Objective: Various regulatory mechanisms have been demonstrated to be associated with cancer progression. ncRNA and mRNA play important roles in gastric cancer (GC) cell growth and drug resistance, respectively. However, the regulatory network of ncRNA and mRNA in GC oxaliplatin (OXA) resistance has not been fully clarified.
Methods: The expression of miR-22-3p, MALAT1, and zinc finger protein 91 (ZFP91) was detected in tissues and cells using quantitative real-time PCR. The protein level of ZFP91 was measured by Western blot analysis. Luciferase reporter, pull-down, and RNA immunoprecipitation assays were used to determine the relationship between MALAT1, miR-22-3p, and ZFP91. MTT assay was applied to measure cell survival and proliferation. Cell apoptosis was detected using flow cytometry. Tumor xenograft assay was used to detect the function of miR-22-3p in vivo.
Results: In this study, we found that MALAT1 and ZFP91 expression was upregulated while the expression of miR-22-3p was downregulated in GC/OXA tissues and cells. Additionally, miR-22-3p was a target miRNA of MALAT1 and ZFP91 was a target mRNA of miR-22-3p. Functional studies showed that the knockdown of MALAT1 or overexpression of miR-22-3p inhibited GC/OXA cell survival, proliferation, and drug resistance as well as induced apoptosis, which could be reversed by the inhibition of miR-22-3p or overexpression of ZFP91.
Conclusion: We observed a new regulatory network for MALAT1 in drug resistance of GC. MALAT1 modulates ZFP91 to promote GC cells OXA resistance via sponging miR-22-3p.

Objectives: We assessed HIV-1 drug resistance profiles among people living with HIV (PLWH) with detectable viral load (VL) and on dolutegravir-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Botswana.
Methods: The study utilised available 100 residual HIV-1 VL samples from unique PLWH in Francistown who had viraemia at-least 6 months after initiating ART in Botswana's national ART program from November 2023 to January 2024. Viraemia was categorized as low-level viraemia (LLV) (VL: 200-999 copies/mL) or virologic failure (VF) (VL ≥1000 copies/mL).

Biofilm-induced chronic bacterial infections represent a significant challenge in modern medicine due to their resistance to conventional antibiotic treatments. Although photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising antibiotic-free antibacterial strategy, the hypoxic condition within biofilms and the lack of an effective local drug delivery system have limited the clinical effectiveness of photosensitizer (PS) agents. Herein, we propose a type of charge regulation-enhanced type I PS-loaded hydrogel dressing for treating biofilm infection.

Abortusequi ( Abortusequi) is the primary cause of abortions in equine animals, and can cause serious foodborne illness. Thus, effective biocontrol strategies are needed to decontaminate and control the emergence of foodborne diseases. In recent years, phages have been used as a new strategy for modulating foodborne pathogens and food safety.
