Analysis of pathogen distribution, drug sensitivity and inflammatory indicators related to pelvic infection after hysterectomy.

Objective: To analyse the distribution of pathogens, risk factors and inflammatory indicators related to pelvic infection after hysterectomy.

Methods: Patients who underwent hysterectomy at Women's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between January 2022 and January 2023 were recruited into this study. Vaginal secretions from patients with suspected postoperative pelvic infection were collected for pathogen cultivation, identification, and antimicrobial susceptibility analysis.

New Brusatol Derivatives as Anti-Settlement Agents Against Barnacles, Targeting HSP90: Design, Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Molecular Docking Investigations.

The increasing challenge of marine biofouling, mainly due to barnacle settlement, necessitates the development of effective antifoulants with minimal environmental toxicity. In this study, fifteen derivatives of brusatol were synthesized and characterized using C-NMR, H-NMR, and mass spectrometry. All the semi-synthesized compounds obtained using the Multi-Target-Directed Ligand (MTDL) strategy, when evaluated as anti-settlement agents against barnacles, showed promising activity.

[Annual therapeutic advances in advanced non-small cell lung cancer in 2024].

This paper reviews the clinical progress achieved in 2024 in the field of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), both nationally and internationally. In the area of targeted therapy, particularly for rare mutations, new targets beyond EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 mutations, such as KRAS G12C, HER2, and MET, have gained more clinical validation and approval for targeted drugs in 2024. KRAS G12C inhibitors have also shown significant improvements in disease control rates for patients.

A clinical analysis and literature review of eleven cases with primary pulmonary angiosarcoma.

Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the clinicopathological features, radiographic manifestations, treatment options, and prognosis of primary pulmonary angiosarcoma (PPAS).

Method: We summarized and analyzed the clinical data of 11 patients with primary pulmonary angiosarcoma treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University between January 2018 and January 2024. A retrospective analysis was conducted in conjunction with a review of the relevant literature.

Specific Monitoring the DNA Helicase Function via Anchor-Embedded DNA Probe.

DNA helicases play a pivotal role in maintaining genome integrity by unwinding the DNA double helix and are often considered promising targets for drug development. However, assessing specific DNA helicase activity in living cells remains challenging. Herein, the first anchor-embedded duplex (ATED) probe, 17GC, is constructed to uniquely monitor the unwinding activity of Werner syndrome helicase (WRN), a clinical anticancer target.
