Introduction: Tobacco smoking is a major risk factor for various diseases worldwide, including pancreatic exocrine diseases such as pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer (PC). Currently, few studies have examined the impact of smoking cessation on the likelihood of common pancreatic exocrine diseases. This study sought to determine whether smoking cessation would reduce pancreatitis and PC morbidity.

Purpose: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) combined with chemotherapy have become the first-line standard treatment for locally advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The evidence also demonstrates improved synergistic effects of chemotherapy when combined with delayed administration of ICIs. In this study, we conducted a retrospective investigation into the treatment efficacy of taxol plus platinum (TP) chemotherapy combined with delayed administration of PD-1 inhibitors for ESCC patients.

Article Synopsis
  • A Chinese herb has special flowers whose parts open and close in a cycle after pollen is ready.
  • Scientists studied how this opening and closing affects plant breeding, looking at how genes change when the flowers are exposed to cold temperatures.
  • They found important genes that help the plant react to temperature changes, using different tests to see how these genes behave in seeds created from pollen.

The PhiC31 integration system allows for targeted and efficient transgene integration and expression by recognizing pseudo attP sites in mammalian cells and integrating the exogenous genes into the open chromatin regions of active chromatin. In order to investigate the regulatory patterns of efficient gene expression in the open chromatin region of PhiC31 integration, this study utilized Ubiquitous Chromatin Opening Element (UCOE) and activating RNA (saRNA) to modulate the chromatin structure in the promoter region of the PhiC31 integration vector. The study analysed the effects of DNA methylation and nucleosome occupancy changes in the integrated promoter on gene expression levels.

Article Synopsis
  • * In experiments, NAR treatment improved intestinal health by preserving crypts and villi, decreasing immune cell infiltration, and preventing cell apoptosis, as well as diminishing damage in human intestinal cells.
  • * The protective mechanism involves downregulation of the TRPV6 receptor, which helps lower calcium ion levels and reactive oxygen species, suggesting that NAR could serve as a therapeutic option for managing RIII.

Introduction: Tumor immunotherapy has recently emerged as a crucial focal point in oncology treatment research. Among tumor immunotherapy approaches, tumor immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have attracted substantial attention in clinical research. However, this treatment modality has benefitted only a limited number of patients.

The total harmonic distortion (THD) index and its calculation methods are presented to calibrate the sinusoidal motion of the low-frequency angular acceleration rotary table (LFAART) and make up the incomprehensive evaluation based on the angular acceleration amplitude and frequency error indexes. The THD is calculated from two measurement schemes: a unique scheme combining the optical shaft encoder and the laser triangulation sensor and a regular scheme using the fiber optical gyroscope (FOG). An improved reversing moments recognition method is presented to upgrade the accuracy of solving the angular motion amplitude based on optical shaft encoder output.

Background: Chemotherapy combined with immune checkpoints inhibitors (ICIs) has been established as a standard treatment for locally advanced, metastatic, or recurrent esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC). However, the optimal chemotherapy regimen in combination therapy is still unclear.

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy and adverse events of the fluorouracil plus platinum (FP) and taxane plus platinum (TP) regimens in ESCC patients receiving chemo-immunotherapy, we conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis.

BiWO-based heterojunction photocatalyst for antibiotic degradation has been a research hotspot, but its photocatalytic performance needs to be further improved. Therefore, 2D/2D P-doped g-CN/BiWO direct Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts with different composition ratios were prepared through three strategies of phosphorus (P) element doping, morphology regulation, and heterojunction, and the efficiency of its degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) under visible light was studied. Their structural, optical, and electronic properties were evaluated, and their photocatalytic efficiency for TC-HCl degradation was explored with a detailed assessment of the active species, degradation pathways, and effects of humic acid, different anions and cations, and water sources.

Objective: Immunotherapies targeting immune checkpoints have achieved encouraging survival benefits in patients with various solid cancers. Corticosteroids are frequently administrated for cancer/non-cancer related indications and immune-related adverse events (irAEs). This study aimed to clarify the prognostic significance of corticosteroid administration in solid cancer patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment.

Radiation enteritis is the most common and serious complication of abdominal or pelvic radiation therapy. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as well as cell protection agents, inhibit apoptosis and promote the proliferation of injured tissues. 3 human umbilical cords MSCs (UCMSCs) were injected into the tail vein or peritoneal cavity of a rat model of radiation enteritis.

Purpose: Neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiation therapy (nCRT) plus surgery has been a standard treatment for locoregionally advanced esophageal cancer and carcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction (EC/GEJ), but the optimal preoperative radiation dose is still unclear. We performed this systematic review to explore the treatment efficacy and toxicity of different radiation dose levels and find an optimal dose-fractionation strategy in EC/GEJ patients receiving nCRT.

Methods And Materials: Embase and Ovid Medline were searched for articles involving cases of operable squamous and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and GEJ in which patients received nCRT up to a dose of 50.

A growing number of circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been identified and verified in several cancers. However, highly efficient therapeutic methods based on circRNAs in lung cancer remain largely unexplored. In the present study, we identified a novel circular RNA, hsa_circ_103820, based on Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) data.

An integrated OCO reactor was used to investigate the performance and microbial community successional changes under long-term exposure to relatively low levels of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs). Relatively higher concentrations of ZnO NPs (1.5 mg L) could adversely affect the nitrogen and phosphorus removal in the reactor.

Nuclear Warfare and nuclear leakage can result in a large number of patients with radiation-induced bone marrow damage. Based on the fact that hematopoietic stem cells and hematopoietic growth factors are characterized as a novel strategy for therapy, the aim of this study was to explore a safe and routine stem cell/cytokine therapeutic strategy. Allogeneic multiplacenta derived hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells/cytokines were intraperitoneally injected into a moderate dose of total body irradiation-induced mouse bone marrow damage model a single time.

An integrated OCO reactor with two side-ditch separators based on the anaerobic/anoxic/oxic (A2/O) process was developed for municipal wastewater treatment in this study. The effects of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration, hydraulic retention time (HRT) and the ratio of chemical oxygen demand (COD) to total nitrogen (C/N) in the influent were investigated for optimization, in order to achieve the removal of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and COD in the reactor simultaneously. When the DO concentration of 2.
