Quality control (QC) in mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is mainly based on data-dependent acquisition (DDA) analysis of standard samples. Here, we collect 2754 files acquired by data independent acquisition (DIA) and paired 2638 DDA files from mouse liver digests using 21 mass spectrometers across nine laboratories over 31 months. Our data demonstrate that DIA-based LC-MS/MS-related consensus QC metrics exhibit higher sensitivity compared to DDA-based QC metrics in detecting changes in LC-MS status.

is a foodborne pathogen linked to severe infections in infants and often associated with contaminated powdered infant formula. The RecA protein, a key player in DNA repair and recombination, also influences bacterial resilience and virulence. This study investigated the impact of deletion on the pathogenicity and environmental stress tolerance of BAA-894.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs), primarily caused by uropathogenic (UPEC), have high morbidity and recurrence rates. Resistance to levofloxacin hydrochloride (LEV), a commonly used treatment for UTIs, is increasingly problematic, exacerbated by biofilm formation mediated by interactions between cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP or CDG) and YcgR. In this study, we identified three caffeoylquinic acid compounds from -chlorogenic acid (CGA), sibiricose A5 (Si-A5), and 3--caffeoylquinic acid methyl ester (CAM)-that target YcgR through molecular docking.

Background: In recent years, the systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) have been considered potential predictors of survival outcomes in various solid tumors, including gastric cancer. However, there is a notable lack of research focusing on their prognostic implications specifically in the early stage of gastric cancer. This study aims to investigate the prognostic indicators of early gastric cancer (EGC), including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), SII, PNI, and lymph node metastasis (LNM).

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed global research output on patient delay from 2000 to 2023, using bibliometric methods to assess publications, authors, and trends.
  • The total number of papers rose significantly from 20 in 2000 to 64 in 2023, with the USA leading in output and "BMC Public Health" as the top journal.
  • Despite the increase in publications, collaboration among countries and institutions remains limited, and the study highlights three key research hotspots and frontiers for future exploration.

Ligand-induced receptor and co-receptor heterodimerization is a common mechanism in receptor kinase (RK) signalling activation. SERINE-RICH ENDOGENOUS PEPTIDEs (SCOOPs) mediate the complex formation of Arabidopsis RK MIK2 and co-receptor BAK1, triggering immune responses. Through structural, biochemical and genetic analyses, we demonstrate that SCOOPs use their SxS motif and adjacent residues to bind MIK2 and the carboxy-terminal GGR residues to link MIK2 to BAK1.

  • The study aimed to assess the caring behavior of nurses in Sierra Leone and identify factors influencing it, addressing a gap in existing research.
  • Conducted from October to December 2022, the research involved 360 nurses across 12 hospitals and utilized various scales to measure caring behavior, resilience, job satisfaction, and anxiety.
  • The findings revealed a moderate level of caring behavior, positively linked to job satisfaction and resilience, while negatively associated with anxiety; it highlighted the need for improved working conditions to enhance nurses' caring behavior.

The integrity and clarity of information have long been regarded as the cornerstones of advertising strategy. However, recent game advertising has taken a different approach. Specifically, incomplete game videos, especially those showcasing losing gameplay, are more likely to stimulate players' interest compared to complete videos of winning gameplay.

The dynamics of soil arthropod communities in annual monoculture grasslands is still unclear, which restricts the understanding of the degradation mechanism of cultivated grasslands. We cultivated two annual gramineae species, and , separately in Hongyuan County, located on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, in April 2019. We investigated soil arthropods, plant communities and soil properties in the cultivated grasslands and natural grassland in the late September every year from 2019 to 2022.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic liver disease associated with metabolic dysfunction, ranging from hepatic steatosis with or without mild inflammation to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, which can rapidly progress to liver fibrosis and even liver cancer. In 2023, after several rounds of Delphi surveys, a new consensus recommended renaming NAFLD as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Ninety-nine percent of NAFLD patients meet the new MASLD criteria related to metabolic cardiovascular risk factors under the "multiple parallel hits" of lipotoxicity, insulin resistance (IR), a proinflammatory diet, and an intestinal microbiota disorder, and previous research on NAFLD remains valid.

Background: The study of cardiotoxicity of drugs has become an important part of clinical safety evaluation of drugs. It is commonly known that podophyllotoxin (PPT) and its many derivatives and congeners are broad-spectrum pharmacologically active substances. Clinical cardiotoxicity of PPT and its derivatives has been raised, basic research on the mechanism of cardiotoxicity remains insufficient.

Article Synopsis
  • * The SPI-2 effector SseK3 inhibits the normal pairing of SNARE proteins, which are essential for vesicle fusion, leading to the formation of harmful filaments in infected cells.
  • * Host cells respond by activating the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM32, which targets SseK3 for degradation, thereby reducing its impact and inhibiting bacterial replication.

  • - E3 ligases, specifically TRIM family members, are important in cancer development, but their clinical relevance is not well understood; this study focuses on colorectal cancer (CRC) and identifies 10 TRIM E3 ligases with altered expression levels.
  • - TRIM1 is linked to poor prognosis in CRC patients and correlates with higher cancer progression and immune cell infiltration; it promotes cancer cell growth and movement in lab experiments.
  • - Mechanistically, TRIM1 facilitates the activation of HIF1α, a key protein for tumor development, by attaching ubiquitin to it, enhancing its nuclear function and interaction with other proteins involved in cell transport.

Objectives: This study investigates the role of TNF-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3) and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein β (C/EBPβ) in alveolar macrophages (AMs) of patients with systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) and their influence on pulmonary fibrosis.

Methods: Transfection of HEK293T cells and AMs with plasmids carrying TNFAIP3 and C/EBPβ was performed, followed by co-culturing AMs with pulmonary fibroblasts. Immunoblotting analysis was then utilized to assess the expression of TNFAIP3, C/EBPβ, and collagen type 1 (Col1).

Background: Aspiration is a common complication of poststroke dysphagia (PSD) and is associated with poor prognosis and mortality. There is no uniform criterion for determining aspiration associated with dysphagia. The aim of this study was to identify early predictors of aspiration, leading to the development of a simple nomogram for identifying aspiration risk associated with dysphagia in hospitalized patients after stroke.
