The One Health (OH) approach, integrating aspects of human, animal, and environmental health, still lacks robustly quantified insights into its complex relationships. To fill this knowledge gap, we devised a comprehensive assessment scheme for OH to assess its progress, synergies, trade-offs, and priority targets. From 2000 to 2020, we find evidence for global progress toward OH, albeit uneven, with its average score rising from 61.

The objective of this study was to identify characteristic factors for pathological complete response (pCR) in patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) undergoing surgery and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). We retrospectively collected pathological data from 237 LABC patients treated in Affiliated Fuzhou First Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2010 to June 2021 and divided them into a training group (n = 166) and a validation group (n = 71) in a 7:3 ratio. A predictive model for pCR was established through logistic regression analysis and evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the curve (AUC).

Radiotherapy is a primary modality in cancer treatment but is accompanied by severe side effects to healthy tissues and radiation resistance to some extent. To overcome these limitations, we developed a HO-responsive photosensitizer, CyBT, which could be activated by the upregulated HO induced by radiotherapy, enabling near-infrared fluorescence imaging-guided combination photodynamic and radiotherapy. The synthesis of CyBT began with the covalent linkage of hemicyanine and a free radical TEMPO through the click reaction, which demonstrated superior photodynamic properties.

The calcium (Ca) sensor ROD1 (RESISTANCE OF RICE TO DISEASES1) is a master regulator of immunity in rice. By screening suppressors of mutants, we show that ROD1 governs immune homeostasis by surveilling the activation of a canonical immune pathway. Mutations in (), (), (), and () all abolish enhanced disease resistance of plants.

Lung metastasis in breast cancer (BC) patients is one of the main reasons for their high mortality rate. The most prevalent BC small extracellular vesicles (sEVs receptor, integrin α6β4, has been found to interact with surfactant-associated protein (SFTPC) in lung epithelial cells, making BC more likely to metastasize to the lung. Tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) play an essential role in BC lung metastasis as a component of the lung pre-metastatic niche (PMN) with two sides.

Purpose: Scalp cooling therapy (SCT) improves chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA), but there are few published data about its efficacy in an Asian-predominant population. We report our tertiary institution experience of SCT in patients with breast or gynaecological cancers undergoing chemotherapy.

Methods: The Paxman scalp cooling system was employed for eligible women with breast or gynaecological cancers receiving anthracycline or taxane-based chemotherapy.

Fungal laccase producers can effectively address bisphenol A (BPA) and antibiotic-contaminated water. However, the role of small mediators produced by fungal secondary metabolism in enhancing the removal of refractory contaminants is often overlooked. In this work, an efficient laccase-producing strain, Trametes hirsuta La-7, was activated to simultaneously treat BPA and antibiotics.

Eu-doped YO-based luminescent materials can be used as a scintillator for electron or high energy β-ray irradiation, which are essential for applications such as electron microscopy and nuclear batteries. Therefore, it is essential to understand their defect mechanisms and to develop materials with excellent properties. In this paper, YO-based transparent ceramics with different Eu doping concentrations were prepared by solid-state reactive vacuum sintering.

Anthracnose of the tea plant (), caused by spp., poses a significant threat to both the yield and quality of tea production. To address this challenge, researchers have looked to the application of endophytic bacteria as a natural alternative to the use chemical pesticides, offering potential for enhancing disease resistance and abiotic stress tolerance in tea plants.

Article Synopsis
  • Neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy (nCIT) shows better short-term outcomes than neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) for patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC), particularly in terms of pathological responses and survival rates.
  • A study analyzed 131 pairs of patients treated with nCIT or nCT, finding that nCIT led to higher rates of complete tumor response and improved surgical outcomes, including tumor down-staging and lymph node clearance.
  • Although nCIT resulted in better disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) at 3 years, further research is required to confirm long-term benefits.

Objective: With the development of day surgery, the characteristics of "short, frequent and fast" ophthalmic surgery are becoming more prominent. However, nurses are not efficient in verifying patients' surgical information, and problems such as patient privacy leakage are becoming more prominent. To improve the situation, we developed a new augmented reality (AR)-based tool for visual recognition and artificial intelligent (AI) interpretation of the pattern and location of patient surgical skin markings for the verification of the correct surgical site and procedure.

  • Ovarian cancer, the deadliest gynecological cancer, faces major treatment obstacles, particularly with PARP inhibitors (PARPi) for BRCA1/2-mutated tumors, as resistance to these drugs is a significant challenge.
  • An experiment developed a PARPi-resistant cell line (A2780-OlaR), revealing increased levels of CYP1B1, and demonstrated that manipulating its expression affected responses to Olaparib, the PARP inhibitor.
  • The study concludes that CYP1B1 plays a crucial role in PARPi resistance, showing how chromatin accessibility impacts drug effectiveness and suggesting new strategies to fight ovarian cancer.

  • G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a key role in how cells respond to hormones and environmental signals, and this study focuses on their involvement in ferroptosis and liver injury.
  • Researchers found that the receptor GPR56 helps cells resist ferroptosis, and its absence worsens liver damage caused by drugs or lack of oxygen.
  • The study highlights 17α-hydroxypregnenolone (17-OH PREG) as a potential therapeutic agent that activates GPR56 to protect against ferroptosis and maintain liver health, while mutant forms of GPR56 fail to respond to this hormone.

Background: Lung cancer is a major contributor to cancer-related death worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 85% of all lung cancers. Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are currently viewed as the established first-line therapy for patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutations.

Metformin, a widely used oral hypoglycemic drug, has emerged as a potential therapeutic agent for cancer treatment. While initially known for its role in managing diabetes, accumulating evidence suggests that metformin exhibits anticancer properties through various mechanisms. Several cellular or animal experiments have attempted to elucidate the role of non-coding RNA molecules, including microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs, in mediating the anticancer effects of metformin.

Article Synopsis
  • The posterior left atrium (LAPW) plays a significant role in atrial fibrillation (AF), and adding posterior wall isolation (PWI) to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) was studied for its effectiveness in preventing AF recurrence.
  • A systematic review of 21 studies with over 3,100 patients showed that PWI improved atrial tachyarrhythmia-free survival by 14% compared to PVI alone, especially benefiting those with persistent AF.
  • Although PWI increased the procedure and ablation times, it did not heighten the risk of complications, meaning it is a safe and effective addition to PVI for maintaining sinus rhythm in persistent AF cases.

Article Synopsis
  • This study introduces a microfluidic microneedle patch combining 3D printing and a control system to continuously monitor blood glucose levels and administer drugs in diabetic patients.
  • The novel approach enhances a hydrogel made from PVA-PEG-MoS nanosheets, which detects glucose by changing its dielectric properties and thus altering the capacitance in a microcapacitor setup.
  • Experimental results indicate that using microcapacitors in parallel within microfluidic channels leads to more accurate and linear blood glucose measurement compared to traditional methods.
