In the late nineties, polyacrylamide gel (PAAG) gained popularity in China as a soft tissue filler for breast augmentation and contouring, but was banned 10 years later due to the increasing incidence of complications. We report a case of PAAG complication that occurred 20 years after the initial injection, where the patient had significant unilateral breast swelling and an intracapsular lesion. Surgical removal of the breast filler and immediate breast reconstruction was successfully performed, and histology confirmed a benign breast lesion. These findings highlight the importance of clinical awareness of PAAG breast filler complications.

Azurin a potent anticancer and antimicrobial agent isolated from a novel Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain.

Azurin, a bacterial blue-copper protein, has garnered significant attention as a potential anticancer drug in recent years. Among twenty Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, we identified one isolate that demonstrated potent and remarkable azurin synthesis using the VITEK 2 system and 16S rRNA sequencing. The presence of the azurin gene was confirmed in the genomic DNA using specific oligonucleotide primers, and azurin expression was also detected in the synthesized cDNA, which revealed that the azurin expression is active.

The dynamic landscape of mRNA technology highlights the need for innovative quality control (QC) strategies. In this study, we described an efficient one-step digestion approach for concurrent generation of 5'- and 3'-end fragments, enabling simultaneous mRNA capping and poly(A) tail analysis. Tailored 10-23-type DNAzymes, designed from 5'- and 3'-Untranslated Regions (UTRs), selectively cleaved mRNA to release both the 5'-Capped or uncapped short fragments and 3'-Poly(A) tail cleavage products.

Direct thrombin inhibitors (designated as EuRL-DTIs) were partially purified from ethanol extracts of Euphorbia resinifera O.Berg latex. The obtained EuRL-DTIs comprised four major compounds: two isomers of phenolic compounds (CHO) and two amide compounds (tentatively identified as CHNO and CHNO), as identified by liquid chromatography and electrospray ionisation quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS), attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, and/or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

Growth in the development of engineered polymerases for synthetic biology has led to renewed interest in assays that can measure the fidelity of polymerases that are capable of synthesizing artificial genetic polymers (XNAs). Conventional approaches require purifying the XNA intermediate of a replication cycle (DNA → XNA → DNA) by denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, which is a slow, costly, and inefficient process that requires a large-scale transcription reaction and careful extraction of the XNA strand from the gel slice. In an effort to streamline the assay, we developed a purification-free approach in which the XNA transcription and reverse transcription steps occur inside the matrix of a hydrogel-coated magnetic particle.

Transitions between chiral rotational locomotion modes occur in a variety of active individuals and populations, such as sidewinders, self-propelled chiral droplets, and dense bacterial suspensions. Despite recent progress in the study of active matter, general principles governing rotational chiral transition remain elusive. Here, we study, experimentally and theoretically, rotational locomotion and its chiral transition in a 2D polyacrylamide (PAAm)-based BZ gel driven by Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction-diffusion waves.
