A kidney transplant is the best option for patients with end-stage renal disease. The waiting list period can be long, especially for highly sensitized patients. We describe a 60-year-old woman who received a second transplant and was highly sensitized to vascular access exhaustion, anuric, and performing peritoneal dialysis. At 27 days post-transplant, the patient developed thrombosis of the allograft vein, oliguria, and elevated serum creatinine. Fibrinolysis was attempted, but the patient remained oliguric and with acute graft dysfunction. She had a suction thrombectomy using the Penumbra System, allowing the removal of all thrombi and repermeabilization of the vein graft, resolving the acute graft dysfunction.

Purpose: The development of endocrine resistance remains a significant challenge in the clinical management of estrogen receptor-positive ( ) breast cancer. Metabolic reprogramming is a prominent component of endocrine resistance and a potential therapeutic intervention point. However, a limited understanding of which metabolic changes are conserved across the heterogeneous landscape of ER+ breast cancer or how metabolic changes factor into ER DNA binding patterns hinder our ability to target metabolic adaptation as a treatment strategy.

Sensitive and accurate determination of acetamiprid is highly desirable for guaranteeing food safety. In this Letter, an energy-transfer-based dual-mode biosensor was developed using zinc-based metal-organic frameworks (Zn-MOFs) acting as both photoelectrochemical (PEC) and electrochemiluminescent (ECL) donors and Pt@CuO cubic nanocrystals (CNs) as the energy acceptor for detecting acetamiprid. By integration of aptamer recognition with two-step DNA circuit amplification (entropy-driven DNA cycle and DNA walker), the detection of acetamiprid was converted into the assay of abundant intermediate DNA strands.

Background: Patients on a kidney transplant waiting list with antibodies against more than 80% of a panel reactive antibody (PRA) are difficult to transplant, even with national or regional programs. Desensitization treatment with high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin and rituximab could be offered to patients with a long waiting time for a cadaveric donor to improve their odds of finding a kidney.
Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center study including all hyperimmunized patients on the waiting list for a cadaveric kidney donor who received a desensitization treatment between 2010 and 2020.
An Emerging Toolkit of Ho Sensitized Lanthanide Nanocrystals with NIR-II Excitation and Emission for Bioimaging.

Optical imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) holds great promise for biomedical detection due to reduced tissue scattering and autofluorescence. However, the rational design of NIR-II probes with superior excitation wavelengths to balance the effects of tissue scattering and water absorption remains a great challenge. To address this issue, here we developed a series of Ho-sensitized lanthanide (Ln) nanocrystals (NaYF: Ho, Ln@NaYF) excited at 1143 nm, featuring tunable emissions ranging from 1000 to 2200 nm for bioimaging.

Ultra-narrowband and highly modifiable multiple resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) materials are crucial for realizing high-performance wide-color-gamut display applications. Despite progress, most MR-TADF emitters remain confined to blue and green wavelengths, with difficulties extending into longer wavelengths without significant spectral broadening, which compromises color purity in full-color organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays. In this work, we present a novel tetraazacyclophane-based architecture embedding dual boron atoms to remarkedly enhance intramolecular charge transfer through the strategic positioning of boron and nitrogen atoms.
