Research hotspots and trends in nursing for diabetic foot ulcers: A bibliometric analysis from 2013 to 2023.

Background: Nursing can effectively prevent and ameliorate diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). However, there is a lack of literature on the bibliometric analysis of DFU nursing. This study aimed to analyze the research hotspots and development trends in DFU nursing over the past 10 years to provide references for future related research.

Profiling of T cell repertoire in peripheral blood of patients from type 2 diabetes with complication.

Purpose: More than 90% of patients with diabetes worldwide are type 2 diabetes (T2D), which is caused by insulin resistance or impaired producing insulin by pancreatic β cells. T2D and its complications, mainly large cardiovascular (LCV) and kidney (Ne) complications, are the major cause of death in diabetes patients. Recently, the dysregulation of peripheral T cell immune homeostasis was found in most T2D patients.

Targeting DNA Damage and Repair Machinery via Delivering WEE1 Inhibitor and Platinum (IV) Prodrugs to Stimulate STING Pathway for Maximizing Chemo-Immunotherapy in Bladder Cancer.

Both cisplatin-based chemotherapy and immune checkpoint blockers (ICBs)-based immunotherapy are the first-line treatments for patients with advanced bladder cancer. Cancer cells can develop resistance to cisplatin through extensive DNA repair, while a low response rate to ICBs is mostly due to the presence of an immunosuppressive microenvironment and low PD-L1 expression. Herein, a glutathione (GSH)-responsive nanoparticle (NP2) loaded with cisplatin prodrug (Pt (IV)) and WEE1 inhibitor (MK1775) is designed.

JAK/STAT signaling in diabetic kidney disease.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most important microvascular complication of diabetes and the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) worldwide. The Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of the transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway, which is out of balance in the context of DKD, acts through a range of metabolism-related cytokines and hormones. JAK/STAT is the primary signaling node in the progression of DKD.

Polyphotosensitizer-Based Nanoparticles with Michael Addition Acceptors Inhibiting GST Activity and Cisplatin Deactivation for Enhanced Chemotherapy and Photodynamic Immunotherapy.

Glutathione S-transferase (GST), which is a key enzyme in the conjugation reaction of glutathione (GSH), is overexpressed in cancer cells, leading to cisplatin deactivation and ultimately drug resistance. In addition, many tumors are immune "cold tumors," limiting the application of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Herein, a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive polyphotosensitizer-based nanoparticle (NP2) with Michael addition acceptors inhibiting GST activity and cisplatin deactivation is designed.

Cuproptosis Induced by ROS Responsive Nanoparticles with Elesclomol and Copper Combined with αPD-L1 for Enhanced Cancer Immunotherapy.

Cuproptosis is a new cell death that depends on copper (Cu) ionophores to transport Cu into cancer cells, which induces cell death. However, existing Cu ionophores are small molecules with a short blood half-life making it hard to transport enough Cu into cancer cells. Herein, a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-sensitive polymer (PHPM) is designed, which is used to co-encapsulate elesclomol (ES) and Cu to form nanoparticles (NP@ESCu).

A New Surgical Technique of Combination Retroperitoneal with Transperitoneal Laparoscopic Nephroureterectomy in a Single Position and Comparative Outcomes.

Background: The traditional surgical treatment for upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is time-consuming owing to changing the surgical position and larger surgical trauma because of open surgery in handling the distal ureter. Therefore, we created a new surgical technique of combination retroperitoneal with transperitoneal (CRT) laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (LNU) in a single position and here report our early outcomes.

Methods: From January 2017 to December 2019, a total of 106 patients underwent LNU by a single surgeon at our department, of whom 50 patients underwent standard technique and 56 patients underwent CRT technique.

Efficient asymmetric total syntheses of cryptocarya triacetate, cryptocaryolone, and cryptocaryolone diacetate.

Concise and efficient asymmetric total syntheses of three substituted alpha-pyrone-type natural products have been accomplished via 7-9 steps from 5b in high overall yields, which involve linchpin coupling, ring-closing metathesis, and a tandem sequence of deacetylation and intramolecular oxa-Michael addition as the key steps.

Concise asymmetric total synthesis of obolactone.

The first efficient asymmetric synthesis of obolactone 1 has been accomplished in 11 steps and with a 15% overall yield in which Brown's enantioselective allylation reactions and ring-closing metathesis reaction are key steps.

Efficient synthesis of tribenzohexadehydro[12]annulene and its derivatives in the ionic liquid.

A simple and efficient synthesis of tribenzohexadehydro[12]annulene and related derivatives in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate is described. A Sonogashira coupling reaction is the key step. In this system, the amount of CuI normally used can be reduced so that homocoupling is minimized.
