Background: Some acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients due to large-vessel occlusion, who underwent endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), continue to experience unfavorable outcomes. Furthermore, the impact of internal carotid artery (ICA) tortuosity remains uncertain. This study aimed to determine the value of ICA tortuosity and clinical features in predicting 3-month unfavorable outcome and early neurological deterioration (END) after EVT in AIS patients through nomograms.

Whole-genome sequencing is pivotal for elucidating the complex relationships between genotype and phenotype. However, its widespread application is hindered by the high sequencing depth and large sample sizes required, especially for genomic selection (GS) reliant on precise phenotype prediction from high-density genotype data. To address this, DPImpute (Dual-Phase Impute) is developed, an two-step imputation pipeline enabling accurate whole-genome SNP genotyping under ultra-low coverage whole-genome sequencing (ulcWGS) depths, small testing sample sizes, and limited reference populations.

Introduction: Endoscopic antireflux therapy has shown promising potential in the treatment for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, there is currently no universally accepted standard for endoscopic surgery. Therefore, we introduced antireflux mucosal valvuloplasty (ARMV), an innovative endoscopic treatment for GERD.

In eukaryotic cells, autophagosomes are double-membrane vesicles that are highly mobile and traffic along cytoskeletal tracks. While core autophagy-related proteins (ATGs) and other regulators involved in autophagosome biogenesis in plants have been extensively studied, the specific components regulating plant autophagosome motility remain elusive. In this study, using TurboID-based proximity labeling, we identify the retromer subcomplex comprising sorting nexin 1 (SNX1), SNX2a, and SNX2b as interacting partners of ATG8.

DNA barcode detection method is widely applied for species identification, which is imperative to evaluate the effect of human economic activities on the biodiversity of ecosystem. However, the wide utilization of existing detection biosensors is limited by bulky and expensive instruments, such as Raman spectroscopy and electrochemical station. Herein, a liquid-solid triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG)-based DNA barcode detection biosensor is proposed, which consists of water flow, fluid channel, and PDMS film attached by specifically designed capture probe.

Background: In its tetrameric form, pyruvate kinase M2 isoform (PKM2) catalyzes the last step of glycolysis and plays a key role in the metabolic reprogramming via regulating the signaling of pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). But the role of PKM2 in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury remains unknown.

Methods: Mice model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and model of oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) injury in cultured neurons were established.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on the impact of lymph node ratio on the prognosis of patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma and aimed to create a nomogram model to improve treatment decisions.
  • Data from 943 patients were analyzed to determine how various factors, including lymph node ratio, affected survival rates, with specific thresholds indicating poorer outcomes.
  • The findings support using a lymph node ratio-based nomogram for personalized treatment strategies, suggesting that high-risk patients may benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy, while low-risk patients might avoid unnecessary treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study reveals that PKM2 plays a significant role in promoting microglial polarization and inflammation during this injury by interacting with specific histones and being regulated by the protein Hif-1α.
  • * Inhibiting the movement of PKM2 to the nucleus can reduce inflammation and improve neuronal survival after ischemia, suggesting that targeting PKM2 may be a promising therapy for ischemic stroke.

Background And Aims: The inflammatory nutritional status is widely associated with the long-term prognosis of non-fatal stroke. The objective of this study is to examine the correlation between the C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR), a new marker indicating both inflammatory and nutritional status, and the overall mortality rate among stroke patients.

Methods And Results: Data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database and corresponding public-use mortality data from the linked National Death Index (NDI).

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) represent a promising energy storage technology with great safety. Because of their high operating potential, superior structural stability, and prominent thermal stability, polyanion-type phosphates have garnered significant interest in superior prospective cathode materials for SIBs. Nevertheless, the disadvantages of poor intrinsic electronic conductivity, sluggish kinetics, and volume variation during sodiation/desodiation remain great challenges for satisfactory rate performance and cycle stability, which severely hinder their further practical applications.

Objectives: We explored the relationship between blood pressure variability (BPV) during craniotomy aneurysm clipping and short-term prognosis in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage to provide a new method to improve prognosis of these patients.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the differences between patient groups with favorable modified Rankin Scale (mRS ≤ 2) and unfavorable (mRS > 2) prognosis, and examined the association between intraoperative BPV and short-term prognosis.

The droplet electricity generator (DEG) is a solid-liquid triboelectric nanogenerator with transistor-inspired bulk effect, which is regarded as an effective strategy for raindrop energy harvesting. However, further enhancement of DEG output voltage is necessary to enable its widespread applications. Here, high-entropy ceramics are integrated into the design of DEG intermediate layer for the first time, achieving a high output voltage of 525 V.

Plants continuously remodel and degrade their organelles due to damage from their metabolic activities and environmental stressors, as well as an integral part of their cell differentiation programs. Whereas certain organelles use local hydrolytic enzymes for limited remodeling, most of the pathways that control the partial or complete dismantling of organelles rely on vacuolar degradation. Specifically, selective autophagic pathways play a crucial role in recognizing and sorting plant organelle cargo for vacuolar clearance, especially under cellular stress conditions induced by factors like heat, drought, and damaging light.

  • ENL, a histone acetylation reader, is crucial for regulating transcription at super-enhancers (SEs), which are powerful cis-regulatory elements in various cancers.
  • It binds to acetylated histones at SEs, promoting oncogene transcription like MYC, and its depletion significantly reduces this activity.
  • Additionally, ENL is important for the response of immediate early genes to growth factors and its overexpression is linked to colorectal cancer progression, indicating that targeting ENL could enhance the effectiveness of other cancer treatments.

In this study, all-inorganic perovskite quantum dots (QDs) for pure blue emission are explored for full-color displays. We prepared CsPbBr and CsNdCl QDs via hot injection methods and mixed in various ratios at room temperature for color blending. Nd-doped CsPb(Cl/Br) QDs showed a blueshift in emission, and the photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY, Φ) were lower in the 460-470 nm range due to surface halogen and Cs vacancies.
