Introduction: This study evaluated the efficacy of radiomic analysis with optimal volumes of interest (VOIs) on computed tomography images to preoperatively differentiate invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA) from non-mucinous adenocarcinoma (non-IMA) in patients with incidental pulmonary nodules (IPNs).

Methods: This multicenter, large-scale retrospective study included 1383 patients with IPNs, 110 (8%) of whom were pathologically diagnosed with IMA postoperatively. Radiomic features were extracted from multi-scale VOI subgroups (VOI, VOI, VOI , and VOI ).

Efficient and facile biphasic pretreatment for corn stover fractionation with comprehensive utilization of cellulose, xylan and lignin.

Developing a mild and efficient pretreatment technique to fully utilize lignocellulosic biomass remains a challenge. In this work, a biphasic system with 2-phenoxyethanol (EPH) organic solvent and phosphotungstic acid (PTA) aqueous solution was employed to pretreat corn stover. The prominent synergistic effect between EPH and PTA was revealed to play a key role in the fractionation of corn stover.

MHAGuideNet: a 3D pre-trained guidance model for Alzheimer's Disease diagnosis using 2D multi-planar sMRI images.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease is a neurodegenerative condition leading to irreversible and progressive brain damage, with possible features such as structural atrophy. Effective precision diagnosis is crucial for slowing disease progression and reducing the incidence rate and morbidity. Traditional computer-aided diagnostic methods using structural MRI data often focus on capturing such features but face challenges, like overfitting with 3D image analysis and insufficient feature capture with 2D slices, potentially missing multi-planar information, and the complementary nature of features across different orientations.

YTHDF2 promotes ATP synthesis and immune evasion in B cell malignancies.

Long-term durable remission in patients with B cell malignancies following chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell immunotherapy remains unsatisfactory, often due to antigen escape. Malignant B cell transformation and oncogenic growth relies on efficient ATP synthesis, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we report that YTHDF2 facilitates energy supply and antigen escape in B cell malignancies, and its overexpression alone is sufficient to cause B cell transformation and tumorigenesis.

Nucleotide receptor P2X7/STAT6 pathway regulates macrophage M2 polarization and its application in CAR-T immunotherapy.

Background: A key factor underlying the failure of Chimeric Antigen Receptor-T Cell (CAR-T) therapy in ovarian cancer (OC) is the presence of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, which is intricately linked to M2 polarization among tumor-infiltrating macrophages. P2X7 receptor has been previously documented as expressed within these macrophages and its correlation with M2 polarization is evident. This investigation scrutinizes whether silencing of P2X7 receptor within macrophages could lead to augmented anti-tumor potency of CAR-T.

More frequent, longer, and hotter consecutive marine and terrestrial heatwaves in China's coastal regions.

Marine heatwave (MHW) can increase heat exchange between the land and the ocean, which may further develop into a consecutive marine and terrestrial heatwave (CMTHW). Despite their significance, the feedback mechanisms underlying these compound events remain inadequately understood. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the interactions between terrestrial and marine heatwaves across China's coastal regions, leveraging multiple temperature datasets.

Genomic insights into Paspalum vaginatum: Mitochondrial and chloroplast genome mapping, evolutionary insights, and organelle-nucleus communication.

Paspalum vaginatum, valued for its salt tolerance, is a vital species in the turfgrass and agricultural industries. Despite its significance, there are still gaps in its genetic composition, particularly in the mitochondrial (mtDNA) and chloroplast (cpDNA) genomes. Our study aimed to fill these knowledge gaps by investigating the evolutionary relationships within the paspalum family and examining the functions of organelle-encoded genes as well as the critical role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in organelle-nucleus communication.

Different contributions of crystalline and non-crystalline iron (hydr)oxides on the mobilization and thionation of diphenylarsinic acid in a flooded paddy soil.

Iron reduction impacts the mobilization and thionation of diphenylarsinic acid (DPAA) in soil, but the contribution of crystalline and non-crystalline iron remains unknown. A paddy soil deficient in non-crystalline iron (P-Fe), crystalline and non-crystalline iron (P-Fe) were incubated with sulfate-plus-lactate, and the results were compared with paddy soil (P) in our previous study. For treatments without ferrous sulfide (FeS) precipitation, the solution-to-solid ratio (R) of DPAA increased slightly and dramatically with iron reduction, respectively, for P-Fe and P, suggesting that the reduction of non-crystalline iron contributes more to DPAA mobilization than crystalline iron.

Purinergic signaling by TCRαβ double-negative T regulatory cells ameliorates liver ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is an important cause of liver injury following liver transplantation and major resections, and neutrophils are the key effector cells in HIRI. Double-negative T regulatory cells (DNT) are increasingly recognized as having critical regulatory functions in the immune system. Whether DNT expresses distinct immunoregulatory mechanisms to modulate neutrophils, as in HIRI, remains largely unknown.

CoSe QDs/SnO PCNFs with high catalytic conversion kinetics towards high-efficiency Li-S batteries.

The redox reactions occurring at positive electrode of the lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries involve several key electrocatalytic processes that significantly impact the overall performance of the electrochemical energy storage system. This study presents a heterogeneous catalytic composite material composed of CoSe quantum dots (QDs) integrated with SnO nanosheets, which enhances the overall ionic conductivity and accessibility of active sites within the cathode. This controlled migration effectively traps polysulfides within the cathode, reducing their dissolution into the electrolyte and mitigating the shuttle effect.
