Mechanically Triggered Protein Desulfurization.

The technology of native chemical ligation and postligation desulfurization has greatly expanded the scope of modern chemical protein synthesis. Here, we report that ultrasonic energy can trigger robust and clean protein desulfurization, and we developed an ultrasound-induced desulfurization (USID) strategy that is simple to use and generally applicable to peptides and proteins. The USID strategy involves a simple ultrasonic cleaning bath and an easy-to-use and easy-to-remove sonosensitizer, titanium dioxide.

Trends, global comparisons, and projections of early onset colorectal cancer burden in China based on GBD study 2021.

This study aimed to analyze the trends of early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) among individuals aged 15 to 49 in China from 1990 to 2021 and compare them with global patterns using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study. The analysis focused on age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR), prevalence rates (ASPR), mortality rates (ASMR), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Joinpoint regression was used to determine the average annual percentage change (AAPC), and the ARIMA model was employed to forecast trends from 2022 to 2050.

[Preliminary application of human-computer interaction CT imaging AI recognition and positioning technology in the treatment of type C1 distal radius fractures].

Objective: To explore the accuracy of human-computer interaction software in identifying and locating type C1 distal radius fractures.

Methods: Based on relevant inclusion and exclusion criteria, 14 cases of type C1 distal radius fractures between September 2023 and March 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, comprising 3 males and 11 females(aged from 27 to 82 years). The data were assigned randomized identifiers.

SRF and CBP jointly regulate integrin β6 overexpression in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas.

Overexpression of integrin β6 (ITGB6) is crucially linked to the invasion and metastasis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The molecular mechanisms driving ITGB6 upregulation in HNSCC are not well understood. Our study comprehensively analyzed the transcriptional regulation and epigenetic modification mechanisms affecting ITGB6 transcription.

Effect of oral potassium supplementation on urinary potassium excretion and its diagnostic value for primary aldosteronism.

Objectives: We aimed to: (1) explore the effect of oral potassium supplementation on urinary potassium excretion, and (2) evaluate the value of urinary potassium-related indicators in distinguishing primary aldosteronism (PA) from non-PA patients.

Design And Methods: A prospective study of 20 patients with hypertension and hypokalemia caused by renal potassium loss between November 2023 and April 2024 was conducted. Demographic features, 24-hour urine collection before and after potassium supplementation were all collected.
