Background: Wolffian adnexal tumor is a rare type of tumor that was first discovered and reported by Karim-inejad in 1973. Wolffian adnexal tumor lacks specific clinical manifestations and its histological morphology is similar to various other tumors, making it highly prone to misdiagnosis. To enhance our understanding of this disease, we hereby report a case of Wolffian adnexal tumor diagnosed and treated in our hospital.

A novel series of sugar-containing pyrimidine derivatives have been synthesized an effective and convenient two-step tandem synthesis in continuous-flow microreactors with excellent regioselectivity. Using continuous-flow microreactors to assemble two-step reactions into one unit can effectively avoid separating and purifying intermediates. Moreover, this method allows the optimization of reaction parameters for each unit individually.

Although the catalytic activity is heavily reliant on the electronic structure of the catalyst, understanding the impact of electron spin regulation on electrocatalytic performance is still rarely investigated. This work presents a novel approach involving the single-atom coordination of cobalt (Co) within metalloporphyrin-based three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (3D-COFs) to facilitate the catalytic conversion for sodium-iodine batteries. The spin state of Co is modulated by altering the oxidation state of the porphyrin-centered Co, achieving optimal catalysis for iodine reduction.

This research focused on utilizing banana peel as the primary material for producing mesoporous biomass charcoal through one-step potassium hydroxide activation. Subsequently, the biomass charcoal underwent high-temperature calcination with varying impregnation ratios of KOH : BC for different durations in tubular furnaces set at different temperatures. The resultant biomass charcoal was then subjected to hydrothermal treatment with FeCl·6HO to produce biochar/iron oxide composites.

Anatase TiO has evolved into one of the most attractive materials for gas sensing owing to its strong oxidation activity and excellent sensing properties. In this study, we prepared Pt and bamboo charcoal co-modified nano-TiO using a one-pot hydrothermal process and applied it to detect formaldehyde. The successful incorporation of the precious metal Pt and bamboo charcoal onto TiO was confirmed by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometer, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the Womed Leaf, a degradable polymer film, for treating moderate to severe intrauterine adhesions (IUA) in women undergoing hysteroscopic surgery.
  • The PREG-2 trial was a multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled trial, involving 160 women who were divided into two groups: one received the Womed Leaf after surgery while the other did not.
  • Results showed that the Womed Leaf significantly improved the reduction of IUAs compared to the control group, with a higher percentage of women showing no adhesions and no serious adverse events related to the device, confirming its safety and effectiveness.

  • Q fever, caused by the bacteria Coxiella burnetii, can mimic other diseases like pneumonia, making it hard to diagnose traditionally; metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) helps identify pathogens more effectively.
  • In a case study, a patient showed multiple symptoms including fever and cough, and mNGS successfully detected C. burnetii after initial tests failed.
  • Following treatment with doxycycline, the patient recovered completely, highlighting mNGS's potential in diagnosing difficult infections like Q fever pneumonia.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical performance of HBRT-H14, a real-time PCR-based assay that separates human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 and HPV18 from 12 other high-risk (HR) HPV types, in population according to Chinese guideline.

Methods: A total of 9829 eligible women aged 21-64 years from Henan, Shanxi, and Guangdong provinces were performed by HBRT-H14 testing and liquid-based cytology (LBC) screening at baseline and followed up for 3-year. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (absolute risk), and negative predictive value of LBC diagnosis and HPV testing were calculated for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+) Lesions.

Small molecule drugs containing morpholine-based moieties have become crucial candidates in the tumor targeted therapy strategies, but the specific molecular mechanisms of these drugs causing tumor cell death require further investigation. The morpholine derivative N-(4-morpholinomethylene)ethanesulfonamide (MESA) was used to stimulate prostate and ovarian cancer cells and we focused on the ferroptosis effects, including the target molecule and signal pathways mediated by MESA. The results showed that MESA could induce ferroptosis to cause the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis effects of tumor cells according to the identification of ferroptosis inhibitor fer-1 and other cell death inhibitors.

Changes in RNA editing are closely associated with diseases such as cancer, viral infections, and autoimmune disorders. Adenosine deaminase (ADAR1), which acts on RNA 1, plays a key role in adenosine to inosine editing and is a potential therapeutic target for these various diseases. The p150 subtype of ADAR1 is the only one that contains a Zα domain that binds to both Z-DNA and Z-RNA.
