diseases that can affect the skin, and it's hard for AI to tell the different types apart.
  • Researchers created a new deep learning system to help doctors correctly identify these types of LE and other similar skin conditions using many images and data collected from multiple locations in China.
  • The new system significantly improved the accuracy of doctors in diagnosing LE, raising their success rate from about 67% to over 81%, showing how helpful AI can be in medicine.

Cyclophosphamide (CTX), a widely used chemotherapeutic agent for cancer treatment, has been associated with long-term toxicity and detrimental effects on oocytes and ovaries, resulting in female reproductive dysfunction. This study aimed to investigate the potential impact of CTX on in vitro maturation (IVM) injury of porcine oocytes and subsequent embryonic development, as well as its effects on epigenetic modification and gene activation during early embryonic development. The results demonstrated that CTX treatment caused aberrant spindle structure and mitochondrial dysfunction during oocyte maturation, inducing DNA damage and early apoptosis, which consequently disrupted meiotic maturation.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has outstanding merits in biochemical molecular analysis, and the development of new SERS substrates is the focus of research. Herein, InO nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by a high temperature pyrolysis method with cubic phase and small particle size at 10 nm. The structures and properties of InO NPs were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and other characterization methods.

An acute diffuse pustular eruption occurred in a patient after secukinumab injection and then the clinical presentation has been related to streptococcus infection after it has been isolated from throat swabs. Pustulosisacuta generalisata was definitively diagnosed. Antibiotic treatment had a poor effect, but the response to glucocorticoids was better.

Obesity is a global health problem strongly linked to gut microbes and their metabolites. In this study, ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1) reduced lipid droplet size and hepatic lipid accumulation by activating uncoupling protein 1 expression in brown adipose tissue (BAT), which in turn inhibited high-fat diet (HFD)-induced weight gain in mice. Furthermore, the intestinal flora of mice was altered, the abundance of , , , and was upregulated, and the concentrations of fecal bile acids were altered, with cholic acid and taurocholic acid concentrations being significantly increased.

The prediction of the initial stress in composites is essential for the non-destructive testing (NDT) and structural health monitoring (SHM) of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP). This paper examines the potential of Lamb waves in the inverse of initial stress by calculating the influence of initial stress on the dispersion characteristics of Lamb waves propagating in multilayered CFRP laminates. By introducing the mechanics of incremental deformation into the linear three-dimensional elasticity theory, the Legendre orthogonal polynomial expansion (LOPE) method is used to mathematically model the Lamb wave propagating in multilayered CFRP laminates subjected to horizontal and vertical homogeneous initial stresses.

The host genome may influence the composition of the intestinal microbiota, and the intestinal microbiota has a significant effect on muscle growth and development. In this study, we found that the deletion of the myostatin () gene positively regulates the expression of the intestinal tight junction-related genes and through the myosin light-chain kinase/myosin light chain pathway. The intestinal structure of pigs differed from wild-type, including by the presence of a thicker muscularis and longer plicae.

  • The study focused on gay sex workers (GSWs), also called money boys (MBs), in China, investigating the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and antimicrobial resistance among them over a four-year period.
  • A total of 349 GSWs participated, revealing a 26.4% HIV positivity rate and significant rates of other infections, with a noteworthy correlation between inconsistent condom usage and drug use, and infection rates.
  • High levels of antimicrobial resistance were found; 83% of GSWs with STIs showed resistance mutations in the 23S rRNA gene, and 79.8% had mutations related to fluoroquinolone resistance, highlighting serious public health concerns.

Nonlinear guided elastic waves have attracted extensive attention owing to their high sensitivity to microstructural changes. However, based on the widely used second harmonics, third harmonics and static components, it is still difficult to locate the micro-defects. Perhaps the nonlinear mixing of guided waves can solve these problems since their modes, frequencies and propagation direction can be flexibly selected.

Post-ovulatory aging, a major problem faced by oocytes cultured in vitro, causes oxidative damage and mitochondrial dysfunction in oocytes. The ginsenoside Rh2 is one of the main monomeric components of ginseng, but its effects on porcine oocytes are unknown. In the present study, in vitro aging (IVA) and accelerated induction of aging using HO resulted in DNA damage and an increased incidence of abnormal spindle formation in porcine oocytes.
