Immunotherapeutic effects of de novo benzimidazole derivative and prebiotic bacterial levan against triple-negative breast tumors by harnessing the immune landscape to intercept the oncogenic transcriptome.

The current study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of a novel benzimidazole derivative (BMPE) and a prebiotic bacterial levan (LevAE) against triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in a 4T1-cell syngeneic mouse model and to elucidate the immunological and molecular mechanisms underlying the phenotypic changes observed in treated tumors. The metastatic TNBC model was successfully established by subcutaneous inoculation of 100 μl of 4T1 cell suspension (~6000 cells) in the mammary glands of adult female BALB/c mice after brief immunosuppression one day before cell implantation. The therapeutic efficacy of BMPE and LevAE was biochemically, immunologically, and immunohistochemically evaluated.

Establishing Core elements for a Prehospital Emergency Care Systems Evaluation Tool (PECSET) for systems in early stages of development: A Delphi consensus.

Objectives: International Prehospital Emergency Care (PEC) standards have been primarily developed by and for high resource settings. Most PEC systems in Asia, which are still in the early stages of development, struggle to achieve these standards. There is a need for an evaluation tool which can define achievable basic building blocks for PEC systems in low resource settings to improve quality of PEC.

Renal PEComa in a young male: A case report and insights from the literature.

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms, commonly found in the uterus and retroperitoneum. Renal PEComas are exceedingly rare, often posing diagnostic challenges due to their resemblance to renal cell carcinoma (RCC) on imaging. We present the case of an 18-year-old male who presented with non-specific symptoms of fever, chills, and shivering.

Enzyme-free detection of creatinine as a kidney dysfunction biomarker using TiO flow-through membranes.

TiO nanotube flow-through membranes (TNTsM) were fabricated anodization of Ti foil and explored as a biosensing platform for creatinine detection. The electrodes were prepared in different configurations including TNT membrane with top surface up (TNTsMTU/TNPs/FTO), TNT membrane with bottom surface up (TNTsMBU/TNPs/FTO), TNT membrane with top surface up containing nanograss (TNTsMNG/TNPs/FTO), and TNTs/NPs/FTO and TiO nanoparticles (TNPs) film on fluorine doped tin oxide (TNPs/FTO). Electrochemical studies depict the higher electrochemical activity (sensitivity ∼19.
