CD7-targeted chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cell therapy has shown great promise in the treatment of relapsed/refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). In this study, we reported a case of a 34-year-old male patient with T-ALL who finally developed multi-line drug resistance and refractoriness after multiple lines of high-intensity chemotherapy. After physician evaluation, this patient received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).

The main characteristics of Parkinson's disease (PD) are the loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons and abnormal aggregation of cytosolic proteins. However, the exact pathogenesis of PD remains unclear, with ferroptosis emerging as one of the key factors driven by iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation. Glial cells, including microglia, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes, serve as supportive cells in the central nervous system (CNS), but their abnormal activation can lead to DA neuron death and ferroptosis.

Manual semen evaluation methods are subjective and time-consuming. In this study, a deep learning algorithmic framework was designed to enable non-invasive multidimensional morphological analysis of live sperm in motion, improve current clinical sperm morphology testing methods, and significantly contribute to the advancement of assisted reproductive technologies. We improved the FairMOT tracking algorithm by incorporating the distance and angle of the same sperm head movement in adjacent frames, as well as the head target detection frame IOU value, into the cost function of the Hungarian matching algorithm.

Background: Previous studies have identified sarcopenia as a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, these studies primarily focused on sarcopenia status at baseline, without considering changes in sarcopenia status during follow-up. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between changes in sarcopenia status and the incidence of new-onset cardiovascular disease.

Objectives: To analyze the influence of daily activity-related factors associated with COVID-19 infection on the occurrence of acute angle closure (AAC).

Methods: A multicenter hospital-based study was conducted at 23 ophthalmic centers in 17 provincial-level regions across China to recruit patients with confirmed AAC during the post-lockdown time of COVID-19 (P-TOC) from Dec 7, 2022, to Jan 17, 2023, and three lockdown time of COVID-19 (TOC) periods, which included the TOC-2022 (Sep 7, 2022 - Dec 6, 2022), TOC-2021(Sep 7, 2021 - Jan 6, 2022) and TOC-2020 (Sep 7, 2020 - Jan 6, 2021). Patient information, including demographic, a questionnaire on daily activity changes during the AAC period, COVID-19 history, and eye examination results, was collected.

As a clean energy source with high calorific value and clean products, the research and development of electrocatalysts for overall water splitting is a crucial step. In this study, a Mo-doped NiS modified CeO/Ni(OH) nanorod with oxygen-rich vacancies (CeO/Ni(OH)@Mo-NiS) was synthesized by hydrothermal method. The strong hybridization between Ni-3d and O-2p orbitals at deep energy levels can achieve overall metallic properties.

Background: More evidence have shown that the combination of immune and inflammatory mechanism was critical in diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, the relationship between CD4+ T cells and the development of DN is still unclear. Therefore, this study will focus on this issue from the perspective of clinicopathology.

There is an urgent need for quick, sensitive, thorough, and low-cost preliminary screening and rapid identification method for probiotic resource development. Here, we constructed a culture-free, accurate and sensitive "separation-enrichment-detection" rapid evaluation and identification method of probiotics in fermented food based on Ramanomes technology, and established a Ramanome reference of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts by AgNPs nanostructure array (AgNPs NSA) chips with uniform "hot spots" and high signal enhancement ability as SERS substrates. Systematic cluster analysis could clearly distinguish among different genera of lactic acid bacteria and yeast, and could indicate the affinity and difference between lactic acid bacteria of the same genus and yeast of the same genus.

In the food industry, the emulsifying process alters both the stability and quality of the emulsified products prepared by bovine bone high-temperature hydrolysate (BBHH). The microstructure and interactions of BBHH emulsion were characterized by cryo-scanning electron microscopy (Cryo-SEM) and Raman spectroscopy during emulsification. Notably, BBHH emulsion exhibited the best properties under emulsifying for 120 s, attributed to its interfacial adsorption characteristics.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how adding FG improves the stability of emulsions made with BBPH, a natural protein used for healthy food products.
  • It was found that increasing FG concentrations resulted in larger particle sizes and better emulsion stability, with optimal performance noted at 0.4% FG.
  • The emulsions maintained high stability during storage and demonstrated low oxidation levels, suggesting that FG could enhance the application of BBPH in the food industry.

To address immune escape, multi-specific CAR-T-cell strategies use natural ligands that specifically bind multiple receptors on malignant cells. In this context, we propose a split CAR design comprising a universal receptor expressed on T cells and ligand-based switch molecules, which preserves the natural trimeric structure of ligands like APRIL and BAFF. Following optimization of the hinges and switch labeling sites, the split-design CAR-T cells ensure the native conformation of ligands, facilitating the optimal formation of immune synapses between target cancer cells and CAR-T cells.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases the risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, the causal relationships between renal function and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to determine the causal relationships between genetic susceptibility to impaired renal function and the risk of CVD endpoints, as well as cardiac structure and function detectable by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).

Glycoproteins, representing a significant proportion of posttranslational products, play pivotal roles in various biological processes, such as signal transduction and immune response. Abnormal glycosylation may lead to structural and functional changes of glycoprotein, which is closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases. Consequently, exploring protein glycosylation can shed light on the mechanisms behind disease manifestation and pave the way for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

  • Stroke is a major health issue globally, particularly in China, where excessive fluoride exposure may contribute to stroke risk factors like hypertension and atherosclerosis, though research on this link is limited.
  • An ecological study in Changwu Town, a region with high fluoride levels due to drinking water, collected data from 2017-2021, showing rising stroke prevalence rates and significant differences between endemic and non-endemic areas.
  • The study found a statistically significant dose-response relationship between fluoride exposure and stroke prevalence, suggesting long-term fluoride overexposure from drinking water could be a potential risk factor for developing strokes.

Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editors' attention by a concerned reader that certain of the Transwell cell migration and invasion assay data shown in Fig. 3B were strikingly similar to data appearing in different form in a pair of other articles written by different authors at different research institutes, one of which had already been published elsewhere prior to the submission of this paper to , and one of which was under consideration for publication at around the same time. In view of the fact that the abovementioned data had already apparently been published previously, the Editor of has decided that this paper should be retracted from the Journal.

Death receptor-mediated extrinsic apoptosis system had been developed as a promising therapeutic strategy in clinical oncology, such as TRAIL therapy. However, multiple studies have demonstrated that TRAIL resistance is the biggest problem for disappointing clinical trials despite preclinical success. Targeting cellular FLICE inhibitory protein (cFLIP) is one strategy of combinatorial therapies to overcome resistance to DR-mediated apoptosis due to its negative regulator of extrinsic apoptosis.
