Carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals mediated flower-like zinc oxide for antimicrobial without activation of light.

Conventional light-driven antimicrobial strategies of zinc oxide (ZnO) are limited by inadequate illumination in dark environments. In this study, carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals (MCNC) mediated flower-like ZnO (C@Z) with self-promoted reactive oxygen species release under dark is fabricated. The adsorption of Zn ions on MCNC prompts the growth of ZnO along the (002) crystal plane, forming a flower-like hybrid with superior dispersibility and oxygen vacancies compared to MCNC-free ZnO, which exposes the (100) plane.

Inovirus-Encoded Peptides Induce Specific Toxicity in .

is a common opportunistic pathogen associated with nosocomial infections. The primary treatment for infections typically involves antibiotics, which can lead to the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains. Therefore, there is a pressing need for safe and effective alternative methods.

[Accuracy of dynamic navigation system for immediate dental implant placement].

Objective: Dynamic navigation approaches are widely employed in the context of implant placement surgery. Implant surgery can be divided into immediate and delayed surgery according to the time of implantation. This retrospective study was developed to compare the accuracy of dynamic navigation system for immediate and delayed implantations.

Development a glycosylated extracellular vesicle-derived miRNA Signature for early detection of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to the lack of non-invasive early detection tools, which significantly impacts patient prognosis. Given that glycosylation alterations especially high sialylation and fucosylation, frequently occur during cellular malignant transformation, but their roles are not elucidated. We examined alterations in disease-specific glycosylated extracellular vesicles (EVs)-derived miRNAs in the serum of ESCC patients, evaluating their utility as diagnostic biomarkers.

The effect of immunosuppression on outcomes in elderly patients with community-acquired pneumonia.

Background: The effect of immunosuppression on clinical manifestations and outcomes was unclear in elderly patients with CAP.

Methods: Elderly hospitalised patients with CAP were consecutively enrolled and were divided into immunocompromised hosts (ICHs) or non-ICHs groups. Clinical manifestations, severity, and outcomes were compared.
