Pyrithione zinc alters mismatch repair to trigger tumor immunogenicity.

Mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) cancers are highly sensitive to immunotherapy, but only account for a small fraction of cancer patients. How to increase immunotherapy efficacy on MMR-proficient (pMMR) cancer is still a major challenge. This study demonstrates that pyrithione zinc (PYZ), an FDA-approved drug, can enhance tumor immunogenicity via altering MMR and activating STING signaling.

DACH-Based Chiral Sensing Platforms as Tunable Benzamide-Chiral Solvating Agents for NMR Enantioselective Discrimination.

Chiral discrimination is an indispensable tool that has pivotal importance in the assignment of absolute configuration and determination of enantiomeric excess in chiral compounds. A series of enantiomerically pure -1,2-diaminocyclohexane (-DACH)-derived benzamides were first synthesized by simple chemical steps, and 14 variated derivatives have been assessed as NMR chiral solvating agents (CSAs) for discrimination of the signals of mandelic acid (MA) in H NMR analysis. The highly efficient chiral recognition of CSA on different substrates, including MAs, carboxylic acids, amino acid derivatives, and phosphoric acids (32 examples), was expanded via H, F, and P NMR spectroscopy.

JBLC-141 alleviates hypobaric hypoxia-induced intestinal barrier damage by attenuating inflammatory responses and oxidative stress.

Hypobaric hypoxia exposure occurs at high altitudes, including plateaus, and affects normal intestinal function and microbiota composition. Exposure induces an intestinal inflammatory response and oxidative stress injury, ultimately disrupting intestinal homeostasis and causing barrier damage. Thus, due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and intestinal microbiota-regulating properties, is a potentially effective probiotic intervention to protect the intestinal barrier during low-pressure hypoxia on plateaus.

Health-promoting lifestyles and influencing factors among pregnant women with urinary incontinence: a multicentre cross-sectional study.

Objective: Lifestyle modification is an important part of non-surgical treatment for urinary incontinence (UI) and is strongly recommended. This study aims to explore the status and influencing factors of health-promoting lifestyle among pregnant women with UI.

Design: A multicentre cross-sectional study.

Preoperatively predicting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-low expression in breast cancer using neural network model based on multiparameter magnetic resonance imaging.

Background: Preoperative prediction of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-low expression using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can enhance the selection of clinical treatment strategies and enhance patient outcomes. Herein, we investigated the value of a neural network model constructed with multiparametric MRI in diagnosing HER2-low breast cancer.

Methods: This retrospective study involved two different centers.

Corrigendum: A bibliometric analysis of interstitial cells of Cajal research.

The addition of vermiculite reduced antibiotic resistance genes during composting: Novel insights based on reducing host bacteria abundance and inhibiting plasmid-mediated conjugative transfer.

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are prevalent in raw materials used for composting. The utilization of eco-friendly materials for the removal of ARGs is regarded as an economically effective method. Therefore, this study focused on the impact of incorporating different proportions of vermiculite (0% (CK), 5% (T1), and 10% (T2)) on the dynamics of ARGs during composting.

Establishment of a clinical model based on vessels encapsulating tumour clusters that could efficiently predict recurrence of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after curative hepatectomy.

According to previous studies, vessels encapsulating tumour clusters (VETC) could promote metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a manner independent from epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, the prognostic significance of VETC among patients undergoing curative hepatectomy has not been fully explored. This study was performed to assess the prognostic significance of VETC among patients with HCC undergoing curative hepatectomy.

Drip irrigation affects soil bacteria primarily through available nitrogen and soil fungi mainly via available nutrients.

The issue of water scarcity is a global concern. Water-saving irrigation has long been a topic of interest among agricultural researchers. In this study, changes in soil microbial community structure and diversity under different periods of drip irrigation were analyzed using the Illumina HiSeq high-throughput sequencing platform and 16S rRNA gene sequence amplification.

Nondestructive Testing of Polymer Aging Based on Room-Temperature Phosphorescence.

Polymeric room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials have attracted much attention due to their advantages of easy processing and excellent luminescent properties. However, it is still a challenge to obtain industrial production grade material through simple and green processing strategies. Herein, through the codoping strategy, different phosphors were embedded into nylon, a kind of polymer matrix, to obtain a series of highly efficient RTP materials without any organic solvents, for which the phosphorescence lifetime and brightness could reach 628.

Lifestyle Profile Scale for Gravida with Urinary Incontinence: scale development and psychometric testing in Chinese Mainland.

Objectives: A significant number of women may experience urinary incontinence (UI) during pregnancy. While lifestyle modifications are recommended as important measures for preventing and treating UI, little is known about the lifestyle status of gravida with UI. This study aimed to develop the Lifestyle Profile Scale for Gravida with Urinary Incontinence (LPG-UI) and to evaluate its psychometric properties.

The Isodon serra genome sheds light on tanshinone biosynthesis and reveals the recursive karyotype evolutionary histories within Lamiales.

Lamiales is one of the largest orders of angiosperms with a complex evolutionary history and plays a significant role in human life. However, the polyploidization and chromosome evolution histories within this group remain in mystery. Among Lamiales, Isodon serra (Maxim.

Factors influencing COVID-19 vaccination intentions and mediating effects among older adults in Southwest China.

This study examines the factors influencing COVID-19 vaccination intentions among Chinese residents over the age of 60, with a focus on the mediating roles of Health Beliefs and Cues to Vaccination Action in the relationship between vaccine knowledge and vaccination intentions. We conducted a cross-sectional online survey involving 1,305 participants from Southwest China. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified potential determinants of vaccination intention, including socioeconomic characteristics, knowledge, health beliefs, and cues to vaccination action.
