It is an important task to construct intelligent packaging for meat freshness monitoring with good color stability and indication function. Herein, cobalt-based metal-organic framework nanomaterials (Co-MOF, ZIF-67) with antimicrobial and ammonia-sensitive properties were successfully synthesized and added into gelatin/agar (GA) matrix to develop highly stable intelligent films (GA/ZIF67). The incorporation of ZIF-67 nanoparticles enhanced the hydrophobicity (water contact angle >90°) and UV-blocking properties (close to 0.

[Progress in the study of the surgical management of Crohn disease based on the mesenteric concept].

In recent years, with the deepening of mesentery research, it is found that its blood vessels, nerves, lymphoid tissue, adipose tissue and other structures play an important role in the occurrence and development of Crohn disease, and the degree of lesion is related with the disease process, surgical difficulty, the occurrence of intraoperative complications and postoperative recurrence. The optimal surgical strategy of Crohn disease based on mesenteric involvement has received great attention. Multiple retrospective studies found that extended mesenteric resection and Kono-S anastomosis potentially could reduce the rate of postoperative recurrence.

USP25 stabilizes STAT6 to promote IL-4-induced macrophage M2 polarization and fibrosis.

As a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, fibrosis is the common pathway of various chronic inflammatory diseases in organs and causes death in a large number of patients. It can destroy the structure and function of organs and ultimately lead to organ failure, which is a major cause of disability and death in many diseases. However, the regulatory mechanism of organ fibrosis is not well clear and the lack of effective drugs and treatments, which seriously endangers human health and safety.

Paris yunnanensis, also named as Rhizoma Paridis in the Chinese Pharmacopeia, is a perennial Chinese medicinal herb commonly grown in Southwest China. However, several viruses have been found infecting this plant in recent years. Using high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and Sanger sequencing, this study obtained the complete genome sequences of three capillovirus isolates and one potyvirus isolate.

Glutamic-pyruvic transaminase 1 deficiency-mediated metabolic reprogramming facilitates colorectal adenoma-carcinoma progression.

The tumorigenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC) often follows the normal-adenoma-carcinoma (N-A-C) sequence. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying colorectal adenoma carcinogenesis remain largely unknown. Here, we analyzed transcriptomic profile changes in normal, advanced adenoma, and carcinoma tissues from patients with CRC, revealing that glutamic-pyruvic transaminase 1 () in colorectal tissues was down-regulated during the N-A-C process and correlated with poor CRC prognosis.

Spatiotemporal dynamics and spatial correlation patterns of urban ecological resilience across the Yellow River Basin in China.

Addressing the need to harmonize environment conservation and sustainable economic development within the Yellow River Basin (YRB) requires a profound comprehension of the spatiotemporal dynamics of urban ecosystem resilience. This study developed an index system utilizing the resistance-adaptability-recovery framework to measure these dynamics. By applying the advanced multi-attribute boundary area comparison method and a spatial autocorrelation model, we investigated the spatiotemporal variations and spatial correlation patterns of urban ecological resilience across the YRB.

Neoadjuvant Modified Infusional Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, and Oxaliplatin With or Without Radiation Versus Fluorouracil Plus Radiation for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer: Updated Results of the FOWARC Study After a Median Follow-Up of 10 Years.

We present 10-year results of the phase Ⅲ FOWARC trial, which evaluated the efficacy of modified infusional fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) with or without radiation compared with fluorouracil with radiation in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. A total of 495 patients age 18-75 years with stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ rectal cancer were randomly assigned to three treatment arms: fluorouracil plus radiotherapy, mFOLFOX6 plus radiotherapy, or mFOLFOX6 alone, followed by surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. With a median follow-up of 10 years, the 10-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 52.

Campylobacter jejuni-derived cytolethal distending toxin promotes colorectal cancer metastasis.

Various forms of solid tumors harbor intracellular bacteria, but the physiological consequences of these microorganisms are poorly understood. We show that Campylobacter is significantly enriched in primary colorectal cancer (CRC) lesions from patients with metastasis. Campylobacter jejuni-derived cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) promotes CRC metastasis through JAK2-STAT3-MMP9 signaling in liver or pulmonary metastatic mice models, as confirmed in C.

