Various positioning techniques have been described for the osteosynthesis of olecranon fractures, each with their own pros and cons. The supine position is time-efficient and better suited in a polytrauma setting but frequently requires an assistant to maintain optimal limb positioning. Also, adequate fluoroscopic imaging is not possible without moving the operative extremity outside the sterile field. We describe a simple and reproducible method addressing these limitations while providing excellent surgical access and intraoperative imaging.

Background: Additional to total protein content, the amino acid (AA) profile is important to the nutritional value of soybean seed. The AA profile in soybean seed is a complex quantitative trait controlled by multiple interconnected genes and pathways controlling the accumulation of each AA. With a total of 621 soybean germplasm, we used three genome-wide association study (GWAS)-based approaches to investigate the genomic regions controlling the AA content and profile in soybean.

Heterocyclic compounds are increasingly used in medicinal chemistry because they are the main components of many biological processes and materials. Benzimidazole remains the core center of the heterocyclic chemical group, with essential traits such as six-five-member connected rings and two nitrogen atoms at the 1,3 position in a six-membered benzene and five-membered imidazole- fused ring system. Molecules with benzimidazole derivatives serve important functions as therapeutic agents and have shown excellent results in clinical and biological research.

Human γδ T cells in the tumor microenvironment: Key insights for advancing cancer immunotherapy.

The role of γδ T cells in antitumor responses has gained significant attention due to their unique major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-independent killing mechanisms, which distinguish them from conventional αβ T cells. Notably, γδ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) have been identified as favorable prognostic markers in various cancers. However, γδ TIL subsets, including Vδ1, Vδ2, and Vδ3, exhibit distinct prognostic implications and phenotypes from one another within the tumor microenvironment (TME).

Polysialic acid-based nanoparticles for enhanced targeting and controlled dexamethasone release in pulmonary inflammation treatment.

Int J Biol Macromol

January 2025

School of Pharmaceutical Science, Liaoning University, Shenyang 110036, China; Liaoning Key Laboratory for New Drug Development, Shenyang 110036, China. Electronic address:

Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are life-threatening conditions characterized by severe inflammation and respiratory failure. Despite the use of dexamethasone (Dex) in treatment, challenges such as poor solubility and systemic side effects persist, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic approaches. This study introduces an innovative nanoparticle delivery system based on chitosan (CS) and polysialic acid (PSA), engineered via electrostatic assembly, to improve the targeted delivery of Dex to inflamed lung tissues.

Synthesis of novel pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) C1-substituted monomers and dimers with DNA-binding activity and cytotoxicity.

Bioorg Med Chem Lett

January 2025

School of Cancer & Pharmaceutical Sciences, Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine, King's College London, Franklin-Wilkins Building, 150 Stamford Street, London SE1 9NH, UK. Electronic address:

The pyrrolobenzodiazepines (PBDs) represent a major class of sequence-selective DNA-alkylating molecules, one example of which, in its dimeric DNA-cross-linking form, is employed as the payload in the anticancer Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl. To date, PBD analogues have been produced with substituents at every position of the tricyclic skeleton except the C1-position. We report here the first synthesis of a C1-subsitituted PBD monomer and dimer, both of which possess DNA-binding activity and cytotoxicity in a cancer cell line.
