An ultimately selective photorelease system of chitosan-nanoparticles is constructed. Only under unique aspects of tumor-hypoxia physiological conditions, the preliminary locked phototrigger is unlocked by biological reduction to enable the release of the caged drug either by visible light or two-photon near-IR (NIR) excitation. This approach provides a highly discriminating photorelease of anticancer drug to hypoxic tumor cells, but not to healthy normal cells.

Lung cancer is one of the major causes of cancer morbidity and mortality. Subtyping of non-small cell lung cancer is necessary owing to different treatment options. This study is to evaluate the value of immunohistochemical expression of glypican-1 in the diagnosis of lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

Aim: To cross-culturally adapt the Knowledge about Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke Prevention Questionnaire (KAFSP-Q) for Chinese AF patients and validate its effectiveness.
Design: Instrument adaptation and cross-sectional validation.
Methods: The KAFSP-Q was translated into Chinese by using the forward and back translation method.

Background/objectives: Gut microbiota interacts with nutrients, which may be relevant to assigning a microbial signature to colorectal cancer (CRC). We aim to evaluate the potential of gut microbiota combined with dietary habits in the early detection of pathological findings related to CRC in the course of a screening program.
Methodology: The colonoscopy performed on 152 subjects positive for fecal occult blood test showed that 6 subjects had adenocarcinoma, 123 had polyps, and 23 subjects had no pathological findings.

Serious alcohol-associated hazards underscore the need to develop new biomarkers reflecting the biological changes caused by chronic alcohol use and predicting the risk of alcohol-related death. Oxidative stress is one mechanism of alcohol toxicity. The blood and urine redox status (total antioxidant capacity [TAC], total oxidative status [TOS], and oxidative stress index [OSI]) was assessed in 105 people who died a sudden death (controls), 47 people who died of alcohol overdose, and 102 people with alcohol dependency.

Top-view systems for lameness detection have advantages such as easy installation and minimal impact on farm work. However, the unclear lameness motion characteristics of the back result in lower recognition accuracy for these systems. Therefore, we analysed the compensatory behaviour of cows based on top-view walking videos, extracted compensatory motion features (CMFs), and constructed a model for recognising lameness in cows.
