Investigating organic carriers' utilization efficiency and bioactivity within organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers is critical to constructing sensitive immunosensors. Nevertheless, the sensitivity of immunosensors is interactively regulated by different classes of biomolecules such as antibodies and enzymes. In this work, we introduced a new alkaline phosphatase-antibody-CaHPO hybrid nanoflowers (AAHNFs) microreactor based colorimetric immunoprobe.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding advance directives (ADs) for older patients in China, focusing on the influences before the country's first AD act.
  • A multicenter cross-sectional survey involving 950 nurses revealed strong support for ADs but highlighted a gap between their knowledge (42.2%), attitudes (81.9%), and actual practices (4.3%).
  • The findings suggest the need for improved training and institutional support for nurses to enhance their ability to implement advance directives and provide better end-of-life care aligned with patient preferences.

BACKGROUND EXT1 is an endoplasmic reticulum-resident glycosyl transferase whose intracellular expression alters the biosynthesis and distribution of heparan sulfate. EXT1 is regarded as a classic tumor suppressor. MiR-665 can act as either an oncogene or tumor-suppressing gene in different tumors.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a highly common type of malignant and heterogeneous non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Tumor-associated macrophages, specially the M2-type, promote tumor progression and drug resistance. The clinical outcome of patients with high neuron-specific enolase (NSE) expression is worse than that with low NSE expression.

Thrombocytopenia is a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of thrombocytes and often induced by chemotherapy. Recombinant human interleukin-11 (rhIL-11) is a cytokine that can stimulate thrombopoiesis and is commonly used to treat thrombocytopenia. We observed the side effects of rhIL-11 in 24 leukemia patients with chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia.

Background: Although asparagine synthetase (AsnS) is associated with drug resistance in leukemia, its function in extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) remains unclear.

Methods: The present study investigated the relationship between baseline AsnS mRNA levels and response to asparaginase in ENKTL cell lines. It also determined whether upregulating or downregulating the AsnS mRNA level induces or reverses asparaginase-resistant phenotype.
