Background: Aptamers are screened via the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) and are widely used in molecular diagnostics and targeted therapies. The development of efficient and convenient SELEX technology has facilitated rapid access to high-performance aptamers, thereby advancing the aptamer industry. Graphene oxide (GO) serves as an immobilization matrix for libraries in GO-SELEX, making it suitable for screening aptamers against diverse targets.

Adsorptive recovery of valuable gold (Au) ions from wastes is vital but still challenged, especially regarding adsorption capacity and selectivity. A novel M - 3,5-DABA metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbent was prepared via anchoring 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid (3,5-DABA) molecule in the MOF-808 matrix. Benefiting from the positive charge property, dense amino groups (3.

Article Synopsis
  • The T790M mutation in the epidermal growth factor receptor is important for predicting if certain lung cancer treatments will work, but not all patients with this mutation respond well to those treatments.* -
  • A new method called "Mixture-of-experts" (MoE) combines different small models to spot patterns in T790M-mutated lung cancer patients, aiming to better predict how well they will respond to treatments.* -
  • Research showed that using this new method helped predict treatment responses with good accuracy, and patients at low risk of not responding to treatment had a longer time without disease progression.*

As the predominant phospholipids in mammalian cells, phosphatidylcholines (PCs) have been demonstrated to play a crucial role in a multitude of vital biological processes. Research has highlighted the significance of the diversity in PC isomers as instigators of both physiological and pathological responses, particularly those with variations in the position of double bonds within their fatty chains. Profiling these PC isomers is paramount to advancing our understanding of their biological functions.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Ganoderma lucidum, a traditional edible medicinal mushroom, has been widely reported to improve liver diseases as a dietary intervention for people. Ganoderma lucidum extracts, primarily total triterpenoids (GLTTs), are one of the bioactive ingredients that have excellent beneficial effects on hepatic fibrosis. Therefore, its prevention and reversal are particularly critical due to the increasing number of patients with chronic liver diseases worldwide.

Background: As a potential target receptor tyrosine kinase, mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) exhibits high aberrant expression across various tumors. This study aimed to evaluated the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) of BPI-9016M, a novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeting c-MET, in c-MET overexpression or MET exon 14 skipping mutation patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods/design: In this two-part multicenter phase Ib study, eligible patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring c-MET overexpression or MET exon 14 skipping mutation were enrolled into Part A (tested positive for c-MET overexpression [immunohistochemical staining score ≥ 2+]; 300 mg quaque die [QD], 450 mg QD and 600 mg QD cohorts) or Part B (tested positive for MET exon 14 skipping mutation; 400 mg bis in die [BID] cohort), respectively.

Roxadustat (FG-4592) can inhibit the hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) enzymes that are responsible for targeting and regulating HIF for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. It has been approved in China as an anti-anemia drug for treating the anemia in dialysis-dependent CKD (chronic kidney disease) patients, and is also under regulatory review in Japan. Some studies are also investigating the clinical pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of roxadustat in CKD patients.

Vorolanib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR). A sensitive and specific LC-MS/MS assay was developed and fully validated for simultaneous quantification of vorolanib and its main metabolite X297 in human plasma. The two analytes were extracted from K2-EDTA plasma samples by protein precipitation (PP) with acetonitrile, and chromatographically separated on a C18 reverse-phase column using a gradient elution.

Background: BPI-9016M is a novel small-molecule inhibitor that simultaneously targets both c-Met and AXL tyrosine kinases. This phase I study aimed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of BPI-9016M in Chinese patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: Over the dose range of 100 mg to 800 mg, eligible patients were administered with a single dose of 9016M tablet and received 7 days of pharmacokinetics evaluation, followed by continuous dose administration (QD dosing, 28 days).

Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is a novel porcine enteric coronavirus that causes diarrhea, vomiting and dehydration in piglets. This newly virus has spread rapidly and has caused serious economic losses for pig industry since the outbreak in USA in 2014. In this study, 430 faecal and intestinal samples (143 faecal samples and 287 intestinal samples) were collected from individual pigs with diarrhea and 211 serum samples were also collected from the sows with mild diarrhea in 17 regions in Henan province, China from April 2015 to March 2018.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been accepted as an alternative treatment for cancer, and its target specificity can be achieved by controlling the location at which light activates the photosensitizer. Photocyanine, a novel anticancer phthalocyanine-based photosensitizer, is a mixture of 4 cis-isomers of a series of synthetic products, and accordingly, it is essential to verify whether there are differences in pharmacokinetics among the four isomers for clinical application, which requires reliable analytical methods to measure the plasma concentrations of the four isomers. An efficient LC-MS/MS method coupled with differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) for the simultaneous quantification of the four photocyanine isomers in human plasma was developed and validated herein.

Abnormal lipid metabolism is a common feature in most solid tumors, and occurs in early stages of the tumor progression. As benign breast tumor is different from malignant tumor of breast cancer, it is particularly important to take benign breast tumor into consideration when investigating cancer biomarkers. In this study, by using a normal-phase/reversed-phase two-dimensional liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (NP/RP 2D LC-MS) method, we conducted comprehensive lipid profiling in human plasma obtained from six benign breast tumor patients and five breast cancer patients, as well as nine healthy controls.

A not-stop-flow online two-dimensional (2D) liquid chromatography (LC) method was developed for comprehensive lipid profiling by coupling normal- and reversed-phase LC with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (QToF-MS), which was then applied to separate and identify the lipid species in plasma, making its merits in quality and quantity of the detection of lipids. Total 540 endogenous lipid species from 17 classes were determined in human plasma, and the differences in lipid metabolism products in human plasma between atherosclerosis patients and control subjects were explored in detail. The limit of detections (LODs) of 19 validation standards could all reach ng/mL magnitude, and the RSDs of peak area and retention time ranged 0.
