Isoflavones are abundant antioxidant components in soybeans. UV-B radiation can induce the biosynthesis of isoflavones in soybean suspension cells, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. The transcriptome analysis revealed that UV-B radiation influenced the biosynthesis and signal transduction of the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) during the biosynthesis of isoflavones in soybean suspension cells.

1,4-Dioxane is a persistent contaminant that is not effectively removed by conventional water treatment processes. In this study, bench-scale granular activated carbon (GAC)-based biologically active filtration (BAF) systems were developed to metabolically degrade 1,4-dioxane at environmentally relevant levels (<1000 μg L). BAF was established using predeveloped biologically activated carbon particles by mixing a 1,4-dioxane-degrading microbial community with granular activated carbon.

In this work, a novel near-infrared fluorescent probe of benzopyranonitrile toward β-Gal was developed with high selectivity and low detection limits. DCM-Mor-Gal could effectively distinguish hepatocellular cells (HepG2) from SGC7901, HeLa, A549, and human normal liver cells (HL-7702) under the mediation of the galactose group, and effectively aggregate in the lysosomes under the acidity-alkalinity attraction, showing a notable dual-targeting potential of hepatocytes and lysosomes. The zebrafish experiments confirmed the utility of DCM-Mor-Gal in detecting β-Gal in vivo, which is expected to be an effective tool for the clinical detection of related diseases.

Background: According to statistics, the incidence of proximal gastric cancer has gradually increased in recent years, posing a serious threat to human health. Tubular gastroesophageal anastomosis and double-channel anastomosis are two relatively mature anti-reflux procedures. A comparison of these two surgical procedures, tubular gastroesophageal anastomosis and double-channel anastomosis, has rarely been reported.

Compared to traditional preservatives, photodynamic inactivation (PDI) offers a promising bactericidal approach due to its nontoxic nature and low propensity for microbial resistance. In this paper, we initially investigate the principles and antibacterial mechanisms underlying PDI. We then review factors influencing PDI's germicidal efficacy in food preservation.

Three-dimensional confined self-assembly (3D-CSA) of block copolymers (BCPs) is a distinctive and robust strategy that can yield colloidal polymer particles boasting ordered internal structures and diverse morphologies. The unique advantage of neutral interface lies in its ability to create anisotropic particles with surface patterns. The resulting unique polymer particles exhibit deformability under swelling, coupled with excellent spreadability and optical properties.

  • The study evaluates the effectiveness of the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) for screening depression in older adults, specifically those with varying levels of cognitive impairment caused by dementia.
  • Using a large sample of nearly 25,000 adults, researchers compared depression scores across five groups defined by dementia stages to identify any biases in GDS-15 responses due to cognitive impairment.
  • Findings suggest the GDS-15 is reliable for assessing mild to moderate cognitive impairment, but its effectiveness diminishes with severe impairment, leading to biased depression scores.

The accurate evaluation of denitrification rate and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission in field-scale woodchip bioreactors for onsite wastewater treatment are problematic due to inevitably varied environmental conditions and underestimated GHG production with limited analysis of dissolved gas in field samples. To address these problems, batch incubation experiments were conducted with controlled conditions to precisely evaluate the denitrification kinetics and NO and CH emission of both gaseous and dissolved phases in fresh (6 months) and aged (5 years) woodchip bioreactors treating onsite wastewater at high (1-3 mg L) and no (0 mg L) dissolved oxygen (DO) levels. NO removal rate decreased from 37.

The MAPK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways are aberrantly activated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, but therapeutic efficacy of NSCLC using trametinib (MEK inhibitor) or BEZ-235 (dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor) alone is still unsatisfactory. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine whether the combination of trametinib with BEZ-235 exerted synergistic effects against NSCLC in both in vitro and in vivo models, and we preliminarily explored the effect of this combination therapy on glucose metabolism. Our results showed that trametinib combined with BEZ-235 could better inhibit cell proliferation and colony formation, induce G0/G1 phase arrest and apoptosis, and suppress cell invasion and migration compared with the single agent.

Article Synopsis
  • The study developed and validated a new patient-reported scale, the Five-Dimensional Comprehensive Assessment Scale (5DCAS), specifically for assessing physical function and health in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).
  • After a thorough process involving patient surveys and expert consensus, the scale was refined from an initial 135 items down to 25 items across five dimensions, demonstrating strong reliability and validity.
  • The 5DCAS shows significant relationships with existing measures of health and disease activity, though further validation in clinical settings is recommended for broader application.
