AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
A strategy to construct high-ordered protein nanowires by electrostatic assembly of cricoid proteins and "soft nanoparticles" was developed. Poly(amido amine) (PAMAM) dendrimers on high generation that have been shown to be near-globular macromolecules with all of the amino groups distributing throughout the surface were ideal electropositive "soft nanoparticles" to induce electrostatic assembly of electronegative cricoid proteins. Atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy all showed that one "soft nanoparticle" (generation 5 PAMAM, PD5) could electrostatically interact with two cricoid proteins (stable protein one, SP1) in an opposite orientation to form sandwich structure, further leading to self-assembled protein nanowires. The designed nanostructures could act as versatile scaffolds to develop multienzyme-cooperative antioxidative systems. By means of inducing catalytic selenocysteine and manganese porphyrin to SP1 and PD5, respectively, we successfully designed antioxidative protein nanowires with both excellent glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities. Also, the introduction of selenocysteine and manganese porphyrin did not affect the assembly morphologies. Moreover, this multienzyme-cooperative antioxidative system exhibited excellent biological effect and low cell cytotoxicity.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to define the intramuscular nerve distribution of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) and the innervation zones (IZ) to describe the optimal botulinum toxin injection sites.
Methods: The cricoid cartilage (CC), laryngeal prominence (LP) and hyoid bone (HB) and angle of mandible (AM) were determined as landmarks. The length of the muscles were measured between the sternoclavicular joint and tip of the mastoid process.
Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen PET/CT Detection of Prostate Cancer Metastasis to Thyroid and Cricoid Cartilages.

From the Department of Radiology, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR.
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT has revolutionized the imaging of prostate cancer. Historically, prostate cancer metastasis to thyroid and cricoid cartilages was thought to be exceedingly rare, with only a few reported cases in the literature. Prostate cancer metastasis to the laryngeal cartilages was detected in 4 of 221 patients who underwent imaging with 18 F-PSMA (Pylarify) or 68 Ga-PSMA (Illuccix) PET/CT for initial staging of high-risk prostate cancer or restaging evaluation in the setting of biochemical recurrence from April 2022 through October 2023.

Background: The abscopal effect, in which radiation induces a systemic anti-tumour immune response, has been demonstrated with radiotherapy. Immunotherapy boosts the abscopal effect by facilitating the immune response to radiation. Radiotherapy and programmed cell death protein 1/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) blockade has resulted in the boosted abscopal effect in solid cancers, but its role in anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is unknown.

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), caused by laryngeal infection with low-risk human papillomaviruses, has devastating effects on vocal communication and quality of life. Factors in RRP onset, other than viral presence in the airway, are poorly understood. RRP research has been stalled by limited preclinical models.

A controllable protein nanostructures-based "On/Off" switchable artificial light-harvesting system (LHS) with sequential multistep energy transfer and photocatalysis was reported herein for mimicking the natural LHS in both structure and function. Single-layered protein nanosheets were first constructed via a reversible covalent self-assembly strategy using cricoid stable protein one (SP1) as building blocks to realize an ordered arrangement of pigments. Fluorescent chromophores like carbon dots (CDs) can be precisely distributed on the protein nanosheets superficially via electrostatic interactions and make the ratio between donors and acceptors adjustable.
