Co-Amorphization, Dissolution, and Stability of Quench-Cooled Drug-Drug Coamorphous Supersaturating Delivery Systems with RT-Unstable Amorphous Components.

: Supersaturating drug delivery systems (SDDSs) have gained significant attention as a promising strategy to enhance the solubility and bioabsorption of Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) II drugs. To overcome challenges associated with polymer-based amorphous SDDS (aSDDS), coamorphous (CAM) systems have emerged as a viable alternative. Among them, "drug-drug" CAM (ddCAM) systems show considerable potential for combination drug therapy.

The Residual Activity of Fatty Acyl-CoA Reductase Underlies Thermo-Sensitive Genic Male Sterility in Rice.

Photoperiod/thermo-sensitive genic male sterility (P/TGMS) is critical for rice two-line hybrid system. Previous studies showed that slow development of pollen is a general mechanism for sterility-to-fertility conversion of TGMS in Arabidopsis. However, whether this mechanism still exists in rice is unknown.

Multibarrier-penetrating drug delivery systems for deep tumor therapy based on synergistic penetration strategy.

Nanotherapies, valued for their high efficacy and low toxicity, frequently serve as antitumor treatments, but do not readily penetrate deep into tumor tissues and cells. Here we developed an improved tumor-penetrating peptide (TPP)-based drug delivery system. Briefly, the established TPP iNGR was modified to generate a linear NGR peptide capable of transporting nanotherapeutic drugs into tumors through a CendR pathway-dependent, neuropilin-1 receptor-mediated process.

Temperature and light reverse the fertility of rice P/TGMS line ostms19 via reactive oxygen species homeostasis.

P/TGMS (Photo/thermo-sensitive genic male sterile) lines are crucial resources for two-line hybrid rice breeding. Previous studies revealed that slow development is a general mechanism for sterility-fertility conversion of P/TGMS in Arabidopsis. However, the difference in P/TGMS genes between rice and Arabidopsis suggests the presence of a distinct P/TGMS mechanism in rice.

CIP2A induces PKM2 tetramer formation and oxidative phosphorylation in non-small cell lung cancer.

Tumor cells are usually considered defective in mitochondrial respiration, but human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumor tissues are shown to have enhanced glucose oxidation relative to adjacent benign lung. Here, we reported that oncoprotein cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) inhibited glycolysis and promoted oxidative metabolism in NSCLC cells. CIP2A bound to pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) and induced the formation of PKM2 tetramer, with serine 287 as a novel phosphorylation site essential for PKM2 dimer-tetramer switching.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of harmine derivatives as topoisomerase I inhibitors for cancer treatment.

A series of β-carboline derivatives were designed and synthesized by introducing the chalcone moiety into the harmine. The synthesized derivatives were evaluated their anti-proliferative activities against six human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, HepG2, HT29, A549, and PC-3) and one normal cell line (L02). Among them, compound G11 exhibited the potent anti-proliferative activity against MCF-7 cell line, with an IC value of 0.

Analysis of the epidemiological burden of acne vulgaris in China based on the data of global burden of disease 2019.

Acne vulgaris is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease, which has brought an increasing disease burden to patients and society. But there is no systematic study on the disease burden and social development of acne vulgaris in China. This study aimed to analyze the epidemiological burden and trend of acne vulgaris in China from 1990 to 2019 based on the data in the global burden of disease 2019 (GBD 2019).

Ethylene Activates the -/EIL1 Signaling Pathway in Tapetum and Disturbs Anther Development in .

Ethylene was previously reported to repress stamen development in both cucumber and . Here, we performed a detailed analysis of the effect of ethylene on anther development. After ethylene treatment, stamens but not pistils display obvious developmental defects which lead to sterility.

Mutation of glucose-methanol-choline oxidoreductase leads to thermosensitive genic male sterility in rice and Arabidopsis.

Thermosensitive genic male sterility (TGMS) lines serve as the major genetic resource for two-line hybrid breeding in rice. However, their unstable sterility under occasional low temperatures in summer highly limits their application. In this study, we identified a novel rice TGMS line, ostms18, of cultivar ZH11 (Oryza sativa ssp.

