Research on high-molecular-weight polysaccharides tends to be more difficult and lag in terms of their fine structures and bioavailability. We focused on Gastrodia elata Blume polysaccharides (GEPs) with different molecular weights and structural characteristics to reveal their bioactivities, especially those abundant high-molecular-weight GEPs. A novel high-yield polysaccharide (GEP1-2) with the high molecular weight of 3.

Peptide stapling techniques have historically relied on metal-catalyzed chemical reactions, with no examples using enzymes. Here, inspired by tyrosinase-mediated oxidation, we describe the efficient side-chain to side-chain coupling of p-amino phenylalanine (Z) and tyrosine (Y) amino acids using a commercially available tyrosinase. Stapling reactions between the i, i+3 to i, i+7 positions were all performed, proceeding in good conversion and under mild conditions compatible with various side chains, functional motifs and ring sizes, with the Z-Y product found to be more stable and obtained in a higher yield than the Y-Z product.

Background: Iatrogenic nerve injury is a consequential complication during surgery. Thus, real-time imaging of peripheral nerve (PN) possesses significant clinical implications. In recent years, the rapid advancements in optical molecular imaging (OMI) technology have provided essential technical foundations for the implementation of PN fluorescence imaging.

Background: A growing body of research is dedicated to developing new therapeutic agents for wound healing with fewer adverse effects. One of the proceedings being taken today in wound healing research is to identify promising biological materials that not only heal wounds but also vanish scarring. The effectiveness of nanofibers like polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), in improving wound healing can be related to their unique properties.

Rationale: In radical surgery for ovarian cancer (OC), hypotension that is difficult to correct is usually rare unless there is significant blood loss. We recently encountered a patient who developed persistent and severe hypotension during radical transabdominal OC surgery.
Patient Concerns: A patient was 52 years old with a history of hypertension and well-controlled preoperative blood pressure (BP).
