Temperature induces brain-intake shift of recombinant high-density lipoprotein after traumatic brain injury.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading public health concerns in the world. Therapeutic hypothermia is routinely used in severe TBI, and pathophysiological hyperthermia, frequently observed in TBI patients, has an unclear impact on drug transport in the injured brain due to a lack of study on its effects. We investigated the effect of post-traumatic therapeutic hypothermia at 33°C and pathophysiological hyperthermia at 39°C on brain transport and cell uptake of neuroprotectants after TBI.

Supramolecular encapsulation of eugenol with acyclic cucurbit[n]urils: Enhancing water solubility and in vitro antioxidant activity.

In recent years, consumer demand for healthy foods containing natural food additives has increased. Eugenol (EUG) is an essential oil popular as a natural antiseptic. However, its limited water solubility, high volatility, strong odor, and fragile stability hinder its application and storage in the field of food preservation.

Effect of high sensitivity C-reactive protein on uric acid-related cardiometabolic risk in patients with coronary artery disease-a large multicenter prospective study.

Although serum uric acid (SUA) is a risk factor for cardiometabolic outcome, but it remains unclear which patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) benefit the most from SUA lowering therapy (ULT). The association of SUA level, systemic inflammation and cardiometabolic risk is still unclear. The current study is aimed to examine whether SUA-associated cardiometabolic risk is modulated by systemic inflammation in CAD patients.

PhAN2 regulated Ph3GT silencing changes the flower color and anthocyanin content in petunias.

Anthocyanins are important secondary metabolites in plants. After the formation of anthocyanidins, Flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase (3GT) mediated glycosylation first occurs at the C-3 site, forming a stable anthocyanin 3-O-glucoside. Several studies have investigated the function of 3GT using biochemical methods.

Implications of baseline glycemic control by plasma glycated hemoglobin A1c on adverse outcomes in patients with coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Results from the PROMISE study.

Background: The optimal glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) target in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients remains controversial, especially in patients with concomitant coronary heart disease (CHD). This study aimed to investigate the correlation between baseline HbA1c and long-term prognosis in CHD patients with T2DM.

Methods: The study enrolled 6,839 CHD patients with T2DM and measured HbA1c at admission in a multicenter prospective observational cohort.

The role of FOXK2-FBXO32 in breast cancer tumorigenesis: Insights into ribosome-associated pathways.

Objective: To search for a new biomarker that can predict the efficacy and prognosis of tumor immunotherapy.

Method: FOXK2 genes were analyzed using single-cell sequencing in pan-cancer bulk RNA-seq from the TCGA database. We used algorithms to predict their immune infiltration.

Activating Sig-1R inhibits microvascular permeability by reducing LRRK2 expression in lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury.

Background: Endothelial cells are the first and most damaged target cells during acute lung injury (ALI). Endothelial dysfunction increases pulmonary microvascular permeability, subsequently leading to pulmonary oedema and organ dysfunction; however, clinical treatments against microvascular permeability show poor efficacy. Herein, we aimed to explore the role of the Sigma-1 receptor (Sig-1R) in pulmonary microvascular permeability by constructing ALI animal and cell models, and further investigated the specific mechanisms.

Peri-ictal yawning: A potential lateralizing sign in temporal lobe epilepsy.

Objective: The primary objective of this retrospective analysis was to evaluate the incidence and lateralization value of peri-ictal yawning (PY) in people with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). PY has only occasionally been reported as a manifestation of focal epilepsy. We aimed to determine whether PY could serve as an indicator to help lateralize seizure onset during epileptic seizures.

Prognostic value of the systemic immune-inflammation index in lung cancer patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors: A meta-analysis.

Purpose: To explore the association between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) score and prognosis in immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-treated patients with lung cancer.

Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and CNKI databases were searched up to August 1, 2024. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were the primary outcomes queried.

Rapid detection of mutations in the suspected piperaquine resistance gene E415G-exo in Plasmodium falciparum exonuclease via AS‒PCR and RAA with CRISPR/Cas12a.

Malaria remains a major public health concern. The rapid spread of resistance to antimalarial drugs is a major challenge for malaria eradication. Timely and accurate molecular monitoring based on practical detection methods is a critical step toward malaria control and elimination.

Toll-Like Receptor 4 (TLR4) Promotes DRG Regeneration and Repair after Sciatic Nerve Injury via the ERK-NF-kB Pathway.

Previously, we found that the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is altered after sciatic nerve injury, and its differential expression plays a key role in recovery. However, the mechanisms by which TLR4 affects neuronal function in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) have not been completely evaluated. The objective is to determine TLR4 expression in DRG tissues after sciatic neural injury and exploring the effects of TLR4 knockdown and overexpression in the DRG on neuronal function and nerve regeneration in rats in vivo and in vitro.

Site Disorder Drives Cyanide Dynamics and Fast Ion Transport in LiPSCN.

Halide argyrodite solid-state electrolytes of the general formula LiPS exhibit complex static and dynamic disorder that plays a crucial role in ion transport processes. Here, we unravel the rich interplay between site disorder and dynamics in the plastic crystal argyrodite LiPSCN and the impact on ion diffusion processes through a suite of experimental and computational methodologies, including temperature-dependent synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction, AC electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Li solid-state NMR, and machine learning-assisted molecular dynamics simulations. Sulfide and (pseudo)halide site disorder between the two anion sublattices unilaterally improves long-range lithium diffusion irrespective of the (pseudo)halide identity, which demonstrates the importance of site disorder in dictating bulk ionic conductivity in the argyrodite family.

Reliability of the risk of bias assessment in randomized controlled trials for nursing: A cross-sectional study.

Aim: To evaluate the percentage and reasons for disagreements in the risk of bias (RoB) assessments for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) included in more than one Cochrane review in the field of nursing.

Background: Disagreement in RoB assessments reduces the credibility of the evidence summarized by systematic reviews (SRs). There is no study that evaluates the reliability of RoB assessments in nursing studies.

FAT4 Mutation is Related to Tumor Mutation Burden and Favorable Prognosis in Gastric Cancer.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the frequently mutated genes in Gastric Cancer (GC), assess their association with Tumor Mutation Burden (TMB) and the patients' survival, and identify the potential biomarkers for tailored therapy.

Methods: Simple somatic mutation data of GC were collected from the TCGA and ICGC databases. The high-frequency mutated genes were identified from both datasets.
