Ruthenium dioxide (RuO) is one of the promising catalysts for the acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, designing RuO catalysts with good activity and stability remains a significant challenge. In this work, we propose the manganese (Mn)-doped RuO assembly as a catalyst for the OER with improved activity and stability.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a significant global health challenge with limited treatment options. Lenvatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has shown promise but is often undermined by the development of drug resistance.

Methods: Utilizing high-throughput sequencing, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying lenvatinib resistance in HCC cells, with a focus on metabolic pathways.

Purpose: Our study aims to develop and validate a novel molecular marker for the prognosis and diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) MATERIALS & METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed mRNA expression profile and clinicopathological data of HCC patients fetched from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) datasets. Univariate Cox regression analysis was performed to collect differentially expressed mRNA (DEmRNAs) from HCC and non-tumor tissues, and YEATS2, a prognostic marker, was identified by further analysis. ROC curve, survival analysis and multivariate Cox regression analysis as well as nomograms were used to evaluate the prognosis of this gene.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of extended immunotherapy in first-line immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) combination treatment for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from patients with advanced RCC who received first-line ICIs-TKIs combination treatment at West China Hospital of Sichuan University between October 2018 and July 2024. Patients who are assessed as having a disease control status after 2 years of continuous treatment will continue to receive immune checkpoint inhibitors until the inhibitors are discontinued due to disease progression or death.

Acute injury and secondary injury caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI) seriously threaten the health of patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of β-Asarone in TBI-induced neuroinflammation and injury. In this work, the effects of β-Asarone on nerve injury and neuronal apoptosis were investigated in mice with TBI by controlled cortical impingement.

Schwann cells (SCs) are necessary for peripheral nerve regeneration due to their plasticity and trophic supply after sciatic nerve injury (SNI). However, the multiple adaptations of SCs are still poorly understood. This study explored the effects of transient axonal glycoprotein type-1 (TAG-1) on cell migration and neuropilin1 (NRP1) expression in SCs and examined the impact of TAG-1 on nerve regeneration in rats with SNI.

Background: Glioblastoma (GB) is the stage IV of glioma and mesenchymal GB represents the most common and malignant subtype characterized with elevated expression of a mesenchymal marker YKL-40 and resistance to immune drug therapy. Here, we determined if YKL-40 regulates kynurenine (Kyn) pathway (KP) metabolism that contributes to establishing an immune suppressive microenvironment in GB.

Methods: Tumor cells expressing YKL-40 from GB patients were isolated and activated cellular metabolisms were identified via gene microarray analysis.

Radiosensitivity is critical for clinical outcomes and overall survival of prostate cancer patients treated with irradiation. Ribociclib and NU7026 have been reported as radiosensitizers in cancer cells, but which are inadequately understood in prostate cancer cells. The present study was performed to investigate the effects of ribociclib, NU7026, and their combination on the radiosensitivity of prostate cancer cells.

There has been an increase in the incidence and poor prognosis of colorectal cancer in recent years. In several studies, piperine has been shown to inhibit colon cancer cell growth and induce apoptosis. This study aimed to investigate whether a novel piperine-derived compound, HJ-23 (2,2-difluorobenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)(4-(2,4-difluorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl)methanone), can effectively inhibit the development of colorectal cancer through specific molecular mechanisms.

In clinical settings, glioma patients often develop secondary resistance to first-line chemotherapy drugs. Vincristine has been reported for its application in cancer chemotherapy, but its molecular mechanism of action remains unclear. This study aimed to identify potential targets of vincristine in glioma using network pharmacology and to experimentally validate the possible molecular mechanisms against glioma.

Lipid metabolism disorders are frequently noted in atopic dermatitis (AD) patients, prompting the long-term use of lipid-lowering drugs. However, the causal effects of circulating lipids and different lipid-lowering drugs on the risk of AD are not thoroughly understood. Using publicly available genome-wide association studies (GWAS) summary data from two different cohorts, a series of Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were conducted to explore the causal effects of genetically proxied circulating lipids and lipid-lowering drugs on the risk of AD.
