Article Synopsis
  • Green tea residues, a by-product of tea processing, are rich in bioactive compounds, and steam explosion is an innovative method to alter the characteristics of polysaccharides from these materials.
  • This study compared the effects of polysaccharides from steam exploded green tea residues (SE-GTR) and unexploded green tea residues (UN-GTR) on gut microbiota and found that SE-GTR had a higher polysaccharide content and improved gut health benefits after fermentation.
  • The steam explosion treatment resulted in increased production of beneficial metabolites such as acetic, propionic, and butyric acids, while also promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacterium, suggesting it enhances the nutritional value of tea residues.

Background: Our recently developed oronary rtery ree description and esion valuaion (CatLet) angiographic scoring system is unique in its description of the variability in the coronary anatomy, the degree of stenosis of a diseased coronary artery, and its subtended myocardial territory, and can be utilized to predict clinical outcomes for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) presenting ≤12 h after symptom onset. The current study aimed to assess whether the Clinical CatLet score (CCS), as compared with CatLet score (CS), better predicted clinical outcomes for AMI patients presenting >12 h after symptom onset.

Methods: CS was calculated in 1018 consecutive AMI patients enrolled in a retrospective registry.

Article Synopsis
  • Pressure wire FFR and its derivatives are useful for detecting significant coronary artery blockages but have limitations, including side effects from medications, higher costs, and sensitivity to other factors.
  • The study retrospectively analyzed patients with moderate stenosis to assess the effectiveness of the CatLet score in predicting hemodynamically significant coronary stenosis compared to traditional FFR measurements.
  • Results showed a strong correlation between the CatLet score and FFR, suggesting that the CatLet score could be a reliable method for evaluating coronary artery disease severity.

Molecular surface reconfiguration strategies have been instrumental to performance improvements of halide perovskite photovoltaic applications in recent years. However, research into the optical properties of the lead-free double perovskite CsAgInCl on the complex reconstructed surface is still lacking. Here, blue-light excitation in double perovskite CsNaAgInCl with Bi doping has been successfully achieved by excess KBr coating and ethanol-driven structural reconstruction.

Agaricus bisporus is the most widely cultivated edible mushroom in the world with a only around three hundred years known history of cultivation. Therefore, it represents an ideal organism not only to investigate the natural evolutionary history but also the understanding on the evolution going back to the early era of domestication. In this study, we generated the mitochondrial genome sequences of 352 A.

Background: The addition of immune checkpoint inhibitors to perioperative chemotherapy in operable gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer has become one of the research hotspots, while reliable biomarkers for efficacy are lacking. We conducted a phase 1 trial to assess the safety and efficacy of LP002, an anti-PD-L1 antibody, plus chemotherapy as perioperative treatment in patients with gastric or GEJ cancer.

Methods: We enrolled patients with resectable and PD-L1 positive gastric or GEJ cancers.

Background: The Hippo pathway is an essential signaling cascade that regulates cell and organ growth. However, there is no consensus about (i) the expression levels of the Hippo signaling core components yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) in lung cancer, especially in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), or (ii) their association with the prognosis of patients with SCLC.

Methods: We screened relevant articles and identified eligible studies in the PubMed, EMBASE, COCHRANE, and WanFang databases.

The family Microthyriaceae is represented by relatively few mycelial cultures and DNA sequences; as a result, the taxonomy and classification of this group of organisms remain poorly understood. During the investigation of the diversity of aquatic hyphomycetes from southern China, several isolates were collected. These isolates were cultured and sequenced and a BLAST search of its LSU sequences against data in GenBank revealed that the closest related taxa are in the genus .

Soil fungistasis is a phenomenon in which the germination and growth of fungal propagules is widely inhibited in soils. Although fungistatic compounds are known to play important roles in the formation of soil fungistasis, how such compounds act on soil fungi is little studied. In this study, it was found that ammonia (NH) induced global protein misfolding marked by increased ubiquitination levels of proteins (ubiquitylome data and Western blot verification).

Background: We recently developed the Coronary Artery Tree description and Lesion EvaluaTion (CatLet) angiographic scoring system. Our preliminary study demonstrated that the CatLet score better predicted clinical outcomes than the SYNTAX score. The current study aimed at assessing whether 3 clinical variables (CVs) - age, serum creatinine, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) - improved the performance of the CatLet score in outcome predictions in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Background: Extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) is deemed as a fatal malignancy with a poor prognosis. Although immunotherapy has gradually played an important role in the treatment of ES-SCLC since 2018, ES-SCLC treatment data and patient outcome before 2018, when chemotherapy served as a fundamental therapeutic strategy, is still meaningful as a summary of the situation regarding previous medical treatment and is a baseline for comparative data. In addition, the prognostic factors of ES-SCLC have failed to reach a consensus until now.

Background: Previously, we developed a novel Coronary Artery Tree description and Lesion EvaluaTion (CatLet©) angiographic scoring system, which was capable of accounting for the variability in the coronary anatomy and assisting in the risk-stratification of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Our preliminary study revealed that the CatLet score better predicted clinical outcomes for AMI patients than the Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery score. However, the reproducibility of the CatLet score in both inter- and intra-observer remains to be evaluated.
