Developing new classes of drugs that are active against infections caused by is a priority for treating and managing this deadly disease. Here, we describe screening a small library of 20 DNA gyrase inhibitors and identifying new lead compounds. Three structurally diverse analogues were identified with minimal inhibitory concentrations of 0.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. The mechanisms underlying metastasis, which contributes to poor outcomes, remain elusive.
Methods: We used the Cancer Genome Atlas dataset to compare mRNA expression patterns of integrin α6 (ITGA6) and integrin β4 (ITGB4) in patients with CRC.

Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is used to evaluate donor lungs prior to lung transplantation. Development of pulmonary edema during EVLP is generally thought to represent inflammatory breakdown of the air-fluid barrier and these lungs are declined for transplant. We present the case of a donor lung that underwent stapled wedge resection during cold storage for air leak and the subsequent development of profound (∼650 mL) pulmonary edema around the staple line during EVLP.

Background: Intraoperative molecular imaging (IMI) uses a cancer-targeted fluorescent agent injected into patients to localize tumor nodules. Pafolacianine is a folate receptor (FR)-targeted near-infrared fluorescent probe. Almost 10% of patients have false negative fluorescence findings intraoperatively.

Background: The prevalence of very high-risk atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is significant in China, with suboptimal rates of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) compliance exacerbating plaque instability and causing a higher incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors (PCSK9i) are effective in reducing LDL-C levels, increase the stability of vulnerable plaque, and influence the progression of atherosclerosis through multiple mechanisms as demonstrated in animal studies. However, there is currently a lack of evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of high-intensity statin therapy combined with PCSK9i in the secondary prevention of ASCVD in the Chinese population.
