Tröger's base-embedded macrocycles with chirality.

The birth and development of supramolecular chemistry have heralded a new era, where macrocycles have become an irreplaceable research tool. Therefore, the construction of novel macrocycles has become a hot spot. Tröger's base (TB), as a fragment with both rigidity and chirality, promises tremendous potential in the realm of supramolecular chemistry, and its unique properties continue to motivate researchers to explore its inclusion in macrocycles.

Increasing miR-1260b predicts the risk of gastric cancer in atrophic gastritis patients and regulates cell growth and metastasis of gastric cancer.

Background: Atrophic gastritis is of high risk of progressing to gastric cancer. Screening early gastric cancer and predicting the risk of atrophic gastritis developing into gastric cancer could improve the prognosis of gastric cancer.

Objective: This study evaluated the significance of miR-1260b in early gastric cancer and in the progression of atrophic gastritis to gastric cancer aiming to explore a reliable biomarker.

False-Positive Uptake of 123I-MIBG in the Basal Ganglion in a Pediatric Neuroblastoma Patient.

A 7-year-old boy with high-risk neuroblastoma underwent 123I-MIBG SPECT/CT to evaluate the therapy response. The scan revealed abnormal 123I-MIBG uptake in the left basal ganglion, indicating the possibility of brain metastasis. Subsequent contrast-enhanced brain MRI, however, did not show any abnormal signal intensity in the left basal ganglion.

The associations of cardiovascular health and all-cause mortality among individuals with depression.

The association between the recently updated cardiovascular health (CVH) assessment algorithm, the Life's Essential 8 (LE8), and all-cause mortality among adults with depression remains unknown. From the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2005-2018, a cohort of 2,935 individuals diagnosed with depression was identified. Their CVH was evaluated through the LE8 score system.

Deep Learning-Based Super-Resolution Reconstruction on Undersampled Brain Diffusion-Weighted MRI for Infarction Stroke: A Comparison to Conventional Iterative Reconstruction.

Background And Purpose: DWI is crucial for detecting infarction stroke. However, its spatial resolution is often limited, hindering accurate lesion visualization. Our aim was to evaluate the image quality and diagnostic confidence of deep learning (DL)-based super-resolution reconstruction for brain DWI of infarction stroke.