CXCR4 and TYROBP mediate the development of atrial fibrillation via inflammation.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a rapid supraventricular arrhythmia. However, the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation remains controversial. We obtained transcriptome expression profiles GSE41177, GSE115574 and GSE79768 from GEO database.

OsMS188 Is a Key Regulator of Tapetum Development and Sporopollenin Synthesis in Rice.

Background: During anther development, the tapetum provides essential nutrients and materials for pollen development. In rice, multiple transcription factors and enzymes essential for tapetum development and pollen wall formation have been cloned from male-sterile lines.

Results: In this study, we obtained several lines in which the MYB transcription factor OsMS188 was knocked out through the CRISPR-Cas9 approach.

Autophagy inhibition enhances the inhibitory effects of ursolic acid on lung cancer cells.

The aim of the present study was to identify natural compounds that bear significant anti‑tumor activity. Thus, the effects of 63 small molecules that were isolated from traditional Chinese medicinal herbs on A549 human non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and MCF‑7 breast cancer cells were examined. It was found that ursolic acid (UA), a natural pentacyclic triterpenoid, exerted significant inhibitory effect on these cells.

Repression of miR-142-3p alleviates psoriasis-like inflammation by repressing proliferation and promoting apoptosis of keratinocytes via targeting Sema3A.

Psoriasis is a multifactorial, recurring, and chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by hyperproliferation of keratinocytes. Evidence is rapidly accumulating for the role of microRNAs in psoriasis. The object of the study was to explore the functions and precise mechanism of miR-142-3p in human keratinocyte HaCaT cells in the presence of M5.

Identification of Co-expressed Genes Between Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of ischemic stroke and systemic arterial embolism. However, the risk factors or predictors of stroke in AF patients have not been clarified. Therefore, it is necessary to find effective diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

Adsorption and desorption characteristics of ginsenosides from Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer on middle-pressure chromatogram isolated gels.

Four types of middle-pressure chromatogram isolated gels are evaluated for adsorption or desorption characteristics of ginsenosides from Panax ginseng. Among them, SP207SS and SP2MGS were selected for dynamic investigations based on their static adsorption or desorption capacity of total ginsenoside. Their adsorption kinetics was better explained by pseudosecond-order model and isotherms were preferably fitted to Langmuir model.

The Role of Endolymphatic Hydrops in Patients with Pantonal Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss: A Cause or Secondary Reaction.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of endolymphatic hydrops (EH) in both affected and unaffected ears of patients with pantonal unilateral idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) using three-dimensional fluid-attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging (3D-FLAIR MRI) and further evaluate the significance of EH in this disorder. Twenty-seven ISSHL patients were enrolled in this study. 3D-FLAIR MRI was performed 24 h after intratympanic injection of gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd-DPTA).

Acyl-CoA synthetases from Physcomitrella, rice and Arabidopsis: different substrate preferences but common regulation by MS188 in sporopollenin synthesis.

ACOS5, OsACOS12 and PpACOS6 are all capable of fatty acyl-CoA synthetase activity but exhibit different substrate preferences. The transcriptional regulation of ACOS for sporopollenin synthesis appears to have been conserved in Physcomitrella, rice and Arabidopsis during evolution. Sporopollenin is the major constituent of spore and pollen exines.

OsPKS1 is required for sexine layer formation, which shows functional conservation between rice and Arabidopsis.

The sporopollenin precursors, as a general constituent of sexine, are synthesized in the tapetum and deposited on the pollen surface after transportation and processing. The polyketide synthase condenses the acyl-CoA into a hydroxyalkyl α-pyrone, which is predicted to be a component of the sporopollenin precursors. In this study, we found that the rice POLYKETIDE SYNTHASE 1 (OsPKS1) was the orthologue of Arabidopsis POLYKETIDE SYNTHASE A/LESS ADHESIVE POLLEN 6 (PKSA/LAP6) through sequence alignment.
