Design of Cell-Penetrating Domain Antibodies via a Genetically Encoded β-Lactam Amino Acid.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, State University of New York at Buffalo, Buffalo, New York, 14260-3000, United States.

Domain antibodies such as monobodies provide an attractive immunoglobin fold for evolving high-affinity protein binders targeting the intracellular proteins implicated in cell signalling. However, it remains a challenge to endow cell permeability to these small and versatile protein binders. Here, we report a streamlined approach combining orthogonal crosslinking afforded by a genetically encoded β-lactam-lysine (BeLaK) and genetic supercharging to generate cell-penetrating monobodies.

Intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding for cerebral small vessel disease patients with dysphagia: A randomized controlled study.

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China; NHC Key Laboratory of Prevention and Treatment of Cerebrovascular Diseases, Zhengzhou, China; Dysphagia Research Institute, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China. Electronic address:

Objectives: This study reported the clinical effect of intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding (IOE) versus nasogastric tube feeding (NGT) on cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) patients with dysphagia.

Methods: This randomized controlled study included 60 CSVD patients with dysphagia who received routine treatment. Participants were randomly divided into the intervention group (with IOE, n = 30) and the control group (with NGT, n = 30).

Oral protein drugs' delivery faces challenges due to multiple absorption barriers for macromolecules. Co-administration with permeation enhancers and encapsulation in nano-carriers are two promising strategies to enhance their oral absorption. Herein, the poly(lactic--glycolic acid) nanoparticles (PLGA NPs) are decorated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and a traditional Chinese medicine-derived permeation enhancer borneol (BO) for oral insulin delivery.

Laparoscopic resection for oesophageal duplication cyst: A case report.

Int J Surg Case Rep

January 2025

Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2-5-1 Shikata-cho, Kita-ku, Okayama 700-8558, Japan. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • - Oesophageal duplication cysts are rare congenital malformations that can cause symptoms like difficulty swallowing, stomach pain, or respiratory issues, and may lead to serious complications requiring surgery.
  • - A 55-year-old woman underwent various imaging tests that showed a tumor near the oesophagogastric junction, leading to a decision for laparoscopic surgery to remove it, which confirmed it was a non-malignant mucinous cyst.
  • - Due to the uncertain relation between the cyst and the oesophageal wall, more extensive surgery (lower oesophagectomy and proximal gastrectomy) was performed instead of just removing the cyst.

Evaluation of Swallowing Function in Patients With H-type Tracheoesophageal Fistula.

J Pediatr Surg

November 2024

Hacettepe University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pediatric Surgery, Ankara, Turkiye. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • * Ten children with H-TEF were monitored using videofluoroscopic swallowing evaluation (VFSE), assessing factors like aspiration, oral phase efficiency, and esophageal motility during swallowing of liquids and solids.
  • * Results showed modest swallowing impairments among the children, with some experiencing liquid aspiration and varying degrees of esophageal dysmotility, highlighting the need for regular swallowing function evaluations in H-TEF patients.
