Functional Aptamers In Vitro Evolution for Intranuclear Blockage of RNA-Protein Interaction.

Over the last 30 years, despite considerable research and endeavors aimed at harnessing aptamers as pharmaceutical molecules, the progress in developing aptamer-based drugs has been falling short of expectations. Sequential steps of affinity molecule acquisition and functional screening are typically required for discovering affinity-based macromolecule therapeutics, which can be time-consuming and limiting in candidate selection. Additionally, aptamers often necessitate tedious postselection modifications to overcome pharmacokinetic limitations, which usually impede the binding affinity.

The coexistence of papillary thyroid carcinoma, anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (squamous cell carcinoma subtype) and poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma: a case report.

Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) accounts for about 60% of adult thyroid carcinoma and generally has an excellent prognosis. Primary squamous cell carcinoma of thyroid (PSCCT) is a rare thyroid tumor with high malignancy and poor prognosis. In 2022, the 5 edition of World Health Organization (WHO) has classified it as a subtype of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC), abbreviated as ATC-squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) subtype.

[Influence of G-CSF mobilization on functions of donor T lymphocyte subpopulation and acute graft-versus-host disease].

To investigate the influence of G-CSF mobilization on functions of donor T lymphocyte subpopulation and acute graft-versus-host disease, peripheral blood samples of 20 healthy donors were collected before and after G-CSF mobilization. The whole blood was diluted with IMDM in ratio of 1:1 and then incubated with PMA + ionomycin + monensin at 37 degrees C, 5% CO2 for 4 hours. After being mobilized and stained, the IL-4, IFN-gamma and IL-2 positive cells were counted with three-color flow cytometry.