Ethylene modulates wheat response to phosphate deficiency.

Ethylene involves in the response to P deficiency in some model plants, but its relevance to wheat remains limited. Following our recent study demonstrating the role of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) encoding ethylene response factors (ERFs) in response to P starvation in wheat, this study aims to investigate the remodelling of ethylene pathway and the physiological roles of ethylene in wheat under P deficiency using transcriptome analysis and the addition of exogenous ethylene analogue ethephon or ethylene inhibitors. ERFs with at least a two-fold change upon P deficiency were biasedly enriched on chromosome 4 B.

Interleukin-10 deficiency suppresses colorectal cancer metastasis by enriching gut Parabacteroides distasonis.

Introduction: The intricate interplay of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and gut microbiota influences tumor development and progression, yet the impacts on colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis remain incompletely understood.

Methods: The impact of Il10 deficiency on CRC metastasis was first evaluated in CRC metastasis tumor samples and mouse model. Antibiotic sterilization and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) experiment were used to assess the role of gut microbiota in IL-10 mediated CRC metastasis, and full-length 16S rDNA sequencing analysis further identified the potential target bacteria influencing CRC metastasis.

Microbiota-induced alteration of kynurenine metabolism in macrophages drives formation of creeping fat in Crohn's disease.

Hyperplasia of mesenteric tissues in Crohn's disease, called creeping fat (CrF), is associated with surgical recurrence. Although microbiota translocation and colonization have been found in CrF, convincing mouse phenotypes and the underlying mechanisms of CrF formation remain unclear. Utilizing single-nucleus RNA (snRNA) sequencing of CrF and different mouse models, we demonstrate that the commensal Achromobacter pulmonis induces mesenteric adipogenesis through macrophage alteration.

Gut microbiota-mediated bile acid metabolism aggravates biliary injury after liver transplantation through mitochondrial apoptosis.

Ischemic-type biliary lesions (ITBL) are a major cause of graft loss and even mortality after liver transplantation (LT). The underlying cellular mechanisms for ITBL remain unclear. Gut microbiota has been found to be closely related to complications after LT.

Polyclonal-to-monoclonal transition in colorectal precancerous evolution.

Unravelling the origin and evolution of precancerous lesions is crucial for effectively preventing malignant transformation, yet our current knowledge remains limited. Here we used a base editor-enabled DNA barcoding system to comprehensively map single-cell phylogenies in mouse models of intestinal tumorigenesis induced by inflammation or loss of the Apc gene. Through quantitative analysis of high-resolution phylogenies including 260,922 single cells from normal, inflamed and neoplastic intestinal tissues, we identified tens of independent cell lineages undergoing parallel clonal expansions within each lesion.

Pulling Forces Differentially Affect Refolding Pathways Due to Entangled Misfolded States in SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Binding Domain.

Single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) experiments can monitor protein refolding by applying a small force of a few piconewtons (pN) and slowing down the folding process. Bell theory predicts that in the narrow force regime where refolding can occur, the folding time should increase exponentially with increased external force. In this work, using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, we compared the refolding pathways of SARS-CoV-1 RBD and SARS-CoV-2 RBD (RBD refers to the receptor binding domain) starting from unfolded conformations with and without a force applied to the protein termini.

[Interpretation of the key points of Regulation for Diagnosis and Treatment of Non-neonatal Tetanus (2024 Edition)].

Non-neonatal tetanus is an acute, specific, toxic disease in patients over 28 days of age, characterized by continuous rigidity and paroxysmal spasms of the skeletal muscles throughout the body caused by the intrusion of Clostridium tetani through skin or mucosal membrane into the body and reproducing in anaerobic environments to produce exotoxins. The mortality rate of severe patients is close to 100% without medical intervention. Even with aggressive comprehensive treatment, the global mortality rate remains at 30%-50%, making it a potentially fatal disease.
