Herein, a delicate bifunctional reagent regulated ratiometric electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor was developed for the detection of deoxynivalenol (DON) by virtue of the ratio of two ECL signals from Luminol and tris(4,4'-dicarboxylicacid-2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) dichloride (Ru(dcbpy)). Initially, surfactant-assisted synthesis of TiO mesocrystals dispersing in Nafion and ionic liquid (IL) complex film held great promises in loading Ru(dcbpy) and amplifying the ECL signal. Additionally, helical carbon nanotube (HCNTs) with superior specific area and good conductivity emerging as a scaffold not only realized the high fixing of Luminol, ferrocenecarboxylic acid (FCA) and secondary antibody (Ab), but accelerated the electron transfer. It's noteworthy that FCA was first utilized as a bifunctional reagent to regulate the ratiometric ECL sensing mode on account of the influences in enhancing the ECL response of Luminol and quenching the ECL emission of Ru(dcbpy). On the basis of the sandwich-type immunoreactions between Ab, DON and Ab, an accurate and sensitive ratiometric ECL immunosensor was established for the detection of DON in a wide range from 0.05 pg/mL to 5 ng/mL with the detection limit of 1.67 × 10 pg/mL.

To assess the efficacy, safety, and stability of refractive outcomes in hyperopic Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) with and without the application of Mitomycin C (MMC). This randomized, parallel group, controlled multicenter trial included 140 hyperopic eyes. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups: one receiving LASIK with mitomycin C (MMC) (n = 70) and the other receiving LASIK without MMC (n = 70).

Predicting cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (Cis-AKI) before its onset is important. We aimed to develop a predictive model for Cis-AKI using patient clinical information based on an interpretable machine learning algorithm. This single-center retrospective study included hospitalized patients aged ≥ 18 years who received the first course of cisplatin chemotherapy from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2020, at Nagoya City University Hospital.

The CUT&RUN technique facilitates detection of protein-DNA interactions across the genome. Typical applications of CUT&RUN include profiling changes in histone tail modifications or mapping transcription factor chromatin occupancy. Widespread adoption of CUT&RUN is driven, in part, by technical advantages over conventional ChIP-seq that include lower cell input requirements, lower sequencing depth requirements, and increased sensitivity with reduced background signal due to a lack of cross-linking agents that otherwise mask antibody epitopes.

Cisplatin is a platinum-based drug that is frequently used to treat multiple tumors. The anti-tumor effect of cisplatin is closely related to the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), which includes several immune cell types, such as the tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs), dendritic cells (DCs), myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), regulatory T cells (Tregs), and natural killer (NK) cells. The interaction between these immune cells can promote tumor survival and chemoresistance, and decrease the efficacy of cisplatin monotherapy.

Aim: To compare the prognosis of low-grade endometrial carcinoma (LG-EC) with that of high-grade endometrial carcinoma (HG-EC) after first recurrence/relapse before the molecular targeted therapy era.
Methods: Recurrent/relapsed endometrial cancer was diagnosed in 155 women at our hospital between January 26, 1999 and February 26, 2019. Fifty of these women received paclitaxel-carboplatin, two received doxorubicin-cisplatin, and one received docetaxel-carboplatin as postoperative chemotherapy.
