Treatment with mannose oligosaccharides reverses the intestinal injury in the acetylsalicylic acid-treated rat model.

Mannose oligosaccharide (MOS) has been shown to promote animal growth, maintain intestinal health, and activate the intestinal immune system. However, the question of whether MOS can stimulate the immune system and alleviate acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)-induced gut damage remains unresolved. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of MOS pretreatment on the immunological and anti-inflammatory capabilities of rats with ASA-induced intestinal injury.

Computation-Aided Development of Next-Generation Extractants for Trivalent Actinide and Lanthanide Separation.

The chemical similarities between trivalent actinides [An(III)] and lanthanides [Ln(III)] present a significant challenge in differentiating and separating them, which is a key step toward closing the nuclear fuel cycle. However, the existing separation approaches commonly suffer from demerits such as inadequate separation factors, limited stripping efficiency, and undesired coextraction. In this study, a novel unsymmetrical phenanthroline-derived amide-triazine (Et-Tol-CyMe-ATPhen) extractant was first designed and then screened with theoretical computation.

HealthPass: a contactless check-in and adaptive access control system for lowering cluster infection risk in public health crisis.

Introduction: Ensuring effective measures against the spread of the virus is paramount for educational institutions and workplaces as they resume operations amidst the ongoing public health crisis. A touchless and privacy-conscious check-in procedure for visitor assessment is critical to safeguarding venues against potential virus transmission.

Methods: In our study, we developed an interaction-free entry system featuring anonymous visitors who voluntarily provide data.

Chronic myelogenous leukemia coexpressing V-e16a2, V-e13a2, e13a2, and e14a2 fusion transcripts: a case report and review of the literature.

The coexistence of three or more transcripts in one patient with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is rarely reported. Thus, the disease progression and drug response are still unknown. This case report aimed to explore the drug response of CML with variant transcripts and to enrich the clinical treatment of rare types of CML.

S100A8 promotes tumor progression by inducing phenotypic polarization of microglia through the TLR4/IL-10 signaling pathway in glioma.

Background: S100A8 is a member of the S100 protein family and plays a pivotal role in regulating inflammation and tumor progression. This study aimed to comprehensively assess the expression patterns and functional roles of S100A8 in glioma progression.

Methods: Glioma tissues were collected from 98 patients who underwent surgical treatment at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center.
