Post-marketing safety concerns with lecanemab: a pharmacovigilance study based on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database.

Background: The safety data of lecanemab in the post-marketing period has yet to be fully investigated in the current literature. We aimed to identify and characterise the safety profile of lecanemab in the post-marketing period.

Methods: We searched and reviewed the reports submitted to the FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).

SEE: A Method for Predicting the Dynamics of Chromatin Conformation Based on Single-Cell Gene Expression.

The dynamics of chromatin conformation involve continuous and reversible changes within the nucleus of a cell, which participate in regulating processes such as gene expression, DNA replication, and damage repair. Here, SEE is introduced, an artificial intelligence (AI) method that utilizes autoencoder and transformer techniques to analyze chromatin dynamics using single-cell RNA sequencing data and a limited number of single-cell Hi-C maps. SEE is employed to investigate chromatin dynamics across different scales, enabling the detection of (i) rearrangements in topologically associating domains (TADs), and (ii) oscillations in chromatin interactions at gene loci.

Bioinspired thermally conducting packaging for heat management of high performance electronic chips.

Conventional electronic chip packaging generates a huge thermal resistance due to the low thermal conductivity of the packaging materials that separate chip dies and coolant. Here we propose and fabricate a closed high-conducting heat chip package based on passive phase change, using silicon carbide which is physically and structurally compatible with chip die materials. Our "chip on vapor chamber" (CoVC) concept realizes rapid diffusion of hot spots, and eliminates the high energy consumption of refrigeration ordinarily required for heat management.

Noninvasive early identification of durable clinical benefit from immune checkpoint inhibition: a prospective multicenter study (NCT04566432).

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have changed the treatment landscape for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In spite of durable responses in some patients, many patients develop early disease progression during the ICI treatment. Thus, early identification of patients with no durable benefit would facilitate the clinical decision for these patients.

Multiple loci for foveolar vision in macaque monkey visual cortex.

In humans and nonhuman primates, the central 1° of vision is processed by the foveola, a retinal structure that comprises a high density of photoreceptors and is crucial for primate-specific high-acuity vision, color vision and gaze-directed visual attention. Here, we developed high-spatial-resolution ultrahigh-field 7T functional magnetic resonance imaging methods for functional mapping of the foveolar visual cortex in awake monkeys. In the ventral pathway (visual areas V1-V4 and the posterior inferior temporal cortex), viewing of a small foveolar spot elicits a ring of multiple (eight) foveolar representations per hemisphere.

Cardioprotective effect of injection against Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by network pharmacology analysis and experimental verification.

Doxorubicin (Dox) is widely utilized in the clinical treatment of various cancers. Despite its efficacy, Dox induces numerous adverse effects in humans with significant cardiotoxicity, posing a major limitation to its use. injection (SII), derived from , exhibits notable anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress properties.

Clinicopathological Characteristics of Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor: A Single Center Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare intermediate-grade neoplasm. It presents a great challenge in diagnosis and treatment. This study aims to identify the clinicopathological characteristics of IMT.

Cerebellar representation during phonetic processing in tonal and non-tonal language speakers: An ALE meta-analysis.

The role of the cerebellum in phonetic processing has been discovered and widely discussed for decades. However, with the idea that the cerebral representation of phonetic processing is different in tonal language and non-tonal language speakers, whether the cerebellar representation of phonetic processing differs based on language background remains unknown. In the present study, we conducted an activation likelihood estimation (ALE) analysis among 33 functional neuroimaging studies involving 541 healthy adults (213 tonal language speakers and 328 non-tonal language speakers).

Lightweight enhanced YOLOv8n underwater object detection network for low light environments.

In response to the challenges of target misidentification, missed detection, and other issues arising from severe light attenuation, low visibility, and complex environments in current underwater target detection, we propose a lightweight low-light underwater target detection network, named PDSC-YOLOv8n. Firstly, we enhance the input images using the improved Pro MSRCR algorithm for data augmentation. Secondly, we replace the traditional convolutions in the backbone and neck networks of YOLOv8n with Ghost and GSConv modules respectively to achieve lightweight network modeling.

Tocilizumab for Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer With Concomitant Cachexia: An Observational Study.

Background: Cancer cachexia significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Inflammatory pathways mediated by interleukin-6 (IL-6) play a crucial role in the development of cancer cachexia. This study aimed to investigate the use of tocilizumab in the management of NSCLC with coexisting IL-6-elevated cachexia.

Goat Milk Protein-Derived ACE Inhibitory Peptide SLPQ Exerts Hypertension Alleviation Effects Partially by Regulating the Inflammatory Stress of Endothelial Cells.

Hypertension has always posed a severe threat to people's health. Food-derived angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory peptides have the potential to both prevent and treat hypertension. In the current investigation, two ACE-inhibitory peptides (SLPQ and PYVRYL) from goat milk were studied for their endothelial effects using EA.

Preparation of hydrophilic PVDF membranes through in situ assembly of phytate-polyethyleneimine-Fe for efficient separation of herbal volatile oil from oily water.

In the realm of oil-water separation technologies, membrane-based separation emerges as an efficacious approach. Nevertheless, crafting a hydrophilic membrane capable of effectively segregating herbal volatile oil remains a formidable challenge. Our study introduces a facile in situ assembly strategy for fabricating a double-crosslinked composite coating comprising phytate (PA)-polyethyleneimine (PEI) polyelectrolyte complexes and PA-Fe⁺ assemblies.

MatSwarm: trusted swarm transfer learning driven materials computation for secure big data sharing.

The rapid advancement of Industry 4.0 necessitates close collaboration among material research institutions to accelerate the development of novel materials. However, multi-institutional cooperation faces significant challenges in protecting sensitive data, leading to data silos.

Optimization and Preparation of Ultrasound-Treated Whey Protein Isolate Pickering Emulsions.

This study aimed to create Pickering emulsions with varying oil fractions and assess the impact of ultrasonic treatment on the properties of Whey Protein Isolates (WPIs). At 640 W for 30 min, ultrasound reduced WPI aggregate size, raised zeta potential, and improved foaming, emulsifying, and water-holding capacities. FTIR analysis showed structural changes, while fluorescence and hydrophobicity increased, indicating tertiary structure alterations.

Identification of key biomarkers and therapeutic targets in sepsis through coagulation-related gene expression and immune pathway analysis.
