As its significant role, the selective recognition of G-quadruplex with specific structures and functions is important in biological and medicinal chemistry. Carbazole derivatives have been reported as a kind of fluorescent probe with many excellent optical properties. In the present study, the fluorescence of the dye (carbazole TO) increased almost 70 fold in the presence of bcl-2 2345 G4 compared to that alone in aqueous buffer condition with almost no fluorescence and 10-30 fold than those in the presence of other DNAs. The binding study results by activity inhibition of G4/Hemin peroxidase experiment, NMR titration and molecular docking simulation showed the high affinity and selectivity to bcl-2 2345 G4 arises from its end-stacking interaction with G-quartet. It is said that a facile approach with excellent sensitive, good selectivity and quick response for bcl-2 2345 G-quadruplex was developed and may be used for antitumor recognition or antitumor agents.

New iridium(III) compounds (C-C) bearing 2-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)quinoline ligands with different side groups (benzyl, 2,3,4,5,6-pentamethylbenzyl and 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl) were synthesized and characterized by using spectroscopic analyses. The effects of different side groups of iridium compounds on the photophysical and electrochemical properties have been investigated. The cytotoxicity and apoptosis of the compounds have been evaluated on breast cancer cell lines using various methods including MTT assay, flow cytometry, qRT-PCR, and colony formation.

To investigate the effects of plumbagin on the proliferation and apoptosis of human hepatoma Huh-7 cells and its mechanism based on the creatine kinase B(CKB)/p53 signaling pathway. Huh-7 cells were treated with plumbagin from 1 to 12 μmol·L~(-1) for cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assay, and 1, 3, and 6 μmol·L~(-1) were determined as low, medium, and high concentrations of plumbagin for subsequent experiments. CKB gene was knocked out in Huh-7 cells by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated proteins(Cas)-9 gene editing technology.

Cryoablation has become a valuable treatment modality for the management of liver cancer. However, one of the major challenges in cryosurgery is the incomplete cryodestruction near the edge of the iceball. This issue can be addressed by optimizing cryoablation parameters and administering thermotropic drugs prior to the procedure.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine the best target temperature for cooling treatment in rats experiencing heat stroke and to examine how this cooling helps reduce damage.
- The experiment involved 32 rats divided into four groups, with one experiencing heat stroke and varying levels of cooling applied to assess tissue damage and cell death.
- Results showed that while cooling helped alleviate tissue damage from heat stroke, cooling to a temperature 1°C higher than baseline seemed to have the most beneficial effects on cell apoptosis and protein expression, particularly lowering Bax levels in the lungs.
