Bone tissue relies on the intricate interplay between blood vessels and nerve fibers, both are essential for many physiological and pathological processes of the skeletal system. Blood vessels provide the necessary oxygen and nutrients to nerve and bone tissues, and remove metabolic waste. Concomitantly, nerve fibers precede blood vessels during growth, promote vascularization, and influence bone cells by secreting neurotransmitters to stimulate osteogenesis.

Change detection, as a popular research direction for dynamic monitoring of land cover change, usually uses hyperspectral remote-sensing images as data sources. Hyperspectral images have rich spatial-spectral information, but traditional change detection methods have limited ability to express the features of hyperspectral images, and it is difficult to identify the complex detailed features, semantic features, and spatial-temporal correlation features in two-phase hyperspectral images. Effectively using the abundant spatial and spectral information in hyperspectral images to complete change detection is a challenging task.

Purpose: To investigate the prognostic value of post-chemoradiotherapy 2-[F]FDG PET/CT in locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANPC) and develop an accurate prognostic model based on the 2-[F]FDG PET/CT results.

Methods: 900 LANPC patients who underwent pretreatment and post-chemoradiotherapy 2-[F]FDG PET/CT from May 2014 to August 2022 were included in the study. We divided the patients into two distinct cohorts for the purpose of our study: a training cohort comprising 506 individuals, included from May 2008 to April 2020, and a validation cohort consisting of 394 individuals, included from May 2020 to August 2022.

Sulfate and sulfonate compounds are extensively used as anionic surfactants in personal care products (PCPs), which might pose adverse potential to human health. However, available research mostly identified certain subsets of sulfated and sulfonated surfactants based on target analysis. In this study, we developed a comprehensive nontarget strategy for identification of sulfated and sulfonated surfactants in PCPs using UHPLCHRMS supplemented by an in-lab R script based on characteristic fragment ions and sulfur isotope patterns.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the prognostic value of a new scoring system called the intracranial metabolic score (IMS) in patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) who undergo end-of-therapy imaging using F-FDG PET/CT and PET/MR.
  • The IMS is based on the metabolism of normal brain structures and was shown to outperform the traditional Deauville score (DS) in predicting progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
  • Results from the study suggest that a higher IMS score is associated with worse patient outcomes, confirming the IMS as a valuable prognostic tool for assessing PCNSL treatment effectiveness.

Grafting lignin extracted from pulping black liquor onto hydrogel not only endows hydrogel with strong adsorption capacity, but also realizes the high value utilization of lignin, thereby alleviating the environmental pressure caused by the exhaust gas generated by direct combustion of black liquor. However, those lignin fragments have lost generous active functional groups as the high temperature polycondensation during industrial production, restricting the improvement of lignin-based hydrogel adsorption capacity. Herein, we propose a strategy combining amination and oxidation to prepare lignin derivatives with low molecular weight and high activity groups.

Oceans and rivers are predominant sinks, reservoirs, and carriers of plastic debris that are proposed to be long term sources of a variety of contaminants in the environments. This research unveiled kinetics of chemical releases from plastic debris in freshwater and marine environment via artificial river water (ARW) and seawater (ASW) in combination of nontarget screening. Chemical leaching from PVC cord particles in the ARW and ASW basically followed the first order kinetics, reaching pseudo-equilibrium in 30d and 14d, respectively, associated with both particle surface - water partitioning and inner-particle diffusion of chemicals.

The extra domain B splice variant of fibronectin (EDB-FN), which is overexpressed in several cancers, is an approved diagnostic and therapeutic target of cancers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the EDB-FN-targeting peptide EDBp as a noninvasive imaging modality for molecular imaging of breast cancer in mice. Western blot, flow cytometry and immunofluorescence were used to assess the expression level of EDB-FN and its binding to EDRp in MCF7, SKBR3, 4T1, EMT6, MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-453 cells.

The objective of this research was to examine the effectiveness of chitosan (CH)-gallic acid (GA) conjugate (CH-g-GA) as an edible coating in improving the physicochemical properties and oxidative stability of deep-fat fried pork meatballs. The meatballs were coated with either CH alone, a combination of CH and GA, or CH-g-GA before being fried at 180 °C for 5 min. The viscosity of the coating solutions influenced the amount of coating picked up by the meatballs, with higher viscosity coatings showing increased pickup.

Levofloxacin (LVX) is difficult to be naturally degraded by microorganisms in water, and its residues in water will pose significant risks to human health and ecological environment. In this study, BiOCl was used as the main body, BiOCl/GO/CoO composite photocatalyst was prepared by pyrolysis of zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) combined with in-situ precipitation method and used to degrade LVX. A sequence of characterizations shows that addition of CoO and graphene oxide (GO) increases the visible light response range, improves the separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes (e-h) of photocatalyst, and thus improves the degradation efficiency of LVX.

Electroreduction mediated by organo-mediators has emerged as a concise and effective strategy, holding significant potential in the site-specific introduction of deuterium. In this study, we present an environmentally friendly electroreduction approach for -Markovnikov selective deuteroarylation of alkenes and aryl iodides with DO as the deuterium source. The key to the protocol lies in the employment of a catalytic amount of 2,2'-bipyiridine as an efficient organo-mediator, which facilitates the generation of aryl radicals by assisting in the cleavage of the C-X (X = I or Br) bonds in aryl halides.
