A polysaccharide (ESPS) purified from Eupolyphaga sinensis Walker by ion exchange chromatography and gel chromatography was investigated, including its structure characterization and antitumor activity. The results showed that ESPS was composed of rhamnose, fucose, arabinose, xylose, glucose, and galactose in a molar ratio of 7.4: 3.1: 13.9: 9.3: 39.7: 26.5, with the mean weight (Mw) of 2.14 × 10Da; the main chain of ESPS was mainly composed of → 4) - α - D - Glcp - (1 → and → 3) - β - D - Galp - (1 →, and the side chains were connected to the main chain through the O-6 atom of glucose and O-4 and O-6 atom of galactose. In addition, ESPS promoted the lymphocyte proliferation and inhibited liver cancer cells growth through enhancing lymphocyte activity in vitro, mainly NK cells. Moreover, ESPS markedly stimulated immunity in H22-bearing mice by increasing the spleen and thymus indices and effectively inhibited H22 cell growth in vivo. These data indicated that ESPS was a polysaccharide component possessing high anti-hepatocellular carcinoma activity, representing a potential immunotherapy candidate for the treatment of liver cancer.

Coagulation factor XIa (FXIa) is associated with a low risk of bleeding and has been identified as an effective and safe target for the development of novel anticoagulant drugs. In this study, we established an ultrasensitive competitive dual-enzyme cascade signal amplification method for the quantitative analysis and screening of FXIa inhibitors. Due to the specific recognition of FXIa's active site by the aptamer AptE40, the AptE40-QDs-EK recognition probe modified with enterokinase (EK) and the aptamer AptE40, was attached to the MNPs-FXIa capture probe.

Thrombin plays a critical role in hemostasis and hemolysis, and is a significant biomarker for blood-related diseases. Detection and inhibitors screening of thrombin are essential in medical research. In this study, we developed a fluorescent sensor based on the interaction between quantum dots (QDs) and fibrinogen (Fib) for thrombin detection and its inhibitors screening.

Abstrac: Female adult Eupolyphaga sinensis Walker (FAESW) has traditionally been a food source in Southeast Asian countries such as China and India, due to its rich nutritional content. However, the nutritional value of male adults (MAESW) and its molts (MESW) has hardly been reported. Therefore, this study aims to explore the potential application of MAESW and MESW in food by investigating and comparing their nutritional composition (i.

Bacterial-infected wounds present a significant challenge in the medical field, posing a severe threat to public health. Traditional wound dressings have limited efficacy in treating bacterial-infected wounds, and antibiotics suffer from cytotoxicity and drug resistance. Consequently, an urgent requirement exists for developing multifunctional wound dressings capable of providing superior antimicrobial activity and expediting wound repair.
