Background: The purpose of the research was to examine the prevalence rates of screening for genetics and hearing simultaneously in neonates and provide scientific evidence for the beneficial application of newborn screening in the Southeast China population.
Methods: Between June 2015 and March 2023, 27,843 newborns were enrolled in the study. All participants were screened by otoacoustic emissions at 2 days of age.
Background: Chidamide (CHI) is a subtype-selective histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACI) developed in China and approved as a second-line treatment combined with the aromatase inhibitor for hormone receptor-positive (HR)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2) advanced breast cancer. However, drug resistance is commonly occurred after a long period of medication. This study aimed to investigate the characterization of induced resistance to CHI and explore the potential cross-resistance to chemotherapeutic agents.

TLC has been associated with excessive catecholamine secretion and shares the same cardiac presentation with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC). We present the case of a 58-year-old male who arrived at the hospital after a car accident, reporting symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath, and abdominal pain after a car accident.

Although many procedures for the diagnosis and prognosis assessment of lung cancer exist, they are often laborious, expensive, and invasive. This study aimed to develop an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS)-based analysis method for the plasma biomarkers of NSCLC with the potential to indicate the stages and progression of this malignancy conveniently and reliably.

Unfortunately, these Co@C- catalysts exhibit not only unsatisfied activity but also high CH selectivity. This limited its further application due to the lack of in-depth analysis of the reasons behind it.

The cover picture shows the molecular recognition of folded 1,ω-amino-acids guests within p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene host anions stabilized with alternating hydrated cations and water molecules.

In this study, p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene (C4 A) anions and hydrated alkali cations have been used for the in situ recognition of cationic 1,ω-diammonium-alkanes and 1,ω-amino-acids of variable lengths. NMR spectroscopy illustrates that these systems are stable in aqueous solution and the interaction process involves several binding states or stabilized conformations within the C4 A anion, depending of the nature of the guest.
