The patient is a 12-year-old male who has experienced recurrent perianal abscesses for over 10 years, along with recurrent oral ulcers and deformities in the joints of hands and feet. Gastrointestinal endoscopy and capsule endoscopy revealed multiple ulcers in the digestive tract. Combined with his histopathological examinations, the patient was diagnosed with Crohn's disease.

To address this issue, an innovative method using biomass-derived fluorescent carbon dots (D-CDs) synthesized via a hydrothermal process, with xylan serving as the carbon source was developed. D-CDs solution exhibited remarkable sensitivity and selectivity as a fluorescence sensor for Cu, boasting a low detection threshold of 0.

Human health is under growing threat from the increasing incidence of bacterial infections. Through their antimicrobial mechanisms, bacteria use appropriate strategies to overcome the antimicrobial effects of antibiotics. The enhanced effects of synergistic strategies on drug-resistant bacteria and biofilms have led to increasing interest in these approaches in recent years.

However, the underlying pathophysiological mechanism responsible for this condition remains uncertain. Our objective was to evaluate characteristics of colonic motor patterns and interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) to refractory constipation children, as well as intestinal microbiota compositions.

Therefore, accurate determination of PA is of great significance for human health and environmental protection. Herein, a novel indole-based fluorescent sensor (H1) with good water solubility and fluorescence stability was reported.

Removing biofilm without antibiotics remains an interdisciplinary challenge. To solve this problem, we presented a dual-power driven antibiofilm system Prussian blue composite microswimmers based on alginate-chitosan, which designed into an asymmetric structure to achieve self-driven in the fuel solution and magnetic field.

Herein, a self-propelled system Prussian blue micromotor (PB MMs) were constructed by gas-shearing technology for efficient degradation of biofilms by combining chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT). With the interpenetrating network crosslinked by alginate, chitosan (CS) and metal ions as the substrate, PB was generated and embedded in the micromotor at the same time of crosslinking.

To extend the service life of concrete structures, non-destructive testing methods are necessary to assess the corrosion status in order to conduct a timely repair. At the early stage of corrosion, rust grows from the reinforcing bar, subsequently generates cracks towards the surface of the concrete.

Inspired by the spatial localization of natural cells, multiple enzymes were confined within the multicompartmental microcapsules, which were created using a gas-shearing method coupled with surface-triggered in situ gelation strategy. Heterogeneous multicompartmental (two-, three-, four-, six-, or eight-faced) core particles, due to their capacity for positional assembly, were encapsuled in alginate hydrogel shells.

However, there is an unmet need for biocompatible PB microparticles with recyclability fabricated by a facile method. Herein, a size-controlled PB alginate microparticles (PBAMs) generated by a one-step and large batch production gas-shearing strategy.

We performed a retrospective review of the 32 cases with suspected GSDs between April 2013 and November 2019 through panel-based NGS, clinical and biochemical data and long-term complications. Of the 32 clinical cases, we identified 41 different variants, including 24 missense (58.

Objective: To study the infected information, clinical symptom and molecular epidemiological characteristics of HuCV infection among children under 5 years old in Nanjing.
Methods: In Nanjing Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from July 2010 to June 2011, we collected 428 stool specimens from children with diarrhea and 428 asymptomatic controls. Human Calicivirus were tested by using RT-PCR.
Rapid and broad diagnostic methods are needed for the identification of viral agents of gastroenteritis. In this study, we used Luminex xMAP technology to develop a multiplexed assay for the simultaneous identification of major enteric viral pathogens, including rotavirus A (RVA), noroviruses (NoVs) (including genogroups GI and GII), sapoviruses (SaV), human astrovirus (HAstV), enteric adenoviruses (EAds), and human bocavirus 2 (HBoV2). The analytical sensitivity allowed detection of 10(3) (EAds, HBoV2, and RVA) and 10(4) (NoV GI and GII, SaV, and HAstV) copies per reaction mixture.
