AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Histamine infusion modifies the kallikrein system, studied by kaolin contact method, in man. The main modifications are the increase of the spontaneous esterase activity and the prekallikrein lowering. Apparently the histamine administration activates the kallikrein, and consequently a release of kinin can take place.

Study on Interaction Between 5-(4 Methoxyphenyl)-1-Phenyl-1H-1,2,3-Triazole with High-Abundant Blood Proteins and Identification of Low-Abundant Proteins by Serum Proteomics.
J Sep Sci

Key Laboratory of Tropical Medicinal Resource Chemistry of Ministry of Education, Hainan Normal University, Haikou, China.
A comprehensive strategy, including spectroscopic, molecular simulation, proteomics, and bioinformatics techniques, was employed to investigate a novel triazole, 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole, its interactions with high-abundance blood proteins, and identification of low-abundance proteins. The binding constants and thermodynamic parameters of the triazole to two high-abundance blood globular proteins, human serum albumin, and human immunoglobulin G (HIgG), were obtained by spectroscopic techniques and computational chemistry. The two-dimensional gel electrophoresis in combination with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry was employed to isolate and identify differentially expressed low-abundance proteins in human blood serum samples following exposure to the triazole.

Department of Urology, The Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, No. 23 Pingjiang Road, Hexi Destrict, Tianjin, 300211, China.
To develop and validate biopsy-free nomograms to more accurately predict clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) in biopsy-naïve men with prostate imaging reporting and data system (PI-RADS) ≥ 4 lesions. A cohort of 931 patients with PI-RADS ≥ 4 lesions, undergoing prostate biopsies or radical prostatectomy from January 2020 to August 2023, was analyzed. Various clinical variables, including age, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, prostate volume (PV), PSA density (PSAD), prostate health index (PHI), and maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) from PSMA PET-CT imaging, were assessed for predicting csPCa.

Cancer Med

Department of Urology, Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow, UK.
Background: To assess how centralisation of cancer services via robotic surgery influenced positive surgical margin (PSM) occurrence and its associated risk of biochemical recurrence (BCR) in cases of pT2 prostate cancer (PC).
Methods: Retrospective analysis of all radical prostatectomy (RP) cases performed in the West of Scotland during the period from January 2013 to June 2022. Primary outcomes were PSM and BCR.
N-glycosylation in the SERPIN domain of C1-Esterase Inhibitor in hereditary angioedema.
JCI Insight
January 2025
Medicine, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, United States of America.
Hereditary angioedema is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by defects in C1-esterase inhibitor (C1-INH), resulting in poorly controlled activation of the kallikrein-kinin system and bradykinin overproduction. C1-INH is a heavily glycosylated protein in the serine protease inhibitor (SERPIN) family, yet the role of these glycosylation sites remains unclear. To elucidate the functional impact of N-glycosylation in the SERPIN domain of C1-INH, we engineered four sets consisting of 26 variants at or near the N-linked sequon (NXS/T).

JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Erasmus MC Cancer Institute, University Medical Center Rotterdam, Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Importance: Active surveillance (AS) for patients with prostate cancer (PC) often includes fixed repeat prostate biopsies that do not account for the varying risk of reclassification to significant disease. Given the invasive nature and potential complications of biopsies, a personalized approach is needed to balance the burden of biopsies with the risk of missing disease progression.
Objective: To develop and externally validate a dynamic model that predicts an individual's risk of PC reclassification during AS.
