Paclitaxel-induced cognitive decline was attenuated by necroptosis inhibition.

Anti-cancer agent paclitaxel induces cognitive impairment. Paclitaxel can induce limited neuron apoptosis and wide scope of neuroinflammation, but its precise mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we determined paclitaxel causes necroptosis, a programmed cell death, via activation of the RIPK1-RIPK3-MLKL signaling pathway in hippocampal neurons (HT22 cells).

Synthesis of Bis-Thioacid Derivatives of Diarylethene and Their Photochromic Properties.

Diarylethenes (DAEs) are an important class of photoswitchable compounds that typically undergo reversible photochemical conversions between the open and closed cyclized forms upon treatment with UV light or visible light. In this study, we introduced thioacid functional groups to several photochromic dithienylethene (DTE) derivatives and established a method that can be used to prepare these photoswitchable thioacids. Four thioacid-functionalized diarylethene derivatives were synthesized through the activation of carboxylic acids with -hydroxysuccinimide, followed by reactions with sodium hydrosulfide with yields over 90%.

synthesis of 1-phenethylisoquinoline in engineered .

Phenylethylisoquinoline alkaloids (PIAs) are medicinally important natural products derived from the 1-phenylethylisoquinoline precursor. Heterologous production of the PIAs remains challenging due to the incomplete elucidation of biosynthetic pathway and the lack of proper microbial cell factory designed for precursor enhancement. In this work, an artificial pathway composed of eight enzymes from different species was established for de novo 1-phenylethylisoquinoline biosynthesis in engineered .

Two Cases of Macroglobulinemia with Elevated Serum CA125: Case Reports and Literature Review.

Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is a relatively rare hematological malignancy characterized by serum monoclonal IgM gammopathy and bone marrow infiltration of lymphoma cells (small B lymphocytes, plasmacytoid lymphocytes, or plasma cells). Elevated CA125 is most seen in ovarian cancer or some benign diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease and endometriosis. No cases of WM combined with elevated CA125 have been reported so far.

The N-terminal polypeptide of a new shell matrix protein hicraqin accelerates the rate of calcium carbonate deposition.

Matrix proteins play important roles in shell formation by regulating the assembly of organic matrix and minerals. Here, we obtained a new matrix protein (hicraqin) from Hyriopsis cumingii. The amino acid sequence of hicraqin contains multiple aggregated (Gly)n (n > 2) residues, a feature unique to silk-like matrix proteins.

The Impact of Adherence Counselling Incorporating a Point of Care Urine Tenofovir Assay on Virologic Suppression among Individuals Failing Tenofovir-Lamivudine-Dolutegravir: A Pre - Post intervention Study.

Objectives: To examine if point-of-care urine tenofovir testing-informed counseling could be used to improve virologic suppression (VS) among participants with virologic failure (VF) after ≥1 prior round of enhanced adherence counseling (EAC).

Methods: Participants were enrolled from 42 clinics across Namibia. At each monthly medication pick-up, participants completed the point-of-care urine test and received EAC informed by this testing (EAC+).

Coal gangue-supported catalyst for the efficient conversion of waste plastics into hydrogen and carbon nanotubes.

From an economic and environmental perspective, pyrolysis-catalysis is a promising method for converting waste plastics into high-value products. Low-cost catalysts are crucial for the large-scale processing of waste plastics. This study prepared a nickel-based catalyst supported on solid waste coal gangue (CG) using a simple impregnation method and investigated the effect of catalyst composition on the catalytic pyrolysis of polyethylene to produce hydrogen and high-value carbon nanotubes (CNTs).

Interventions to improve patient health education competence among nursing personnel: a scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Patient health education has gradually become an indispensable and important part of nursing work. However, nursing personnel's performance in this domain remains below satisfactory levels. The absence of patient health education competence (PHEC) constitutes a significant impediment to the effective implementation of such education by nursing personnel.

Discovery of two novel foamy viruses in sea lions and dolphins provides insight into their evolutionary history.

The prevalence and evolution of foamy viruses (FVs) have become the focus of research because of the risk of new zoonotic diseases. FVs have been isolated from various mammals and exhibit long-term co-speciation with their hosts. They also appear to be mild and nonpathogenic to their hosts.

Uniformly aligned Ag NPs/graphene paper for enhanced SERS detection of pesticide residue.

The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique provides a quick and reliable method for detecting pesticide residues. In this study, flexible substrates, composed of orderly arranged silver nanospheres (Ag NPs) films on graphene paper, were fabricated through a simple, low-cost Ag NP self-assembly process at a liquid-liquid interface, followed by transfer of the films onto the graphene paper. The SERS performance of the fabricated substrates was evaluated using a portable Raman spectrometer, with rhodamine 6G (R6G) serving as the probe molecule.

MiR-146a-5p downregulated TRAF6/NF-κB p65 pathway to attenuate the injury of HT-22 cells induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation.

MicroRNA-146a-5p (miR-146a-5p) actively participates in the process of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (CI/R) injury. Dysregulation of the tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6)/nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) p65 axis is closely associated with inflammatory response. This study aimed to investigate the potential involvement of miR-146a-5p and TRAF6/NF-κB p65 in mediating CI/R progression in vitro.

GAS5 long non-coding RNA interacts with microRNA-205 to relieve fibroblast-like synoviocyte inflammation and ferroptosis in osteoarthritis.

This study aimed to explore the role of the growth arrest-specific five gene (GAS5) long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) during the development of osteoarthritis (OA). A total of 25 OA synovial tissues and nine healthy control tissues were collected, and their GAS5 expression was compared. To confirm GAS5 expression in vitro, interleukin (IL)-1β was used to mimic a cellular OA model based on isolated FLSs.

Comprehensive host cell proteins profiling in biopharmaceuticals by a sensitivity enhanced mass spectrometry strategy using TMT-labeling and signal boosting.

Background: Host Cell Proteins (HCPs) are impurities expressed in host cells during the biopharmaceutical production process, whichmay compromise product quality and potentially leading to immunogenic reactions or other adverse effects. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based strategy is more and more considered as a promising method for HCPs analysis, since it is capable of simultaneously quantifying thousands of proteins in a single test. However, considering the large excess biopharmaceutical product protein present in the system and the extremely low abundance of HCPs, sensitive MS methods are urgently needed in HCPs analysis.

Integrating adsorption and in-situ catalytic regeneration on N doped carbon aerogel for sustainable continuous-flow water treatment.

Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation renders a promising way for in-situ regeneration of carbon-based adsorbents towards sustainable water decontamination, but the effects of structure and composition of carbon adsorbent on its adsorption and catalytic regeneration performances remains unclear. Herein, the nitrogen-doped carbon aerogels (NCAs) were prepared to couple adsorption and PMS activation in a continuous fixed-bed reactor for effective bisphenol A (BPA) removal. The nitrogen species and carbon structure of NCAs were varied by changing carbonization temperature (700 °C, 800 °C, 900 °C and 1000 °C) to investigate their correlation with the adsorption and catalytic regeneration abilities of NCAs.

A novel protein encoded by circARHGAP12 attenuates DNA damage and apoptosis by regulating MDC1 in intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Excessive intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced epithelial cell apoptosis results in damage to the intestinal defense barrier. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are functional RNA transcripts, and their functions as microRNA (miRNA) sponges and binding proteins have been well characterized. Recent evidence has indicated that some circRNAs encode functional proteins.
