Introduction: Artificial intelligence is already widely utilized in gastroenterology. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the research hotspots and development trends within the field of AI in gastroenterology by employing bibliometric techniques to scrutinize geographical distribution, authorship, affiliated institutions, keyword usage, references, and other pertinent data contained within relevant publications.
Methods: This investigation compiled all pertinent publications related to artificial intelligence in the context of gastrointestinal polyps and digestive endoscopy from 2003 to 2023 within the Web of Science Core Collection database.
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection platforms with high signal-to-noise ratio in the "biological-silent" region (1800-2800 cm) are presently being developed for sensing and imaging applications, overcoming the limitations of traditional SERS studies in the "fingerprint" region. Herein, a series of cyano-programmable Raman reporters (RRs) operating in the "biological-silent" region were designed based on 4-mercaptobenzonitrile derivatives and then embedded in core-shell Au@Ag nanostars using a "bottom-up" strategy to provide SERS enhancement and encapsulation protection. The approach enabled the "one-pot" readout interference-free detection of multiple bioamines (histamine, tyramine, and β-phenethylamine) based on aptamer-driven magnetic-induced technology.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of SSa, one of the major triterpenoid saponins extracted from , on neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation and the mechanism associated with this process. Using Sytox green and immunofluorescence assays, we found SSa rapidly induced NET formation, which depended on NADPH oxidase (NOX)-independent ROS production and autophagy. Pharmacologic inhibitor studies indicated that ERK and PI3K/AKT signalling were also required for SSa-induced NET formation, whereas protein arginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) was not required.

The COVID-19 epidemic has spread to the whole world for three years and has had a serious impact on human life, health and economic activities. China's epidemic prevention and control has gone through the following stages: emergency unconventional stage, emergency normalization stage, and the transitional stage from the emergency normalization to the "Category B infectious disease treated as Category B" normalization, and achieved a major and decisive victory. The designated hospitals for prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic in Tianjin has successfully completed its tasks in all stages of epidemic prevention and control, and has accumulated valuable experience.

However, increasing data show that innate immune responses are also affected by the immune checkpoint molecule. It has been demonstrated that regulation of PD-L1 signaling in macrophages may be a potential therapeutic method for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Induction of cancer cell death is an established treatment strategy, but chemotherapy drug-mediated apoptosis can be evaded by many tumors. Pyroptosis is a type of inflammatory programmed cell death (PCD) that is important for organism immunity. Tubeimoside-I (TBMS1) is a plant-derived component that exhibits antitumor activity.

Methods: A total of 297 Han Chinese subjects who were free from type 2 diabetes mellitus were selected from the Tianjin Medical University Chronic Disease Cohort for a prospective cohort study. Clinical characteristics were collected at baseline and subsequently tracked for a duration of 9 years.
Background: Acute lung injury (ALI) and its more severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are life threatening pulmonary diseases, and we are now lack of effective therapeutic methods. Inflammatory responses are essential for initiating ALI/ARDS. Thus, ameliorating inflammatory reaction might be beneficial for treatment of the disease.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAcute lung injury (ALI) is a life-threatening condition characterized by severe lung inflammation and tissue damage. In this study, we investigate the potential therapeutic efficacy of (+)-Syringaresinol (SYG), a natural compound known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, in alleviating ALI induced by IgG immune complexes (IgG-IC). Using MH-S cells as a model, we explore SYG's ability to target peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and its anti-inflammatory properties.

After 74 pancreatobiliary adenocarcinomas were removed by surgery, their glucose transporter-1 and four glycolytic enzymes were quantified using Western blotting. Based on the resulting data, the adenocarcinomas were equally divided into a group of low glycolysis (LG) and a group of high glycolysis (HG).

Breakthrough infection induces a hybrid immunological response with potentially broad, potent and durable protection against variants, therefore, convalescent plasma from breakthrough infection may provide a broadened repertoire for identifying elite nAbs. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and BCR sequencing (scBCR-seq) of B cells from BA.
